1. Prioritize Full CarPlay Integration: HUD & Instrument Cluster Directions

   Hello Waze Team,

   This post is to strongly urge the prioritization of full integration with Apple CarPlay to enable turn-by-turn navigation on built-in Head-Up Displays (HUD) and digital instrument clusters.

   This remains one of the most critical safety and convenience features missing from Waze, and it's a primary reason why many drivers reluctantly switch to Apple Maps when using CarPlay.

   The Technical Framework Exists

   We understand that enabling this feature is entirely possible within Apple's provided framework. The process is initiated by implementing the mapTemplateShouldProvideNavigationMetadata(_:) delegate method. By returning true from this function, Waze can signal to CarPlay that it is ready to supply the necessary navigation metadata for the car's native screens.

   For your reference, the relevant documentation is here:
   Demo: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/216/?time=900
   PDF: https://developer.apple.com/download/files/CarPlay-Developer-Guide.pdf (page 52)
   Documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/carplay/cpmaptemplatedelegate/maptemplateshouldprovidenavigationmetadata(_:)

   Broad Vehicle Compatibility

   This isn't a niche request. An extensive and growing list of vehicles from major manufacturers already support this feature for Apple Maps and would immediately benefit from a Waze update. Implementing this would instantly improve the Waze experience for drivers of:

   • Acura: Integra, MDX, RDX, TLX, ZDX
   • Audi: A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, E-Tron GT, Q4 e-Tron, Q5, Q5 e, Q7, Q8, Q8 e-Tron, S3, RS 3

   • Volkswagen: Atlas/Atlas Cross Sport, Golf GTI, Golf R
   • Volvo: S60, S60 Recharge, S90, S90 Recharge, V60 Cross Country, V60 Recharge, V90 Cross Country, XC60, XC60 Recharge, XC90, XC90 Recharge

   And many more models from: Acura, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, Lexus, Lincoln, Nissan, Polestar, Toyota, and others.
   The "litmus test" is simple: if a car can show Apple Maps directions on its HUD or instrument cluster, it can show Waze directions, too—once you enable it.

   By implementing this feature, you would be delivering a massive quality-of-life and safety upgrade to a huge portion of your most loyal users. We are eagerly awaiting the day we can use our favorite navigation app with the full capability of our vehicles.

2. Stop routing traffic down quiet residential streets

   Your app has a very narrow focus. It doesn't take the actual street or the people that live on it into consideration. I have lived on a very quiet residential street until your app has increased in popularity. Thanks to your app, our street is now like a mini-highway and two neighbor pets have recently been killed. Additionally, your ignorant app doesn't take into consideration that it is directing traffic to take a very dangerous left turn onto Briarcliff Road. The results have been numerous accidents. Please take Stephens Drive, 30329 off your cut throughs at once.

5. show street name currently on

   It would be great to show the name of the street you're currently on, as well as that of the next turn. Also, show the name of the street you're on when not in navigation mode.

6. Quick-report presets

   The amount of phone interaction required for reporting is a bit onerous while driving. Tap to Report > select category > add optional additional info > send. I often skip reporting altogether to avoid distracting from driving.

   I would love to see the ability to have one-touch presets for making reports from the main screen. A single tap to mark & send a report on an accident, hazard, or speedtrap, etc.

   User might even be allowed to customize which presets are present and/or include specific text (i.e. "Left lane closed") for frequent events.

    Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.

11. send XMPP message when nearing destination (Jabber)

    some people are offended by outdated technology that requires one to pay for unwanted messages (sms).

    It is beyond inane to use sms on a smartphone when XMPP is far more featured, FREE, secure.

    Waze could further advertise the service with its own XMPP server. This would facilitate such messages, enhance social features, and expand the wondedful world of federation. Prosody and Tigase are great server options.

12. Alternate Route

    Very frustrating when Waze updates the route with a bunch of turns,including a few difficult left turns, and it results in a time savings of a minute or two. Sometimes it doesnt save any time at all. I suggest an option were you can choose a time savings minimum before waze will take you off your current route. For example I would prefer to stay on my current, more direct route, unless a time savings of 5 min is available then please change my route.
    Thanks

18. Toads on roads

    In the spring – March, April – when driving along ponds, lakes or rivers, toads migration is observed on the roads. To reduce the death of these amphibians, Nature Conservation Agency is organizing the “MISSION TOAD” or "TOADS on ROADS" campaign in Latvia. It is known that WAZE could inform other drivers about animals on the road some time ago. But currently it is not possible to report it. Could this function be returned? It would be a great contribution to the preservation of natural values.
