Drop a pin, select the wrong report category, but you cannot go back to correct like before
Release 4.101 is a step backwards. When I drop a pin and mistakenly select the wrong kind of report (for example tapping Police when I really wanted to tap Hazard) you can no longer go back to make the correct choice, you have to cancel the pin drop and start from scratch. The problem is now the new pin will be a few hundred yards further down the road than the hazard, which is not useful, especially for potholes, debris and the like. Please restore the ability to keep the pin drop but go back to the initial "What do…

Small footprint car icon set on the iPhone
Could you please consider to either bring back or reintroduce small footpeimt car icon set. There was very basic set of a blue, yellow or green car set, that were smaller in size and for the smaller car screens they were very ergonomic. Now with the replacement of a larger versions, map screen becomes more cluttered, larger car icon takes more space on the screen and does not bring any value just distraction. When you try to glance to the screen while driving you see big car icon first and then trying to figure out what is around the icon.…

Your new app is BAD. THE “plan a drive” is buried, there still isn’t an easy way to add a stop. I’ve quit using Waze as my regular map.
Make the app ACCURATE, and easy to use, plan a drive, change starting location, correct lanes to be in.- NO, I can’t “ stay in the HOV lane” , and exit the freeway at the same time!
I can’t be in the leftmost turn lane, and exit right to the freeway!
I’d like it to be easy to use-change start location, add a stop, maybe even help me route a drive- which stop in which order ( start and stop location, with 2-3 stops on the way)1 vote -

When entering a route that has HOV lanes, it would be helpful if Waze asked how many occupants are in the vehicle. 1, 2, 3+ And utilize the HOV lane where applicable.
3 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

Android Auto - Settings icon
Hello.
I use Android, everything is up to date. When I get in and start the car, Android Auto starts and there is a settings icon in the Waze application. While driving, this icon disappears and after stopping the car it is not visible. So when I want to set something, I have to disconnect and reconnect when the car is stationary. I understand that some settings are not allowed while driving, but they could be visible.

More candy on road!!
Is there a way to add more "candy" to the roads, other than just the coupe of pieces when you 1st get the app? I use the Waze app everyday, and thought it was cool when a piece of candy appeared on the road, and you would receive a few extra points for running it over. Could something be set to have one appear every 100 miles or something? I don't know what the points give you...but it would be "something", to keep people starting and running their app more often...maybe? Just a suggestion....and I think it would be…

Stop telling me where not to turn
In a recent update someone added the asinine feature that tells me where I should not turn as I cross every intersection, in 100 m don't turn just go straight you dumb idiot.. I don't get it my great aunt used to tell me the name of any every intersection I would cross when she tried to explain how to get somewhere instead of just telling me to drive straight up a particular road! It's asinine it's extraneous it's not helpful and it's annoying! There's no way to turn off this stupid feature and I'm stuck having ways tell me…

“Missed my turn” Button
Have a button that you can hit if you miss your turn/exit, so that the system automatically starts re-calculating the route. Sometimes it take a while for it to realize you missed (maybe the roads run near each other for a bit), and by the time it realizes, you may miss your next fastest opportunity.

Hello Waze team,
I faced an issue recently while using the app in Najaf, Iraq. I was very close to my destination (car showrooms), but the app gave me a long and unnecessary route, even though I was already facing the right direction and there was no traffic. My car was parked on the side of the road.
I suggest adding a "Walking Mode" for short distances, so users can reach nearby destinations more efficiently without being redirected through long driving routes.
Thank you for your great work!
Best regards,

Bluetooth power saving causes voice to be cut. Play custom sound file before.
Some phones and car radios have a power saving feature that mutes sound if no sound is played. Then, if a voice directive comes, it SHOULD be:
"in 100 meters, turn left"
but it IS:
"ers, turn left"So an option to let the user play a custom sound file befor every directive would be useful:
"[BING] ... in 100 meters, turn left."3 votesThanks for reaching out.

Problem: many road bifurcations, specially in obtuse angle + multiple ramifications.
Hello waze team here is abe writing a suggestion.
Problem: many road bifurcations, or multiple ramification roads specially in obtuse angle + between primary and secondary non clear small roads bring about navigation mistakes.solution: upon getting near the critical point of deviation Please make an automatic zoom ( 80M radius) to the relevant area and also insert blinking / intermittent dots to all existing ramification points ( green Dot for the correct lane to follow and black dots for all non relevant existing deviation roads. this way the driver visualize the correct direction in the roads matrix.

Waze should stop after disconnecting from car play
Waze starts automatically after connecting to carplay, but doesn’t turn off automatically after disconnecting from carplay. It should turn off automatically based on proximity to destination + carplay disconnect + optional couple minutes delay :) I think this will be a better user experience and will improve battery life of the user. I saw a few threads on reddit about this issue but without a solution.

Adapt to my route/Back blocks
So when I put direction in and I do not take the route Waze is providing (sometimes route is longer because they take main roads/streets) I would like for Waze to ask me should they keep this route for next time I go to same destinations. When we live in an area or are familiar with an area then we typically know what some refer to as “back blocks” or small blocks that cut away from traffic/road closures and/or saves time! Thank you for listening!

turn not allowed for next turn on carplay
When the turn I need to make is not available, I should be able to say "turn not available" in the edits while using carplay.
There isn't a need to be able to edit multiple streets, just the turn Waze is asking for because I need to be able to be re-directed in a foreign area.6 votes -
Question on red light camera alerts
I regularly travel through an intersection in the suburb of Marangaroo WA 6964 on Marangaroo drive, Mirrabooka Avenue that has a red light camera. When travelling east on Marangaroo drive there is an audible "red light camera ahead" from waze but when approaching the intersection from any other direction there is no warning. Why is that? Fixed speed cameras also sometimes have an audible alert and sometimes not. Is there a way that I can turn this to an always audible alert for all known cameras? Please respond to Semung@gmail.com.

Speed limit on
would it be possible to add if there is a speed limit in a public works.
Is it possible to add the start and end of a public works?1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.
