Allow Quick Alert Preference Changes
Allow context-aware/destination-based or in-dash audio profile switching (Normal vs. Alerts-only) on Android Auto/CarPlay.
The recent interface change removed quick audio profile toggles (Normal, Less chatty, Only alerts, Off) from the main map screen and restricted menu depth on Android Auto/CarPlay.:
This creates a major safety and usability paradox: drivers cannot change their audio/alert preferences via voice command, nor can they access these settings on the car dashboard while connected. To switch from full turn-by-turn navigation to "Only alerts" for a routine commute, a user is forced to completely disconnect their phone and fiddle with the mobile app.
Real-world driving needs change per destination (full guidance for unfamiliar areas vs. alerts-only for a known highway commute). Please update Android Auto and CarPlay integrations to either:
Allow quick toggling of audio/alert profiles directly from the active in-car interface.
Enable Google Assistant voice commands to switch between "Normal" and "Only alerts" modes hands-free.
Permit setting a default audio profile per saved destination or route type prior to/during navigation start.
Thank you for your time.

Please add local arrival time @destination
Airlines have been doing this for decades. Please show local arrival time for routes. This is especially helpful for when traveling/driving between different time zones. This should be added as a visual reference for navigation routes (again when traveling between different time zones).
Thank you

Map Efficiency
This is not so much an issue as a recommendation/request. I have a Toyota 4Runner and the touchscreen display is big. The current location for the action button is closer to the passenger than it is to the driver. It means I reach a long way to report road issues and it is a bit cumbersome while driving and trying to keep eyes on the road. I would ask that you consider moving the action button from the right side to the middle or left. You could make room for it by moving the trip details box over to the right. Thank you for any consideration you give this, you have a great product that has benefitted me on my travels for years.

Uber+waze
Há um tempo atrás quando o app uber motorista enviava a rota para o Waze no Android auto, o app da Uber continuava em primeiro plano no celular, e é isso que eu prefiro, deveria ter uma opção para o motorista escolher qual app permanecer em primeiro plano no celular caso o app específico envie uma rota, pois hoje o Uber envia a rota e minimiza deixando a lista de rota Waze em primeiro plano no celular, o que eu não gosto, porque a rota já está aberto no Android auto.

Waze Truck Mode – A Reliable Navigation System for Professional Drivers
Waze is an amazing application, and in my opinion, one of the best navigation apps available. But what makes Waze different from other navigation applications is not only the navigation itself — it is the community behind it.
Waze is constantly improved by its users and map editors. When there is an error or an outdated piece of information on the map, it can be reported, corrected and updated by the community. This is one of the main reasons why Waze can be so reliable for passenger cars.
As a professional truck driver, however, I have noticed that there is currently no navigation application or GPS for heavy goods vehicles that can offer the same combination of reliability, real-time information and community-driven map updates.
The problem is that truck navigation systems can contain outdated or incorrect information. For example, a road may be incorrectly marked as prohibited for heavy goods vehicles when it is actually allowed — or the opposite. There can also be incorrect information about bridge or tunnel height restrictions. A GPS may indicate that a bridge has a 4.00 m clearance, only for the driver to arrive there and discover that the actual limit is 3.70 m.
For a passenger car, an incorrect route is usually just an inconvenience. For a 40-ton truck, it can become a serious problem.
A truck driver cannot simply make a U-turn, reverse for several hundred metres, or easily take a small alternative road. We need reliable information before reaching these situations.
What I would like to see in Waze
I would therefore like to renew the request for a dedicated Heavy Vehicle / Truck mode in Waze.
- A dedicated Heavy Vehicle profile
Similar to the existing motorcycle profile, Waze could introduce a Truck / Heavy Vehicle profile.
The driver could enter the characteristics of their vehicle, such as:
Maximum height
Maximum width
Vehicle length
Gross vehicle weight
Number of axles
Potentially ADR / hazardous materials informationWaze could then calculate routes according to these characteristics.
- More heavy-vehicle information for map editors
Waze map editors could also have additional tools specifically for heavy vehicles.
For example, editors could specify:
Heavy vehicle speed limits, in addition to the standard speed limit
Weight restrictions, such as roads prohibited above 3.5 t, 7.5 t, 12 t, etc.
Height restrictions
Width restrictions
Length restrictions
Bridge and tunnel clearance
Other restrictions specifically affecting heavy vehiclesThis information could then be used by Waze when calculating a truck route.
- The biggest advantage: the Waze community
The biggest reason I believe Waze could be exceptionally good for trucks is precisely because of its community.
If a bridge clearance is incorrect, a weight restriction has changed, a road has become prohibited for trucks, or a restriction has been removed, Waze editors could update the information.
This would combine something that currently does not really exist in one application:
professional truck navigation + Waze's community-driven map + real-time traffic information.
That could make Waze an extremely powerful tool for professional drivers.
I know that dedicated truck navigation systems already exist, but their biggest weakness is often the accuracy and speed at which road restrictions and other information are updated. Waze already has a huge community capable of identifying and correcting problems.
I am not asking Waze to simply add a "truck" button.
I am asking for a complete Heavy Vehicle navigation system built on the strengths that already make Waze one of the best navigation applications for cars.
For professional drivers, accurate information is not just a convenience. It can make the difference between a normal delivery and being stuck in front of a bridge, in a narrow street, or on a road where a 40-ton truck simply cannot turn around.
I sincerely hope Waze will consider giving professional drivers the same level of community-powered navigation that car drivers already enjoy.

Power Outage
Yesterday, ie Aug 13, 2026, I was traveling to Northwest Indiana. I had entered a gas station and water park as destinations. I was not aware of the power outages affecting large swaths of the area. Both the gas station and water park were closed. I nearly ran out of gas. Waze could have easily been tied into a power outage reporting website eg. Poweroutage.us and reported the danger when I entered the route.

Atualização Android 16
A atualização para Android 16 retirou a função de desligar o app e/ou cancelar a rota pelo botão/função "voltar". Agora eu preciso manualmente fechar a rota e depois entrar no menu e desligar o Waze. Antes era muito mais ágil

waze on android auto
Why Can't we see a step by step list on Waze with android auto.
its very important to do so, to know before where there is going to be a sharp turn, or a turn left and right away a right turn even before the GPS got to know that you made already that left turn so you then missed the right turn1 vote -

Option to save the reports
In the last two months, I make the same trip to the workplace at (nearly) the same time. Here comes my problem:
• at the same road (gps location), lot of times I report the same Pothole. But (as I understand the logic):
o If more users liked this report, it will be available longer, but (as I think) after more users drove on the same road and reacted “Not there” or ignored, the report will be deleted shortly. Of course, the road does not repair itself.
o this “Pothole” is not a round hole on just one of the lanes; I would call it a “negative speed bump” or “invers speed bump”. Not a “bump” on the road, it is a missing part from the road, same width with the road. Then if I reported both directions (I concluded), the system cannot handle as two different Report and merge those.
My suggestion (apart from fixing the errors) is that the user can be saved his/her reports, like a custom marker.In the last two months, I make the same trip to the workplace at (nearly) the same time. Here comes my problem:
