Samsung Wave (BADA Operating System)
Create a client application suitable for Samsung Wave (with the new BADA Operating System).

Navigate through alerts popups
There have been many times when I'm stopped and Waze is cycling through the different alerts that people have reported and I'll see the tail end of one and then it changes and I have no way to go back to see it again.
I would like to see a forward, backwards, and don't show this alert again option.

Loading Status
I find that usually waze appears to load quite quickly, but will then freeze intermittently and loosing GPS lock whilst actually finishing 'loading' (Contacting server etc). It would be good it some form of message or progress bar could be shown so that it is obvious that it is still loading and not actually frozen

No AI "where to" search available to test
I'm experiencing an issue with the AI-powered “Where To?” search feature in the Waze app.
Several members of my family have access to the new blue-and-white AI search button, which allows them to search for destinations using AI. However, this feature is completely missing from my Waze app. I can only see the standard microphone icon.
What makes this particularly confusing is that some of my family members are using older iPhone models, including the iPhone 14 and iPhone X (iPhone 10), and they have access to this AI search feature. Meanwhile, I'm using a much newer iPhone 16 Pro Max, yet the feature is not available on my device.
I would like to understand why this feature is available on older iPhone models but not on my newer device.
Could you please investigate and clarify the following?
Why is the AI-powered “Where To?” search feature missing from my Waze app?
Is this feature being enabled gradually for individual accounts rather than based on iPhone models?
Is there a specific setting, update, or account requirement needed to activate it?
Can your support team manually enable this feature on my Waze account?
I have also attempted to troubleshoot the issue, but the AI search button remains unavailable.
I would greatly appreciate your assistance in investigating this issue and enabling the AI-powered search feature on my account, especially since other family members already have access to it on older devices.

Dear Waze Development Team, Latvian language voise!
Dear Waze Development Team,
I am writing as a Waze user from Latvia to request the introduction of full Latvian voice search support in the Waze application.
Waze supports voice features in several languages, including Lithuanian, but Latvian voice search is still unavailable.
Latvian users would also like to use this feature in their native language.
We would like to be able to press the microphone button and say commands in Latvian, such as:
- Find Brivibas Street 100.
- Take me home.
- Find the nearest gas station.
I have already contacted Waze several times through different platforms over the past year, but unfortunately I have not received a response.
Could you please clarify:
- Why is Latvian voice search not currently supported?
- Is Latvian language support planned?
- When can Latvian users expect this feature?
We are not asking for special treatment. We simply want equal access to Waze features in our native language.
I would appreciate an official response.
Kind regards,

Be able to block roads only for you
Be able to block roads only for you would be great. Here in Stockholm we have some main roads in the city where you are not allowed to drive with studded winter tyres. It would be nice to be able to block them so that Waze does not have the ability to choose them.

Option to Move Navigation Icons to the Left for Improved Driver Safety
I would like Waze to consider adding an option to move the Speed, Your Trip, Search, and Report an Issue icons from the right side of the screen to the left.
With larger, vertically oriented infotainment screens becoming increasingly common, these icons often sit farther away from the driver’s natural field of vision, especially in left-hand-drive vehicles. This requires drivers to look farther to the right, potentially increasing the time their eyes are off the road.
A simple Left/Right Icon Placement setting would offer three key benefits:
- Improved Safety: Reduces unnecessary eye movement and potentially shortens the time drivers look away from the road.
- Better Accessibility: Places frequently used controls closer to the driver for quicker, more convenient access.
- Greater Flexibility: Accommodates different screen sizes, vehicle configurations, and driver preferences without changing the default layout.
This small interface improvement has the potential to make Waze safer and more practical for everyday driving.
If you agree that drivers should have this option, please vote to help bring this feature to Waze!

Gps coordinate
Subject: Feature Request / Parser Bug: Support DMS coordinate parsing with typographic symbols (Unicode primes/smart quotes)
Description:
The Waze search input parser fails to resolve valid geographic coordinates when pasted in the standard Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds (DMS) format containing typographic Unicode characters (such as curly apostrophes, prime, and double prime symbols).
Example of failing input:
50°9’49.079″N, 15°26’14.410″E
Root Cause & Steps to Reproduce:
1. Paste coordinates containing typographic prime symbols (’ U+2019 / ″ U+2033) or degree symbols (°) into the Waze search bar.
2. The search parser fails to sanitize/normalize the string into standard floating-point WGS84 decimal degrees (DD) before sending it to the geocoding service.
3. As a result, zero search results are returned for a completely valid geographic location.
Suggested Solution / Implementation:
Please update the search bar input regex / pre-processing pipeline to sanitize coordinates prior to geocoding:
Odrážka Normalize Unicode characters: Replace curly quotes (’, ‘), prime/double prime (′, ″), and typographic quotes with standard ASCII equivalents (', ") or strip them entirely.
Odrážka Regex Regex/Parser update: Implement robust regex matching for DMS input variations, converting standard/non-standard DMS formats (DD°MM'SS.s"N) directly to WGS84 Decimal Degrees (DD.dddddd) in the background before querying the geocoder.
Example Regex conversion logic:
Transform 50°9’49.079″N, 15°26’14.410″E \rightarrow 50.163633, 15.437336 seamlessly.Subject: Feature Request / Parser Bug: Support DMS coordinate parsing with typographic symbols (Unicode primes/smart quotes)
