Motorcycle interface improvement
Hello Waze Team,
I am a regular Waze user and find your app excellent for navigation and real-time traffic information.
However, as a motorcyclist, I have found that the current incident-reporting system is not well-suited for use while riding.
When on the road, interacting with a smartphone screen—especially while wearing gloves and with the phone mounted on the handlebars—is difficult and potentially dangerous.
It would be highly beneficial to develop an interface specifically designed for motorcyclists, which could include:
• Easy reporting of accidents, hazards, obstacles, or speed cameras.
• Reporting of risks specific to two-wheeled vehicles, such as loose gravel, fuel spills, slippery road surfaces, debris, potholes, or speed cameras.
• A simplified reporting mechanism using external hardware controls (push buttons and an acknowledgment LED) connected via Bluetooth.
• Minimizing the need to touch the screen while riding.
The goal is to allow motorcyclists to continue contributing to the Waze community while enhancing their own safety and that of other road users.
Could you let me know if such improvements are being considered, and if there is a channel through which I can submit this proposal to your product or technical team?
I am also willing to develop an interface for testing within a beta version.
Thank you for your hard work and for considering this suggestion.
Best regards,

Stop the gazetted speed pop up over the record of the current speed, have them beside each other so you can see each at the same time
Gazetted speed pops up at different times and stays over the current speed for various amounts of time, ideally it should be like google maps where the gazetted speed & your current speed are beside each other.
Additionally when your current speed is over the gazetted speed the colour combination can be difficult to read, maybe a yellow background with red numbers rather than the black/grey background with red numbers to make them easier to read.1 vote -
Allow independent volume scaling and HFP/Audio channel selection under CarPlay mode.
Hello Waze Team,
I am a loyal Waze user driving an older vehicle with an aftermarket external CarPlay screen. Currently, iOS forces all audio (music and navigation) into a single "Media" channel whenever CarPlay is active. This causes a major safety and user experience issue:
If I want to listen to music (e.g., Demus/Spotify) as a quiet background sound, Waze’s navigation prompts become completely inaudible. If I turn up the car's volume to hear Waze clearly, the background music becomes dangerously loud.
I have tried maximizing Waze's volume slider to 100%, but it still fails to create a sufficient volume gap with music apps due to CarPlay's forced mixing logic.
I strongly suggest Waze implement the following features under CarPlay mode:
1. Advanced Volume Booster / Independent Scaling: Allow users to boost Waze's voice guidance gain even further (e.g., up to 150% or 200%).
2. Force HFP (Hands-Free Profile) Option: Unblock the "Play as Bluetooth phone call" feature even when CarPlay is connected, allowing navigation to route through the car's native Bluetooth phone channel instead of the CarPlay media channel.
This would tremendously help millions of drivers using older car stereos and external screens. Thank you for your consideration!Hello Waze Team,

Changement d'itinéraire intempestif
Quand on sélectionne trajet secondaire (avec péage moins cher par exemple), le trajet se recalcule souvent et remet le trajet par défaut et souvent le plus coûteux sans validation manuelle. L'utilisateur n'a toujours pas les yeux rivés sur les écrans. Il serait beaucoup plus agréable de rester sur le trajet choisi initialement.

Removal of 'Sudden Shutdown'
I am a chauffeur in the UK and have witnessed multiple times how dangerous the 'Sudden Shutdown' report option is!
It causes undue alarm, panic and reactions of road users, which have caused sudden breaking and when I've witnessed it, nearly causing collisions on the motorways.

Emergency services
EMS agencies across the country are closing their doors, unable to afford to stay open so while navigation apps specific to fire and EMS exist, only the largest and best funded agencies can afford to use them, so most of us are forced to use apps like Waze or Google Maps to navigate during an emergency response. However roads best used in an ambulance or fire truck aren't the same as in your POV, you need to stick to main roads whenever possible, straight away's over curvy roads etc, and not a single app I have found for individual users addresses this. My greatest wish for Waze is that an emergency response mode is added - maybe you can also chose an ambulance, fire truck or police car as your vehicle icon but the main need is that there is an option in route planning for main road prioritization. A main road gives us more room to maneuver. And stop asssuminh agencies just pay for the paid services. Medicare reimburses $300 a call for my agency - and with how expensive the equipment is whether we need it on that particular call or not means we need way more than that to afford to keep the doors open let alone splurge on extras like area specific emergency navigation software. We go out of our way to ensure we get to someone as quickly and as safely as possible but we could do that much better if someone actually created something that helps us do that.

Severe CarPlay rotary controller navigation regression in Waze - BUG!!!
Since a recent update, Waze has become significantly harder to operate through the rotary iDrive controller in my 2024 BMW X5 using Apple CarPlay.
The following problems occur:
- When a road hazard or incident notification appears, it is difficult or sometimes impossible to access and respond to the notification using the vehicle’s rotary controller.
- When creating a new road report, the selection focus opens on seemingly random menu items rather than consistently starting at the first item.
- Navigation between menu items is unpredictable, and some controls cannot be selected without touching the vehicle’s display.
Previously, these interactions worked reliably.
This is a serious usability and driving safety regression because it forces drivers to look at and interact with the touchscreen instead of using the vehicle’s physical controls.
Please investigate the CarPlay focus navigation behavior, restore predictable menu ordering and selection, and ensure that all interactive elements are fully accessible through rotary controllers.
Environment:
- Vehicle: 2024 BMW X5
- Interface: BMW iDrive rotary controller
- Platform: Apple CarPlay
- Application: Waze
Similar problems have been reported by other users following recent iOS and Waze updates.

Suggestions for Improving Waze Navigation Features
Dear Waze Team,
First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude and congratulations for the great and valuable services Waze provides to society, making a significant contribution to urban mobility, road safety, and the optimization of the daily journeys of millions of users around the world.
Furthermore, I would like to present the following suggestions, which are offered solely as recommendations for potential improvements to your services.
Based on the example of the TomTom app, I would like to suggest the following features for Waze:
- A Traffic Events and Points of Interest Sidebar (Side Bar or Event Bar)
The introduction of a vertical sidebar, similar to the one displayed on the right-hand side of the TomTom app, which remains fixed on the screen and indicates the user's proximity to certain points of interest, such as gas stations, repair shops, hotels, and other relevant locations.
- More Detailed and Accurate Road Curvature Representation
Improved navigation visualization, particularly on highways, with more detailed geometric representations of the road and earlier visual indications of upcoming curves. Currently, the route is generally displayed as a straight line, with certain curves only becoming visible when they are particularly sharp. A more detailed representation would help users anticipate road geometry more effectively.
- Improved Positioning of Temporary Alerts Within the Waze Interface
Regarding Waze's existing interface, I would also like to suggest that temporary alerts, such as speed camera notifications and accident reports, should not overlap the Navigation Instruction Banner, which remains fixed in the upper-left portion of the screen.
Instead, these alerts could be displayed directly below the navigation instruction banner. I fully understand the importance of displaying these temporary notifications; however, when they overlap and temporarily obscure the navigation banner, users may lose sight of essential navigation information, even if only for a brief moment.
I believe that positioning these alerts below the navigation banner would help preserve the visibility of essential navigation instructions while allowing users to receive important notifications.
I remain at your disposal should any further clarification be required.
Thank you very much for your time, attention, and consideration.
Yours sincerely,

Slow going cars
Hi
I would like to make a suggestion regarding a "mode" to be implemented.
In Sweden we have cars for younger persons (from 15 years old) that aren´t allowed to faster then 30km/h and aren´t allowed to go on the highway/expressway/motorway. It would be nice to be able to choose this mode and the route is excluding the highways (I know you can choose that) and that the remaining time to destination is calculated with the 30km/h speed limit and the route should probably choose the shortest route per default.
Im available for questions if you would need more information or anything regarding this.
Best Regards

On land rover cars, when waze is shown on the digital dashboard, it is always in dark mode
On land rover cars, when waze is shown on the digital dashboard it is always in dark mode. However, the infotainment center console screen automatically switches between light and dark mode. Can you please fix this bug so that the digital dashboard map also syncs the light/dark mode automatically instead of always being in dark mode.
