Instead of “car on shoulder ahead” it should be “vehicle on shoulder ahead”
When I’m on the highway I hear car on shoulder ahead and I see a bike or a truck. I’d rather hear vehicle on shoulder as it’s not as single minded.

Clearer indication of menu option selected needed
I find it difficult to see at a glance which of the menu options I am on when driving and trying to glance at the Waze screen to select, let’s say, report a hazard. The menu options need to highlight more visibly as you navigate through them.

Add a one-tap Fixed Speed Camera reporting button
I would like to suggest adding a dedicated "Fixed Speed Camera" button to the Waze reporting menu, alongside the existing "Mobile Camera" option.
Currently, drivers can easily report mobile speed cameras, but reporting a missing permanent speed camera is much more complicated and requires using the Map Editor or submitting a map correction.
I propose adding a simple one-tap reporting option that automatically records the GPS location and direction of travel.
The report could then be reviewed and verified by Waze's map editors before being permanently added to the map.
Benefits:
Easier reporting, especially for drivers travelling alone.
More accurate and up-to-date speed camera information.
Less complicated reporting process.
Benefits the entire Waze community.

Posizione indicatori dei limiti di velocità e della velocità dell'auto
Usando Waze su Android auto, gli indicatori dei limiti di velocità e della velocità dell'auto vengono visualizzati sul lato destro dello schermo e quindi sul lato opposto rispetto alla posizione del guidatore in 2/3 del mondo.
Sarebbe possibile spostarli a sinistra o almeno consentire all'utente di sceglierne la posizione? Quegli indicatori sono sicuramente più utili rispetto, per esempio, al costo dei pedaggi autostradali e, di conseguenza, sarebbe sicuramente più utile e più sicuro poterli consultare con un minore spostamento dello sguardo.

Suggestion: Improve Navigation Features for International Tourists
I think Waze could become even more helpful for international travellers by introducing additional features designed specifically for tourists and visitors.
When people visit a new country, finding airports, hotels, tourist attractions, and reliable transportation routes can sometimes be difficult.
Some useful improvements could include:
Better navigation for international visitors.
Easier access to major airports and hotel locations.
Improved directions to popular tourist destinations.
More helpful navigation around busy city centres.
Better route guidance for visitors unfamiliar with local roads.
This could be particularly useful in Saudi Arabia, where millions of international visitors travel between Jeddah, Makkah, and Madinah.
People travelling for Umrah often need to arrange airport transportation and find reliable routes to their hotels and religious destinations.
For example, Barakah Umrah Taxi Service (https://barakahtaxiservice.com/makkah-to-madinah/) provides transportation information for visitors travelling around these destinations.
Improving navigation for tourists would make Waze more useful for people exploring unfamiliar cities around the world.
What do other users think about this feature?

IOS 27 CarPlay alternative route screen is dangerous
Title: iOS 27 / Apple CarPlay – Alternative routes display has become unsafe and impractical
Since updating to iOS 27, the display of alternative routes in Waze on Apple CarPlay has significantly deteriorated.
Previously, alternative routes were displayed together in a clear, easily readable list. It was possible to compare the different options at a glance.
With the new interface:
- The list is displayed in a much smaller window.
- Only part of the available alternative routes is visible at any one time.
- Users have to scroll manually through the list to see the other options.
- The reduced size of the window makes route comparison unnecessarily difficult.
This is particularly problematic when driving, especially when traffic conditions change and the driver needs to quickly compare alternative routes.
This is not merely a matter of convenience or personal preference. It is a road safety issue. Requiring drivers to scroll through a small window increases the time spent looking away from the road and creates unnecessary distraction.
I use Waze on Apple CarPlay in a Mercedes-Benz GLC 300e. The issue appeared following the iOS 27 update.
My request:
Please restore the previous alternative routes display, with all available routes visible simultaneously in a sufficiently large and readable window, without requiring manual scrolling.
Waze has always been particularly useful because of its ability to provide and compare alternative routes in real time. The new interface significantly undermines this advantage and, more importantly, makes the feature less safe to use while driving.
I hope this feedback will be taken into account by the Waze product team.
Thank you.

Feature Request: Smarter AI-Driven Routing, Predictive Destinations, and Calendar Integration
Feature Request: Smarter AI-Driven Routing, Predictive Destinations, and Calendar Integration
Hi Waze Team,
I am a loyal, daily user of Waze, and I wanted to share some feature requests and product feedback aimed at making the app significantly smarter by leveraging personal behavioral patterns and calendar integration.
Currently, the app relies too much on rigid routines rather than actual context. Here are a few key improvements that would make Waze feel much more intuitive:
1. Context-Aware Work Commutes (Schedule Recognition)The Problem:** Whenever I jump in my vehicle on the weekends, Waze automatically prompts me with a route to work.
The Solution:** The app should recognize actual life patterns and schedules. I only work Monday through Thursday, and I leave at 1:45 PM on those days. Waze should only offer the route to work during those specific days and time windows, keeping weekend navigation clean.- Learned Preferred Routes & Intelligent Detours
The Problem:** Every single day, I take a specific route to work that is not the route Waze typically recommends. I choose this route intentionally, but Waze doesn't seem to learn from my repeated behavior.
The Solution:** Waze should recognize user-preferred routes over time. If a user consistently overrides the app's default suggestion for the same trip day after day, Waze should adopt that as the primary route. Furthermore, if there is a delay or hazard on that specific preferred route, it should intelligently suggest an alternate route relative to my usual path.
- Predictive Weekend Destinations
The Problem:** Weekend travel is treated as a blank slate, offering no smart shortcuts to frequent stops.
The Solution:** Just as it predicts weekday commutes, Waze should analyze weekend driving patterns to recognize recurring stops (e.g., local home improvement stores like Lowe's or Home Depot, or general retail like Walmart). When connecting to the vehicle on a weekend, it should offer a short list of likely destinations based on the day and time.- Calendar Integration for Appointments
The Problem:** Waze doesn't proactively know about off-site appointments unless manually searched and programmed.
The Solution:** Allow Waze to securely link with mobile calendars (such as Google Calendar). If I have an upcoming appointment—such as at the VA Medical Center—Waze should calculate the necessary travel time, pop up a notification when it's time to leave, and automatically load the directions the moment I hook up to the vehicle's audio or CarPlay/Android Auto.Ultimately, the goal is a customized, AI-driven navigation experience that truly understands a user's weekly rhythm, preferences, and schedule to provide the right directions at the exact right moment with zero manual searching.
Thanks for building a great app and for considering these suggestions to make it even better.
Best regards,
Benton Klock

Feature Request – Display Mosques Automatically on Waze Maps
Feature Request – Display all Mosques prayer places Automatically on Waze Maps
Dear Waze Development Team,
I would like to suggest a feature that could greatly benefit Muslim drivers around the world.
Currently, Waze allows users to search for mosques individually. However, it would be extremely helpful to have an optional setting that automatically displays all nearby mosques (Masajid) as visible pins with a recognizable mosque symbol while driving.
Suggested features:
- An optional setting called "Show Mosques on Map."
- Automatically display nearby mosques with a distinct mosque icon.
- Allow drivers to tap a mosque pin to see its name, address, and navigation options.
- Keep mosque pins visible without requiring a new search each time.
- Make the feature available worldwide.
This would be especially helpful for Muslim travelers who need to find a place to perform their daily prayers.
The feature could also be expanded to other places of worship, allowing users to select which categories they wish to display.
Thank you for considering this suggestion. I believe it would make Waze more useful and inclusive for millions of drivers.
Best regards,
Daud M. Abdurrahman

Feature Suggestion — Predictive Traffic & Resilient Navigation
Hello,
I'm a navigation app user from Costa Rica, and I'd like to share an idea that I believe could significantly improve how we navigate traffic, especially in highly congested cities.
What if navigation apps could optimize routes not only based on current and predicted traffic, but also on historical incident patterns and the driver's ability to escape unexpected congestion?
I understand that modern navigation systems already incorporate historical traffic data and predictive algorithms. However, I see an opportunity to take this further.
Here are five capabilities I'd love to see:
Historical Incident Intelligence: Analyze recurring accidents, road closures, and congestion patterns to identify locations and time windows with a higher likelihood of disruption.
Predictive Risk Assessment: Use AI to estimate the probability of traffic disruptions along a route based on historical patterns, current conditions, and the estimated time the driver will reach each road segment.
Route Resilience: Evaluate not only the fastest route but also how many viable alternative roads or exits are available if something unexpected happens.
Personalized Navigation Preferences: Let drivers choose between the fastest route, the most reliable route, or a more flexible route that reduces the risk of becoming trapped in traffic.
Proactive Rerouting: Warn drivers before entering road segments with limited alternatives, allowing them to make better decisions before it's too late.
For example, I might prefer a 35-minute route with multiple escape options over a 30-minute highway route where a single accident could leave me trapped for an hour.
The fastest route isn't always the smartest route.
I believe combining predictive traffic intelligence with route resilience could represent a meaningful evolution in navigation.
This could be particularly valuable in Latin American cities, where congestion is unpredictable and navigation apps are essential to everyday mobility.
I'm sharing this freely as a product suggestion, with no expectation of compensation or ownership. I simply hope it inspires something useful for millions of drivers.
Best regards,
Diego Chan

Improving the accuracy of road visualization in Waze
I don't know why, but when I use Waze and look at its maps, the roads don't seem to be represented accurately.
What I mean is that sometimes there is a sharp bend ahead, but on the map the bend is barely noticeable. On the other hand, Waze sometimes shows a sharp bend on the map, while in reality the road has only a very slight curve.
Is there any way to improve the accuracy of the map representation?1 vote -
Stationary Vehicle on Road
Suggestion: Add a “Stationary Vehicle on the Road” Alert
I regularly encounter vehicles that have broken down or stopped unexpectedly in the middle of the road. These situations can be dangerous, especially when approaching at higher speeds or in poor visibility.
Currently, there doesn’t seem to be an option to report a stationary vehicle blocking or standing on the roadway.
I believe adding a specific alert, such as “Stationary Vehicle on Road”, would be a valuable safety feature. It would allow drivers to warn other road users in advance, giving them more time to slow down, change lanes safely, or avoid a potentially dangerous situation.
I think this would be a useful addition to Waze and could help prevent accidents and improve road safety for everyone.

Problème de timing et de formulation avec l'option "Moins bavard"
Bonjour, j'utilise Waze avec l'option "Moins bavard", mais il y a un réel problème de cohérence avec les indications.
Par exemple, pour un virage, la voix indique directement de tourner sans annoncer la distance, ce qui fait qu'on se trompe de rue lorsqu'une autre petite route se présente juste avant. De même, pour l'arrivée, la voix annonce qu'on est arrivé alors qu'il reste encore quelques mètres à parcourir, ce qui oblige à chercher la bonne adresse partout.
Il faudrait qu'il y ait une vraie cohérence entre la voix et la réalité sur la route (en annonçant par exemple les distances comme « À 200 mètres, tournez à droite » ou en ajustant le signal d'arrivée) pour que cela ne porte plus à confusion.
