Show next-turn guidance on the instrument cluster in Android Automotive / Google built-in
Waze already displays the navigation map on the driver's instrument cluster in compatible vehicles with Android Automotive / Google built-in, such as the Nissan Qashqai MY2026.
However, unlike Google Maps on exactly the same vehicle, Waze does not display the next-turn information on the instrument cluster. Google Maps shows not only the map, but also useful turn-by-turn information such as the next maneuver arrow, remaining distance to the maneuver, exit number and/or street name.
It would be very useful if Waze could provide the same information on the driver's instrument cluster whenever the vehicle supports it.
For example, while driving with Waze on my Nissan Qashqai MY2026 with Google built-in, I can see the Waze map on the instrument cluster, but I have to look at the central infotainment screen to check the next turn, exit or remaining distance. With Google Maps, this information is displayed directly in front of the driver together with the map.
This would significantly improve the usability of Waze on Android Automotive / Google built-in vehicles and would allow drivers to keep their attention closer to the road.
Ideally, the instrument cluster could display:
Next maneuver / turn arrow
Distance to the next maneuver
Exit number when applicable
Street or road name when applicable
Since Google Maps already provides this information through the same vehicle display, it appears that the instrument cluster is technically capable of showing it.
Please consider adding this functionality to Waze for compatible Android Automotive / Google built-in vehicles.

Save default audio output device
When using WAZE in the car the app connects by default via Bluetooth with the car for the audio output of warnings, but I would like to continue receiving audio from the (iPhone-) speaker. So everytime entering the car I have to manually change the audio-output-options. I would suggest to implement a default (or priority) option, so that WAZE „knows“, whenever I enter the car, NOT to switch to Bluetooth connection, but to remain on (iPhone-) speaker output.

Support CarPlay Dual-Screen/HUD API for Turn Lists and Compass Overlay
As a dedicated Waze user driving with a dual-screen CarPlay setup (an iPhone 12 paired with an aftermarket Vhedia M-Series head unit), I am requesting official support for Apple CarPlay's secondary display and HUD APIs.Currently, when a route is active, my head unit displays the map, while my iPhone screen is restricted to showing a text list of upcoming turns. If I want to mount my phone near my instrument cluster or utilize a projection HUD, Waze provides no option to push a clean HUD layout or split the UI effectively. Furthermore, the newly added compass icon frequently fails to render or remains hidden on the CarPlay UI layer while in "Heading Up" mode.Please update the iOS app code to natively support CarPlay's multi-display protocols. Allowing users to project turn-by-turn graphics to a HUD or keeping vital map tools like the compass persistently visible on CarPlay screens would greatly improve safety and navigation on unfamiliar roads. Thank you!

Subject: Product Feature Suggestion: Dynamic Route Prediction Based on Estimated Time of Arrival at Bottlenecks
Hi Waze Team,
I would like to share a feature suggestion based on a real-world driving experience.
Last week, at around 4:00 PM, I set out on a trip from Joinville to Rio do Sul (Santa Catarina, Brazil). At departure, Waze suggested Route 1 (via BR-101 / Navegantes) as the fastest option. However, the route selection was based on the traffic conditions across the entire path at 4:00 PM.
As a result, by the time I reached the Blumenau area around 6:00 PM, I ran straight into the predictable rush-hour gridlock on the BR-470 highway. Had I taken Route 2 (via Jaraguá do Sul) at 4:00 PM, I would have avoided kilometers of heavy traffic altogether.
My Proposal:
Integrate a predictive AI/Machine Learning model that calculates route efficiency continuously over time. Instead of assessing current traffic along the whole trip at departure, the algorithm should project expected traffic conditions for the exact time the driver is estimated to hit each specific segment (e.g., predicting 6:00 PM traffic in Blumenau for a driver departing Joinville at 4:00 PM).This forward-looking approach would make long-distance routing significantly more accurate and stress-free.
Thank you for your great work on the app!

Real-Time Cyclist and Runner Safety Alerts
I would like to suggest a new Waze safety feature that would allow cyclists and runners who use roads shared with motor vehicles to make their presence visible to nearby drivers in real time.
Cyclists and runners could activate a dedicated “Cyclist” or “Runner” safety mode in the Waze app. While this mode is active, Waze would anonymously share their approximate real-time location with approaching drivers. Drivers could then receive an audio warning such as:
“Caution: cyclist ahead.”
“Caution: runner on the road ahead.”The warning should be given early enough for the driver to slow down and pass safely. The runner or cyclist would not need to interact with the app while moving—the mode could remain active until manually stopped or automatically end when the activity is completed. To protect privacy, their identity and full route would not be displayed.
Real-life example
Almost every morning, while driving to work, I encounter a runner using the same road as cars and trucks. When there are trucks in front of me, they often block my view, and I may only see the runner at the last moment. This creates a dangerous situation for the runner, for me, and for other drivers.If the runner could activate Waze before starting, approaching drivers could receive an early audio warning and have enough time to reduce their speed and leave a safe passing distance.
Benefits
Increased safety for runners, cyclists, and drivers
Earlier warnings in poor visibility, darkness, fog, or heavy traffic
Fewer dangerous last-second reactions
Better awareness on roads without sidewalks or dedicated cycle lanes
Additional protection when large vehicles block a driver’s view
For this feature to work effectively, Waze could also launch an awareness campaign encouraging runners and cyclists to use the safety mode whenever they travel on roads shared with motor vehicles. Partnerships with running clubs, cycling communities, sports events, and road-safety organizations could help promote it.This feature could extend Waze’s community-based safety approach beyond drivers and help protect all road users.

Voice reporting popup
It's fine to have voice reporting as a feature for people who want it or are required by law, but I do not want my device to listen to me constantly. Yet Waze keeps giving me a nearly Fullscreen popup asking to enable it that never goes away unless you hit the 'later' button.
Please make this popup only temporary and add an option to make it permanently go away!

Won’t get rid of Apple Maps because of this issue
I love Waze but the one issue that keeps me from just fully deleting Apple Maps is the inability to search for a location while my phone is Connected to Apple CarPlay and be able to see on the map where the location is. It only gives options by the distance from me. I moved to a big new city and also travel a lot for work and it’s frustrating to not be able to see in which direction say for instance a gas station is from me. Same goes for adding a stop, cant tell if the location is 4 miles in the opposite direction or along the way.

Add a “Crazy Taxi” sidekick voice (like the announcer voice)
I’m surprised nobody else thought of this yet (or if they did it’s too far down, mb 😂) I was thinking it could sound a little like this:
Route start: Hey hey hey, it's time to make some crazy money! Are you ready? Here we go!”
The turns: “Do a crazy drift left/right!”
U turn: “Do a crazy tailspin!”
I thought this would be a cool sidekick to add 😂

Distinguish E85 vs E15 gas station offerings
Summary: Propose addition of E15 fuel, alongside E85 fuel, and additional labelling or coloring to help users differentiate them, in order to prevent confusion and engine damage.
Background:
Waze now allows E85 (AKA FlexFuel, AKA yellow-pump) as a gas preference/filter, however, E15 (AKA 88 octane, 85% gasoline-15% ethanol, blue-pump) is not currently available as a preference/filter.
Unfortunately, since E15 is 85% gasoline, users are erroneously reporting gasoline prices for E15 in the field for E85.
This is confusing at best, harmful at worst. Users whose vehicles are compatible with E15 fuel may become accustomed to seeing "E85" representing E15. When they travel to an unfamiliar area, they may continue using the E85 filter to look for E15 fuel, without realizing that in some areas, E85 truly means the yellow-pump "FlexFuel". Their vehicles may be compatible with the blue-pump E15 fuel, but not the yellow-pump E85.
As a result of the missing E15 filter, it is possible that they erroneously fill their tank with E85 fuel, resulting in engine damage.
This is of increasing importance as gas prices have increased drastically, and E15 and E85 are both cheaper options that users may seek out, putting them at risk for making an expensive mistake which may ultimately also generate bad publicity for Waze.
Proposals:
Add selectable E15 entry field for gas stations, as well as addition of E15 to the list of preferred fuel types and filters.
Label E15 as "E15 (88 octane)" or "E15 (Regular 88)", and rename E85 as "E85 (FlexFuel)"
Add a borders, background color, or text color to differentiate these fields across the board. E15 can be blue, E85 can be yellow.
Consider adding a warning when a user selects E85 or E15 as a preferred fuel type or filter.
