שלום רב,
אני משתמש עיוור הנעזר באופן קבוע באפליקציית Waze לצורך ניווט ותכנון נסיעות. אני משתמש במכשיר Android ובקורא המסך TalkBack.לצערי, קיימות כיום מספר בעיות נגישות באפליקציה שמקשות מאוד על השימוש בה באמצעות TalkBack, ואשמח אם תוכלו לטפל בהן בעדכונים
הקרובים.ראשית, כאשר אני נכנס לאפליקציה, אזורים רבים בממשק אינם נגישים בצורה מלאה לקורא המסך. הדבר מורגש במיוחד במפה ובמידע על מקומות הנמצאים בסביבה. כמשתמש עיוור, חשוב לי מאוד להיות מסוגל לעבור באמצעות TalkBack בין מקומות הנמצאים בקרבתי, לשמוע את שמותיהם ולקבל עליהם מידע, אך כיום חלק גדול מהמידע הזה אינו נגיש.
בנוסף, קיימת בעיה בחוסר אחידות בשפה. למרות שהאפליקציה מוגדרת לעברית, חלק מהתפריטים והאפשרויות מוצגים או מוקראים באנגלית וחלקם בעברית.
לשם השוואה, בגרסת Waze במכשירי iPhone חוויית הנגישות טובה יותר בנושאים אלה: התפריטים זמינים בעברית בצורה מלאה יותר, וגם המידע על מקומות בקרבת המשתמש נגיש יותר באמצעות קורא המסך V
oiceOver.Waze היא אפליקציה חשובה ושימושית מאוד גם עבור אנשים עיוורים. אודה לכם מאוד אם תוכלו לשפר את התמיכה ב-TalkBack ובשפה העברית, ולהנגיש את המפה, המקומות בסביבה ושאר רכיבי הממשק כך שמשתמשים עיוורים יוכלו לקבל מידע על סביבתם ולתכנן מסלולי נסיעה באופן עצמאי, נוח ושוויוני.
תודה רבה על ההתייחסות ועל המשך העבודה לשיפור הנגישות של Waze.

City/town names should be in the map, maybe in a different color, all caps and a larger font
It would be extremely helpful if makes of cities and towns were displayed, but it needs to be obvious that's what they are. This is why I suggested all caps, different color maybe an asterisk at the front and back of the name also.

Font size should increase when you zoom in
When I zoom in, the font size of all the streets stays small. I think it should increase when zooming because that's part of the reason I zoom, to get the street name. Please, I'm begging

Backup and Restore Destinations
Hi i would like to suggest a backup and restore function in case a emergency reset situation is needed that would normally wipe all earlier routes. And you only see favorite destinations .
My suggestion is a way to backup and restore your route info and favorites so you will always have all former destinations you have been to in the past

Floating dashboard
I tried sygic navigation for a little bit and I overall didn't like it especially because it was paid. But one thing I absolutely loved was on android auto and on phone it had little floating dashboard that showed road, city, state, and elevation. I want this feature because some roads are hard to read on the map.

Feature request: EV-aware routing using bus lanes (Estonian use case).
In Estonia, electric vehicles are legally permitted to use public transport lanes. However, Waze currently appears to calculate routes and ETAs without taking this EV-specific access privilege into account.
This can result not only in inaccurate ETAs, but also in Waze selecting a suboptimal route for an EV.
A real example from my daily commute in Tallinn:
I often have two main route options to my workplace — Paldiski maantee and Tammsaare tee. Both are major arterial roads, but Paldiski maantee has public transport lanes, while Tammsaare tee does not.
For a conventional car, current traffic conditions may make Tammsaare tee appear faster. For an EV driver, however, Paldiski maantee can be significantly faster because an EV can legally use the public transport lane and bypass much of the congestion.
On a recent commute, Waze predicted my arrival at 8:58, while I actually arrived at 8:53. The approximately five-minute difference was largely caused by the advantage of using the public transport lane, which did not appear to be reflected in Waze’s ETA.
Suggested functionality
When a user has selected an electric vehicle in their vehicle profile, Waze should take locally applicable EV road-access privileges into account when:
- selecting the fastest route;
- calculating the ETA;
- comparing alternative routes.
In Estonia, this would mean allowing eligible EV routes to use public transport lanes and calculating their travel times accordingly.
More broadly, this could become a vehicle-aware routing functionality:
Vehicle type + local road-access rules + real-time traffic = the fastest legal route for that specific vehicle.
Waze already allows users to specify that they drive an EV, so extending this information to routing and local road-access privileges could make route selection and ETA calculations considerably more accurate for EV drivers.
This would be particularly valuable in cities such as Tallinn, where access to public transport lanes can materially change both the fastest route and actual journey time during peak-hour traffic.

Option to minimize or hide the turn instruction banner in Apple CarPlay
Hello,
Please add an option to minimize or hide the large black turn instruction banner in Apple CarPlay.
I use Waze on a 6.25-inch Carpuride W602S Pro motorcycle display. The banner showing the next turn and distance takes up a large part of the screen and hides useful map information. On a motorcycle, having a clear view of the map is especially important for safety.
It would be very helpful to have three display options:
- Full banner
- Compact banner
- Hidden banner, with voice instructions only
Thank you.

Add Parking Payment Stations with In-App Scanning and Accessibility Filters
I would like to propose a comprehensive feature for drivers visiting new or large shopping malls, airports, or commercial centers: the ability to log, find, and pay at Parking Payment Stations / Kiosks (Cajeros de pago de estacionamiento).When visiting an unfamiliar place, finding where to pay for the parking ticket before returning to your car can be frustrating and time-consuming. This feature would extend Waze's mission of reducing stress for drivers, from the road all the way to the mall exit.🛠️ How It Could Work:Community Sourced (Waze Places): Allow users to report "Payment Station" as a specific sub-category or icon under Parking/Services when using the "Place" report tool. Drivers can take a photo and pin the exact location (e.g., "Basement 1 - Near North Elevators").Under the "Find Parking" Feature: When a user arrives at a mall and selects a parking lot, Waze could display a sub-category showing verified payment spots within that structure.Walking Navigation: Once the user opens the app to return to their car, they can quickly search "Pay Station" and get a precise walking pin to the nearest machine.🚀 Premium & Complementary Features:In-App Ticket Scanning & Digital Payment: To eliminate the need for physical cash machines entirely, Waze could allow users to scan the barcode or QR code of their parking ticket using the phone’s camera. Through strategic partnerships with participating shopping malls that accept this system, and integrations with Apple Pay, Google Wallet, or credit cards, drivers could pay their parking fee directly inside Waze before walking back to their car.Accessibility Filters for Payment Stations: Shopping malls can be massive and hard to navigate. Waze should include accessibility tags for payment kiosks (e.g., wheelchair-accessible paths, step-free access, or elevator-proximate locations). This ensures that users with disabilities or families with strollers can find the most accessible route to pay and return to their vehicle.

Sugestão de melhora
lá, equipe do Waze!
Gostaria de sugerir uma melhoria nas configurações de notificações dentro do perímetro urbano. Atualmente, as notificações são enviadas em um raio que pode ser excessivo para áreas mais densas.
Seria muito útil se pudéssemos ajustar esse raio para opções mais curtas, ao invés de 1500 metros e800 metros
Para no máximo 500 metros ou 200 metros (ideal)Essas opções permitiriam uma experiência mais personalizada e relevante, especialmente em áreas urbanas onde o tráfego e as condições podem mudar rapidamente. Acredito que essa mudança beneficiaria muitos usuários que buscam informações mais precisas e contextualizadas.
Agradeço pela atenção e pela constante melhoria do Waze!

Sugestão de melhorias
Olá, equipe do Waze,
Gostaria de sugerir uma melhoria no aplicativo. Atualmente, os avisos de conversão à esquerda e à direita começam a 1500 m de distância, o que pode ser confuso, especialmente em áreas urbanas.
Seria muito útil se houvesse uma opção nas configurações para ajustar a distância dos alertas de navegação, permitindo que os usuários personalizem essa configuração de acordo com suas preferências. Isso ajudaria a tornar a experiência de navegação mais fluida e menos intrusiva.
Agradeço pela atenção e continuo apreciando o excelente trabalho que vocês fazem!
Atenciosamente,
Paulo

Operational Improvement Suggestions for Waze Navigation Platform
To whom it may concern,
I have been working in transportation in New York City since 1987, with extensive knowledge of all five boroughs and their surrounding areas. After recently returning to professional driving, I have observed several operational issues within the Waze application that could be significantly improved. Based on decades of real‑world experience—from the era of paper maps, common‑sense routing, and practical orientation—I am submitting the following technical suggestions.
Speed‑History Capture When Passing Traffic Enforcement Cameras
The camera‑alert feature is currently the most consistently useful function for professional drivers. I propose an enhancement that would greatly benefit users and could justify a premium subscription tier: When a vehicle passes a traffic enforcement camera, Waze should automatically record the vehicle’s speed, precise location, date, time, and camera type. This would create a verifiable speed‑history log that drivers could use to dispute incorrect or questionable violations.Professional Profile & Experience‑Based Routing Algorithm
Waze should allow users to optionally identify their profession or level of local driving experience. This would enable the system to learn from high‑experience drivers, improve routing logic based on real‑world knowledge, and prioritize routes commonly used by professionals who understand local traffic patterns.Randomized Companion Voice Mode
Passengers often become bored or annoyed by repetitive navigation voices. A “Random Companion Voice” mode would rotate voices automatically, providing a more pleasant and engaging experience for both drivers and passengers.Multi‑Device Simultaneous Use
Professional drivers frequently operate multiple devices at once. Waze should allow simultaneous operation across several devices without forcing one device to override or link to another.“Preferred” Routing Mode Instead of Only “Avoid”
The current routing options—Avoid Highways, Avoid Tolls, Avoid Ferries—are too rigid. A flexible “Preferred/Neutral/Not Preferred” system would allow Waze to weigh user preferences without forcing extreme routing behavior. For trips over four miles, Waze should avoid sending drivers onto a highway unless the entrance is near the origin and the next exit aligns with the destination. Additionally, routing should distribute traffic more dynamically instead of funneling all drivers into the same congested corridor.Critical Voice‑Guidance Errors in Lane Instructions and Exits
Waze frequently instructs drivers to “keep left” repeatedly and then, within a few feet, suddenly instructs “exit right.” This is physically impossible and extremely dangerous. Lane guidance should use accurate and realistic instructions such as “stay in the center lane,” “stay near the right,” or “stay near the left.”Correct Use of “Entrance” vs. “Exit”
Waze often uses the word “exit” when drivers are actually entering a highway. This is incorrect and misleading. The correct terminology is:
Entrance when entering a highway
Exit when leaving a highway
This correction is especially important on Grand Central Parkway eastbound approaching Jackie Robinson Parkway, Van Wyck Expressway, Main Street, and Union Turnpike.
- Routing Example Demonstrating Current Failures During a recent trip from East w168th Street in Manhattan to 680 Barbey Street Brookklyn, Waze suggested an unnecessarily long route via the Triboro Bridge, Grand Central Parkway, Van Wyck Expressway, the Pennsylvania Avenue exit, and Bay Parkway. The optimal route is significantly shorter and safer: FDR South → 59th Street Bridge → Queens Boulevard → Maspeth → Fresh Pond Road → Cypress Hills → Highland Park → Barbey Street. Waze should avoid forcing long highway loops when local streets provide a superior path.
Conclusion
These suggestions are based on decades of professional transportation experience in New York City. Implementing them would significantly enhance Waze’s reliability, routing accuracy, and overall safety for both drivers and passengers.Thank you for your consideration.
