Adding the option for a visual timer
It would be so helpful to have an integrated visual timer on the map. My child has a disability and visuals are so important to our daily life. I find myself toggling back and forth when using navigation and it can be difficult to manually adjust the time when there’s traffic or other delays. Having an integrated visual timer would be so helpful to families like ours!

Add a penalty to PR crossing an LS+ junction
Suggest adding a penalty to all PR segments that junction with an LS+ segment for continuation. That is, do not continue on to another PR segment unless necessary.
This would be helpful for alleyways in cities to force the user to an LS+ segment instead of continuing alleyway to alleyway.
Also useful for local-access only situations were we want to force a user off the PR segments ASAP. I can't think of any situations where this would be an issue as if the destination is on a subsequent PR segment, that would rule.

Revert interface/design
This new app design/user interface is horrendous. The old version from a few days ago was much better. Now it’s impossible to find the “Planned Trips” option, which is in a separate bar from the search button. They should not be separate, and it should be easier to access Planned Trips, rather than having to go to upper left area for what essentially is a settings button. At least, there should be a option for individuals to revert to the old interface, like other apps, and websites do for people who do not like the new designs.

ETA Box should never be hidden.

Full screen speedometer option on phone
It would be nice to have the option to have a full screen speedometer with speed limits. Motorcycle speedometers can be 10% off, so most of the time I use Waze as a speedometer (with a map), it would be nice if I could tap the speedometer and make it go to full screen big speedometer display, then tap again to return to the map if I need it.
I've tried other GPS just speedometer, but then I lose Waze (And those aren't very accurate like your speedometer is).

Share a Drive
Bring back to original ‘share a drive’!! This sending a text message is annoying & takes slightly longer. Not having ‘friends’ in Waze is annoying as well. Why did you get rid of these options?

Tapping on a specific position on the map should bring up a menu just like in the phone app.
When holding your finger on a position on the map, a menu should be brought up permitting you to save the address, or go to it. This is too practical to be ignored as a functionality..

Flock camera system license plate reader locations
Allow users to map locations of police automatic license plate readers and select routes that avoids them.
The Flock automatic license plate readers are now in over 2500 cities in the United States and track 1 billion vehicles per month per their website. They are able to detect the color of your car, wether or not part of your plate is obscured, if the registered owner has a valid drivers license, is a gang member, known drug smuggler, has an active warrant and other such information. Flock sells these to home owners association's and other private entities besides law enforcement. When attached with their Raven gun shot detection system it also is able to identify gunshot locations, broken glass and tires screeching. Our right to privacy is being destroyed. If off the grid individuals wish to not be recorded, they should have the ability to transit around these camera systems.

Following the update of my Apple phone 12 Pr Max to IOS 16, currently 16.1 there is considerable battery drain and overheating of the phone
Eversince I updated my iphone 12 pro max to IOS is whenever I use Apple Carplay and especially WAZE the phone overheats significantly in a very short timespan and also the battery drops dramatically in no time.
Is Waze aware of this problem ? Are they doing something to fix it.
The same issue does not occur when I use other navigation software’s in Apple Carplay.Please fix it as I can not continue using Waze with such dramatic battery use and overheating of the phone!

Automatically route
Automatically route address based on voice input like Google maps.
I am tired of saying navigating to a particular address and then Waze forces me to select and confirm after clearly specifying where I would like to go.
Can you please make it like Google Maps where you say it once and it takes you there.

Speeding
Please add an option (for users who choose to turn it on) to have Waze make a loud annoying sound continuously for as long as we are over our selected speeding threshold. A single alert tone that sounds like every other alert tone is not enough for me and my lead foot. I need to be punished.

Colour rings around reports
Have colour rings around reported Hazzards on a timer. Eg it's red when first reported and stays red when the report "still there" button is pressed by re setting a timer. The ring turns blue after a set time until or unless the "not there" button is pressed and the report has been removed. This will let drivers know if the report is current and up to date or if it's an old report and has been ignored and not removed.

Finger hold for icon placement
When placing a hazard or police location on the map, currently you have to tap on the screen to bring up the choices, tap for police, tap again for their location and then tap again to place it on the map. Why not after the first tap, if you keep your finger on the screen, automatically show the options, slide your finger to the one you want, and then once your finger is released, the icon drops straight into the map.
Simple and less steps to get the right icon on the map and also lessens the time concentrating on your phone rather than the road.When placing a hazard or police location on the map, currently you have to tap on the screen to bring up the choices, tap for police, tap again for their location and then tap again to place it on the map.

Have a policy against hate-speech on editor community discord
A number of Northeast Editors including leadership have the caption "Let's Go Brandon" as their Discord status. The Waze community is not the place for these extremists who would use the platform to spew vile comments about the President of the United States. It should be a place where all are made to feel welcome. These individuals should certainly not have community leadership roles.

Pinch to zoom on CarPlay
I just switched from android phone from android auto to an iPhone CarPlay. The pinch to zoom option is available on Android Auto, and I was surprised that the CarPlay Waze for iPhone can’t do this. I would love the pitch to zoom option for Waze on CarPlay.
The option that is available is very distracting and cumbersome when using the plus and minus buttons on the Waze app.Please make the pinch zoom available on CarPlay for Waze and quickly for the safety of your users.
Thank you16 votes -

Separate the ability to show the posted speed limit from the speedometer.
Currently, the only way to see the posted speed limit, is to toggle on the speedometer. I’m a truck owner that keeps the speedometer toggled off, as the speed that is on my screen is 12 mph faster than I am actually driving. I don’t have the option to see the posted speed limit, because it is grayed out, unless you are “using” the speedometer.
