Add a new watch beside iPhone’s one with arrival time
My suggestion is to add another watch showing the arrival time beside iPhone’s time.
Once Waze is running an the screen get lock, the time is shown with a blue background.
It would be very nice to be able to see actual time and destination estimated arrival time with both clocks on the same home screen and not being inside the app.3 votes -
Sound Alert in LOCKED phone
I think Waze could enable an option to be able to keep warning (Radar, Hazards, Accident, Police, Heavy Traffic, etc) even when phone is LOCKED. When I lock my Android 4.3.1 it doesn't alert anything.
6 votesGreat news! This is now available in Waze for Android OS. Install the latest app version to check it out.

The startup / home / first screen should be a screen with favorite / recent destinations instead of the map
Each time I open Waze, it is to navigate to a destination.
So the startup / home / first screen should be a screen with destination instead of the map.2 votes -
Flash directions section of the screen when approaching turn
When approaching a turn flash the directions section of the screen a few times. This allows for users that use waze with the volume down but can still alert them to an approaching turn by getting their attention.

Move the Enter Destination to the main screen
Currently you must click on the bottom left which opens a separate screen to enter destination. Entering the destination is THE most frequently used function and shouldn't have to be on Page 2 rather ON page 1. I therefore suggest that the bottom center if the first page should be where the user can type his address.

Remove "Set Address" screen when selecting a Calendar event
This is a redundant screen and should just go directly to the search results if an address is unknown or directly to the Nav screen. Older versions of Waze did this and this new way just introduces delays in navigation

Leave time on Home Screen
Whenever you plan a drive, always display the time to leave for the next planned drive(s) on the landing screen of waze. This already exists but the frequency of it being displayed on the Home Screen of the app seems random. Please consider having the leave time at a glance on the home screen whenever a drive is planned or allowing the user to toggle the box for always on, recommended on, or off. Thanks!

Move vehicle back to the bottom center of the screen in landscape mode
I use an iPad mini in the dash of my car and the arrow representing the car and the highlighted route is on right 1/3 of the screen which cuts off the right side of the map. I like to see the streets to see if there is a better route in certain situations.
Having an option to have the arrow on the bottom center or bottom right/left would be a good compromise.

customize Shortcut buttons on map screen
I think its better let users to add 3 shortcut buttons(floating or fix) to map screen like ( vehicle stoped, police or anything which user decide) then user can report by one click ,its fast and safe
It help to make fast reports , current situation is user have to make 2/ 3 steps to make report, on busy roads its very useful.8 votes -
choose navigation type on navigation screen and on route picker
To switch between Shortest or Fastest you have to go into settings->navigation->type and choose shortest or fastest. I often switch between these modes when picking my route so it would make sense to have that option available in the same screen as where the routes are chosen AND on the "navigate to" screen.

screen rotation
Screen rotation. I use Waze on android, and I don't have a phone holder in many of the vehicles I drive for work, so I invert my phone (because the charging cable is plugged in) and put it in the cup holder. The map does not re-orient with the phone rotation, so the map and everything on it is upside down. It's been like this for a long time and I'm kinda getting used to it, but it would be nice to not perform mental gymnastics to figure out what I need to do while I'm also supposed to be…

Add the ability to change map screen to iphone when using Carplay
Add the ability to change the map screen to the iphone when using Carplay. In some cases, depending on the vehicle design, the dash is not right in front of the driver (2007 Toyota Tundra). It would be beneficial to be able to flip the Waze screens (map on iphone and directions on the dashboard screen). (Keywords: Flip Screen, Change Screen)

Allow push notifications for hazards or police. I tend to lock my phone by habit and I don't find out about them until it's too late.

Show the type of place category on the place information screen
Currently Wae does not show the name/type of category a place belongs to when viewing the information screen. This should be included e.g Movie theater, Restaurant etc

Option to have the "menu" and "report" buttons to be invisible so as not to have a burn in ghost image of the buttons on screen.
The screen is usually ON through out the duration of driving. The MENU and REPORT buttons have a high likelihood to be "burned in" screen, creating a "permanent" ghost image.
Having the option to replace it with invisible hotspots (frequent users will know where to touch anyway) will minimize this because of moving images.
AMOLED screens are fairly prone to "burn in"

PLEASE make my position on the map “centered” on my iPad screen in landscape mode!
While using the app in landscape mode my position on the map is always on the bottom right of the screen and not in the bottom “center” of the screen. I really love this app and all of its features, but I just can’t learn to live with it this way! It’s driving me insane to the point that I don’t even want to use the app at all and have been searching for other nav apps. I really want to use Waze but I just can’t stand the position being off centered the way it is. I just…
