"Closure" function in iOS app=broken. Engaging CLOSURE displays area map with white arrows that mostly can not be selected.
Selecting CLOSURE from UI on iOS results in a local map. This shows White Arrows and red "-" icons. Unfortunately, often, the user can NOT select on the white arrows to flag the road closure, And the UI is displaying selection of a white arrow when another, not related, white arrow is clicked on. The way it is working now the app CLOSURE function is literally not usable.. It would be very helpful if the APP were smart enough to automatically select a intersection closure based on the information that the suggested and running route was not followed and now the vehicle is following an alternative route. Ex: the selected route say turn right on an intersection but now the vehicle has passed that intersection and is going down another course, that the previously suggested route be selected in the CLOSURE display so user can just verify that, OR they select another CLOSURE white arrow.

App development / upgrade to display larger MPH on cellphone while using Carplay or Android Auto
Can Waze find a way to display the speed limit in large font on the cell phone in conjuntion with and while using Apple Carplay. Today when I open The Waze app on my cellphone while using Car play I get the turn by turn directions listed out. My idea would be an option to switch that to a larger MPH display/displays on the cellphone which would be easier to see that the smaller MPH that is on the map. Just a thought but I think you guys can do it.

Tap map for more acurate alerts
Sometimes i go to make a report and im ofline, or i was just turning off the highway but could see a coo taking radar ahead of me, so it be nice to be able to touch map then hit alert button for more acurate alerts, but also keep it like it is now where you can just hit alert and it will make the alert where you are, have this as a second option for whatever reason , atleast allow a certain radius so you cant just make alerts up anywhere on the map

Make camera/police notification distance speed dependent
In low speed zones, there will be a notification for a camera coming up in 600 meters. That's way too far: at 50kph, I'll have forgotten about it by the time I get there.
The other way around, 600 meters might be too short on a highway, at high speed (especially if the camera/speedtrap is reported slightly ahead of where it actually is)

Waze Upgrade
Dear Waze Company,
I am writing to you to propose the potential upgrade of Waze.
The upgrade I am proposing is that each user has an emoticon or icon (emoticons, random small photos, or photos of the users and the car and number plate).
The upgrade involves enabling interaction between users by touching the icon of the user on the screen, and then communicating freely by using a drop down menu allowing messaging or choosing from a menu of interactions such as emoticons or speech.
User Upgrade:
Face photo
Name
Gender
Number plate
Picture
EmoticonWaze already has emoticons as a user, and uber uses car and number plate, car picture, number plate and photo. It seems that combining these already existing features into an upgrade for Waze could enhance its evolution.
I am hoping this idea is useful to you.
Thanks

Route planning for group pleasure drives
I have been using waze for a long time now but recently had to install G maps for a planned group drive round the Peak District. Lucky I had my hand held radio as maps was totally useless, but does let a multi stop planned route be shared with everyone, even if I found it unusable.
Can waze please add this feature so the drivers who drive for the fun and enjoyment with others can do so simply and easily? Preferred route selection stop to stop that's entered by the creator and fixed for client?
Could even add the other GPS locations of the users on the shared route like life 360, just with the best nav system available built in.
Understand this could be a lot of work but I'm sure adding a feature like this would increase user numbers hugely as they would need to install it, finding how brilliant it is would never go back.
Thanks

General feedback/comments
I have a 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia. I use either Waze or Maps every time I drive. For most of my driving, I don't need any nav assist but I want to stay up to date.
So, for about 6 years, I have been using your app. Here's a brief summary of my comments/suggestions/etc. I do NOT expect anything to change since my Alfa is a non-touchscreen setup. I have to do everything with the rotary knob.
Years ago, you did properly support the capability to make reports. I could do it easily with minimal clicks, without even looking at the main display. Today, it's close to impossible to easily report anything. The default cursor position is now on Search instead of Report. It's several rotates to get to the Report choice so I don't bother. BTW, this is not a new problem. It has been this way for at least a year.
If you ask if a Report is still there or not there, it's no longer a simple single cw or ccw rotation to go from There to Not There, so I no longer report. Again, this has been a problem for at least a year.
The one-mile count down in tenth's of a mile on the driver/steering wheel display doesn't count down in tenth's. It just displays ZERO miles for the full last mile. To see the tenths countdown, I have to look at th main display. This has been a problem for at least two years.
Related to that, I recently discovered that the mileage to go countdown between the two displays is off by one mile. In other words, when the driver display says 1 mile to go, the main display says 2. This is probably just the fact that the tenths countdown is not working.
As you probably know, the voice maneuvers were incomplete for several years. In other words, the voice maneuver would only state the distance to go but NOT the actual maneuver. It only completed the sentence when it was the actual maneuver. Thanks for finally fixing that!
Suggestion - You should provide more time when announcing maneuvers. They are too tight. There usually isn't enough time to make lane corrections if needed. The best way to understand what I'm talking about, try running google Maps and Waze at the same time. Maps provides enough time to make fixes. Maybe you could add the option for the user to change the time between navigation maneuvers ant the notification.
Your maps are superior to Maps when using for overview but Maps has superior voice nav to the point that you don't have to look at the display to know what to do. It's too bad that Waze and Maps couldn't be combined in some way that users could use your maps and google's voice nav.
The display on the Alfa Romeo is small. The police icon as an example, is about 1/8 inch in diameter. Some time ago you enlarged the overlay data that it covers a high percentage of the display. It would be nice if you could allow user to change the size of the overlay info and/or make the now black background thanslucent.
That all said, I don't expect you to do a thing. Most of what I'm talking about has to do with the fact that I have a non-touch display. Since most displays today are touch, I understand why you wouldn't waste resources making fixes for non-touchscreen navigators. And that's why I haven't taken the time to let you know...until now.

My first suggestion is that there should be an easier way to contact you. Second issue, several days ago I mistakenly reported "no road."
My first suggestion is that there should be an easier way to contact you. Second issue, several days ago I mistakenly reported "no road." There was no way to cancel the report. I have since received two emails requesting more information but none of the links work for me. Please pass on to the appropriate party that my report was a mistake and consider adding a cancel button/icon. I'm sure many people inadvertently make an incorrect report that they wish they could take back. Thank you.

Keep turn alerts on the screen!
In the past if I had to turn off the main road to the left in 10 Km - I would have a left arrow on the screen showing 10 Km with the number decreasing as I approach the turn.
For the past couple of years you've changed things around that on every approaching junction the left arrow turns to a straight arrow - making me fully confused as to how far my turn is.
As a result of this change I have already missed many turns that I should have taken, because I was not properly prepared ahead of time to move to the left lane, or know how far the correct turn is.
This is very frustrating and annoying. I really don't understand why I need to be alerted when to continue straight when I should constantly be shown when my turn is.Please bring back the old way of navigation!

Reports' Favorites
I want to tap one less time. Most of my reports are the same - traffic, cars on shoulders, and police. Instead of tapping one time to hit the reports, the second time to pick a category, and a third time to report on what I want, I want one time to hit the reports and second time to touch the favorite report.
I just noticed the phone's app allows for long press to do these three things, but I use CarPlay, and still, I don't want to long press, I just want taps.1 vote -
