Disable/option iPhone touch-rotating map
When navigating with my iPhone I usually want to zoom in and out using the pinch movement as most apps use, but half the time trigger the touch to rotate map feature, which I never really need to use.
My suggestion: Disable this (the map will still rotate when you are heading in a certain direction, which is all anyone should need it to do) or at least have an option to turn it off.

Speed limit icon too small
I absolutely love this app—it's my go-to navigation tool, and I wouldn't be taking the time to give this feedback if I didn’t value it so much.
During my first big ride out last weekend, I noticed one significant issue: the speed limit icon(the red circle) is simply too small. I find myself having to shift my focus and move my eyes about six inches from the screen just to read it.
While I understand I shouldn’t rely solely on the app for speed limit confirmation, it’s incredibly useful in a pinch. Ideally, the icon should be about the size of a UK 10 pence piece on a standard phone screen for better visibility.
That’s all! Thanks for your time, and I appreciate your consideration.
Best regards,.

Add stops
Before, it was possible to add multiple stops on Waze, and this is important for me since I work with deliveries. However, after the latest updates, it's only possible to add a single stop. On top of that, instructions like "turn right," "turn left," and "roundabout" are no longer being spoken, which makes using Waze impractical and forces me to rely on Google Maps. Please bring back the feature to add multiple stops because, even on the slowest day, I have seven consecutive deliveries to complete. I live in Brazil, where security is terrible if not nonexistent and having to sit in my car, parked in an unfamiliar area, typing an address is dangerous.

Add full support on HUD displays on cars
When using Waze in my Car via Android Auto, it shows show semi support on the HUD display.
For example, when turning left on roundabout, the arrow and symbol shows straight instead of circle with left arrow surrounding it.
Another support is missing - When driving on road with several lanes and need to stay on right lane or left lane, no lanes appear on HUD, only straight arrow.
Google Maps and Sygic work great with HUD display so it's clearly an issue with Waze.
Please fix.

Transferring routes from Google Maps to Waze
Hi,
Since Waze is now linked to Google Maps, it would be great if I could transfer a planned route from Google Maps with multiple stops to my Waze app.14 votes -
Extreme Temperature Crisis Response
Waze should add Extreme Temperature events to the Crisis Response process. As extreme heat events and extreme cold events become more and more frequent, citizens are going to increasingly need to find and navigate to Cooling Centers and Warming Centers that local governments and emergency planners open when the weather gets too hot or too cold. These types of extreme temperature events often put a big strain on power grids, and when temperatures reach dangerous levels, they need to quickly find shelter from the extreme temperatures. Many people have reliable heating and cooling at home, but unless they have backup generators too, they can fall victim to the weather without a safe shelter to go to.
I propose that Waze add Extreme Temperature Crisis Response as a separate category, as the current crisis response feature is not well suited for extreme temperature events (if we tried using the current feature, it would probably confuse too many Wazers).
Extreme temperature crisis response will require specific messaging; "Need directions to a shelter?" is perhaps too vague during an extreme temperature event, as most people take for granted that they have access to heating or cooling. Instead the push notifications should prompt "Need directions to a cooling center?" when it is very hot and "Need directions to a warming center?" when it is very cold.
A proposed new place category such as "Cooling / Heating Center" could be used when adding these types of emergency shelters to the maps. "Cooling Center" and "Heating Center" could perhaps be used as Alt-Names for the places.
I have set up some example places in the City of Pittsburgh, which are easily found by searching for "Cooling Center". The City of Pittsburgh is opening several cooling centers throughout the city this week as a result of extreme heat expected in the region this week. Any time the forecast temperature exceeds 90 degrees Fahrenheit, the city opens its cooling centers with extended hours.
Extreme heat is the biggest killer in the U.S. and Waze's crisis response functionality can help save lives if changes are made to the feature to specifically address extreme temperature events.

Battery Saver always on
Option to have battery saver always-on by default. It's a poor user experience to have to set this manually for EVERY journey for those that want to have the battery as high as practitable before exiting the car and/or save their OLED screens from burning. Not everyone uses a charger in the car. And most phones use OLED screens.
'Automatically turn on' is there as an option, but it waits for battery to become low before kicking in, which rather defeats the object of saving battery (it's too late if it's already become low!) and meanwile you risk burning the screen too...
I think this idea was rejected earlier, but that was two years ago and the issue persists.

Trucker Version
Develop a trucker setting, or perhaps an entirely separate 'Trucker Waze' app for those of us running larger vehicles. We need to know about low clearance overpasses/bridges, narrow lanes and one lane bridges, weight restrictions, etc. For example, I pull oversized trailers up and down the East Coast (USA). I am 14'6" high, and 10'6" wide. You could even buy Trucker Path and add all the Waze functionality...

Waze on cluster screen over Carplay
Apple Maps and Google Maps are able to display a map on the cluster screen when connected via Apple Carplay.
Can an option be implemented for Waze to do the same thing?

Move street name tags away from the route and the next maneuver arrow
Please display street name tags a bit away from the next maneuver arrow making sure that the arrow itself as well as some nearby streets are clearly visible. In a dense old cities the only way to understand which turn you should take is to compare the map with what you actually see. Don't forget about some GPS lag.

Police Otherside has been eliminated?!
Police Otherside has been eliminated?! Not showing on roads previously used. Police other side is gone from choices. Why? Many municipalities are about revenue and not safety. Artificially low speed limits are cash cows.
