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.

Introduce a Waze for trucks and caravans
Increasingly people are relying more and more on navigation. The app provides the quickest and most direct routes which is great for normal circumstances. However, trucks, Lorrie’s, large motor homes are not taken into consideration. I live near a golf course where a small road crosses the fairways and we are seeing more and more large vehicles on a road which is totally unsuitable for them and can often get stuck. There needs to be a version which keeps trucks and towing vehicles on appropriate roadways. There are ‘caravan related sat nav’s such as Co pilot and perhaps Waze can develop one too.

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?

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.

Hgv lorrys
I drive a hgv lorry and often satnavs and maps can lead you down a dodgy road with height width restrictions, weight limits. Could Waze have an option for hgv lorrys? Also including speed limits for hgv due to them being different from cars

Route suggestion
Noticed Waze always gives a longer route to destination which is quite silly. I suggest Waze can roll out analysis suggestions on 1)the shortest possible route, 2) the quickest possible route & 3) Waze recommended route instead of the current 3 route suggestions that are very similar.

Tagging my saved places in a map view
Tagging my saved places in a map view in addition to the currently existing list view:
✓ The reserved places are shown in a growing list.
✓ Currently the list is sorted alphabetically and I am obliged to remember what the place is called on the map or what name I gave it.
✓ Suggests giving the option to display them also in map view and to choose.
from her✓ This will streamline finding the saved place you are looking for.
✓ Good luck

Avoir la possibilité de créer plusieurs profiles véhicules et pouvoir les paramétrer avec par exemple les types de routes à eviter et à
Bonjour,
Il serait intéressant de pouvoir avoir la possibilité de créer plusieurs profil de véhicules et de pouvoir les paramétrer chacun différemment (route à éviter et à ne pas emprunter).
Etant automobiliste et motard, je dois à chaque fois, suite au choix de mon véhicule paramétrer les types de routes à éviter et à ne pas prendre.Merci
Cordialement

Add Shortcut to "Vehicle Stopped On Side of Road"
I found a post from 2016 asking for this and it still hasn't been implemented!
There should be a shortcut on the navigation screen to send a "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder" report with a single click.
This is, by far, the most common type of report and it currently requires FIVE button presses - all of them while looking down at the screen. A user-configurable single-click report button would be even better, but a "Vehicle Stopped On Shoulder" button would be a massive improvement to the current 5-clicks.
This has been suggested many, many times over the past many years, but not implemented. Why?
