Finer control of what hazards display on the map.
This request seeks to add a finer control of which type of things appear on the map. I don't need to see construction crews, or weather hazards, or missing signs. I only need to see road debris, stopped vehicles, roadside assistance requests, and police. But currently, the options don't give you the choice of specific things you would like to see.
What I'm proposing is to break out the current "Hazards" category under Display & Map / Details on Map into each of the hazard categories available, so that users can select or deselect the hazards they care about seeing…

Fix the speed display
I rely on the speed limit and vehicle speed showing up on the screen (I use Apple Play in my vehicles). However, recently, it is not showing, although the setting is still set to display it.

When I connect my phone to Android Auto, do not force me to display Waze on my car's infotainment screen
Version 4.93.5.11 for Android forces me to display Waze on my car's infotainment screen. When I connect my phone to my car, I prefer to display Google Maps on the infotainment screen (via Android Auto) and display Waze on my phone's screen. That way, Waze provides me to with look-ahead traffic alerts, but Google Maps is available for navigation, adding side trips, etc.
However, with this latest version of Waze, once I connect my phone, Waze displays on the phone's screen a message directing me to my car's infotainment screen and Android Auto.
I can still run Google Maps…

Route options display
Would prefer the option of alternative routes to be displayed after selected routes as previous, the current version only reflected prior to a route being selected and no changes of routes could be made after that, unless to stop the navigation and re-route

Setting for driver seat location and map display / layout
In Navigation mode, depending on which side (Left/Right) the driver seat location is, display the driving Directions on the corresponding side of the screen.
Note: also, using Android Auto Right seat location setting has no effect on Waze's display, the navi turn information
card remaining on the left side.

Display EV charger availability and location when using Carplay
Current behavior:
When you search an EV Charger in Waze Carplay, it displays a list of EV Charger without the location on the map. Also the charger availability is not displayed. This makes it almost impossible to pick up a convenient EV Charger.Enhancement request: when searching for an EV charger
- display a list of EV Charger with a number
- display the same number on the map (so we know the location of each EV charger). is it on our way? is it ahead of us? is it behind?
- display the availability of the charger…2 votes -
How about moving the "add friends" icon so that it doesn't cover the speedometer display?
Either move the add friends icon to another part of the display, or make it an option to shut it off. Covering the speedometer makes it totally useless.

Display time stamp for waze recorded traffic.
It would be nice to see how long ago waze recorded the traffic(speed of a user). Waze tried to reroute me because it said there was traffic ahead, but I continued and where it showed red on the map, there was no traffic at all.

Waze car icon display fix
When using Waze with iPhone 14 PRO on Sync 4A in 2023 Ford Edge and a route is selected, the car icon is cut off on the bottom of the screen when using AppleCarplay wireless and the Sync screen is set to the large display. Please have it shift a little more upward as to not cut off part off the icon showing where your vehicle is on the road.

Display on 2024 Chevy Equinox EV Discolored
Colors of the app are improperly displaying on Google Automotive (2024 Equinox EV). All other apps are working normally but Waze is having a sepia-like display, without blues and greens, and only looks normal when you switch away to another app for a very brief second.

Enhance Waze on CarPlay’s Instrument Display
Thank you for adding Waze to the instrument cluster on CarPlay - it’s a huge improvement! However, the current implementation could be refined for better usability.
• The resolution is too low, making the map appear overly zoomed in with limited visibility of the road ahead.
• Key details, such as potholes and hazards, are missing.
• A higher-resolution option with a more zoomed-out view would greatly improve navigation.
• Adding a 3D perspective or allowing users to customise the zoom level would make it even more useful.Having Waze on the cluster display is fantastic for quick glances, but…

Display addresses (street + house number) according to regional settings
The app assumes wrongly all countries display addresses like Americans do, like first the house number and then the street number, but in fact most Western countries use it the other way around:
Street name + house number
It seems Waze is American-centred as there is strangely enough after all these years no option to simply adhere to the local customs a country has.

Display bridges on top instead of higher road type
Currently in the app if a bridge goes over a higher road type, it makes it seem the higher road type actually goes over the bridge. This should not be correct as it makes the map look incorrect. A segment that has been mapped as a higher elevation should be displayed above any other segment.
Example for this interchange:
Instead of this: https://i.imgur.com/WhRYooz.jpg
It should look like this: https://i.imgur.com/Gf6BI31.jpg18 votes -
Display time of initial recording
How about you add in the settings Enable/Disable "Spotted Time". That way someone could see and evaluate how long these new camera vans park there for. It would display the time the first wazer reported it. And should be disabled by Default.

Display current location GPS Coordinates and share them with friends
when it comes to navigation gps coordinates play an important role as it pin points the location you want other's to know if all else fails, like street names and landmark. Everything will change but not gps coordinates
