Improve rendering of Livemap
The live map has some rendering issues that make it less attractive.
The first issue is with the dotted lines that appear down the middle of MH and FW segments when the map is zoomed in, as well as the lines of PS segments. These lines display over other map features when they shouldn't, such as when the road is an underpass or it is intersecting with a higher-priority road. (It shouldn't be difficult to change the rendering order of these features.)The second issue is with the way corners on segments are smoothed. 90-degree corners in the middle of…

More Route options and prevent closing mid-ride
Hi there, I have a suggestion. Kindly add more route options, this is especially important in congested cities like Nairobi. It will frequently save time to go around than to to go thru the CBD. Addtionally, using your app on my motorcycle, I had severe issues with the app closing mid-ride resulting in complete confusion where to go. Please sort these out. The app has a lot of potential but is unusable because of this

Remove "car info" auto hide search box and center
I know these been suggested many times and I really wonder who makes the UI/UX decisions here but they clearly don't take any feedback or common sense seriously.
The persistent "car info". Why is it there? Why does it need to be on the map all the time? You think people like to flick through the options whilst driving? What's the point of that in the first place. REMOVE! Please remove
The search box in landscape mode and centered alignment. I see this been mentioned million times over many YEARS. Why won't you make it auto hide after few seconds…

Community-generated driving route recommendations
Is it possible for Waze (though, this definitely needs approval and careful study) to include a feature for the drivers to suggest or make possible route recommendations? Anyway, Waze is community-generated. Google search results are often inaccurate, based on the reports that we have been receiving.
As the driver, always (or often or most of the time) know the possible route or driving direction. And possibly with this, other wazers will be able to contribute to the route. A wazer may suggest a possible route for others to follow.
I just thought of having some sort of 'crowd sourcing' in…

motorcycle display preferences for carplay
I have 5" carplay units on both of my motorcycles. (no this is not a display size issue). My preferred map software in carplay, is Waze, as I want the most crowdsourced information such as cops, traffic, construction, etc. My only problem on the motorcycle with carplay/Waze display is that the map is way too FINE and small print, the speed is too small, and red/black which are fairly impossible to read as they're both dark colors.
My ask, and idea, and suggestion... either basically control over the display SIZE to make the fonts and boldness of the roads and…

When crossing borders the fuel type should update to the localized equivalent of that fuel type.
Waze has different fuel types in different countries. Right now when crossing a border it resets to the default value, usually E10/95 For instance when crossing borders between the Netherlands when fuel type is set to Diesel, it will change to euro95 when crossing the border. When I then search for a gas station it will show me stations with that fuel type.
There should be some sort of conversion table with fuel types from country to country.

Feature Request Feedback
Many of the feature requests have many votes, or multiple postings for the same feature requests. It appears that people really do want some things very much. However, the feature request for some items seems to be un-monitored.
There are a number of issues, which would normally be easily resolved with some minor programming tweaks that never seem to be addressed, either in the responses, or the program revisions.
Example: Favorites sorting - the same general feature request has been posted multiple times with post dates going back to 2010.
It would be helpful to have some feedback to…3 votes -
Current speed yellow when approaching turn too fast
App displays speed colour to yellow on turns.
In Australia we have advice sign posts "yellow triangle" that suggest
a comfortable speed for a corner (on corners that are closer to hair-pin than straight).The route navigation current speed would show white (normal), yellow (over suggested speed) or Red (over legal speed limit)
Some possibilities:
- Waze servers auto assign "suggested speed" value based an approximation of centripetal force that considered angle between two segment "points" and ignores slope.
- Waze editor allows a road to have an assigned "suggested speed" based on road signage suggestions (which take into consideration…5 votes -
Add the ability to enter saved places in the web app. Easier with a real keyboard and monitor, and able to cut and paste as needed.
Add the ability to enter saved places in the web app. Easier with a real keyboard and monitor, and able to cut and paste as needed. Adding places to the list in the app just sucks, especially because it's not intuitive and there's no direct menu, but you sort of have to stumble into it. Frustrating when I need to add several places for a project, and instead of using my primary navigation app, I have to keep a notebook with the addresses on the dash.

School/Teamk/event emoticons. Lost on way to game? See the similarly clad Wazers in team gear!
Say you're traveling down Interstate 75 headed for Floida A&M University in Tallahassee, but you get lost near a well-known shortcut in Tifton, Georgia. Never fear! Your Waze app shows nearby drivers clad in FAMU gear, and they are all headed in the same direction! Follow them, sort of how you might notice groups of FAMU license plates headed in the same direction. But Waze allows you to look for your fellow FAMUans further down the road! This concept could also work for events/conference, etc. Thanks for considering this idea!

A new camera type: Traffic offence cameras
In Hong Kong, we have "traffic offence cameras" (交通違例相機, in Chinese) that capture any cars pursuing an illegal manoeuvre, like crossing double-white lines that shall not be crossed, or unlawfully stopping or parking at no-stopping or no-parking areas.
May I know if Waze could add this type of cameras to the system? I believe these cameras are not exclusive to Hong Kong but present in many territories, including Japan, China, Taiwan and others. The issue currently in Waze is that the types of cameras are too specific, but quite oftenly there is just a camera to capture any sort of…

Amélioration de la vitesse moyenne d'un parcours
Je fais un nouveau trajet qui va de cornebarieu Haute garonne à Labastide clermont Haute garonne.
Je prends l'autoroute et waze me fait sortir à la sortie 27.
Sauf que moi je sort à la sortie 26 parce que pour 3 kilomètres de plus je n'ai aucun stop ni aucun laisser la priorité. C'est beaucoup plus roulant.
DONC, MA SUGGESTION :
Que WAZE prennent en compte les stop et les laissez le passage entre deux trajets en privilégiant le trajet où il y en a le moins.
Compte tenu qu'en prenant la sortie 26, je suis…1 vote -

Have voice use voice
I tried your product on my phone. I expected a voice telling me when to turn, as real applications do that. Instead, it gave me all sorts of useless noises. Why does that matter? I ride a motorcycle and I can't look at the phone while riding.
I've deleted the product from my phone. It's useless without voice direction.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion!
As you may already know, voice directions are available and functional in Waze.
It sounds like you experienced technical difficulties. We would be happy to assist. Please visit our help center – https://support.google.com/waze/ -
How about you pull your heads out of your nether orifices?
I tried your app. Though sound was set, I got no voice when navigating. I tried to post to your forums, and it gave me all sorts of problems with it not recognizing the account I was forced to set up on the phone not being recognized on the web site. I removed the application from my phone.
Typical Israeli lack of focus on UI. Pathetic.

iOS app is slow at routing and finding GPS and excess screen coverage
Dear Waze, why have you designed your app so poorly? Surely you realise your users are typically driving a car when they use your app? What does that mean? Clearly they have more important things to do than wait for your stupidly slow app and deal with excess pop ups. So first issue: why duplicate pop ups when i initiate a destination? I’ve already selected my favourite destination (or from a list) and tapped once to select it. I should be routing already by now. Instead i get another pop up covering the entire screen/map (so I can’t see if…

Roll back android auto update
its broken to the point that its completely unusable in a 10 gen civic.
the resolution seems to be set far too large for the small center console screen. What shows is a button that is far tool to show it appropriately, and the map looks like...well around the edges of the button you can sort of see some map and it seems to zoom really far out (while city driving).
you cant see anything, around whatever button that is, let alone use it for anything.
to make it worse, someone bright idea to make it default to have buttons…

Report menu reorganization and favorites
It currently takes several taps to report things. Example: Report button-> Hazard -> Vehicle on the side of the road (-> submit report). My gut feeling is that is my most commonly used report, and I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case for others also.
Also with any report menu rearrangements/removals it becomes nearly impossible to find ones you use less frequently when you actually need them. Say "animals in the area" for example.
Being able to personalize the report menu order or set some as favorites would fix this problem.
I know voice reporting helps with some…
