Navigation: option to avoid cobblestone, brick streets. This would be very appreciated by car drivers, motorcyclists. Android user.
I hate it when I get navigated down a cobblestone or brick street. You have to crawl along so your teeth don't fall out. I'd rather take a longer route than drive over these streets here in Seattle.

Use accelerometer to detect and report on bumpy roads, and offer option to route around them
Use the device's accelerometer to detect bumpiness in the road the user is currently driving on. Send this data to Waze, then use collective data on road bumpiness to offer a routing option so that users can favor driving on smoother roads. Possibly also tie into the existing systems to report/show potholes or road hazards.

High contrast day & night
I like the night-time, high contrast colors. None of the daytime color settings have enough contrast. How about a "forever night" setting, or a daytime super-high-contrast option?

Disable face proximity sensor.
The face proximity sensor is enabled. Since I place my iPhone in the console of my vehicle, every time I move my hand down to perform an action, the display goes black. I have to gingerly reposition my hand before I can do anything.
I suggest disabling the face proximity sensor while in an operational mode. If necessary, you can enable it right before going to a phone call (if not speakerphone).
iPhone 4, iOS 6.0.1

My Rank and the scoreboard
I'm bummed that you only show the top 50 wazers on the scoreboard. I'm ranked 299 (kinkstone) currently and I want to see the spread of points above and below me.
Please add a pair of options at the top of the list (where you show all v. state and all times v. weekly) where I can choose between "top" or "around me". When showing the scoreboard around me, show the 50 wazers with me centered in the list.
That way I can see the movement and score distribution of people like me.

Add option "district/district name" in the street naming part
When a (bigger) city has several parts/ districts with different names, it could be nice to see at certain level of zoom the district name. When you zoom close enough, you should be aware of the city name already and thus district name would be imho more suitable.

Add intelligence to traffic jam detection
Often users parked will cause a false traffic jam to be reported, yet when stuck in traffic it is usual to be crawling or moving occasionally.
When Waze detects traffic conditions and pops up the question of whether you are in traffic please change the default response dependant on whether the vehicle has been moving or not. If it has been totally stationary please set default response to 'No' as in a total traffic jam the driver will most likely spot the dialogue, only use 'Yes' as the default action when there has been some movement which is much more likely to be traffic conditions.

Delayed reports
While you're driving, you haven't time to report. So it would be great if I can touch the screen to hold the real place where a report have to be placed. So you can complete the report when you stop.

Request for Full BMW iDrive 7 Integration (Cluster + HUD Support via CarPlay & Android Auto)
Hello Waze Team,
I’m writing as a dedicated Waze user and BMW owner who strongly believes that Waze deserves full integration into the driver’s cockpit — not just the center screen.
I currently use Waze on a BMW G20 330i xDrive (2021, iDrive 7) with the latest versions of iOS + CarPlay and Android + Android Auto (tested on both platforms). At this time, navigation only appears on the main display, while the instrument cluster and head-up display (HUD) remain inactive — which limits driver comfort, focus, and overall safety.
I would like to formally request that Waze enable support for showing navigation directions, turn-by-turn prompts, and police/speed-camera alerts directly on the instrument cluster and HUD, similar to how BMW’s native navigation system — and some competitor apps — already do.
This feature would allow drivers to keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel, perfectly aligning with Waze’s mission of safer and smarter driving. Many BMW owners (especially those using iDrive 7 and iDrive 8) are actively asking for this enhancement, and it would represent a significant leap forward for Waze’s ecosystem on both CarPlay and Android Auto.
Please forward this request to your product development or automotive integration team, and kindly let me know if there’s a roadmap or beta program planned for this functionality.
Thank you for taking this seriously. I genuinely hope that Waze will soon provide full HUD and cluster integration for BMW drivers worldwide.
Best regards,
Kiril GeorgievHello Waze Team,

From WME chance to see previous Street View footage
Currently, only the latest Street View shot can be seen from WME.
It would be interesting to add a button that allows you to switch to previous Street View shots (a bit like you can do on Google Maps).
In this case, it would be very useful to see how a street changes, or, for example, if a building is covered by a construction site, it would be possible to go back to previous shots to be able to see the house numbers covered by the construction site.12 votes -
Always choose WME items over Google Map items
A place (area or point or residential) or House number entered into Waze Map Editor should ALWYS be chosen over a Google Maps import in Waze’s Search.
This is very frustrating to users since they are often routed to the wrong location. It is also very frustrating to editors since their work to update the map is ignored.If a person searches 123 Main St, City, State, then their search should show the 123 Main St, City, State (From WME) as the first item and not 123 Main Street, City State from Google Maps. (With 133 Main Street, City, State from WME either down a few spots (with a different distance from your location) or not shown at all.One way could be to have RPPs get a link to google addresses similar to the way a Google Maps place(s) can be linked to Point Places or Area Places.

Pause button
Other people have asked for a pause button. It's annoying and potentially dangerous to fiddle with the app while driving. One button would be helpful.

Display more (limited) house numbers at destination
Short version: When approaching your destination display not only the pin for the address that you're arriving at, but also one, two or three addresses before and after the address. Example: navigating to 122 Main St would show up with the navigation pin, but also show a small number 114 and 118 before, and 126 and 130 after the pin.
When working for a delivery app like Door Dash, Uber Eats, Uber, Lyft, Instacart, Walmart Spark, Amazon Flex, Grub Hub, etcetera you're just trying to get to the location, drop the package, and move on to your next delivery. Often times it's very difficult to see any house numbers on the buildings themselves as much of this happens after dark and people for some reason don't like to turn on their porchlights (reddit is complete with complaints for this on any of the delivery subs). When using the built in GPS for whichever app you're talking about it will typically display not only the various house numbers as you get closer to the destination but also a polygon. I'm sure the polygon would be out of the question, but just having the house numbers displayed for a few before and after the destination would be immensely helpful. Imagine you're waiting for a delivery of food, there's your house and two others on your side of the road, and your driver gets to your house only to stammer for a few minutes not sure which house to deliver to.

speed warning PERMANENTLY
I would like to see the OPTION to enable the acoustic warning chime PERMANENTLY as long as you drive faster than the speed limit.
Currently this warning chime will only appear once, but in my case for me it would be safer and easier to follow the speed limits when this sound would appear as long as you drive too fast. In this case the warning sound would work like the overspeed warning in airplanes, which definitely makes sense.
And because some people could not like this, it should be an aditional option in the settings.Please concider this, as this would definitely not be a major expence in programming and would make Waze also cooler.

Rajouter un type de véhicule camping-car avec possibilité de rentrer les gabarits et vitesses (taille, llongueur largeur hauteur et poids),
Depuis des années que j'utilise Waze pour la voiture (après des Tomtom), je suis ravi. Néanmoins, je navigue régulièrement en camping-car et je suis obligé d'utiliser un GPS concurrent car impossible de rentrer le gabarit et Waze fait passer par routes trop étroites ou hasardeuses pour Camping car (même étant <3.5 T)... Donc est il possible de rajouter un type de véhicule Camping car, avec possibilité de rentrer les caractéristques? Merci
