UX change to notifications display on CarPlay
Can the notifications that display for warnings such as roadworks, pot holes, etc., be changed to show square buttons next to eachother rather than long thin buttons above one another, as they are quite hard to press with your left hand (UK driver). Making the buttons square would be soooooo much easier to press and less error prone to fat fingers :)

New adult looking display... The update looks like a child designed it
The new update on Android really killed Waze in my opinion. I like the new button layout and placements, but there are a few problems with the display.
a) Color scheme - Looks like a child colored it in. I would like not so vibrant colors and more professional looking.
b) The view port - It seems to show much more of the road you have already passed than it did before the update. I'm not concerned with the road I have already driven on, I would much rather see more ahead.
c) Road Thickness - WAY too thick!!!…12 votes -
Go back to old map display
Please go back to the old map display at night. The new one is terrible to navigate.The side roads are the same color as the route you are taking as well as any adjacent waterways. It is really distracting.

Add Electric to the Preferred fuel type, which will then display electric charging points on the map.
There is no current option in Preferred fuel type for pure Electric. I would like to have this option, which, when selected, displays electric charging points as POIs for my journeys.
3,134 votesGreat news! The EV charging stations are now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

CarPlay Display of My location
It’s great that Waze is now available on CarPlay. However one thing I’ve noticed is the route ahead is often obscured by the turn/ETA tiles. This is because the location of your car is dead centre on the screen. If your location was offset to the side (like Google and Apple maps) this situation would be improved.

Too many road hazards, categorize Major vs minor, enable the turning off minor road hazard notifications, they clutter the display
Unclutter Nav map, road hazards are way too plentiful. Make two different categories of road hazards major and minor. Give the ability to turn off minor road hazards on your display. When the screen is cluttered with 20 minor road hazards, you don't even look at them.

Half-screen display on Android Auto
Is itbpossible to optimise the half-screen display on Android Auto to show the key direction information? At the moment the road names trail off if they're too long while there are things like the exit numbers that are in green aesthetic boxes taking up a lot of unnecessary space.
Would be nice to also have the pop-up notification shortcuts to "Home" or "Work" or a chosed Saved Place like Google Maps so I can start on my journey more effectively.

toggle for map when on CarPlay
I’ve been using Waze as my primary navigation app, but ever since Waze was made compatible with CarPlay I’ve been unable to view the map on my phone screen. “Just use the map on the radio screen” you might say. My iPhone is mounted next to my heads up display I have to look down when I have ApplePlay on to use the other music apps. The radio display is too low to view the map safely and is also susceptible to glare. My iPhone is mounted to my dash so I can glance at it without completing taking my…

Motorcycle based map and speed display scale and legibility.
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…

While traveling, user should be able to search for a Point of Interest such as "Starbucks" and save it as route POI. the app should display
While traveling or entering a navigation route, the user should be able to search for a Point of Interest (POI) such as "Starbucks" and save it as route POI. The app should display all "Starbucks" locations on the route with the option to add one or more POIs as a new stop. the POI will remain active until navigation is stopper or user reached destination

Currently only Google Maps allows for the Map to be shown in the drivers display on the Land Rover Discovery 5, New Defender, Range Rovers etc.
Please can Waze update the app to allow for the map to show on the driver's so that it can "keep up" with Google Maps. Thanks.

Street Name Display Optional
Hello,
I’d like to suggest an improvement to the navigation interface in Waze. Currently, street names are displayed systematically, which can clutter the screen and reduce the clarity of essential guidance elements (arrows, distances, lane instructions).
I propose adding an option to:
- disable the automatic display of street names during navigation;
- or limit their appearance to the immediate vicinity of the destination, where this information is truly useful for identifying the final location.This would allow for a cleaner, more readable interface and reduce distractions, especially in dense urban environments.
Thank you for your continued work and…

Display bug onAndroid Auto
I can't find a way to notify a bug, so here it is as an improvement proposal:
When I plan a drive on the phone before plugin the phone to the car, I don't get anymore alerts and display of speed in Android Auto.
If Waze is off on the phone when I connect to the car, and I start the itinerary in Android Auto, everything is fine.
I connect using USB-C cable, and phone is Fairphone 3 with Android 10, but I saw it on other phone brands as well1 vote -
Add option to display Gas Stations (as clickable icons) on main map screen without having to use menu.
Add the option to display gas stations on the main map as clickable icons, without having to go through the several menus (i.e. menu > gas > list > map... and all the way back) to visualize surrounding stations and return to main navigation map.
Clicking the gas station icons on the main map view should allow users to "navigate" directly to the gas station and also update the fuel prices (if within range).
Showing gas stations on the main map view has two main benefits:
Updating gas prices to nearby stations becomes much easier.
The user will have the…

Improve the Android Automotive version.
I would like the Waze version for Android Automotive to be as good as the mobile version, in addition to adding some options that are necessary while driving.
1-In the Android Automotive version, the radar alerts do not emit any sound, making it completely useless, as you won't be looking at the screen continuously while driving.
Moreover, the other alerts only emit a notification sound, and when it sounds, you have to look at the screen to know what danger is approaching, diverting your attention from the road.
All alerts should be like in the mobile version, with a voice…

Interaction with OBDII information via third party ODBII bluetooth adapter.
Waze could collect several information from injection module and display accordingly with users necessities.
Furthermore, the Waze could have the option to invert the display so that the user can use as a head up display. This way is safer.

Updates to UI/Map display
I do a lot of free driving, since I swapped from my now dead GPS to Waze. The biggest thing I miss from my GPS is that it showed street names, exits and mile markers without me needing to be in navigation mode. I know where I'm driving, but the street and exit names keep me grounded and not missing my exits/streets since I primarily drive when the sun is not up.
I would also love to be able to move the widgets/buttons on the map around, such as the button to drop a pin for an event like a…
