use Android API for event buttons and text input
to report traffic/event irrelevancy it is darn hard to hit that tiny round button with a caret (>) at the end of the event item. instead I should be able to use a long press on a much broader list item to pop up the menu. also, the menu that pops up ought to be from the API. it would create bigger buttons (better for touch sensitive devices) and makes for a much more consistent device use experience plus it would make it more accessible while driving. More accessible means less accidents.
also text input. there seems to be no way to correct typos a few chars back without using backspace. In Android API text inputs users can easily use the navigation buttons/trackball to scroll to the place of mistake and make a MUCH quicker edit.

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,

traffic lights and stop signs
I request this idea a lot but it seems like no one listens and Waze team completely ignores it. We need stop signs and traffic lights on the map. All navigations in the market already has it expect only Waze, I don't know why they don't want do it or difficult to them to do it! I can't understand, these things its really very important for the drivers.

Allow "Map Problem" UR reporting using the 'Talk to report' feature to assist user to leave a UR while driving.
Currently the 'Talk to report' feature allows for reporting road hazards but does not allow for reporting 'Map Problems' such as 'incorrect speed limit' or 'no u-turn allowed.'
As a volunteer map editor, if I could tap the report button and say, "Drop UR here for ... " to open a UR with the UR type listed as 'Voice report' and the UR comment pre-filled with the voice to text input from the report, then I would be able to fix 90% more of the map problems that I notice while driving every day.11 votes -

Option to Disable Auto-Rerouting After Route Is Set
Hello,
I’d like to suggest a feature that allows users to disable automatic rerouting after setting a route.
As a driver, it’s not always possible (or safe) to constantly check the device to notice when Waze changes the route and tap “No thanks” in time to stay on the original path.There are countries where you must follow a specific route due to legal or financial reasons — for example, vignette zones, road restrictions, or toll obligations. When Waze changes the route automatically, it can cause problems such as fines, invalid route logs, or entering roads not suitable for the vehicle.
It would be extremely useful to have a setting like:
“Lock this route — do not suggest or apply alternatives automatically.”Thank you in advance!

Provide an auto-reroute disable function.
Provide an auto-reroute disable function. I was going through Atlanta and routed off of I-75 HOV lane (75 mph) to surface streets, only to be routed back on to I-75 slow lane (10-15 mph). That cost me about 15 minutes trying to get back to the HOV lane.

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.11 votes -
School districts input feed for updating their annual schedule and hours of operation changes
Since some school districts can have 85 or more zones and many states have over 20 counties ; managing the school holiday and time schedules can be a very big task.
Recommend getting a special feed set up so school districts can update them.11 votes -

When turning in EV functionalities, why do i still have to select gas types and preferred gas?
Why cant I add for example the charging card, which would mean I only see charging stations, where I can pay?

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 announcing what danger is coming.
2-It would be great to have all the options available in the mobile version, without needing to use the mobile phone to change some settings.
3-It would be wonderful to see the map, directions, and alerts on the cockpit screen behind the steering wheel, and to have the directions and alerts displayed on the heads-up display.
With these changes, Waze for Android Automotive would be something fantastic, just like it already is in the mobile version.
Thank you very much, and I hope you can implement all of this.

Bus/truck
Zou het mogelijk zijn om een bus/truck toe te voegen als vervoersmodi. Dit uiteraard met de mogelijkheid om gelimiteerde wegen te vermijden. Uiteraard dient men de afmetingen van hun eigen voertuig in te geven.
