Add Support for Oval Country-Code Symbols in Visual Instructions
Description:
In many European and international transit corridors, road authorities frequently use the white oval country‑code symbol (e.g., A, D, CH, H, I, SLO, HR) on direction signs, gantries, and even road surface markings. These symbols are universally recognized by drivers and originate from the international vehicle registration codes defined in the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic (1949) and the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (1968).Because these ovals appear prominently on real-world signage—especially in countries with heavy cross‑border traffic—they are an essential visual cue for navigation. However, in Waze they are currently difficult and cumbersome to reproduce in visual instructions. Editors must resort to workarounds that reduce clarity and consistency (create temp segment, add a white oval road sign, add to visual instruction, remove temp segment).
Why this matters:
* The oval country codes are highly recognizable, even at a glance.
* They are used on official road signs, across Europe and beyond.
* They help drivers quickly identify international routes, border directions, and transit corridors.
* Adding native support would improve accuracy, readability, and editor efficiency.Request:
Please add built‑in support for oval country‑code symbols in Waze visual instructions. Either as a dedicated icon set or as a simple markup element. This would align Waze more closely with real-world signage and significantly enhance navigation clarity for millions of cross-border drivers.Some examples of real-world road signs with oval country symbols:

HUD Interface
I own LEXUS NX450 F-Sport and use WAZE through Car Play. The problem is that there is no interface between the WAZE and the Head-Up-Display. For example, Apple Maps has such an interface. I think this is a must feature you have to add.

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.12 votes -

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.

Outdated Waze map design -> Chances for a redesign?
The Waze map design is now quite outdated and seems very retro, out of date. There are no 3D buildings, poor resolution on large car screens, etc.
Will there ever be a redesign of the Waze map, see e.g. Google Maps 3D buildings in navigation.

Vehicle Type - Van to be added
Under Vehicle Type in Settings, Could there be a vehicle type for Vans that shows the correct speed you can go on certain roads, as in the UK Vans are restricted on speed on certain types of roads like on a national speed limit single carriageway it 50mph for a van instead of 60mph, aswell as a dual carriageway it’s 60mph instead of 70mph.

Verbal Speed Camera Alerts should be on constantly or make a button
In the UK, people loved Waze, simply due to its Verbal Alerting behaviour for everything. But a few months ago, speed camera verbal alerts were turned off if you're under the speed limit.
Not only is this dangerous but it could cause speeding tickets. Let me explain with this is problematic:
1) firstly, the main priority should be to get out eyes off the screens and on the road. It's self explanatory, if I'm constantly having to look fir the speed camera sign on the app and my eyes are off the road then this is a disaster waiting to happen at 70mph. Please note, not everyone needs to speed to be made aware of a camera, we should just be alerted.
2) the new feature is that you need to be above the speed limit to be warned/alerted of a camera, but in the UK we have smart motorways (which aren't smart but are a pain). On these motorways we have speed limits that change according to the traffic and can be 20mph now and 60mph the next hour, the cameras here are also set to change their flashing threshold per the updates, but for Waze, how does it make sense that I will only be alerted if I'm going 61mph when the live speed limit change is 30mph.
3) what if I'm under the speed limit 500meters behind the camera and then don't see the icon on screen or the camera as I get closer and get flashed doing 24 in a 20 zone and since the last year UK has changed from average 30 zones to 20 and this makes going over 20mph very easy by accident.
Please fix this issue OR LET US CHOOSE AND GIVE US A BUTTON.
If you don't want us having constant speed camera alerts, whether below, at or above the speed limit, then please AT LEAST GIVE US THE OPTION.
Just make a toggle button and everyone will be happy.
This is a big talk in the UK car scene right now and unsure why more tickets have not yet been made.

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.

Time based lane guidance
Atm you can't set Lane Guidance based on time. Unfortunately this is an inconvenience in places like Melbourne, Victoria, Australia where certain lanes change depending on the time of the day.

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.
