  1. Speed camera notifications AFTER passing it

    I think you should get rid of the notification that comes up with the little timer after you've passed a speed camera. It takes so long to go away and it's not convenient to press close so many times. Plus it's not useful what's the point you've passed it now

  2. "landscape" phone holder

    Currently my phone holder is in "landscape" position. The problem is that the 3D (or birdview) paramertes are same with the portrait position, so the area front of the car is smaller ( I can see only few km forward)
    If I navigate and I get a warning (eg. traffipax) half of the screen is covered... so my "foresight" is more reduced
    I have 2 suggestions:
    - "adjustable" (or auto) birdview-sight angle/height: if there are 20km "foresight" in portrait position, let the same distance in landscape position
    - navigation and warning "bars" let the same size in every position... and…

  3. Automated Incident Emergency Detection & Location Screen Change and 3 type descriptor

    Unless it is your day job, and even then, most people faced with an emergency situation either as a victim or a witness, especially in a vehicle, will suffer immense rushes of adrenaline pumping around the body, any injuries invoke confusion as delayed shock sets in.

    Is there/ can there be any rapid single panic-proof (user option selected) - such as 5 second hold of fingers on the screen in two places simultaneously or gyroscopic sudden impact detection via phone or user holds max/min volume buttons at their max point for a duration (viz like Apple power down) - depending…

  4. use phone speakers setting problem

    I have set Waze to use my phone speakers, and NOT the car's bluetooth speaker. But when I use the car's bluetooth speaker, Waze gives driving directions via the bt speaker instead of the phone speakrs. This disturbs important phone conversations or listening to music. If I configure Waze to use phone speakers, it should work exclusively with phone speakers! Please fix! Tks in advance!

  5. Change the voice for police or red light camera.

    I tend to tune out the monotone voice of the Waze speaker and when there is a police or red might camera I don’t register in my mind that it’s there. Would be nice if I could change specific alerts like that to be a different noise alert like a beep or a different voice.

  6. Speed / red light camera alerts announced too early on local steeets

    Speed / red light camera alerts are announced too early on local steeets currently.
    Most of the time, the alert is announced over 750m away. And on local streets, it is very likely that there there would be multiple other intersections before reaching it. So by the time the actual camera location is reached, the alert is already forgotten.
    Please make it so that the camera alerts are announced closer to the actual camera while on city streets (around 200 - 250m). Or add a second alert when "approaching speed / red light camera", in addition to the current…

  7. 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…

  8. police car detection

    scenario,
    you are driving to work every day, so you obviously don't need a navigation app open to show you the way, but you also want to be aware of police cars.

    I was going to work one time and as soon as I plugged my phone into my car, google maps gave me a notification something like "work is 15 mins drive" which means it knows roughly when I leave for work and it is sure its work cause its the same time always.

    so idea is, even when the user isn't using the app, Waze or google knows…

  9. Sync favorites between web site and the mobile app

    It would be usefull if you could search for a specific place in the web site, and the load it in your mobile phone or the device you use. In my case I travel around often and drive in other countries, it would help me save time, and plan better my trip.

    I tried to look the way to do it but couldn't find it.

  10. Opposite speed camera reporting and differentiate between front and rear facing speed cameras

    Suggestion 1:
    Sometimes, when driving, there is a police officer with a camera on the opposite side of the road. However, the app doesn’t have an option to report a “camera on the opposite side,” so we are forced to mark it as “police on the opposite side.” It would be helpful to have a specific option for reporting such cases.

    Suggestion 2:
    Speed cameras generally fall into two categories: those that measure speed from the front of the vehicle and those that measure it from the rear. It would be great if Waze could distinguish between these…

  11. Car Play phone view switch

    When connected via Car Play, the map can only be seen on the car. The turn-by-turn list is the only thing you see on the phone screen. I want the ability to see the map on the phone too. When re-routing occurs I often want to view the route to see if I want to go a different way. Trying to pinch/move/navigate the car screen is hard, and becomes unsafe very quickly. Pinching/moving on the phone is much easier and ultimately safer.

  12. windows phone app NEEDS voice command feature!

    Waze is supposed to be hands free, however, for Windows Phone users, there is no voice command feature available! That means it is Not hands free... Please make an update to allow Hands Free Voice Commands available for all users to keep driving safe for everybody.

  13. Add fic speed camera on the app

    These days, there are many fixed speed cameras that suddenly appeared in Hungary.
    There are mobile cameras and police registrations on the screen, but there are no fixed speed cameras. It would be nice if you could add it. Thank you.

  20. Sound Alert in LOCKED phone

    I think Waze could enable an option to be able to keep warning (Radar, Hazards, Accident, Police, Heavy Traffic, etc) even when phone is LOCKED. When I lock my Android 4.3.1 it doesn't alert anything.
