  2. Have an easy to use "manual start/pause" button

    It would be helpful to have a "Start now" button. I'll often set my destination while still parked, so the part about navigating out of the parking lot is the app getting confused over and over while I navigate out to the street.

  3. CLOSED STREET REPORT IMPROVEMENT

    Hello,

    I would like to suggest an improvement of Waze driver interface. Specifically cleaning up and making it easier for the driver to report a street live street closure. When doing that, the map that pops out makes it very difficult to recognize which street we want to indicate that is closed. Cleaning this option up and adding street names would greatly improve ability to report it and warn other drivers.

    Thank you in advance

  4. More visibility in a landscape mode (tilted screen)

    Waze is great, I like to keep it running without any navigation / destination. In mobile's landscape mode (tilted screen) there is menu + search bar that takes about a half of the screen. Please make it as a pop up when touched or as a slider from the bottom/side of the screen. The visibility is close to none even with my 6.7" screen.

  5. Turn Waze off

    Waze is great but it burns up your battery. It should auto turn off as soon as the route is completed or stopped.

  6. View a larger area of the map on phone while driving.

    Please give the option to view a larger area of the map while driving. When on auto-zoom it's really close and you cannot see the road at least a few miles ahead.

  7. Mostrar alternativas de viaje en la misma pantalla

    A veces me envía por rutas más largas y lentas que Maps. Tal vez las rutas alternativas podría mostrarlas en la misma pantalla con sus minutos adicionales como lo hace Maps. Así sería super completa la aplicación.

  11. Google Assistant Voice Navigation Problem

    Dear Waze Team.

    Since yesterday (seems like after Google Assistant update) I cannot use voice commands via Google Assistant in Waze anymore.

    This cause a problem while driving as it is dangerous to try and add potholes etc. manually while driving.

    When having Waze open and I want to navigate with commands through Google Assistant - just nothing happen or Google Maps open.

    There is NO Google Assistant option to choose in my Waze app in Waze > Settings > Voice & Sounds?

    PLEASE ADVISE OR HELP.

    Thank you so kindly.

    We plan to work on Including “Broken Traffic Light” hazard report in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

  13. Option to disable new message pop-ups while driving

    You guys have designed this lovely pop-up to be intrusive and distracting. Some users might love getting pop-ups while driving through roundabouts and complex junctions, some users (surprisingly) will not like it.

    Please give us the option to disable this pop-up.

  14. Allow the user to copy and paste locations/directions

    Why doesnt Waze mobile allow the user to copy and paste locations but instead creates a long and convoluted way to send directions to others or copy them for sharing. Other apps like google maps allows a one click copy to clipboard to share. It should be that simple, i cannot ever share the location with anyone because it creates a link for people. Why a link, just copy the directions only. Im surprised its not a part of the app already.

  16. TURN OFF RECENT LOCATIONS pop up when you open Waze

    For many reasons, including several types of safety reasons, we really need a way to TURN OFF the RECENT LOCATIONS pop up that appears every time you open the Waze App. I did contact support and there is currently (March 2021) not a way to do this.

  17. Stop Taking over Car Audio in CarPlay

    It is extremely annoying when Waze opens on car play that it changes my audio source to the CarPlay as well. It’s so annoying that I have gone back to using Google or Apple Maps exclusively, as they do not do this.

  18. 4.70.1.0 for Android - disable automatic "recent locations" tab

    Why would you even bother adding such a thing? I don't need it. I know where to go for recent locations. I don't want to see it pop up every time I start waze.

    Keep up these "improvements" and I'll be switching apps. Stop dumbing down the UI. Quit piling more and more crap on the main screen. There is no point. I want a map. I want traffic (audible) alerts. When using a destination, I want audible turn-by-turn directions. THAT'S ALL.

    And TURN OFF THAT DAMNED CHIRP. Or, give me a toggle where I can turn it off. I'm…

  19. Inserir alerta de queimadas

    Seria uma boa vcs inserirem um botão de queimada na caixa "alertas". Em muitas regiões no Brasil existem queimadas nas margens da rodovia e não existe um alerta exclusivo para avisarmos que logo adiante existe um foco de incêndio ou queimada e orientarmos nossos companheiros

  20. Vehicle on left side of highway

    Please add an option to report a vehicle stopped on the LEFT side of the highway. Often a Wazer will report a car on the side of the road, but it’s actually against the left wall and it’s confusing and dangerous.
