  1. POIs: automatically recognize location and search option

    Currently there is no 'City' field in the POI definition. When defining a new one (for instance gas station or train station), you have to specify the city in the name if you want to make it findable within a city search (for instance you want to serach all gas station in the city you are wazing). Thus congesting the map.
    Maybe an option when searching for POIs to restrain research within a certain range would be helpful too.

  2. compass for carplay, show compass direction of travel, please

    I love Waze with Apple CarPlay.

    When I am in an unfamiliar area I would REALLY like to know which compass direction I am traveling. Waze should display the travel direction. It currently does not.

    How can I escalate this request?

  3. Setting to turn off big purple road names

    Many times these "new" big purple road names block the map at intersections and make it difficult to know if you are turning onto the correct street.

  4. Uso obrigatório de farol baixo em rodovias

    Além de um alerta via popup seria legal se o(a) assistente falasse "Você está entrando em uma rodovia, lembre-se de ligar o farol baixo!" Um aviso igual é com radar (Radar reportado à frente!)

  5. More Special Voices! Deadpool for example

    How awesome would it be to have Deadpool telling you what to do?! There hasn't been a special voice since C3PO and he would be a great one :) I love the special voices!

  6. Differentiate "dirt road" of "4x4 trail".

    "Dirt road / 4x4 trail" should be called "4x4 trail" only, and keep the same navigation capabilities as now, only to be allocated as such the badly damaged roads that only 4x4 vehicles are able to travel it.
    In the "street category" should be added a new type of segment called "dirt road", which would be passable streets for any vehicle but their ability to circulate them may vary due to various external factors such as weather. Because of this, they should suffer some level of penalty in the routing, and allows the "avoid dirt roads" in the application for…

  7. Adding report option of Fire Trucks, EMTs, Emergency Personnell causing traffic congestion

    In NYC and other major cities fire trucks and emergency personnel tend to cause traffic congestion and causing delays. I think waze should add a report feature for this type of activity since reporting closure wouldn't make sense in a temporary situation.

  9. Move (Install) to SD Card (Android)

    I would like to be able to move waze to my SD card. I have 2.2, but my phone does not have enough internal storage for all my apps. It would be awesome if I could move this to my SD since it is one of the larger apps.

  12. לתת עדיפות לתוצאות של בתי חולים או סימון מיוחד

    לאחר מספר מקרים בהם חברים ניסו להגיע לביתח חולים אך הכתובת הראשונה היתה לפי קירבה (למשל רחוב בלינסון בכפר סבא במקום בית חולים בלינסון בפתח תקווה) ובגלל החשיבות הגדוחה בעניי כאשר אדם מנסה להגיע לבית חולים אני מצעיה שבחיפוש שמות של בתי חוליפ הם יוםיעו ראשונים (ולא בהכרח התוצאה הקרובה) או לחילופין שלבתי חולים יוסיפו סימן אשר ייחד אותם מכתובות אחרות ם

  13. Take advantage of AMOLED screens

    AMOLED screens have the capability to reduce battery life when used correctly.
    When a user either selects Night Mode or Waze automatically selects Night Mode, please change the background to solid black instead of dark blue. This will greatly reduce the amount of LEDs being used by the screen, thus saving battery life.
    Or if a users wish to keep the dark blue background, have an option to select "Dark Night" mode.

  16. Send accurate (W3W?) location to recovery company, police, fire

    When you breakdown, arrive at and accident or have an accident yourself, you need to be able to report your location very very accurately.

    Waze could have an emergency call/location feature to guide police, ambulance, fire etc to the exact location. The most accurate in what 3 Words which has mapped the entire globe with 3m x 3m squares.

  18. The new “road shield” symbol reduces text legibility

    New “road shield” symbol means the font size is reduced making it harder to read whilst driving. I’m a UK user. The road number is now shown in a box with a smaller font than it was previously. Please revert back to the previous, larger font size

  19. Have an OPTION for arriving on the same-side of the street as the destination.

    This would apply mostly to cities but it could also apply in other congested areas. Arriving on the wrong side of the street in a city situation can be as bad as arriving several blocks away since in order to turn into the parking for the building you cannot crossover the heavy traffic or possibly a median. Instead you have to come up with your own way of circling around (and there may be many 1-way streets to thwart you) to get your vehicle on the same side of the street as the destination so you can park/drop off or…

  20. Ability to switch speed/speed limit display.

    The speed limit is the critical information. Currently it is the smaller of the two shown. Often, on a phone, the speed limit is too hard to read.
