  1. Highway exits!

    Can you make it so exits on highways give you the name of the road and not exit number?

  2. Add north south west east direction when reporting from iPhone

    Add preset when reporting anything to waze via iPhone to show which direction drivers will see the report. Accident. Police etc. This also should show in the text description of the report. Same lane or other can help and this may show on the map. But it's hard to tell exactly what lane it's in. Ie, car stopped on shoulder may look on map like it's northbound lane when it's really south. Add direction of travel preset similar to same lane button.

  3. Not there outside routing

    We need an option to report "Not There" on incidents, even if it's not on the planned route. Now it's only possible when a popup comes up for the planned route. The "Not There" option should be present on any popup when clicking on an incident icon, even if it's on the other lane or outside the planned route, but within viewing distance.

  4. Better iPad interface.

    The iPad interface is a bit cumbersome to use while driving. I find many of the buttons are too small. I have my iPad docked in a RAM mount next to the stick shift, so its right next to my shift hand.

    Different screens appear in different sizes (like the event selection screen is cut in half when reporting a hazard or similar).

    Also, display of speed and similar information in the lower right should be larger, much like the turn-by-turn directions in the lower left.
    I would also appreciate any prompt buttons to be larger. If the buttons could…

  5. Event alerts-"On Route" as a default

    I am tired of seeing like 22 event alerts (cops, traffic, etc.) while driving my inputed route. when I hit the red exclamation mark it takes me to them and then I can select "On Route" to find out which one's only apply to the way I'm going...why not make the "On Route" button the default instead of "Around Me"???

  6. Feature of non-static Speedcams without approval from AM

    There are two things that can be reported - Police and Speedcams. Police shows up immediately, but speedcams (according to the footnote) must be approved and a user will be warned about that only if driving with excessive speed. However there are non-static speedcams too. Most users are repoting them as a police trap, but this is actually a speedcam, and it is changing its location over time. Notifying user when driving with excessive speed is ok, but I think that notifyication about non-static speedcams should be in any case, for example if there is an error in a map…

  7. Add "Any date after today" for age of new aerial data requests (Request updated imagery)

    BLUF Recommend adding an option for “Any date after today” Especially for new construction.

    Thank you for adding the Request updated imagery straight from WME to the WME Beta site. It allows one to request imagery that is 1 year, 6 months, 1 month. To improve the process it would be great to add "Any date after today". For construction the new configuration may have occurred within the last month or significant changes were made within the last month (lane guidance painting, etc.

  9. Add an ICE icon for active incidents in real time

    We need an option for when we see ice activities in public. Not only does all of this hold up traffic and put us behind behind of where we’re supposed to be, but we also need somebody to step up and be the heroes. Somebody with an infrastructure already in place that allows us to coordinate and work together. You’ve shown time and time again that you’re willing to step up and do what’s right, and now we need that more than ever. Please join us on the right side of history while there’s still a chance.

  10. PLEASE bring back animals on shoulder and roadkill

    For the love of traffic safety, PLEASE bring back reporting of "Animal on shoulder" and roadkill.

    I live in the northeastern U.S. and deer are a CONSTANT factor in traffic. This can be said for almost any area of the country for various species of animals and it's such a HUGE help to know if there are animals grazing near the road or possibly on the road, especially at night. Approximately 1 to 2 million collisions with large animals occur annually in the U.S. so I just can't understand why this feature was removed from the app. The roadkill part…

  11. Separate lane sign for public transport

    Waze is far long ago navigates with public transport lanes, but still there is no public transport sign in lane editor on the junctions, so it is impossible to place the lane signs on junctions like in the pic. below correctly

    I suggest to add additional PT lane sign like this, that will solve the navigation problem and will correctly show the location of PT sign

  14. 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…

  16. WME PH Only show at higher zoom

    Feedback on new icons for Place Hazards (Cameras, Railroad crossings). (from another editor's posting in Waze Discuss)

    In WME: hazards show on the map all the way out to Zoom 14! at this Zoom, even the railroad segment isn't rendered - does the hazard need to render this far?

    In areas like NYC, WME performance is already poor (for making edits, panning and zooming in).

    Now these icons also render out to Zoom Level 14, covering multiple streets, nodes, etc.

    Not too long ago we had an update for UR and PUR pills to group up (cluster) to reduce clutter,…

  19. Add full support on HUD displays on cars

    When using Waze in my Car via Android Auto, it shows show semi support on the HUD display.
    For example, when turning left on roundabout, the arrow and symbol shows straight instead of circle with left arrow surrounding it.
    Another support is missing - When driving on road with several lanes and need to stay on right lane or left lane, no lanes appear on HUD, only straight arrow.
    Google Maps and Sygic work great with HUD display so it's clearly an issue with Waze.
    Please fix.
    Thanks
