  1. Move the Triangle reporting icon to the LEFT side of the screen on Car Play to make it easier for the driver reach

    FOR SAFETY REASONS...
    Moving the report triangle to the left side of the Car Play screen would make if FAR easier for the DRIVER to report Hazards and other actions.
    Currently, having the triangle on the RIGHT side of the screen requires reaching and taking eyes completely off the road to accurately click the icon. This is especially critical on newer vehicles with LARGE screens like Toytota Tundras. Moving the triangle to the Left side of the Screen would enhance safety and be easier to reach.

  2. Replace Delete button for Save in the MTE form

    When I want to put in a MTE lots of time I press on the delete knop after finishing instead of the save button.

  3. Street Parking

    We have parking lot roads that cover most parking situations, but there's not a great mechanism for handling street parking on public streets where it doesn't make sense to mark a road as a parking lot road. Examples: Many residential neighborhoods, many downtown areas.

    Suggestion is to add a flag to all driveable road types except freeway and PLR/PR to indicate "street parking is allowed", along with pricing information similar to how we handle parking lot areas. This could be part of the next phase of the parking project.

  5. Enable zoom keyboard shortcuts (Shift + up/down) when Streetview is open

    Zoom keyboard shortcuts (Shift + up/down) are not working when Streetview is open. Please bring them back :)

    They were intentionally disabled apparently - see forum post for more info: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2362272

  6. Railroad Crossing info

    my idea would be trying to either intergrade the USA FRA railroad crossing locator app into waze or make it so we can add the info manually so if at a crossing where there may be an incident a user can click on the crossing and it will bring up the crossing ID number and the emergence contact phone number for the Railroad.

    I feel like this feature could possibly save lives considering most do not know where to look for the signs at the crossing nor know that the locater app even exists.

  8. Request to Waze team

    Request to the Waze Team

    Please add a feature to Waze that uses OBD2 to provide vehicle speed pulses. Currently, when entering a tunnel, the vehicle stops on the map, so I would like this feature to ensure accurate navigation within tunnels.

    In Japan, there are interchanges within tunnels, making accurate navigation difficult without this feature. To improve this, please enable the use of an OBD2 connector to provide speed information even within tunnels.

    Additionally, I believe Waze could generate profit by supporting OBD2 and selling Waze-compatible OBD2 devices. It would also be helpful if these OBD2 devices could automatically…

    For special events I would like to store locations and dates (for example Holidays) so you can eassily select when you want to go there. You have your "favorites" but within a sub-group as (for example) "Holidays 2024" with several addresses and dates.

  12. Allow advisory drops on website

    Allow the ability to enter in advisory pins on the desktop site even when not diving. Users may know of construction, closures, traffic, incidents, that are not reported by on road Wazers. This would be an extra eye in the sky to warn drivers of known issues ahead.

  13. Zoom in to selected map suggestion

    When we select a map suggestion in the Issue Tracker, the map is centered on the suggestion, but the zoom level isn't changed. The map should zoom in to the suggestion.

  14. More APIs for voice Assistants

  15. Custom speeds by user

    This is just effected to the current user only.

    Just like the emergency buttons in the default map view, individuals can pick a new button named "Custom Speed." From here, they can set a speed value and distance. Additionally, setting a time range would be even better.

  18. bike paths

    It would be cool if bike paths could be added and the category 'footpath' could be renamed to 'path', allowing one to select which type of path it is (footpath, bike path).

  19. Closed Place - Permanent/Temporary

    Suggestion:
    "Place Closure" Feature.
    Please provide an option for editors to mark any place as closed, preferably with permanent closure or temporary closure options. Based on these two choices, branching options should be displayed.
    For example, if a place is marked as permanently closed, the reason should be displayed along with an option to delete the place from the map.
    If it is temporarily closed, options for duration and reason should be shown.

    Additionally:
    Display a warning to drivers before starting the journey, along with a red icon indicating that the place is closed.

  20. Android \ help and feedback \ Report map issue \ Keyboard blocks the description box

    On the android app, under Help and Feedback, Report map issue... the text box for "Describe the issue" is blocked by the on-screen keyboard, so users cannot see what they are typing. The only way to see is to minimize the keyboard, but the minimize button becomes the "go back" button, so it is easy to accidentally go back, which wipes everything the user just entered in.

    I suggest the program developers added some blank space on the bottom of the page. This would allow the user to scroll down so that the "Describe the issue" text box does not…
