Remove the bell or “ding” noise for hazards and replace with verbal, spoken warnings
Spoken warnings are the old behavior for the app and they need to be replaced. Example - “Vehicle stopped on shoulder ahead.” Instead, there’s now nothing but a nondescript “ding.” The ding is jarring, and provides no useful information without me looking at my phone. I need as much information possible conveyed verbally because I am not always in the position to look at my phone. I’m baffled this functionality was removed.

A setting to enable the speed camera warning ALWAYS
Greetings,
Would it be possible to add the ability to set Waze to ALWAYS give warnings about the presence of speed cameras and not just when you exceed the speed limit?32 votes -
Simplify Wazer and Editor workflow for residential places
The current method for a wazer to add their home to the map is confusing and creates more work for waze map editors. The workflow for a wazer is similar to this:
Wazer selects the yellow triangle (if it's displayed on their map)
Next selects "Place"
(now it is about to get really confusing)
Wazer must take a picture
The next screen says "Select Place" with a text field that says "Enter Place name".
For a residence, the wazer should not enter a place name. Just below the text field there is apparently a "button" that if tapped will add…32 votes -
Allow longer time to report road closure.
When I come upon a road closure, I need to avoid emergency vehicles and workers, and be careful of other traffic. Once I get clear of the incident, I try to report it. But by that time, Waze won't let me select the intersection where the problem was. It seems that you must be in the immediate are of the road to report an issue. This often means that I am unable to report road closure issues when I encounter them. Waze should allow a longer time to report closures. (Why is there any limit at all? I may feel…

Allow users to set routing preferences based on factors other than journey time
Waze comes up with some extraordinary routes to minimise journey time, but the best route is a combination of several factors. How about allowing users to set preferences for other factors such as shorter distance, minimising turns, best fuel consumption etc.

Import Plugshare / Openchargemap database for EV charging stations?
Can Waze import Plugshare / Openchargemap database for EV charging stations?
It should be more efficient to import it, than build/manage it from scratch.32 votes -

Floating map like google maps
It would be so much easier for work. I am currently working as a driver. Waze has way better routes than Google maps but the downside is that I have to close the navigation if I want to check my work app. Unfortunately because of this inconvenience I'm forced to use Google maps.

Saved Places
"Saved Places" custom sort fails to keep custom sorting. Very frustrating. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

One Lane Bridge Alerts
It would be great to have a warning when approaching a one lane bridge, given that it's an important time to slow down and be prepared to stop. By one lane bridge, I mean a bridge with one lane that is shared be the traffic going in either direction (https://www.nzta.govt.nz/roadcode/general-road-code/road-code/about-driving/giving-way/giving-way-on-one-lane-bridges/).
Generally one direction gets the right of way, so it would also be handy to have that included in the warning.

Warn about slowing traffic ahead
Please add a feature to warn of s lowing traffic ahead.
When driving on the freeway, waze knows where we’re going, if the traffic is much slower ahead, a warning about slowing traffic would be very helpful and provide greater safety.

Need a widget for android to display map on home screen.
I use a tablet for my car entertainment center, and use waze over google maps. I want a way to add a widget that can display current navigation map on the home screen, so that way I won't need to use split screen all the time. Could have ability to launch full app by hitting the widget if need to interact with waze completely, if too hard to have it interact fully on widget only.

An option to switch on the screen a second map view showing the route with zoom out
It could be a good idea to have a switch on/off option of a second map view (in one corner of the screen) to see simultaneously the route from higher perspectives (i.e., a zoom out view), in order to acquire information regarding where the Waze would direct us, which roads, after every recalculations of the optimal route.

Pause audiobooks during Waze alerts
I listen to a lot of audiobooks (via Overdrive app) while using Waze to navigate, when I get a Waze alert or prompt though Waze will talk over the audiobook rather than pause/resume it. It's very annoying and I often miss what the narrator is saying and have to back it up. I wish the audiobook could be paused while the Waze alert is given and then pick right back up again afterwards.
