  1. Add “avoid freeways” to drop down menu on map screen.

    It would be super useful to have the option to avoid freeway’s using the drop down list instead of having to scroll through all the preferences to find it. Especially once you’ve already started driving, and you want to change routes. It’s much more useful than “avoid ferries” when you live in a big city. I have 3 freeways near my home, and when I need to go just a few miles it always wants to put on a freeway just to have me get off one exit later.

  2. Locating fuel and restaurants

    Why is it when I search for fuel or food, Waze will give locations in the opposite direction to where I’m traveling? If I’m traveling North, I don’t need locations that are south of my direction.

  3. Latest saved addresses

    Hi Good Day

    I trust you are well.

    My name is Brad and I'm a big fan of Waze. Been using it ever since I discovered it. Thank you for creating such a fun and practical navigating app.

    I have a suggestion though, if I may, please can you make an adjustment to where newly saved addresses are shown. When I plan a new journey to a place I put in the address and save it to use later. The update I would like to suggest is to have the latest saved addresses appear at the top of the saved…

  4. Show the sleep button on all screens.

    It’s too hard to scroll back to sleep- map stays on unless it’s disabled and will drain data and power. Make it easier to turn off.

  6. multiple workplaces

    I work at two locations throughout the week. Previous to this job I enjoyed that my work was always easily accessible at the top of the suggestions list. Now that i work at two locations, i wish i still had this option. I currently have them both saved under my favorites, but this requires me to click into the favorites folder, meaning i have to navigate multiple screens rather than having my destination pinned at the top. This simple change would be a major QOL upgrade for any Wazer with multiple workplaces.

  7. Recent Locations (Local Device Data) - Bulk Remove Option

    Waze offers the ability to remove Recent Drive History in Bulk, however it leaves Recent Locations on the Local Device.

    I do not wish to keep these recent locations as they are of no relevance to my future trips.

    Waze only offers the ability to individually delete these records which can be an extremely repetitive task.

    Three Dots > Remove > Yes for each Recent Location

    I would love to be able to Bulk Remove Recent Locations from the My Waze GUI.

    I believe the following options would be a significant improvement:
    - Remove All Recent Locations
    - Swipe Left…

  8. Increase font in navigation screens

    Small fonts on Android. It was better few version back. Increase font in Android doesn't help. Ask your devs to respect accessibility for major actions like voice alerts, Home/work recommendations , recent drives, etc.

  9. Updated alternate route feature.

    My account has been selected to use the updated alternate route feature.

    Based on my experience, the UX/UI of the previous version is much better than the latest, I can easily compare the 3 routes on 1 page, but the updated alternative routes features require scrolling to do the comparison, I will need to remember the routes, total distance, arrival time before scrolling to the 2nd and 3rd route options for comparison and this defeat the purpose of the update?

    Sorry to say that I don't see the benefit of this updated alternate route option.

  10. customize Shortcut buttons on map screen

    I think its better let users to add 3 shortcut buttons(floating or fix) to map screen like ( vehicle stoped, police or anything which user decide) then user can report by one click ,its fast and safe
    It help to make fast reports , current situation is user have to make 2/ 3 steps to make report, on busy roads its very useful.

  12. Driver Avatars/Icons

    Gamification in apps like this can incentivize consumers to increase usage of your app. More frequent users ultimately increases your revenue from advertising and other potential sources. My idea is that you should incorporate a point/coin system that rewards users for driving miles using Waze. These points can then be used to buy avatars and icons in place of the boring arrow that represents the driver. The more points you save up, the cooler avatars you can buy. Potentially, the points can be used for gift cards and other rewards that you may come up with. In the end, this…

  13. Offset turn instruction

    Oftentimes at standard, perpendicular intersections, streets dead-end on one side and pick up again on the other side, offset by just a few dozen feet. For simplicity's sake and for routing, we map a lot of these as plain four-way intersections (like an italicized + sign, you could say).

    But this can be confusing for drivers, who arrive at the intersection with no special instruction and yet are forced to almost fully turn right or left. The simple four-way mapping style is appropriate when the offset would still allow a car's width to pass through without turning, but when there…

  14. CHANGE SPEED CAMERA AND RED LIGHT CAMERA ICONS BACK TO THE OLD ICON OR GIVE US THE OPTION TO CHOOSE.

    Waze changed the speed camera and red light camera icon on the map and it’s so much harder to see now.

    Just got a ticket for going 2 mph over the speed limit because I didn’t see the camera on my map

  16. In app widget

    A great feature would be an in app widget for reports. Let the users choose a report shortcut to be added on the map. Just push one button of choice to send a report. It would be much better for safety.
    My reports consists mostly of car on shoulder, I’d love to add a shortcut for that on my map.

  17. Search bar for Tolls and HOV passes

    In the Tolls and HOV passes menu, there are a lot of passes for a while (in the past there were only passes for my country), and I have to scroll through them to find the pass I'm looking for. It is really a lot, I guess for the whole of Europe. It would be beneficial to have a search bar for this menu to be able to filter/search passes.

  18. Show currency after price in fuel

    In some countries such as my own, Australia, we use cents ¢ to determine the price of fuel per litre. I recently raise this as a problem in Waze Discuss as it was showing the dollar $ symbol instead of the cents ¢ symbol.

    Now that that's fixed there's a limitation in the UI where this symbol can be placed. I was hoping the UI could be updated to show this symbol after the value rather than before as that's the correct way to show this type of currency.

  19. Six essential functions when using apps on mobile phones

    Recommendations for the Waze app:
    1. Add setting item: Speed ​​adjustment is a slider from 0 to 15km/h to compensate for slower speed compared to reality due to gps latency
    2. Change the current speeding warning threshold setting menu to a slider with values ​​from -20km/h to 20km/h so that users can choose the appropriate warning threshold for each need.
    3. Add voice speed warning sound option
    4. Add option to Repeat overspeed warning: (Off, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds…)
    5. Increase the size of the speed indicator and speed limit to match mobifone navigation…
