Waze Light
Dear Waze community,
Typically, I rely on Waze to guide me home, however, while leaving a friend's apartment while visiting a foreign country, I found that my fastest route home led me down dark streets and uncrowded areas. Being a young female, I realized that while this was the most efficient way home, it was certainly the least safe. While walking, I realized a vital and potentially life saving feature that could be added to the Waze app would be directions that provided the most lit route in addition to the already offered fastest route. This would benefit not only…

Waze audio stops working when I unplug my iPhone
As is obvious from other comments (including my own), Waze doesn't work well with Apple car play. When I am so frustrated with the inefficiency that I give up and unplug my phone so Waze will stop overriding the radio, Waze stops talking to me through the iPhone speakers. None of the settings changes; it just stops talking. So not only does it not work well with my car speakers, it forces me to pick up the phone and look at the screen every time I need to know whether and where to turn. VERY DANGEROUS.

Add a warning at the beginning of a route, if there's an area we should avoid.
Every day I use Waze to drive to work. I could take either one of two basic routes. Waze usually says "let's take..." and then tells me which route to take. That helps me know which way to turn when I pull out of my driveway, but often Waze tries to make me go around the block before I can actually get started. Consequently, every morning there is confusion about what Waze is really trying to tell me. If Waze chose one route over the other because there's an accident or a major traffic jam on the other, why can't…

Display address you're navigating to when you get near your destination
Often times I get close to my destination and I don't remember the exact house number I'm looking for. It would be nice if when Waze prompts that you're nearing your destination, that it would display the address you put in to navigate to so you can look for the house number as you get close to your destination.

Forward road-hazard reports to Highway Patrol
Sometimes I see the same dangerous road hazards day after day and I think local authorities would take care of it if Waze could only pass on the report (if only reports with a lot of "confirmations" from other Waze users).

Please acquire and support Navdy
You may or may not be familiar with the Navdy heads up display unit. I have one, it's a great device.
Sadly, on October 26, 2017, Navdy, Inc. (“Navdy”) entered into an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors (“Assignment”) and, as a result, Navdy is unfortunately no longer conducting business.
"What this means for you as a Navdy customer is that sometime within the next couple of weeks, your Navdy unit may stop functioning properly. Features like turn-by-turn navigation and voice recognition could fail and it is possible that this may cause the device to fail completely.

Automatic Gas Station Select
When choosing to update fuel prices for nearby gas stations, it would be extremely useful and much safer if the app would automatically select the gas station if only one were to show in the results. The interface could present an option at the top to allow them to add a gas station if the one they were expecting didn’t show up.
By auto selecting the only gas station in the results will make it much better for the user so they can focus more on the road.

Seamless "OK, Google Now Navigate"
I would like Waze to begin navigation intermediately after it starts when I say "OK, Google Now Navigate to ..." without having me to click anything. Right now the destination appears on the map, but then I need to click the bock and tell Waze to begin navigation.

Rush Hour - please show the travel time thru red.
Instead of showing the mph on red area, please show the travel time thru red.
You already have it because as soon as I get into traffic, the travel time shows up.

The voices used are quite good. Liam Neeson's is excellent...except, the reference to stealth mode (sensible with speed traps) gets annoying
Broaden Liam's vocabulary and dial back...way back...the stealth mode comments. After driving 13+ hours, all of us in the van were groaning. It became annoying and slid to infuriating about hour 4 of 13+

Ability to edit the text-to-voice pronounciations
While navigating, text-to-voice feature often pronounces abbreviations literally - eg 'univ' as 'univ', not 'university'. It also pronounces 'Ave' like 'wave' not the long 'a' in 'Avenue'
Can map editors fix individual signs and navigation cues?
(I'm a level 1 editor - so maybe this something that senior editors have access to)

You have the date time and distance only thing you need to add is the beginning of the meter by the country and Day & Night. I use taxis a lot, and I would love to know what the price of the trip before I go in a taxi, especially abroad.
Thanks

Don't limit the number of reports that can be submitted, limit the points given instead. Better to have more current info avail for drivers.
Today I exceeded my limit for the number of reports I could submit. I was not aware there was a limit, but this happened just as I was trying to report an accident on the freeway. I am on the roads early each morning and would think the more info submitted for the rush hour the better. Instead of limiting how many reports can be submitted, if abuse is a concern, why not just limit the points that can be earned from submitting points within a certain amount of time. I was very disappointed that I was not able to…

Scan traffic while we sleep
The option to punch in how long it takes you to get ready.
Example, I take 12 minutes from the time I wake up to the time I'm leaving my house.
Waze scans the traffic for you while you're sleeping and will wake you up with an alarm if traffic is heavy and you should leave earlier than usual.
I thought of this idea yesterday when I left at the time that uaually makes me 30 minutes EARLY for work. I wasnt aware that there was 3 accidents on the freeway while I was still sleeping. Now instead of being…
