1. Reliability

   I have found that Waze is the most unstable of the three major navigation platforms, which include Apple and Google Maps. It routinely has trouble figuring out where one is starting from which causes the map to freeze while the navigation continues. It also consistently either stops working (loses the route, or begins to submit random, rapidfire directions which are all incorrect). This seems to mostly happen in urban settings. While trying to get our dog to cancer treatment in Boston, your navigator went off the rails, forcing me to pull over in traffic and go to another option to get there on time. Some of your features are unique and helpful, but you really need to work on reliability, which is pretty awful.

2. Notifications - Moving modal and/or providing users with ability to "X" out of notifications

   In Apple Carplay, Waze notifications pop up and push the directions modal into a small bar with no information except what kind of turn and how far away it is. It removes the worded directions and has made me miss my turn plenty of times. There is no option to "X" out of the notification, only answer "Still there" or "Not still there", but what if I haven't reached the area yet so I can't accurately answer the prompt but need to see my directions? As someone who drives with the sound off in Waze, I'm requesting to provide users with an "X" in the top right of notifications modals and to either move the notifications modal or make it smaller so I can read the directions.

3. Trip planning option removed from "Go to destination" window.

   PLEASE bring back the "trip planning option" ("drive at xx arrive at xx") to the main GO TO DESTINATION window !!!
   The previous version was better because this option is very useful and important when going to a destination. Searching for it in the main menu is a waste of time...and because we don't always plan a destination.

   Sometimes, when I want to go to a destination and I don't need to go now, I look for it and I watch the trafic jam. If I need to wait a few minutes/hours, I plan the route.

   Thanks for your work and happy new year. 🙏🏻

4. please remove camera integration after we hit “place” to add a new one.

   Hi
   I just want to know what is the reason that made you put the camera option as the first option to add a new place? Thus, the size of the addition will decrease, and most of the photos will not be accurate, because the time of adding varies from person to person. I may not be in a position that allows me to shot! in order to add the place, and if I do not do that, of course, I will forget it! Therefore, I suggest that the camera option be removed and added as an “optional” option, in addition to the possibility of importing photos from our studio.. Of course, filming with the camera application of Apple is not the same as photographing from within the Waze application

6. Fix calendar sync on iPhone!!

   Calendar sync used to work on my iPhone but now it's gone. I rely on this for my job which is made up of driving to many daily appointments. All my upcoming jobs were nicely listed on my main screen, then that vanished so I went to "planned drives" to find them, and now nothing is there except a screen telling me to sync my calendar but it's already switched on with all my calendars selected! Now I have to go to my calendar, click the appointment, tap the address, tap "open in Waze", click the correct location, then "find routes", and finally "go now." What used to be two taps is now like 10. PLEASE fix this! It's literally the only reason I use Waze over Apple Maps.

8. Add "Disabled Vehicle" to Windows Phone version

   I have an Android phone at work, and a Windows Phone at home. I use Waze on both as a single user. I was navigating home on Sunday when I watched a vehicle become disabled next to me at a traffic light. Being the good Wazer that I am, I immediately opened my Waze app and pressed on the "REPORT" icon. On my work (Android) phone under "HAZARD", there is an option to identify "Vehicle Stopped". On my Home (Windows) phone version, that option is completing missing. How did this get left off???? Could someone at Waze add it as one of the options to pick under "HAZARD"?

   Also, one other beef. The NAVIGATE and REPORT icons are reversed on Android and Windows versions. As a result, I'm constantly picking the wrong icon. Any way to put them in the same screen position on each version? NAVIGATE left, HAZARD right.

   Thank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is no longer supported on any Windows Phone device and is not planned to be supported in the near future.

9. Optimal route calculation - include price (consumption/persons time)

   I notices that fastest route is chosen.
   I always watch for alternatives if there is a similar time but shorter version.
   Wery ofter is similar time (for example 20minutes faster vis highway, 23 minutes via road), but via high way is 30 km, via normal road is 15km. Difference in consumprion is huge, difference in time is acceptable, even if I calculate the price of my time.

   If you calculate best way based on "price", optimal way will be better.

   Solution: calculate price of people time (for example 10USD for an hour) and 0,1 USD for one kilometer. Best price is the best way.
   Great would be is the user could change these values.

   Many thanks
   Petr

10. I have several ideas

    First I have been through 2 permanent speed cameras Waze did not warn me about. Although it might say turn in 300 metres, I have no conception of distance and if a few streets are close I don’t know which one and It needs to tell you to turn here about 2 secs earlier then it does I miss streets and need to be in other lanes to turn esp. in the city where there are lots of one way streets and turn only lanes. I’m on iPhone and I hate that it turns off Siri google DOES NOT work on iPhone. It needs to let Apple use Siri. It tells me I’m at the location houses away. It needs to tell you which side of the road it’s on and the number..”you have arrived at 6 bob st, you’re destination is on the left.” Or something when you get there.. I like that it reminds me a few times where I’m going and unlike G maps knows what my turnoff is called.its also louder so I can actually hear it, but I’m not sure it takes traffic into account and reroute around the worst of it.. it will put me in standstill traffic on s highway instead of taking back streets. I can’t plot several locations and decide myself what order to take I have to plot my route in the other app and put it in one by one but the only way I can use this app is if I also run the other app behind it so I have them both talking... to be honest both together are almost perfect but separately they both have issues... you need to be able to report permanent cameras and police etc via voice which may be possible on a google friendly phone, I’m not sure because I will get fined for touching my phone to report things... I don’t like that others can see my speed if I use that part of the app so I can watch my speed. Can authorities access that info ever??? Because I do speed sometimes and I don’t want others seeing or recording my speed...

11. police car detection

    scenario,
    you are driving to work every day, so you obviously don't need a navigation app open to show you the way, but you also want to be aware of police cars.

    I was going to work one time and as soon as I plugged my phone into my car, google maps gave me a notification something like "work is 15 mins drive" which means it knows roughly when I leave for work and it is sure its work cause its the same time always.

    so idea is, even when the user isn't using the app, Waze or google knows they are going to work, Waze should watch out if there are any police cars on the way and alert the user.

12. Waze CarPlay glitch

    When navigating in the background on Waze via Apple CarPlay, and trying to change music on Spotify in CarPlay, if I approach a turn, Waze starts popping up prompting me to return to Waze and see the map. However, when it's a simple instruction like "turn right ahead," I will try to minimize the navigation without viewing the map so I can continue selecting music. But the pop up WILL NOT STOP until I click it and go back to Waze to see the map - there is literally no way to ignore the navigational pop ups when trying to do something else like pick a song, make a phone call, send a text, etc.

    Makes me extremely frustrated and seems like a programming issue. If I've read the instructions and am making the turn etc, I should be able to just click the "back" button to send the pop up away and resume what I was doing

14. Car Play

    responding to krzycholub on 09.01.2023 01:25 PM:

    Yesterday afternoon was a terrible day for traffic in the NY/NJ area. Waze had routed me to use Challenger Road and local roads to get from the NJTPKE North to 46E toward the GWB. The left turn to 46 E was blocked by multiple police cars. Considering that I had spent 10-15 minutes following directions only to be re-routed again, I wanted to let someone know. I couldn’t locate a quick way on the app (when I am using the Apple Car Play screen) to indicate that routing was no longer allowed. It happened again 3 times in Ft Lee as well, but I was being waved on by police so fast I couldn’t take any eyes off the road long enough to warn other drivers.

    I would love an extremely quick-to-access one-touch indicator that shows up on Car Play, whether placed in the traffic or hazard area, when a normal turn is temporarily blocked.

    This is all we can access - cid:42E693B4-E6B2-4E20-B648-D1FA28B96C1A

15. Petrol station prices

    I use this app every day http://itunes.apple.com/it/app/prezzi-benzina/id373044013?mt=8 to find a the best petrol station in terms of price.
    From my point of view, this app should be integrated in Waze.

16. Turn Signal about 200 feet sooner. 350 Feet Perfect!!

    I was using Waze and I was having issues with the turn signal at 150 ft. I was missing turns. I drive for Uber. Please give me another 200 feet like google. 350 feet is perfect I'm not distracted by watching the Waze GPS.
    At 350 feet I know it's time to slow down and put my blinker on. Now Waze gives the signal to turn at 150 feet I have to put my blinker on and turn immediately. I've missed a few turns. I feel it is unsafe when driving at Rush Hour or through crowded areas like Jersey City.
    Please give us the 350 feet and I know they're other people out there would agree. 150 feet is unsafe. Please help and make the change.

    Dear Waze.. where do you get off? Taking away helicopter take was like taking away freedom from us Americans. How dare you take away that sweet beautiful helicopter tank of mine. Do you know what grinds my gears ways you and your absurd obsession with taking control of my GPS in map needs. Take this as an act of aggression and war will follow. Mess with the bull ha ha you’re about to find out where these horns can go and let me tell your partner I don’t think you’re gonna enjoy it very much. It doesn’t have to be like this Waze we can sign a peace treaty and go back to being a happy couple that only has sex every three months when the babysitter can watch the kids if you can just bring back the helicopter tank please bring back my sweet helicopter tank please Waze I’m begging you. Like you beg me to take you to that coldplay concert and God dammit I took you to it. Don’t leave me in the cold waze do what’s right save this world bring back helicopter tank.

19. WiFi for CarPlay/AndroidAuto and Phone for Data

    The key point here is that
    I HAVE NOT SUBSCRIBED TO MY CAR's ONSTAR DATA PLAN

    1. my iPhone is able to connect to the car over WiFi for Apple Car Play
    2. Waze is able to operate through "WiFi Car Play" on my car's infotainment system
    3. This is key: THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE A DATA PLAN. So while I'm connected to the car's local area network (LAN) my phone does not have wide area network (WAN) data through the car's WiFi.
    4. Since the phone is connected to the car over WiFi, Waze thinks it should have WAN data and doesn't try any other method like the phone's 5G connection. Since the WiFi is LAN-only, Waze does not have a voice for turn information and it does not have any crowd-sourced information.

    It would be great if Waze could test for WAN data over WiFi and if it finds there is nothing there it switches to 5G for data. It can stay connected to WiFi for CarPlay, but get the data to operate separately. Maybe you could create an on/off switch for this in the settings so people can choose.

    My only work around is to connect by wire and continue to turn off my phone's WiFi so that it doesn't try to connect to the WiFi CarPlay. If Waze could do Car Play over WiFi and separately data over 5G this would be much better.

20. Increase the size of the text a number is a routes etc

    Is there anyway to increase the text size because if looking at the road driving at night and then switching to look at your phone inside the car; the print is very small and it can take me a couple seconds to actually read it correctly. This includes numbers as well as written text. The routes and the exits are sooo small & unclear. If they were larger it would be easier to switch from watching the road to Waze and then back to the road especially at night.
