Report cop or accident on other side of the road through carplay
I love being able to use Waze through carplay, but I miss some of the features when you use it without carpaly. Reporting cops, hazards, or accidents on the other side of the road are important I feel. Can they please be added??

Add estimated battery percentage when arriving at destination (for electric cars)
Via Google Maps in my electric car (Volvo xc 40) I see an estimated battery percentage at arrival. The app is installed on the car itself, not car play. I would love this functionality in Waze.

Improving the flexibility to adjust starting point/destination
As of now, the user must head to the “Plan a drive” feature in order to plan a route starting from a different location of his current location. In addition, to actually see the route and it’s milestones, the user have to complete the flow for “Plan a drive”, save it and then click on it again. Only then the route is showing up..
It is not intuitive at all.My suggestion is this-
After opening the app, the user is simply choosing a location (not through the “Plan a drive” flow) using the search box on the top. Once…1 vote -
CHANGE STOPPING SIDE OF VEHICLE IN AUSTRALIA.
When using WAZE to follow mapping for directions to an address in Australia. Currently the Waze system calculates the stop with the right side of vehicle at the stop meaning vehicles either park illegally or have to make an adjustment to stop. In Australia we are meant by law to stop on the LEFT side of the carriageway to park etc, NOT the right.

Rideshare Pickup and Dropoff on Right Side of Road
I use Waze for rideshare, and would be great to have an option in taxi mode to be routed where I drop off or pick up a passenger on the right side of the road. This would be a good option as long as it doesn’t take me too far out of the way. I guess in some countries the left side may be preferred.

Change notification buttons from horizontal to vertical so they are side by side. "Still there" on the left and "Not there" on the right.
Change notification buttons from horizontal to vertical so they are side by side. "Still there" on the left and "Not there" on the right.
It is difficult to select the button because to the up and down motion of the car when using Android Auto. Making the "still there" and "not there" side by side would make it easier to select and less likely to accidentally cancel a report.2 votes -
1. 1. When I am driving to a destination in another time zone, please show the ETA of that time Zone.
- When I am driving to a destination in another time zone, please show the ETA of that time Zone. (2) When I driving along Interstate highways, and am looking for a Coffee or eating place along the Route, it is usually looking ahead. I don't want to drive back 20 miles to have a coffee. I am looking for a Coffee stop ahead. (3) Show rest stops as most other apps do. (4) Show Traffic Lights and gas stations

More info in notification text (e.g. ETA, distance to destination, etc.)
A lot of time I have waze in the background and just listen for audio reports of hazards, etc. However, I also like to know my ETA. I think it would be useful to put the ETA, and perhaps other information, in the persistent Android notification. Right now it just says "waze ... return to waze" which isn't really useful. If the ETA were in the notification, I could check it without having to open the app, and then go back to whatever else I was looking at.

Possibility to edit destination address
I'm a taxi driver and can suggest the next improvement:
It will be very useful to have possibility to edit address after select it from the list that appears while input the street name. Also it will be helpful to have possibility to edit the address of the current route (sometime it nessessary to change just the street number while driving) and from history list.
No problems if WAZE will recalculate the route after edit address.
Best regards.3 votes -

Contact Sync & Automatic Call Trigger Based on Destination Arrival
Feature Proposal for Waze
Contact Sync & Automatic Call Trigger Based on Destination Arrival
Background & Problem
Many drivers frequently navigate to destinations that are the home addresses of people they know (friends, family members, clients). Upon arrival, drivers often need to:
Search for the contact on their phone
Manually place a call
Or send a message to notify arrival
These actions are often performed while driving or during short stops and lead to:
Dangerous distractions
Unnecessary time loss
A fragmented arrival experience within the navigation flow
Proposed Solution
A built-in Waze feature that enables smart synchronization between contacts…1 vote -

Favoris : permettre d'avoir des sous-dossier pour les classer. "amis". Destination boulot". "Commerce" etc
Je suis chauffeur de cars et j'enregistre des arrêts pour m'y retrouver en cas de problème (route barrée etc...).
Je passe donc beaucoup de temps à classer mes "favoris"... Qui se retrouvent bien souvent en vrac. je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais au moins maintenant on peut les renommer.
Bref s'il y avait dans "Favoris" des dossiers, je pourrais éviter que le lieu d'habitation de mes amis personnels, ou ceux de centres commerciaux que je fréquente souvent se retrouvent allégrement mélangés en vrac avec les quelques…4 votes -
Waze ask if “Have you arrived at your destination?”. Very important in urban settings and with one-way streets!
Waze to ask “Have you arrived at your destination?” before stopping navigation. When searching for parking especially in urban locations and one-way streets you may drive past your final destination multiple times, and losing navigation can be very frustrating.

Waze needs to remember start/destination. When I flag an issue, I can't recall because I route 30 stops a day
Have Waze keep in short-term memory or allow your volunteer troubleshooters to look at a full route when addressing a mapping issue brought to Waze attention by the driver/app user. I make 20-30 stops a day, and when I later get around to making a complaint, I cannot remember the exact order I made the stops to give your troubleshooters the original / destination. I've stopped pointing out mapping issues and driving direction problems because it is a waste of my time.

Location marker
When you are about to reach your destination, a black and white checkered circle with a red location marker appears at the top of the page. It would be helpful if the red location marker could be either on the left or the right side of the black and white checkered circle depending on which side of the street your destination is.

Avoid parkways or truck route option
Does Waze offer an option for Truck Routes? I travel frequently on Long Island, NY and I have a cargo trailer on my SUV... Waze directs me onto parkways and I can't take parkways with the trailer.
Also, it would be wonderful if, when approaching your destination, Waze would tell you if it was on the right or left side of the street.32 votes -
To be able to see favorites (gas stations, businesses) enroute to a destination.
You're on a trip and you'd like to stop for coffee or gas at a favourite company on the way to a destination but you don't want to see locations behind you or out of the way.
