Stop rerouting
Stop rerouting me. I chose the roads I wanted to go on and it kept sending me on different roads. I was out of town so of course I didn't notice it changed me. It should stay on the route I choose and never leave that unless I give permission. I want to choose my own roads and Waze just stay on them. Please and thank you

change speed bump to traffic calming device
There are many different devices used to slow vehicles other than speed bumps. Other examples include chicanes, roundabouts, splitter islands, entrance treatment, speed pillows, speed humps and intersection humps. I'm sure there are others too.
The speed bump permanent hazard would fit all of these other types of methods used to slow vehicles down but if we add a speed bump where there technically isn't a speed bump we confuse the wazer and likely will generate unnecessary URs.
If we changed the name from speed bump to 'traffic calming device' (my suggestion), we easily fit all these slow-down methods and alert with a simple and clear message to the wazer that speed control measures are in effect ahead.
Instead of creating a unique permanent hazard for each of these devices, I instead suggest we broaden the definition the one we already have and change it's name accordingly.
I'm currently working with the city of Sandy Springs, Ga and they employ all of the devices I've mentioned here but I am hesitant to add "speed bump" PH to their chicanes and other devices which are specifically not speed bumps.

Delete the Stop point and continue navigating to final destination
Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove the intermediate point on the route after adding it.
This feature is very much needed.

Starting point
why can't I just press 'your location' after choosing a destination and change where the starting point is, I know if I press leave later I can change the starting point but why not from that point as well?

Support for dimensions and combinations such as caravans
I propose that Waze allows users to save multiple vehicles, each with their own dimensions, including height, width, and length. It should also be possible to add vehicle combinations, such as a car with a caravan or trailer, where the additional dimensions are automatically taken into account during route planning.
Users could then manually select the appropriate vehicle or combination before starting a trip, or Waze could automatically detect the vehicle via CarPlay or Android Auto.
It is essential that Waze takes infrastructure limitations into account—such as bridge heights, narrow roads, sharp turns, and low tunnels—so that any routes that could pose a risk based on the vehicle’s dimensions are automatically avoided. This would make Waze a more reliable option for drivers of larger or specialized vehicles.

An option to show EV charging stations on map
Waze offers an option to indicate EV charging stations in a given area but, in order to access it you need to move out from your map.
It would be great to have the option to show EV charging stations around you while you are driving rather than having to move to a separate page.

Enable Speech-to-Text for Map Update Requests While Driving (via Android Auto and CarPlay)
I would like to suggest an improvement to Waze that would allow users to fill out map update requests (URs) using speech-to-text while driving, particularly when connected through Android Auto or CarPlay.
Currently, when users select a map update option (such as "Incorrect address," "Missing road," or "Speed limit") while driving, there is no way to add a description of the issue. This limits the ability to provide detailed reports and often results in incomplete information being submitted. With speech-to-text functionality, users could quickly and safely dictate descriptions of the problem without having to stop or manually type anything.
For example:
General error: "There’s a detour due to roadwork on Main Street."
Missing road: "There’s a road missing between Maple Ave and Pine St."
Speed limit: "The speed limit is 60 on Highway 10, not 45."
Incorrect address: "The address for 123 Oak St should be 125 Oak St."
This feature would not only make reporting map issues easier and more detailed, but it would also ensure that users can submit accurate information safely while driving. By integrating speech-to-text, Waze could enhance its mapping accuracy without distracting drivers from the road.

Voice warnings about several hazards on the road
Waze has been warning about the next turn during a trip for a long time and this is great. However, there are not only maneuvers on the roads but also different hazards. For example: there is a speed control camera ahead, and an accident happened 50 meters before it. Waze will only warn about one event. This is bad. I suggest voicing such events in order, like turns "Accident ahead, then camera." and other events similarly.

Customise routes according to specific vehicles
Vehicles such as the Citroën Ami, Fiat Topolino or Opel Rocks cannot drive on all city roads because of their low power and the speed limits imposed (45 km/h).
In Rome, for example, you can't drive on a very important road called the 'Tangenziale', or the motorway. This means that using Waze is not an option, as it often sends you to these roads, which are off-limits to small cars.
It would be better if these small vehicles could have other routes so they don't risk getting fined or worse.8 votes -
I suggest making the app works with offline maps.
It’s very useful to make the app working without internet by adding the ability to load offline maps.
Thanks.8 votes -
Hgv mode
I am new to the HGV industry and like many of us it costs a lot to own a satnav. Many of us use Waze and have done for many years it would be good to incorporate a HGV function mode into the app where you can create a profile and have HGV mode and this can help drivers going out buying satnavs and making the Waze app more effective for overall as it can be limited to just cars. HGV’s need to know height restrictions width restrictions and weight limits of roads but this would be a great added feature to the app. I’m sure if there was a small charge to have this feature added there be loads of people that would go for it.

Give editors a method to quickly jump to a chat response from another editor
I literally have thousands of editors that I have chatted with and when one replies, I can see the icon in the top right of my editor screen tells me I have a reply. But to get to it, I must scroll through hundreds (or thousands) of other editors to find the response. Could you make it so I could jump directly to that response?
These are new editors and it's important that we are quick in our response to them.

Rota off-line com as interdições existente.
Olá, gostaria de propor que quando o waze estiver off-line, por qualquer que sege o motivo, que ele permanecesse com as informações de locais com interdição, as vezes cai a conexão e onde tem interdição, ele simplesmente ignora e da toda a rota errada, passando pelos locais com interdição, considerando que passe por locais com interdição, varias vezes ja aconteceu comigo, pensem nisso por favor, @renato-cpfl

passengercar with trailer as option to get realistic eta
Add the option for selecting a passengercar with trailer. Lower speed limits for a car with trailer apply. At this moment where only a car can be selected the estimated time of arrival will be far off. With a trailer to select a much better (realistic) ETA would be given

Voz do MC Fioti
