I have a problem in the last couple of months. The time to the destination informatios has been hidden regularly from the screen.
I think the Time to the destination information is one of the most imporrant for the users. Would be great to keep it all time on the screen as it was in the past

Routes should default to Map View instead of List View
Upon setting a destination and clicking Routes, I would like the default view to be Maps instead of List. Please make this an option.

display only live-info and events relevant to the current route
Add option, that would:
- enforce event pop-ups (such as accidents, etc.) to show only if they happen on the current route to destination (no need to se events in radius when not on the route)
- display only number of events (under the icon with the red excl. mark) relevant to the current route to destination (this would help user open the live info only when there is a number indicating something going on on the route799 votes -
when driving fast on highway, don't show side streets
When driving fast on a highway, the side streets and names clutter the screen and are not necessary. Removing them would probably also save data usage.

Please create a route delivery option that will guide drivers to The docking side of a building. This will save time for drivers.
As a route driver I often use Waze especially when visiting a new customer. I have noted that Waze will always guide one to the front of the building which is not always convenient when doing deliveries. I suggest that you create a “deliveries option” for people like me. Creating a second address option for each destination i.e guiding route drivers to the docking side of the building would save time for drivers that are often on tight time schedules. This option I believe may lead to increased user demand for Waze by people like me.

Could you please have Waze send to correct side of the street, weather you drive a car or a bus , more safe to be on correct side
When you put in address Waze should send you to correct side of the street, weather you drive a car or bus it is more safe that making a U Turn, especially in a but where you cannot turn around.

CHANGE THE ORANGE BUTTON ON THE RIGHT SIDE, IT BURED MY PHONES SUPER AMOLD SCREEN WHEN DRIVING A LOT.
PLEASE MAKE THE RIGHT SIDE ORANGE BUTTON SO IT NOT BURNED SUPER AMOLD SCREEN.
SOMTHING LIKE CHANGIN COLOR1 voteThank you for your suggestion!
The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Alert police on both sides of the road
Currently, waze only provides an alert when approaching police on the same side of the road. In Australia, police will check vehicle speed in both directions. Waze should have the option to provide alerts when approaching police on the opposite side of the road.

Shoresy from Letterkenny

Visualize BEST TIME TO LEAVE for a given destination (red to green). Save time if you know the peaks.
Problem
You know where to go, but want to know what would be the best time to leave to avoid peak traffic.
At the moment you a ETA, which is nice to know but doesn't help you to plan.Idea
You plan a route, get an ETA and a option to choose the best time for leaving. Could be a color coded (green to red) 24h hour-by-hour "forecast" of expected travel time (graph or simple list). This could include current traffic situation for the next few hours, averages for the rest. Also the next 2 hours could be split into…25 votes -
More visibility in a landscape mode (tilted screen)
Waze is great, I like to keep it running without any navigation / destination. In mobile's landscape mode (tilted screen) there is menu + search bar that takes about a half of the screen. Please make it as a pop up when touched or as a slider from the bottom/side of the screen. The visibility is close to none even with my 6.7" screen.

There are no streets near the destination - Map Problem
When we have a location registered in Waze or Google and there are no nearby streets that can route the user there, Waze displays the error: Could not locate end point
My suggestion is that Waze should map Google/Waze locations, identify those that are too far from a street, and create a Map Problem (MP) in the Waze map editor so that we can check whether the street needs to be drawn or whether to simply close the MP as unidentified.

When entering a time to arrive at a destination. Reminder options should be available to be 10-15min before based on live traffic conditio
When entering a time to arrive at a destination. Reminder options should be available to be 10-15min before based on live traffic condition. Letting me know to leave right now will make me late

Upgrade the "Add a Stop" function to sort the destinations (gas, food, coffee) from closest to farthest
Upgrade the "Add a Stop" function to sort the destinations (gas, food, coffee) from closest to farthest.
Right now, if you are in the midst of a long trip and click "Add a stop" and ask see options (for food or gas or coffee) you see locations near your destination.
Suggestion is to add distance options, like "show closests first".
What good is a gas station that is 125 miles away? ;)12 votes -
Add the capability to request assistance when you are the "vehicle on the side or the road"
Many times when driving and passing vehicles that are stopped on the side of the road, i am often inclined to stop and offer assistance. Many times i have stopped just to find out it is something I can not assist with or something for which they already have help on the way for. It would be nice if you have to pull over, you can self report the vehicle on the side of the road and specify if you could use some assistance or not. Like: need help changing a tire, engine trouble, don't have a phone-need a tow,…

Make Waze AUTO sleep after 5 sec when Power is UNpluged while in the App
Make a setting to make Waze AUTO sleep after 5 sec(or X sec, normal Waze countdown style Ok/Cancel box) when Power is UNpluged while in the app. This could be further improved with a "only within 5 mins of reaching a destination" setting.
I think everyone that have Waze in the car has the phone on acc power and it would be so nice not to have to remember to Sleep Waze EVERY time I get to my destination.
31 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Add Shortcut to "Vehicle Stopped On Side of Road"
I found a post from 2016 asking for this and it still hasn't been implemented!
There should be a shortcut on the navigation screen to send a "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder" report with a single click.
This is, by far, the most common type of report and it currently requires FIVE button presses - all of them while looking down at the screen. A user-configurable single-click report button would be even better, but a "Vehicle Stopped On Shoulder" button would be a massive improvement to the current 5-clicks.
This has been suggested many, many times over the past many years,…
