Please add a voice command where I can mute and un-mute navigation guidance.
For the next Waze Update, please add more voice commands. For example include a voice command where I can mute and un-mute navigational assistance. Also, would it be possible to dictate the address of your next destination?
Does anyone else have any more suggestions for additional voice commands?
15 votesGreat news! The voice command to Turn on / off voice directions is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Time zone adjustment
Waze should adjust ETA to the local time when destination is a different time zone. When you leave Phoenix for southwest CO, for example, the ETA should be in mountain time, not AZ time. Currently, the ETA only adjusts when your phone automatically adjusts as you cross the time zone. It would be nice to know drive time is 6 hours, but ETA is 7 hours due to time change.

Waze calculates time to leave, sends reminder to leave, so I can be at "x" on time
Waze calculates what time I should leave and sends a notification (text, etc), based on current traffic and what time I would like to be at my final destination.
Example:
I have to pick up a friend at 5PM, but I am still at work. Waze sends me a note, predicting that I should leave by 4:25PM to arrive at my friend's location for approx 5PM.49 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

CarPlay update
Waze is super useful in car over my cellphone (iPhone)
However, once plugged into my car with CarPlay, the experience is worst that ever. In fact, the CarPlay interface of the app does not support all functions offered in the mobile version such as :
1. Unable to signify a fixed radar photo
2. Unable to specify the police specification (visible, hide, opposite side)
3. Unable to launch a SOS and so on
In fact, the types of available notices is so small.In addition, you can’t find a gas station easily as in the app cause you don’t…

Let to use keyboard (as passanger) on Android Auto
As a user, I would like to have with Android Auto the same option as with Apple CarPlay to use the keyboard as a passenger.
Currently, while I'm driving with family f.e. on a highway in my country it's illegal to stop on the side of the road. So I'm not able to enter the destination address while in motion. My wife as a passenger has to plug out my phone from USB and enter it manually and plug it in again. It's just plain stupid. It's not even a security option if I have to use my phone to…

More informative map or interactive.
It would be convenient if you can see how’s the weather over there( your destination) and a cool feature like a altimeter to see how high you are.

Car pointer is in the other side of the screen
The problem is that when i use Waze on my car multimedia which is android, the pointer of the car is located on the right of the screen and on the left there is the search bar, I was trying to hide the search bar so the pointer is more in the center of the screen but could't find a solution. Its very inconvenient when you drive a left wheel drive vehicle and the pointer is on the passanger side. Hope you find a solution. I can share a picture if you need it, thanks!

Add divided street option
Waze doesn't differentiate when a street has a median that blocks the ability to get to a destination. Add another option similar to elevation or direction but that requires Waze to navigate to the other driving direction for the street. This would allow editors to update Waze streets without having to split them for the same functionality.

CarPlay Alert Buttons
When using CarPlay the alert buttons that pop up are thin and vertically stacked. With the motion of the car these are very hard to hit accurately. I believe about half of my Thanks or Not There button presses are wrong. Switch to Taller side by side buttons. There is generally less horizontal motion of the car, and this should result in fewer errors.

The colors of the route for an interim stop vs the destination are too similar, they should be easier to distinguish at a glance.
The colors of the route for an interim stop vs the destination are too similar, they should be easier to distinguish at a glance. Especially when they loop back on each other or there are u-turns, etc.. It's like one is blue-purple and the other is purple-blue. They should be completely different color families. You don't want to have your eyes off the road so long trying to figure out if you're following the correct color.

Hazard Locations
Hazards are currently listed as "on my side" or "the other side". Many hazards are in the median - I'd like to see that as an option.
4 votesThank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being. Adding more and more options to reporting, especially for less popular types of reports such as other side which will also require another window/card, is not something we are aiming for at the moment. Please be aware that other side reporting is already available by voice using the Google Assistant! We believe investing in voice can create essentially a better and more scalable experience and we hope to bring it to more languages soon.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Remove permanent "where to" and "my Waze" fields when phone is horizontal.
I use Waze with my phone in a horizontal/landscape position. All is good if I set a location target and use Waze to guide me to it. But I sometimes I like to see the traffick volume without setting a destination. In this mode, Waze takes up a third of my map display with the "where to" and "my Waze" fields. I should be able to turn those off or they should auto disappear.

Motorcycle Horizontally Mounted Phone
Dear Waze Team,
I use Waze on my motorcycle and would like to make two suggestions to improve Waze for all motorcyclists. I mount my phone horizontally on my motorcycle handlebar. But the problem I experienced with the phone being mounted horizontally is that the map on Waze is not completely visible.
The search destination bar at the botton of the screen is covering a lot of the map when there is no destination entered. Would it be possible to make a small enter destination button at the side of the screen for example below or above the speedometer instead…

Add a positive feedback notification on choosing a path that actually brought you faster to your destination.
Drivers are debating between several alternative routes and are always swayed whether the choice was right. Would the alternate routes bring me faster? Did I do the right decision?
If indeed the route chosen was the fastest in real time compared to alternate routes, not only in theory, would be extremely fun to get a message saying that the choice was the right one and saved X minutes.
This feature gives a great, satisfying feeling, strengthens your choice and gives confidence and trust in the app.

OBJECT IN ROAD
Need a very specifc alert for object in road. HAZARD REPORTED AHEAD is 90% of the time a car on the side of the road. There should be a verbal alert for objects. MUCH not important than a disabled car on the side of the road. Sample "OBJECT IN ROAD REPORTED AHEAD -CENTER LANE Now that's information we can use!

I'd like to turn off the notification for a car on the side of the road but still listen to Rodger Federer's voice
The Car on the side of the road ding is so loud and obnoxious that I don't want to hear it. I still want to listen to the voice guidance. Please, either get rid of the ding or give me the choice to turn off alerts and still have the voice guidance.

Multi-Stop Route Planning
Overview:
Waze currently allows users to set a single destination at a time, requiring them to manually input a new route after reaching their first stop. This can be time-consuming and inefficient, especially for users who need to make multiple stops in one trip.
Proposed Feature:
Enable users to set a route with multiple destinations in advance. Instead of navigating only from Point A to Point B, users will be able to plan a route such as:
A → B → C → D
Waze will automatically guide them from one stop to the next without requiring manual input…51 votes -
Tow Mode
I often tow a trailer for work, and use Waze to go everywhere - but often time saving routes will take me down side streets and laneways that are narrow and difficult to navigate with a trailer. Same would apply for touring with a caravan.
It would be awesome to have a mode that minimizes tight turns, side streets or intersections without traffic lights.
