custom language
Use a pattern of sounds, pings, dings etc. as an alternative to language navigation instructions. For example, instead of saying "in 300 feet, turn right" - provide a moderate-high frequency "ding" sound, which repeats 3 times. It should be carefully designed using expert sound engineers and be reviewed by users. You want it to be minimal and effective and obviously not annoying. After getting used to it, drives will find that they need less attention to process audible signals.

Voice navigation bug
When I in Settings - Sound and Voice turn off sound, in some cases ( for example road warnings, speed cameras) waze send "sound notification" to android, which cause mute music, although waze does not say anything. It is annoying, when I drive in my town, waze is launched only for control my speed (via gps) and sometimes mutes music without any reason. Please, fix this. Thanks.

New speed alert mode
It would be nice if app can get something like new speed limit mode, allerting us (by sound) every 1/2/3 sec about excessed speed limit all the time, until car decrease speed. It will be very helpfull to avoid tickets and points but especially make road more safety.

translations missing for roadworks, radars etc.
translations missing for roadworks, radars etc. It is annoying to have all roads, streets etc. in czech, but roadworks or speed checkings ahead in english.

App integrations
Integrating apps such *** gas buddy for gas prices and other apps such as drive smarter for radar alerts so we don’t have to pick between Waze or some other app

Mood-related noises
Idea: what if you could make a sound based on your mood? Nearby drivers could hear it if they opt to...happy people could "woot" for example.

Mise à jour carte
Bonjour. J'utilise Waze pour tout mes trajets. En vacances en Guadeloupe j'ai signalé un grand nombre de radars, plus d'une dizaine non repérés sur la carte Waze.
Par contre je ne les vois pas apparaître sur la carte Waze lors d'un même trajet effectué quelques jours après alors que je les ai signalés.
Faut il plusieurs signalements de Wazeur pour un même radar ou autres dangers pour que carte soit mise à jour ?
Le rafraîchissement de la carte devrait être plus rapide pour être plus efficace

I would like the app to display speed limits as I drive.
I would like the map navigation to display the speed limit as I drive.
Warning sounds if I exceed limits.
Also the ability to customize how much over the speed limit the warning should sound.
Also, to see the sky into top foreground as it would appear according to earths rotation.1 vote -
Police notifications after the spot
Wish there was a way to move the report location. Many times the police running radar are stopped at a location on the interstate. By the time I get to post the report I've traveled maybe up to a quarter to half mile past the spot. No use to those behind me.

Thank you for your suggestion!
As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!
Want to try another voice?
Tap Menu and tap the Settings wheel.
Tap Voice & sound.
Tap Voice Language and select the voice you’d like to use. -
Waze android auto
There needs to be a way to use Waze on car stereos with Android auto WITHOUT forcing you to use the stereo as a Bluetooth device to answer the phone. I like the sound of my Headset better than the radio sound for calls.

As you may know, Waze is already supported on Android Auto. Stay tuned for more feature updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram -
No vocal instruction is needed for the normal (fastest) route
Assume that I commute to my work every day and if there is no traffic jam, I know what is the best/fastest route and for that I don't need any vocal instruction (to remind me, where to turn left...) In this situation it's only annoying.
The suggestion would be: add an option for "professional commuters" and for the normal fastest way, by default activate "Alerts only" and in case, there is a faster route, then activate "Sound on".

Allow option to use device's TTS voice synthesis
The Waze Android client has a decent sounding voice, but Android users can install 3rd party TTS apps. Please give us the option to choose to use the Android Text To Speech synthesis instead.

For Right Hand Drive countries, give directions from the right speaker.
I live in a RHD country and the directions from Waze come out of the front left hand speaker - which makes perfect sense in the (majority) LHD countries, but is quite hard to hear in certain circumstances.
Either the sound should come equally out of both front speakers or it should be localised so that in LHD countries it comes out of the left speaker, and in RHD countries it comes out of the right speaker so it's closest to the driver.

Waze should delay commands by one or two seconds when iPhone is used through Bluetooth
I use Waze in my car, using my iPhone through Bluetooth so that the sound comes from the car speakers. The problem is, that Waze does not wait for the connection. All commands are partly cut off. For example: "in 1000 feet turn left" is heard as "turn left". Can you program Waze, so that when Bluetooth is used, there is a minor delay, for example 1 or 2 seconds, before the command is spoken. That way I will hear the entire instruction.

'Lets get started'
I usually activate Waze while I'm still at bedroom (morning) or in the office (at EOD) so I can use the WIFI and review the route before getting in the car.
In both cases, I don't want to wake up my souse and kids in the morning nor notify the whole office that I'm leaving soon, but the starting navigation notice sound "Route is ready, let's get started" does just that !!
There's really no need for that so it should be totally removed or at least allow the user to disable it permanently, without the need to silence the …1 vote -
safe routes
Dear,
I write them because I love the app, however when I use the app at night, I would like it to include safe routes, I know that for you may sound strange, but in my country there are routes that during the night in certain points of the city is Extremely dangerous to go through assaults, robberies or kidnappings. It would be interesting to be able to work on creating safer but less efficient routes alternatives when you deem it convenient.I hope you like my idea and I love working on it.
Best regards.
