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.

police
Hi a lot of the time there's not enough notice of a up-coming police / radar trap. I think this is caused by the fact that when a user enters the location they have driven at least 250/350 meters past the actual location. Please increase the warning to maybe 1 klm

'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 -

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. -
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.

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 -
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.

Highway turn arounds on Map
There are "turn arounds" on highways for authorized vehicles and many police sit there. My GPS shows these turn arounds but Waze does not. I can't use Waze as a GPS replacement because this is extremely valuable information. If the police are using instant on radar or lidar there are times when just knowing these are ahead is invaluable. Saved me more than a few times. It is the only thing the Maps are missing.

Allow sharing of (or automatically display) sports events, concerts, and other planned events that are likely to cause traffic on your route
On my commute home I often pass by a professional baseball stadium and a professional basketball court/ice hockey rink. I don't always check the schedule ahead of time and Waze often routes me directly in front of one or the other of these events. The traffic (pedestrian and auto both) can be terrible. It would be nice to know in advance that this is en-route and/or be able to re-route around such events so I can get home safe and sound.

Individual Volume Settings
Please implement a dedicated sound/volume setting allowing for volume to be increased to as loud or as low as wanted. Some vehicles and devices are having issues selecting louder volume for Waze, especially when using other infotainment features like Bluetooth music or CarPlay.

I (Lior Vitebski) want to be one of the wazes voice on the app.
I want to be one of the voices of waze in the app (not the creatable one), but just to be in the app with a high quality sound, because if I will do a customized voice, or create a new own voice, the recorded sound quality is horrible!)
If you want to test me how my voice will sound, feel free to send me an email. My email is: vitebski05@gmail.com.
Thanks a lot,

Increase the menu arrow on Android Auto
When using Waze on Android Auto, the arrow to the menu "Routes, Stop, Search Sound" should be bigger; it's too tiny for us to be sure that is already selected (without having a touchscreen unit) during the day, especially bright ones, during the drive.

Ideias para facilitar a vida dos motoristas
Olá,
Venho por meio deste email trazer sugestão para melhoria do aplicativo, pois utilizo diariamente. Bom a primeira sugestão é poder colocar aviso por exemplo de acidente blitz em qualquer lugar no mapa, poder mover o mapa e colocar a informação pois muitas das vezes passamos por um acidente e não dá tempo de mexer no aplicativo ou está sem rede.
Segundo: colocar uma opção de informar o motorista que ira passar pelo radar acima da velocidade por exemplo um apito até o motorista diminuir a velocidade.
Terceiro: sou motorista de uber e uso o waze todo dia e toda…3 votes -
Pause playback during audio alerts (for audiobooks)
Currently the Waze sounds turn the volume of whatever is playing the background down, causing me to miss words of audiobooks. Add an option for "Audiobook mode" to pause playback during Waze alerts/navigation voice.
