Share route and location with friends.
Give an option to share not only your route but also your location on that route with your friends. This would be a safety feature. In the event that you don't make it to your destination, your friend could see your location. This idea is inspired by the loss of a fellow student who was in a one vehicle accident on her way home to visit for the weekend. Her car ended up under a bridge and she was not found for three days. With a safety feature that allows sharing of your actual location as you follow your…

Increase visibility area in landscape mode.
While using waze on my smartphone (Samsung Galaxy Note 3), the device is on its side. I like to see the map in landscape mode. With the new update (version 4.0.0.2 installed) any warnings and the display of the names of streets COVERS a big part of the map. I suggest to enlarge the área of the map shown in landscape mode for smartphones at least.

After setting your destination, set the tabindex to the GO button.
When you finally tell waze to navigate, it has this additional pop up. The popup does not have the hightlight/active button on the go button (to start navigating), but on the favorite (star) button. This is unintuitive. I had to use the dial while driving, hopefully find the GO button, and then press enter to start the navigation instead of just pressing enter in one go.

Add option to make restrictions visible similar to closures
This goes together with a suggestion on the WME side to add a check box in WME.
Since there is no easy way to add closures based on a schedule, there are times it would be nice to have restrictions that can be scheduled show in the app similar to a closure. That way someone driving without a route will have the visual cue like a closure.

Passenger Train Tracking for Waze Users Riding Trains
Put railroad tracks on maps, and allow passengers on trains to see when it is estimated they will arrive at destination. I used Waze while on a train, and it was cool to see my speed, but it kept trying to mark my position on highways.

Notice Dialogs
Notices (car on side of road, etc.) that have a 'not there' or 'thanks' should allow tapping on either half of the whole dialog rather than just in the smaller buttons at the bottom of the dialog. It takes too much 'attention' to hit the button while driving.

The salesman algorithm
you enter than one more destination , then waze find the shortest path between all these destinations , exactly such as the salesman algorithm , this will be useful for many companies such as fedex , salesman , and other people that use this daily such as going to bank,post,supermarket so it finds for you the shortest path.

If no route chosen, hide previous drives menu so i can see the map.
There is a menu of previous drives that pops up when Android Auto (using Waze) starts up. If I don't choose a destination on that menu (or, create a new destination) after I'm underway please minimize the previous drive destinations so I can see the map. This drive I don't need guidance, but would still like to see the map. Thanks

Driving to catch a flight
Imagine you are off on holiday. Perhaps hiring a car to drive to your destination after catching a flight. You could put your ultimate destination in to Waze and the airport / flight you are going to take.
Waze could keep you up to date on your departure while you're driving to the airport. (and advise on a departure time from your origin). It can update your friends of your progress.
It could keep your ETA up to date with your friends by cross-referencing the flight information and expected arrival time. (It could probably show your approx location based on…

Add ability to report gas prices
It would be nice if users could report gas prices... This would attract a LOT more wazers.
I don't mind having to manually enter the data, but reporting it could be as simple as taking a pic of the price sign with your phone, and on the server side, it gets interpreted and organized into grade of gas and price.
Wazers will then be able to search filtering out stations that have (or don't have) diesel, or if your vehicle requires higher octane, one will be able to filter out specific details to match their needs.

Motorcycle mode view
When using motorcycle mode it would be nice to have all the buttons on the left side since the left hand is the only one safe to use while riding. Also maybe personalize this view for motorcycle use, only when a motorcycle vehicle is selected.

Alert while not in navigation
It would be great that Waze can alert you even if you are not enter the route so if you just launch the app and start driving.
You won’t enter destination and selecting route if you’re driving to work every day but you still can get the ticket for speeding..3 votes -
Showing visuals for vehicles that hold up traffic would make things so much better
Show a visual of where sanitation trucks, school buses, fire trucks, etc are on the map so you can take alternative routes to get to your destination much quicker.

Update the car play / android auto app of Waze
Waze should be updated for car play user and android auto. We do not have full functionalities like the iOS or android mobile app. For example we can only report police, not hides ones or in the opposite side. Same for errors in the map, we can’t add a commentary if we use car play for example. All iOS and android fonctionnalités should be added to car play and android auto to have a 100% good,experience.

Thank 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. -
Landscapes near you and you did not know about their existence
On an excursion in Europe between Germany and Austria and Switzerland, we reached our destination, like any destination. But it is also important to enjoy the road and breathtaking scenery. Sometimes it's worth stopping for a moment .. (That's how the idea came about)
Sharing landscape photos (located on / near the route I'm going through) of users will help those who do not know the area, reach the landscape that is on my route. Stop for a moment and watch from the vehicle and then continue on a trip
It will be possible to operate it as…
