keep directions on the screen
Using Waze is for directions of not knowing where to go so I think you need to go back to the small alerts on the screen instead of taking up the directions spot and having them disappear. It’s very frustrating trying to find your way through a city you’ve never driven in before when the directions keep disappearing to alert you that there’s a car on the side of the road.
33 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Afficher les feux de circulation et les arrets
Je souhaiterais qu Waze tout comme le fait PLAN indique sur le trajet les feux de circulation, les insignes de STOP et si notre destination se trouve à droite ou à gauche. C’est extrêmement pratique .

multiple access points
Multiple access points:
Some destinations can be approached from multiple gates. The route and arrival time to those gates may differ significantly, however, the destination is the same.
Please add the possibility (for starters to work destination) to add multiple gates and navigate me to whatever gate would result in the fastest travel.Example: My office complex has large underground garage with 3 gates and I don't care which one will I use the enter. There are lots of one-ways and going from one gate to another can take 5-10 minutes by car.

Interface suggestion
When asking if police or disabled car on side of the road, perhaps separate the “still there” and “not there” buttons. Perhaps one on the top and one on the bottom. Sometimes I accidentally click the wrong button as the car is bumpy and the buttons are too close together. FYI. This is on Apple CarPlay.

Forced Landscape mode
For use with a HUD display that displays as the orientation is on the phone. If it's in the portrait mode it will only fill portrait in the middle of the screen. If you turn the phone on it's side it fills the screen in the landscape mode but. If you have a forced landscape mode, you can orientate the phone in portrait but Waze would be in Landscape and display as landscape on the HUD screen. This would be great. Kind of like keeping it in the night mode instead of auto. Night mode works better with HUD displays.…

Multiple waypoints
When travelling to a destination Anna need to be there by a certain time, it would be useful when planning your trip if you could identify the time you must leave and know the time you should arrive at each waypoint. I’d picking up friends from multiple locations, you could tell each one what time to be waiting is multiple waypoints are allowed. Currently, I have to work that out manually.

Essential + Limited voice navigation during phone call
When making phone calls in the car, voice navigation can be highly distracting, yet it's still important to have critical turn-by-turn navigation when you're headed to an unfamiliar destination.

Enhanced Hazard Reporting by adding "Affecting Flow of Traffic" option
Everybody has seen a car on the side of the road but how many of those are actually affecting the flow of traffic? People post them to gain points but often times it is not useful information.

Matt Berry Voice Navigation
Matt Berry Voice Navigation
Esteemed actor, musician, performer, and artist, Matt Berry, would make a stupendous addition to the Waze program and community. With a confident, sultry, and seductive presence, Matt Berry would guide thousands of drivers to their destinations in the comfort of his soothing, tenor voice.
We, the people, recognize that Matt Berry is busy with his numerous endeavors and that Waze has countless features they strive to add to an already vigorous navigation system. It is with this in mind that we humbly suggest a few lines pulled from his revered catalog of work along with…

Add notes to each leg of a journey (drive)
When I arrive at my destination, Waze prompts me to add additional data to the drive. e.g. a category of "Business" or "Personal", comments such as "Meeting with Joe Bloggs". By combining with https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=819&t=223951&start=0 Waze becomes a great journey logger for expense claims

adjust hazard reporting to include where the problem is, IE left Shu
Location of Hazard/Accident: It would be extremely helpful to be able to identify where a Hazard or Accident is IE: Left or Right Shoulder, Left or Right Lane or Center lane. This would allow wazers to adjust there positioning on the road to get through the problem area quicker by knowing to stay on the opposite side of where the problem has been reported.

Android Auto Coolwalk View Tile
I was happy to see that Waze could now do split screen on Android Auto. My only feedback so far is if you are using Waze for navigation the "next step" at the top and the estimated ETA at the bottom take up a big portion of the screen. The next step at the top covers the up coming route. On the full screen you are still able to see the route ahead and any upcoming issues. When using the split screen view in Coolwalk before setting a destination the top right quarter of my screen defaulted to quick access…

Dangerous directions
I have been directed to cross very busy boulevards from side streets without traffic lights. Very dangerous and often impossible. Most recent example sent me north on Carson street in Beverly Hills to cross Wilshire Blvd - extremely unsafe without a traffic light.

add option to disable traffic based routing
When routing, waze often attempts to route around traffic. Waze is used occasionally for just the first part of a journey (navigating a downtown area, for example) and I find it selecting a completely different route every time I use it because it attempts to route around the traffic at work.
Another example is that during extremely heavy traffic in a snowstorm, waze had me exiting at every freeway exit and then entering the freeway again, simply because the freeway exits had little traffic on them compared to the freeway itself.
Because of this, there should be a simpler routing…

Swap the remaining time and distance on the bottom of the display (or make remaining time optional)
I drive an electric car, so remaining distance is important for me, but when I use waze in split screen mode, only the remaining time is visible.
It would be nice if I wouldn't need to enlarge the screen when I want to see the distance to destination.4 votes -
Car care features implemented in to the Waze
Waze could have same kind of an fuctionality as there are in many car care apps in the market.
-Counting mileages and fuel consumption.
-You could set up odometer reading when u should change oil etc etc and Waze could remind you of that.
-When navigating to a far away destination Waze could warn u if gas should run out before you reach there and suggest gas station en route.For example on iPhone there is app called Gas Cubby that can count mileages and costs for running your car but you have to put in mileage and gas price…
