Location alert
Sound an alert telling me that I am coming up to a speed trap (a location I have put in)
I would enter the location of a known speed trap and get a warning before I get there. The location of that speed trap remains in the system unless I remove it.

Motorcycle intercom
While using Waze on my motorcycle I can't hear the prompts on my intercom for directions while talking to my pillion passenger via the intercom . As to what I've searched online there's a setting to make Wazes sound act like a phone call using a play sound via setting but on android I can't find it . But that's the only way I'd be able to hear the direction prompts as it would interrupt my intercom an give me audio directions

Scottish voices
Please please please can we have the following options for voices Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness, Highlands accented voices with dialects. If you are from these areas and far from home then it’s a big thing to hear a familiar sounding voice. Currently there is not one Scottish voice at all and we feel left out

Incluir novamente a possibilidade do usuário waze avisar os demais usuários da existência de radares. Recurso existente anteriormente e canc
Anteriormente existia um ícone onde o usuário podia avisar aos demais usuários sobre a existência de radares, fixos ou móveis.
A legislação mudou a partir de 01/11/2020.
Dessa forma o aviso da existência de radares não é ilegal.3 votes -
Wouldn't it be great to be able to exclude a freeway or particular road from your planned route?
I already summed it up in the title, you kids are the pros.. But I would love to have more options for routes and options to avoid a freeway or major thoroughfare.
Oh and just an irrelevant side note; that American woman's navigation voice, ug I can't listen to it. She sounds like your mean teacher from middle school- but the American guy is great.

ALERTA PARA FAIXA DUPLA/TRIPLA NA BR -- ALERT FOR DOUBLE/TRIPLE BAND IN BR
Gostaria de sugerir que o aplicativo informe no mapa quando o carro estiver próximo de uma faixa dupla/tripla na BR. Esta função pode evitar ultrapassagens desnecessárias na BR quando o usuário do aplicativo estiver viajando. Diversas vezes quando viajo, vejo motoristas desesperados para ultrapassarem caminhões, principalmente à noite. E em algumas destas vezes, poucos metros depois nos deparamos com a faixa dupla/tripla na estrada, o que torna a ultrapassagem desnecessária naquele momento. Dessa forma, fica a minha sugestão para inserir um aviso, do mesmo modo que ocorre com as sinalizações de radar nas estradas. Desde já, agradeço.
I would suggest…

user needs
It seems to me it would be useful (and a good use of Google's AI) to be able to state my "Need" to Waze and have it solve it for me. For example, I would love to be able to say:
1) Me: "Waze, I'm hungry":
2) Waze: "Of the 3 restaurants on your favorites list, I see the most convenient one is along your route in 6 miles, or, further along your route is Restaurant #2. Does one of those sound good ?This would be much more convenient than trying to yell at Siri to find the "Nearest…

Turn off "Red light camera ahead."
This issue is driving me bonkers. I beg of you, Please create a way to TURN OFF traffic camera notifications.
It is so annoying that I've had to turn off the sound.

Fluidez na interface
Por favor. Permitam que coloquemos o aviso de aproximação dos radares na parte superior junto com a faixa preta que indica as ruas. Eu piloto olhando para aquela legenda no canto superior e quando tem radar tenho que descer os olhos até o fim da tela para ver a distância em metros dos radares e isso incomoda muito!!! E ainda tira muito a atenção da via. Pra quem pilota moto isso está ruim demais. Arrumem isso, permita que escolhemos onde irá mostrar.

Say what alert is for
When there is a pothole, accident or some other alert, these days we just hear a ding. It does not say what the alert is for, you have to look at the screen to see. Rather say "Pothole ahead" etc. The ding sound is the exact same sound my car makes for low fuel. It is extremely annoying to hear the ding every now and again. It also dims the radio/music for a while. Pleas rather just say what the alert is for using your words.

Speed Trap Advisory Pop-Up
I would like to see a pop up up advisory if I drive into a town/village where the entire town is a speed trap & police use LIDAR in random locations for traffic enforcement. This would give the user ample warning as this type of radar is difficult to detect. By the time you have visual on a police car, you’re already nabbed.

Bug
Hi,
I regret to say that with almost every new updates, just bugs come. Instead fancy sounds and glitters, we need a reliable app I think :(
In the recent version, I found:
- When I click on a saved place, click ... then Info, Show on Map, it jumps to my current place.
- Zoom randomly changes while driving.
- Preparing navigation sound is stuck on 94% for a week maybe.
- Sometimes GPS readings make it jump erroneously and recalculating (this might be a problem outside the app, I am not sure)
- App sound volume/tone sometimes…1 vote -
Subdue/Mute background sounds or not mute
Add the new check box in the voice settings area (to choose by the user)– Subdue/Mute background sounds (mutes background sounds while playing a message). It refers to the Android auto. If you turn off this parameter the background sounds (radio, spotify, vlc, etc.) shouldn’t be mute during the messages playing, what is a very desirable option in general. Something similar like in the case of Yanosik navigation program.

Allow users to highlight the route only, without turn by turn directions.
When you've lived in the same city your entire life, you don't need turn by turn directions taking up most of the screen. However it can be nice to have the route outlined, with traffic, construction, and radar highlighted.
A toggle to display the route, without turn by turn directions would make this app a very viable replacement for Google maps.

The "mute during calls" and "play on phone speaker" sliders need to be interconnected
Here is the problem with the "Play sound via: Play on phone speaker" setting. With both "mute during calls" and "pause spoken audio" turned off, I noticed that if I have airpods in and they are being used as the device's default audio settings, I will hear all Waze alerts, as expected, on the phone's speaker.
However, if I'm on a call with the airpods, then all alerts and spoken audio are absent. I would like to hear my alerts and directions from the phone's speaker while I'm on calls with my airpods. However, my experience is quite different. It…

Please give the ability to turn off the "carpool" button
The carpool button is the bane of my Waze existence. Whenever I pick up my phone from the little pocket area in the car and Waze is running, it triggers this "carpool" button. Then it takes both hands to swipe from the far left side of the screen to make it go away. I won't ever use the carpool function and would love to be able to hide it and stop this from happening. I know it sounds trivial, but it's maddening to deal with.

I would love to add a girl group/band option for the voices
It would be awesome to have a girl group sound as one of the options. I think it would be awesome to have, and it would be even more awesome if I was the voice.

Preimptive Traffic Notification - Please read it is not just what it seems by headline.
Preemptive traffic notifications! Sounds Alarm, chirp, chime, text w.e. the user selects when normal route would be jammed BEFORE leaving their home/spot. You have the info and capability to recognize patterns in people’s lives. If they leave at 7:30 to get on a bus, subway, truckers cranking up, no matter who it is, Waze could see that their normal route is delayed 2 hours and let them know BEFORE they have left. Think of the possibilists. People with flexible schedules, Truckers, Subway goers… Repeating but flexible route drivers (delivery etc.)… lots of people benefit so much! Even me, because…
