Time lapse photos
On road trips it would be a cool feature to have a time lapse photo feature that can post to Facebook or Twitter as I am heading to my destination.

Bottom Bar.
The bar at the bottom that has search and carpool need to have a button to turn it off. It is not needed while driving and when on my motorcycle and my phone is turned on its side the bar takes up over half my screen making it impossible to see the map.

To be able to add a place where there is trash to clean
Hi Waze Team,
We were looking for a map of places where people drop trash, you know, like on the side of a road with lots of plastic bags for example. Why ? Because we would like to easily organize trashremoval operations with our association to protect the environnement. And we were thinking : what would be better than people just having to push a button on the Waze app to pin point the location of such trashy places ? Is it something you'd be willing to consider ?

ROT (Right on Time) Notification
ROT (Right on Time) Notification feature will make it possible for the
user to set a destination (D), a wanted time of arrival (AT) to that
destination and a timeout (T). Waze will notify the user T minutes
before he should get on road in order to reach D at AT.
I believe that a lot of Waze users (including me) are constantly checking how much time it would take them to get from A to B.
ROT feature will do it for them.

Stop routing traffic inappropriately
I am contacting everyone at Waze right now. Waze is causing problems.
Highway 17 from San Jose to Santa Cruz is notorious for its beach traffic. Waze directing traffic thought downtown Los Gatos and on to mountain side roads to avoid this.
STOP DOING THIS!
First of all this is causing horrendous gridlock in downtown Los Gatos. The town has put up signs telling Beach Traffic to stick to Highway 17. Drivers are ignoring this because Waze gives tells them they can cut thru Los Gatos. This is causing MASSIVE problems.
Second, DON'T direct people off Hwy 17 on to…

Option to not display the 'route summary' screen when starting navigation.
Having selected a destination on the map and choosing to navigate to that destination, a 'summary' screen is currently being displayed before navigation commences, requiring the user to accept the route prior to navigation starting.
An option to bypass this screen and start navigation immediately after selecting a destination would be a nice addition.1 vote -
Speedometer position Android Auto
Actual Speed and Limit icons to be set closer to driver position (left or right of screen) depending on driver position in settings.
On car displays having the icons on opposite side can take the attention off the road for too long when trying to observe the speed limit / actual speed.10 votes -

Do AWAY with cartoonish “rewards”
Do AWAY with the cartoonish rewards! This is a useful app and not a ridiculous game. Going 75mph down the highway and I “verify” a car on the side of the road and as soon as I do I come over a small rise and there’s a car in the left shoulder partially in the fast lane and the ridiculous cartoon rewards are still flashing so I can’t press the notification button to alert other drivers!! It’s either a game or a useful app, stop trying to make it both!!

Work address flips route based on who last use it.
My work location (a University admin building) has couple entrances with same address via two different streets (Main entrance, and 1st floor ramp back street). Apparently, based on what Waze user last entered the building the route flips to the front entrance without warning which results in route via the north or side south of the city (a waste of time in rush hours.) Is there a way to tie the regular destination to a specific Waze users?

roundabout symbol for right hand drive cars
I have noticed that the navigation / next turn symbol for round abouts is for left hand drive car roads.
so for us who drive from the right side of the car the roundabouts show a right turn going the wrong way around the round about for the third exit.
the map itself is correct, it goes the proper way around, but the next turn signal is wrong7 votes -
Move the thank and negative buttons
Suggestion!
The thank button and the negative badge for warnings are too close and it's easy to touch the unintended one while driving and bumps affect your hand floating while reaching for the screen. .
It would be nice to have the thank button on the left screen and the negative badge on the far right side. .since most phones are placed on the middle of the vehicle dash area. ..
Thanks for the awesome app!

I vote for the route in the center of the screen on android car audio
On android car radio the route is not in the center of the screen. Moreover - it is on the right side of the screen, at the maximum distance from the driver. It is very uncomfortable! Fix it please!

Allow two planned trips as segments of a two day drive.
Currently, when I begin and the second planned drive's destination, Waze gets stuck in a loop showing the messages "Route too long. Recalculating with new arrival day." and "Please wait." It never stops nor allows me to set the second planned drive start (to the destination of the first planned drive). Allow setting start location of a (second/subsequent) planned drive.

Android auto integration
Android auto integration is pretty terrible. Search has no voice option. And when I switch to spotify it's just a blank screen when loved to the side widget screen, it really only shows next turn if actively using navigation. There is such a missed opportunity like how Google maps does their integration.

Add group option for friends traveling together
When you travel with friends, every time you follow one of them and this include to enter the destination for each vehicle (one waze per vehicle) just in case of one of them is lost in traffic.
The idea is to have a group option to invite your friends who travel with you to your waze group, one of them enter a destination and waze share automatically to the other group participant.
Maybe a chat can be available in the group to share about next destination or indicate an empty tank and a necessary refueling or something else.

On the paw patrol voice it'll be cool to hear. There's a car stopped on the side of the road, i wonder if Rocky has a part for the car.
Other ideas, Zuma, when you get to your location, can say OK dive it, the beginning when you start, we gotta fly (skye) Green means go (Rocky).

Show saved locations standerd with recent searches
With an recent update, Waze opens on Android Car with recent searches. Not shown are pre-saved locations like 'work' or 'home'. So now I need to close the recent searches, click on pre-saved locations and click the destination. Previously i could directly click on the saved location. The new update cost more clicks and is slower accessible.
