  1. Add Pause Button to Route Guidance

    I use Waze a lot for local driving and frequently take small diversions to convenience stores or maybe swing by another store or a friend's house a few blocks away that is not on the original route.

    I find it very hard to believe that no one has ever added a Pause button to route guidance.

    I have seen it rationalized that it would be distracting while you're driving.

    I would submit that the app continuing to recalculate a new route while you are diverting is ever more distracting. Especially, if you decide to stop the route because the continual…

  2. Convoy

    Convoy Feature
    A set of features to allow a group of travellers to monitor/follow each other via the Waze App. Many holiday makers, but also clubs & professional organisations often need to travel together, and need to be able to track & monitor that the "convoy" members remain together, and is up to date on the latest location, destination, as & when things may change or issues may arise.
    Up to 6 Wazers can enable "participation" (location sharing) with a "Leader" that would invite them to join a "convoy".
    Each Wazer can then see/monitor the other vehicles & leader, and…

  3. Voices preview and favorites

    I've noticed a few things that could be improved: 1. why not preview the voice directions before we choose one.
    2. instead of scrolling through the voices all the time why not have a favorite option to add which ones you like and change between them easier.

  4. Move the Incident Timeline to the Main Navigation Screen + Live Position Indicator

    Place the full incident timeline directly on the main navigation screen and add a live vehicle marker showing the user’s exact position on the time-based route bar. This lets drivers instantly understand where they are within the timeline, what hazards are coming next, and how far they are from each report — all without leaving the main map.

  8. Speed Lines

    Hello, we have "speed lines" in Pennsylvania, among 9 other states, where police can setup nearby and measure your car when it crosses one line in the road and then the time it takes for it to cross a second line a short ways down the road to measure speed. It is called Vascar. Could you add a "speed line" option for the app to keep track of these when encountered by Wazers?

  9. Include traffic signal count on route summary.

    For “short” routes or re-routes, include count of traffic signals. During peak periods, a longer route may be preferable with less signals, which have the potential for delay if even no delay exists at the time of route calculation. The definition of short is arbitrary and could be decided by the devs based on utility vs performance.

  10. Create an emergency vehicle option.

    An option dedicated for roadside assistance/ fire/ EMS present on a roadway would be ideal.

  11. Timeframe for the toll highway

    it would be nice to add the ability to choose the time when the toll highway can be used to calculate the route. Sometimes there are promotions for the tool highway

  12. Southpaw mode for UI layout

    Have a toggle to mirror the layout of buttons on the screen in CarPlay. My vehicle has a wide display which puts the hazard button far away. In fact the buttons I use the most are the furthest from me. Having a way to flip or even pick where UI elements sit would be great.

  13. For the Love of Waze: A Real Driver's Plea to Stop the Trolls

    I'm writing to you as someone who truly loves what Waze is supposed to be: a community of drivers helping each other out. But that spirit is dying, and it's because you're letting a handful of trolls ruin it for everyone else.

    We've all seen it: phantom police cars that vanish into thin air, imaginary traffic jams on empty roads, and the completely absurd "icy road" warnings during a summer heatwave. It’s gone from being a funny quirk to a serious problem. It’s not just annoying anymore; it’s making us lose trust in the app we once relied on.

  14. A Harry Dresden voice pack

    I'm a big fan of the Dresden Files books, by Jim Butcher. I have recently been enjoying the audio book versions. Most of the 17 books are available read by James Marsters.
    I would really enjoy a Waze app voice pack, based on James Marsters portrayal of the Harry Dresden character. (Maybe Jim Butcher himself would be willing participate)
    I'm sure other Dresden Files fans would also.
    Other characters from the Dresden Files, such as Molly Carpenter and Demonreach. Would be a bonus.
    I think the female voice actors for Molly vary, but I'm pretty sure J. Marsters does the…

  15. Personalized voice sidekick with street names

    You could make personalized voice options for sidekicks with a second drop down box below for street name pronunciation using a already established voice option for the street names. For instance I could use the Now You See Me voice option for a sidekick with a British street name English option.

  16. Average Speed Cameras - NZ

    New Zealand NZTA is introducing Average Speed Cameras which will detect your average speed over a long distance.

    Can we implement a feature that will not only show you the start and finish point of the speed trap, but also your average speed whilst you’re within it to ensure you aren’t fined.

    Thanks team!

  17. התראה על קבר צדיק בקרבת מקום (פיצ’ר אופציונלי)

    שלום צוות Waze,

    שמי אהרון בן אייש, אני בן 24, סיימתי את שירותי במג״ב, ואני משתמש באפליקציית Waze כמעט כל יום.
    יש לי רעיון לפיצ’ר שיכול לעניין הרבה משתמשים, במיוחד בישראל ובעולם היהודי.

    הרעיון הוא להוסיף אפשרות התראה אופציונלית שתודיע לנהג כאשר הוא עובר בקרבת מקום של קבר צדיק או אתר רוחני חשוב.
    האפליקציה תוכל לשלוח התראה קטנה, שתאפשר למשתמש לבחור אם הוא רוצה לעצור או לקבל ניווט למקום כדי להתפלל או להשתטח.

    כמובן שהאפשרות תהיה אופציונלית בלבד, ותכובד בחירתו של כל משתמש אם להפעיל או לבטל אותה.

    לדעתי, הרעיון הזה מתאים מאוד לרוח של Waze, שנולדה כאן בישראל, ויכול…

  18. Showing the average speed on the trip

    When a driver enters an average speed check zone, Waze could display both the legal speed limit and the driver’s current calculated average speed since entering the zone. Additionally, the app could show what the driver’s remaining average speed needs to be in order to stay compliant by the end of the zone.

    Example:

    “Average speed check zone — Limit: 90 km/h.
    Current average: 95 km/h.
    To stay compliant, reduce speed to 85 km/h.”

  20. Use phone orientation to determine initial driving direction

    Problem:
    When starting navigation from a stationary position, Waze often assumes my car is facing the direction of the road segment, not my actual heading.
    This leads to wrong initial instructions — for example, being told to “turn right” when in reality I need to make a U-turn first because I’m facing the opposite direction.

    Proposed Solution:
    Use the phone’s built-in compass and orientation sensors to estimate the initial heading of the vehicle when navigation begins.
    In most real-world cases, the phone is positioned facing the same direction as the car (mounted on the dashboard or windshield).
    By using this…
