Multiple work, home, school, daycare, … destinations
Please add multiple primary destinations. Many people have more than one Home or Work destinations, or drive regularly to School or Daycare. Maybe make the list open ended and add special icons for these other choices.

expose intents
for all clients expose an API
for Android expose:
• intents
• broadcast intents
• application shortcutsfor the slightly savvier user this allows accelerated navigation by macro (Tasker, Llama, OmniDroid, et al)
API allows for similar macro- or automation apps on iOS (ipad, iPhone), windows mobile, other platforms surely
instead of
° load waze
° click or swipe to open navigate to UI
° search for address
° select match
° go
° pick routethe macro app could accomplish this in
ONE click
this is employing merely one of a panoply of time saving waze measures

Automatic zoom and popup alert
Scale slider to set automatic zoom scale/speed on map! I would like set zoom level, it is too much sudden!
Popup alert are too big! Many time is very difficult follow the route because alerts cover the map for too much time. An idea can be a banner in a side of the screen! Keep the map on the screen.
My compliments for this amazing app5 votes -
Use another source for the maps (other than google maps)
I see that for some,the fun in waze is making and editing the map, thats cool. but in the area im in, there arent many users of waze, and there are a lot of streets. and there have been times (infact every time so far) where i have set a destination, only for it to not be found.
Some apps (mapquest) use openstreetmap maps (http://openstreetmaps.org). Do their terms of service fit better with waze terms of service?
as i understand it, that is why google maps arent used as a base.

I used Waze in foreground (iPad Mini) to navigate, while running Navigon in background for speed warnings.
I really like Navigon's speed warnings, but it couldn't find my destination address, so I just let it run without a destination and ran Waze for navigating. Worked great, except in the boonies, where Waze died for lack of internet.

Reporting Queue
Can you please add reporting queue. When, e.g. I am traveling for 60 km's I get 5 or 6 reports per travel, but I want to simply record the location and use "Later" button to report it later (at destination, or gas station), but when I do this twice or more, the last report overwrites the previous one, so I can't post all problems (constructions, map errors, etc.).
I know, for example when I am reporting car at edge of road, this might be old information, but I want to use this option mainly for constructions, map errors, etc.…

Police and radar on the side of the road
Hello. The idea would be that each time a police report is made, that it would either make an alarm or alert message at least 1000 to 2000 meters before reaching the police report or that it would add to the route a highlighted section of 1000 to 2000 meters similarly to the traffic jam report before reaching the actual police reported point. Sometimes the radar is hidden way before the visible police car, the latter being the interception unit and not the measuring unit.

During long distance travel "Add a Stop" feature spreads options (eg cafe) too widely apart without asking for more input as to which side of travel this Added Stop would be searched for.
I have done long routes in the past and half of the Stops that it finds are near my end point far in the distance and unnecessary for what I'm looking for at the time.
So an additional question "Close, or futher down" OR "Within the next _miles or _ minutes " would get better results for folks looking for a good stop either now or…

Please allow typing when the car is moving (just as Google maps).
Please allow typing when the car is moving (just as Google maps). The passenger should be able to modify destination (for example) while driving. It is not user friendly to force the driver to stop when destination needs to be modified.

Option for "Safety-Aware Routing" Prioritizing Shelter Proximity
I suggest adding a routing option that allows users to find routes optimized not just for speed, but also for proximity to designated safety shelters (e.g., bomb shelters, emergency shelters) along the way. In emergencies, knowing you're on a path with quick access to a shelter could be crucial. This would be different from navigating to a shelter, but rather keeping shelters nearby while en route to a destination.

show public transportation routes
We're in a climate crisis and everybody should drive less when there are alternatives available.
Waze should help with that by suggesting Public Transportation or bicycle routes when selecting a destination, when those routes are viable alternatives (don't bother showing a 3h bus route for a 10 min drive).
This could be similar to Google Maps and use the same data.
Just by showing that there are alternatives, the user might be tempted to try them.
This might be specially useful when driving in cities that have car restrictions, dedicated bus lanes or good bicycle infrastructure that rivals congestion,…9 votes -
Set the audio in advance
There is a risk every time you open the app and set a destination: the app could disturb you with its voice without you being able to predict it in advance. It would be enough to place the voice control on the home screen, then before setting the destination.(Of course, it's always possible to go into the settings beforehand, but it's a bit of a complex procedure and is therefore almost never done.)

Better Route Planning Idea
Just like the toll booth warning in any route plan, there should be a warning that the route REQUIRES A FERRY to get to your destination...absolutely ridiculous...

When backing out of destination leave screen there instead of moving back to arrow. Like google maps
When in Google maps if you type in an address and then cancel the trip, the screen will stay there. I do this for pinpointing areas, with waze the screen resets to your position after backing/canceling a trip.

Scrolling at CarPlay map
When I put first letters of destination address, and want to choose right route, keyboard is enlarged and the space between keyboard block and field for typing is very small.
Will be great to add button to hide and unhide keyboard while typing destination1 vote -

Right Center Left description for alerts such as hazards
ADD buttons for
Right
Center
Left
The app already has a description for everything else you just need to add the above on a single line.Other side of the highway would be nice to have.
The ability to UPDATE a notice someone else added to show misreported or under-reported notifications.
It works now as,
Hazard reported shoulderWELL as a responder I might want to get something out of that side of the road BEFORE the hazard gets worse or move over to a clear lane.
So the change would work something like,
Hazard reported RIGHT shoulder.You see…

Waypoints
Would be great to have the option of refining a route by inputting waypoints. It is noted that there is an ability to input a single 'stop' but the time to that stop is displayed rather than the time to the destination - you need to tap the bottom bar periodically to check your destination ETA. So please include an option to input waypoints and to have the final desti ETA permanently displayed
