Multi-stop route feature
When you want to stop at several points along your route you should have the ability to set multiple destinations
3,189 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

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

Passer manuellement à l'étape suivante
Quand on a défini une étape sur le trajet (ex: Station essence), il serait intéressant de pouvoir indiquer manuellement que l'on a atteint l'étape souhaitée, et de lancer la trajet pour la destination suivante, sinon faut se rendre au point précis indiqué par Waze, qui n'est pas toujours correct dans certains cas.

Use Google maps as a fallback if an address is not found on Waze
Many times I am unable to find a destination using the search function in Waze. Google Maps never has a problem finding the same locations.
So my suggestion is: why not query Google maps for the GPS co-ordinate and then route the user to those co-ordinates?
I realize this might not work 100% of the time, but it will work at least 90% of the time, which is better than the current state of affairs - where addresses with street numbers in them only work about 5% of the time.

Display number on screen
The number of your destination should display on the screen as well as the street name.
At the moment only the street name is displayed with no number2 votes -
Alerts on “Map View” when choosing routes
Whenever you type a destination it gives you 3 route options with lines in “List View” that show potential hazards, traffic and visible police. You should also have those same hazards show up when you click “Map View” and see the 3 different colored routes, so there is a better visual as to where those “alerts” are actually located. This would be easier than having to guess by the line.

New different possible routes interface now not user friendly
The previous way to recheck the possible different routes was way more user friendly. When the options were in list form, with one glance we could see the different possibilities and as well as details for each of those routes. With the new format we only see time to destination and no other info. Please go back to the old format. Change is not always for the better.

Halfway there
An announcement that indicates when you're halfway to your destination would be best. Could also extend and say 3/4 of the way there or just almost there! Type announcement.

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.…

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.

Electric car planning with chargers and battery info
I would like to use Waze like ABRP. For me Waze is the best GPS software to drive my car with. But nowadays I have an electric car and need to plan my trip with the battery level and consumption and the available electric chargers on my way. So I would like to see WAZE able to plan my route, adding to it the needed chargers to reach the destination, for example knowing the initial battery status, the consumption of the car it will be easy to understand when to charge and can add any of the available chargers…

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.

New front screen warning
Hi all. I think we need a new front screen, just after you type your destination. This new screen will give you traffic info and route options like Google Maps does and more. Like and advanced warning before your drive starts. Otherwise you can just think, why has this diverted me? Then not bother and carry on ignoring the re route.

Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Save addresses from previous destinations
I looked and did not see this already requested.
It would be nice to select previous destinations and add them to saved list.

Hazard on the road
When there is a “hazard” on the road, Waze tells me in audio that there is a hazard and only on screen will identify the specific hazard I.e. car on side of road. It would be great if Waze said out loud the specific hazard so I didn’t need to take my eyes off the road to look at the screen.

My device is an apple iphone 17 useing carplay in a 2018 VOLVO XC60, something changed in the last month and now the waze menu is on the right hand side and covers the speed from GPS.
The Menu used to br on the left side with the settings on the lower rif
ght side and speed was always available. Hope you can rectify because the speed reading is very important to me

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...

Related to battery life/forgetting to turn off the app. Allow a setting to disable the gps function when on battery for X minutes
I know there is a menu option to turn off the app, but it's easy to forget especially when you get to your destination and want to get out of the car in a hurry. Let the user decide how long he wants the app to run when on battery...then turn off the gps and do a popup allowing the user to turn the gps back on
4 votesSet your location permission to ‘While in use’, this should fix the issue.
