Reinstate how many minutes off route
Until recently, I could enter my destination and then enter Starbucks (or any other business) as a secondary destination on the way. Waze would then show all the Starbucks on the way and how many minutes off route each Starbucks stop was. I don't know why you would take away such a helpful and important feature. Please reinstate this feature

Navigation Info Obscuring ETA on I-285 West in Atlanta, GA (Exit 61 – Airport)
Hi Waze team,
I’d like to report a usability issue I encountered while using Waze with Apple CarPlay. When driving on I-285 West near Atlanta, Georgia, heading toward Exit 61 (Airport / Domestic / Atlanta / Montgomery / Columbus), the navigation panel becomes too large, displaying an extended list of destinations and road names.
In this specific case, the upcoming turn involves I-85 South and multiple destination labels, causing the black instruction box on the left side to expand significantly. This box completely blocks the estimated time of arrival (ETA) and other useful trip data, making it impossible to…

Option to Select Expressway of Choice (Mix and Matching)
In Phillipines there are Expressways that are owned by different companies.
They are likely non competing so depending on your destination, you're either going to use either one of them or both.So It is natural to have them in Toll and HOV Passes (Autosweep RFID and Easytrip RFID), so the route functions correctly for your desired destination.
But there are certain conditions that they are now competing.
Specifically with NLEX Connector Road vs SKY WAY Stage 3Say you begin your travel at Santa Mesa Manila for example, if your destination for example is somewhere North like…

Adding Smash and Grab to the report page
Please add "Smash and Grab" to the report page. We have a lot of this in South Africa. Perpetrators smash the passenger side windows and steal things from cars when people are stuck in peak hour traffic. there was an incident like this today and I could not report it

Arrival address size and displayed before arrival.
Show arrival address sooner, maybe a block or two away, and also in larger type face... a much LARGER TYPEFACE. It is hard to read the address when driving so, is distracting and unsafe. There is a need to start looking at house numbers to know which side of the street the property is on. Thanks!!!

"landscape" phone holder
Currently my phone holder is in "landscape" position. The problem is that the 3D (or birdview) paramertes are same with the portrait position, so the area front of the car is smaller ( I can see only few km forward)
If I navigate and I get a warning (eg. traffipax) half of the screen is covered... so my "foresight" is more reduced
I have 2 suggestions:
- "adjustable" (or auto) birdview-sight angle/height: if there are 20km "foresight" in portrait position, let the same distance in landscape position
- navigation and warning "bars" let the same size in every position... and…12 votes -

Possibility to get detailed information about alerts or hazards on the trip when starting
When starting the trip and setting the destination, Waze often shows traffic alerts or police presense alerts etc on on the horizontal line as small icons. But can not tap on those icons to see in forehand, what are those warnings about! How come? Those should be clicable to see more detailed information and perhaps a glimpse of the map where the issue is at.

Overwatch GPS voices! Mei!
It would cool to have characters from the Overwatch series to guide you to you're destination. Mei, Cassidy, Tracer, Lucio, Widowmaker, and the rest.

Black screen issue
When changing the driving destination and want to stop the current route, it becomes black screen of death! It cannot be stopped. I had to turn the phone off completely or GPS off to get out of Waze app.

Adding a stop after update...where did my dual ETA go?
I use the "add a stop" feature a lot during my travels. Since the latest update, I can no longer see the ETA for my final destination after the stop. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Anyone else noticing this?

Arrival celebration
My daughter thinks that it would be great if when you reach your destination, that there should be a pop of confetti!

Leave the overview map on the screen until I change it.
In Google Maps, when I get to the Overview Screen, it stays on the screen and slowly zooms in until I get to my destination. In Waze, the Overview Screen only stays for a few seconds, then reverts to the basic navigation screen. Please make Waze more like Maps and let me keep the Overview Screen on the display until I change it!

Personal statistics
Would be nice to get stats about your personal routes : average travel time between your first 2 or 3 destinations, average waze error on ETA (accuracy and precision - see wikipedia for the difference), time you spend driving per day, number of wazers you cross... one can invent all sort of fun and useful statistics.
31 votesWe plan to work on having a personal statistics of the routes taken in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

In dual screen mode show in main screen the whole route, not just mirror current view
In dual screen mode (main screen and small screen above steering wheel) show on main screen the whole journey from current position to the destination (the same as Google Maps do). Right now main screen only mirror small view in a different scale.
I described it here with some photos:

Car category specific routes
It would be very nice if you can define/select the vehicle type/category before you start driving or even better when you create a new account to specify the vehicle type and based on this to have different routes to the destination, because if you are a TIR driver sometimes Waze provides a route that is destination only to normal cars.

Dutch sidekicks
Seriously, this is a perfect app — I love it.
But please, add Dutch sidekicks as soon as possible. There are tons of Dutch users, and I personally bring you new ones every single week. It really bugs me that the app is banned in Germany, yet you still offer full German-language sidekicks there. So please get the Dutch voices and language added quickly for us too.
Also, like I mentioned in my review: when you arrive at a destination, the house number (and all the destination info) disappears the second it says ‘Destination reached.’ It…1 vote -
someone died today and i could have saved them with waze if waze had a very simple adjustment
Dear Waze, i am a student driver, today i was on the highway and Waze alerted me that a car was on the side of the road. I saw it but i also saw that the notifcation only said the car was on the side of the road, and also asked to confirm if it was still there ..... I looked at the car, but i was too focussed on driving straight because im still learning, to really look at the car, i was doubting if i should stop to see if i could help, thousands of cars were passing…

Offset turn instruction
Oftentimes at standard, perpendicular intersections, streets dead-end on one side and pick up again on the other side, offset by just a few dozen feet. For simplicity's sake and for routing, we map a lot of these as plain four-way intersections (like an italicized + sign, you could say).
But this can be confusing for drivers, who arrive at the intersection with no special instruction and yet are forced to almost fully turn right or left. The simple four-way mapping style is appropriate when the offset would still allow a car's width to pass through without turning, but when…
