When selecting a route, automatically show us delays!!
When going about choosing a route to my destination, Waze does not show us delays included in the route estimates.
In order to see what the delay would be, you have to click on the route and wait about 10 minutes for the route to update. By then it may be too late to switch to an alternative route.
We should be able to see the estimated driving time before selecting a route!!
Other apps can manage this function, so why can't Waze keep up?

Alert popup windows cover vital information
On android auto, the alert popup windows cover vital information such as time to reach destination and which lane to pick at the next crossroad. This is very annoying and potentionaly dangerous.
This does not happen on the phone display, even thought it is much smaller then the cars display.Could this be fixed so that the popup window would not cover other informations?
Thank you

Copy-pasting coordinates from Google Maps includes parentheses.
Hello WAZE team, I have been using WAZE for almost over 8 years. Sometimes when I copy an address from Google Maps and ask for directions, the final destination ends up being incorrectly set on a highway or a blocked road, causing inconvenience as the destination is not accurately set. To solve this, I copy the exact coordinates from Google Maps and use them. Previously, when I entered coordinates like (48.1373294682532, 11.575360369297023), it would lead me to the precise location, and I would reach the exact destination. However, now it says that the destination cannot be found because of…

Search while connected to android auto
You have got to make it possible to voice search while driving. I use waze with my business and when I get a call I often have to change my destination or add a stop. I can't do that with waze without stopping. I legit added a manual power disconnect for my radio so I can turn my radio OFF which automatically disconnects android auto. Then I search in my phone, then I turn the radio back ON to get the new destination or stop in the waze app... Now how stupid and distracting is that? How is that safer?…

Turn traffic, ability to report and to use in navigation
There must be an option to report traffic for a specific turn. The reason is that a given road may be moving well through an intersection, but specifically a left turn lane onto an intersecting road can be jammed. In such a case the navigator won't use that road to turn left and find another route.
As an example. Let's say I am driving on Main St and there are 3 intersecting roads coming up, Street 1, Street 2, and Street 3. My destination is at Street 2, where I need to turn left from Main St. Waze doesn't know…

Optimun Gas Fill up station and report
It would be very usegul to have a road map calculator to the most optimum gas station depending on the fuel consumption of your car (that you can report manually after each travel), depending of the gas price in eah station and depending of the traffic to reach that destination.
If you want to fill up just a couple of gallon it is not optimum to go to the cheapest one, instead you want to go to the nearest one, but if you want to go to fill a full tank it is more optimum to go to the…

Layout
When we get an alert such as Police ahead the response boxes are side by side and difficult to tap the correct one when responding. They need to be end to end so that the correct one can be easily tapped.
End to end horizontally or vertically but not side by side.1 vote -
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 -
Upgrade
You need to follow Google's maps lead and upgrade waze so it can calculate the distance between two points from a location to a destination and you need to do it yesterday. I can't believe nobody there has thought of this. You are lagging waze. Get with the competition.

Restart After Stop consistently direct me to turn the wrong way
For some reason, even though I was using waze and for instance, stopped at a gas station or other stop, when I turn waze back on and program my next destination, it consistently tells me to turn the wrong way (right when I need to go left, left when I need to go right, etc). Can't WAZE store my exact orientation and location at the end of each route and know exactly which way I am facing when I turned the car off, so that it will use that as a staring point the next time I select a …

Record a reminder for the end of The ride before starting it
Record a reminder/note for myself before starting the ride and hear it when I end it, for example:

- Remind me to call/message someone.2 votes -
Integrate Waze for iOS into Google voice search on the Google app
Would it be possible to use Google to search the Waze map database and open a URL to navigate to the destination? Using the same idea as when you click a facebook url, it opens the app and navigates to the relavent page or event etc?

There is a app called gomechanic that's free and has emergency roadside assistance and a bunch of other devices. It gives you immediate help
Get help to come to you immediately if your the one on the side of the road. It's cheap and the app is free and nation wide. You don't get charged for a 3rd party being involved. They can tow , bring gas or even fix your car. They come to you. That's what the app is about. Gomechanic would be a nice compliment to what you are doing. A solution to the problems that users report.

Buttons for confirm/dismiss -For CarPlay
Have confirm/dismiss buttons in larger “square” shaped format side by side rather than 2 long skinny rectangles on top of each other. More prone to accidentally clicking the wrong one while driving because there is little space for error while clicking. If they were decent sized 2 squares side by side, easier to click the correct one.

Warn drivers that attempt changing the name of a place.
Recently I have seen (and rejected) many name changes on places where people attempt to change the name to one they would like to see as a shortcut name in their destinations.
Waze should warn them when they attempt to change the name of any place and provide an option to properly nickname a routing destination without changing the name everyone sees.
I usually send them a message via Chat when this happens and reject their changes, but it would be better if Waze did the warning .3 votes -
Report on the previous place
Hi there,
I would like to ask that how can I pin the previous place that I see got road block on the other side of the road? And because I'm driving, so I'm unable to report in the 1st place, and when I reach at the traffic light, I try to report the exact location, it's can't anymore. How?Thanks and regards
