Web Page interaction
Why the web site does not bring my favorites places? It would be very easy for us to edit a add, delete, modify a destination on web page rather than the APP..
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, a live map is available as a web version, which you can use to see real time traffic reports. Search for Waze live map.

Use predictive modeling to better route traffic during a major traffic event
Western Washington state experienced a major traffic event when a train derailed and shut down Interstate 5 for the whole day. 60K vehicles use that stretch of I-5 every day. I used Waze to navigate home, but a 40 minute drive turned into 5.5 hours because of the accident and using side roads.
Waze tried its best to find the best route, but the predicted two-hour drive kept getting worse and worse. Of course, there's not much historic information to know how to the side and back roads would reach to that much traffic flooding onto them, but Waze failed…

Wrong Directions Given
I contacted Waze because last night I was in a large mobile home park & kept getting directions to turn where there was no road, getting wrong distances to roads & destination. At one point I was in the middle of the road with no homes around & told I had reached my destination. I was also told that at an intersection. If I hadn't been familiar with the area, it could have been dangerous. There isn't enough distance time given for turning either.

Add the ability to create 'Here' as a favourite
Not all destinations have a clear address or you want to be able to use a specific entrance. It would be great if when adding a favourite Waze would let you select the place you are right now. Most GPS allow this feature.

Auto hide the my waze and where to in landscape mode
Surely there should be a way to auto hide the my Waze and where to bar in landscape mode like it does in portrait mode. It's such a shame it takes up so much room. Sometimes you don't want to type a destination in where your going and just want to have the updates.

New isn't better
I don't mind the update with the interface change but things like reporting a stopped car or accident on the "other side" was useful. Now you can only do that with pigs. The new bubble format takes longer than the old style to pop up.
I tell people about your app all the time but these changes are disappointing.2 votes -
latest waze version in Android Auto is a disaster
So the lates waze version was so frustrating, that I uninstalled it and went back a version.
1. The map is very slow - if you try to move the map around to see what's ahead it moves very slow and advances very little.
2. The Navigation menu, that was once located in a rectangle in the lower left part of the screen is no longer pressable. As a result the menu it self, that it once had ,are now permanently on the screen. But the moved to the far side from the driver. to the top right side.…5 votes -
Still there button
When the “still there, not there” options appears, on many occasions when trying to select option, I’ve pressed the wrong one due to bumps in road causing hand to go up /down.
The shocks cause car to glide and causes up down motion.
If they were side by side, it would help prevent the “floating” hand moving up and down when trying to select.

Ability to pick a route as favourite
For people with anxiety, new roads can be tricky to navigate. The possibility of picking a favourite route to go to your destination, so each time you drive there Waze suggests it automatically, would be great.

Really great app! Thank you guys for doing such good job!
But nevertheless there are some features that could be done better:
1. App freezes sometimes after start then there is no connection with GSM network.
2. Then there are numerous alerts on the same spot, only nearest is announced. E.g. among "police", "accident on the road" and "vehicle on the shoulder" happend in the same area, only "vehicle on the shoulder" will be announced, meanwhile "police" is more important, because it is also used for mobile radars. It would be great, if "police" alert had priority over others alerts.
3. Mobile radars or LIDARs. Then I see one on the…1 voteThanks for reaching out.

Opposite speed camera reporting and differentiate between front and rear facing speed cameras
Suggestion 1:
Sometimes, when driving, there is a police officer with a camera on the opposite side of the road. However, the app doesn’t have an option to report a “camera on the opposite side,” so we are forced to mark it as “police on the opposite side.” It would be helpful to have a specific option for reporting such cases.Suggestion 2:
Speed cameras generally fall into two categories: those that measure speed from the front of the vehicle and those that measure it from the rear. It would be great if Waze could distinguish between these…2 votes -
Sloping / inclined streets
In Latam and some other cities I have known, there are streets with inclines of more than 15° and some vehicles cannot drive up these roads due to several factors.
1) low power vehicles
2) Motorcycles
3) climatic factors that prevent the vehicle to go up this road.
4) vehicles parked on the sides that prevent other vehicles from passing.It would be interesting to make waze as well as avoid freeway roads we can add the inclination and avoid it.

Add 2 buttons to main screen
Puta separate “Police” and “Traffic on shoulder” buttons on the main screen on the right side. I am sure these are the two most frequently used buttons. Removing the additional steps for these two alerts will make it much easier on drivers AND encourage more participation amount users. My friend uses WAZE, but never alerts the app of police because it takes multiple steps to post alert. It will also provide a more accurate location since those two would need only one touch.

Shutdown dialog no longer shows up on first back button or swipe back
Android: Waze used to always show the shutdown dialog box when the back button was pressed or swiped back. Now if I launch Waze and then swipe back, it will go to my home screen and continue running. The behavior is the same if I am already navigating to a destination. Once I return to the home screen, if I open Waze again and then swipe back, it will show the dialog box. Please re-enable the dialog anytime a back swipe is issued. Thanks!

Add restaurants or POI that you're interested in
I would really like to be able to flag points of Interests or Restaurants I want to go to in Waze. When I am near, or I put in a route that is near those flagged POI's or Restaurants Waze can notify me that said destination is along the route and may be x minutes out of the way.

bad weather
Hello,
In bad weather (rain, fog, etc.), could you please avoid only signalling one side of the road? I’ve never seen rain falling on just one side of the road.
Thank you1 vote
