Misleading Voice contractions
When Waze voice is talking, the software uses English contractions. Two words contracted into one word. For example "you have" is contracted to the single word "you've". The use of contractions by Waze voice is misleading and can lead to drivers getting lost. Currently, when approaching your destination, Waze will say "You'll arrive in 1000 feet". This is confusing and can be misinterpreted as "You've arrived". Instead, Waze should NOT use contractions and instead speak each individual word. "You will arrive in 1000 feet." "You have arrived at your destination."

Automatically set an arrival time for 15 or 30 mins prior to my calendar events. .
People don't want to arrive at their destination at the time their event starts. An option in settings to automatically make your arrival time 15 or 30 mins prior to the start time would be extremely helpful.

Ability to lock screen while riding
Whilst riding (motorcycle) in the rain, the rain can oftentimes register as accidental touches, causing unintentional actions (panning, changing destination etc).
The option to lock the screen from accidental touches and perhaps a simple press and hold or unlock gesture to re-enable touches would help to prevent accidental/unintentional inputs and would reduce avoidable hassle whilst riding in (already) difficult circumstances

Traduções
Vocês têm uma tecnologia fantástica, não se justifica um uso cultural da língua traduzida tão desleixado.
Quando anunciam, por exemplo "polícia REPORTADA à frente", isso é uma tradução grotesca do inglês "reported". Não se usa isso em português. Apesar de ser correto o termo, a fala no Brasil utilizaria "polícia RELATADA à frente".
Outra tradução grotesca é "você chegou ao seu DESTINO". A palavra "destino" em português é diferente de "destination" em inglês, pois em português ela contém o significado de "fate" em inglês. Então cada vez que se escuta "você chegou ao seu destino" parece que sua…2 votesThanks for reaching out.

warnings for camera an roadworks getting in the way
Which brain surgeon at Waze done that? Why are the notifications for speed cameras and roadworks popping up at the bottom and stopping me from punching in a destination. Who in god’s name did this?

Why isn't it (yet) possible to plan a route from a specific adress to my house adress instead of the other way.
It would be nice if I can chance the adress of departure and travel to my house adress instead of the other way around (from my house to a destination). the Waze feature of expected traveltime is very usefull for me.
1 voteGreat news! Searching from a different starting point is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

can we get an option to prioritise motorways
I just looked up how to get somewhere and google maps gives me 3 routes, all going right through the centre of town which while maybe faster than going a longer route of out to the motorway then back in on the other side of town, it would be far preferable.

Add distance to routes in apple car play
When showing routes in apple car play, only the time to destination of each route is displayed. Please also add the distance of each route, which is a very important parameter for selecting the route.

Please bring Parking recommendation back
In the past, on Android Auto when searching for a destination, the parking locations nearby used to show up. Now after an update sometime back (don't know if it is a Waze update or Android Auto update), this is no longer the case. Instead, you have to start navigating to your destination and then Search>Categories>Parking to see this.
And to make it weird, the behaviour here is a hit and miss, with most of the times when this is selected, it returns a 'No Items' message (especially if I am logged in to my account)

Android auto Pop-ups
With the new UI, Waze has become frustrating to use on Android Auto. Pop-up warnings should be dismissible with a single click. Instead, and even though the warning looks highlighted, a click jumps me into destination searches. And when a pop-up is present, the selection dial should only select between yes, no, and cancel. Instead it selects across everything on the screen. This can be frustrating and dangerous while driving trying to select the right button to cancel the pop-up so I can see the map.

Highlight crowded regions, colour it with red to symbolize there may be traffic jam
Don't change the routes but yes but highlight the traffic jams.
Why no alternate routes because it takes same time to reach the destination then. Slight moving traffic would help us reach early.
But let us know it.1 vote -
Advise of signals, radars, police... with Waze as backup with no direction typed
I’ve created a shortcut that opens Waze automatically when it connects to my Apple Car.
However, I’d like it to warn me about road hazards automatically while driving, without setting a destination or manually inputting anything — just running in the background.1 vote -
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.

Risk when reporting... risks.
My common reporting in Waze is for cars stuck on the shoulder, happy to do it and save accidents.
However, it takes several screens/categories to report a car on the side of the road.
I suggest that upon clicking on the Report button a list of the most common issues will open, whether it is by remembering my common reportings or the community's - and not the lenghty "by category" menu. On dark roads at night, to report a hazard is a lenghty and risky "eyes off the road" task.
Thank you3 votes -
I need suport on this as I've tried to get Waze to make this adjustment but they keep saying enough people have to agree
It seems crazy to me that you can so easily post a vehicle stopped on the side of the road...not effecting traffic at all...yet there is no option to report a vehicle broken down in the middle of Freeway lanes, causing a monumental traffic jam! There is an option for roadkill!!! Like a squashed squirrel is really going to impact your journey...but nothing for a vehicle. I had this problem happen to me. There was an almighty backup and I had no idea why. There was a vague report about "an Object" in the road, but you think of a…

When reporting anything on the road, cops, accident, construction a header should pop up asling how far back (ie my loction, 150m,300m, 600m
There should be some form of a header that pops up as you're reporting a cop. For example that lets you select how far back from your current location. Same goes for any report you're making on the road. The last heading that pops up should be how far back. Just like the last heading when you report a cop is visible hidden other side of the road.

Make driving easier and to know what destinations look like with satellite view and also add photos from tripadvisor or google on waze.
The reason I suggest this is many times i find i can't just use waze as it doesn't have satellite view and i end up using other apps for me its a need so I know where im driving when in driver mode and aren't just getting rough ideas from the current view, another feature i suggest is many times you can't view photos of locations because you have to be at the destination to take the photo and there are very few so another feature to add would be to add maybe photos from Google to the app instead…

Support different left and right street names on segments
Quite often, roads follow the boundary of cities, regions or even countries. This usually means that one side of the street has a different name and house numbers than the other side.
Waze currently allows one primary street name and alternative names, but that doesn't solve this issue as house numbers are assigned to the primary street and when you search for the street set as an alternative name, you incorrectly get redirected to the primary name.
At the moment, we work around this by assigning the street with the most house numbers as primary street name and add…

Copilot
There are three very useful things missing to make driving safer: 1. Speed traps alerts if speed limit drops ahead, a warning of change will do. 2. Exit speeds beyond a delta; you might be on 65 limit with short ramp at 25 exit unfamiliar with rain at night is dangerous. 3. Save preferred routes like roads you like leaving your town because of deer, fog, blind turns, or whatever drive your preference without having to put your destination and then a stop to force a route or else reroute messages come at every corner

navigation disappearing android auto
There's a known bug of this and I was directed here by support.
I have found a work around to get Waze navigation to work on the vehicle display through Android Auto.
These steps, in this order, will allow Waze navigation to function on the vehicle display. The steps must be performed each time the phone connects to the vehicle. So switching from wireless Android Auto to wired and vice versa will require following the steps again. All steps are performed on the vehicle display unit, not on the phone.
- Open Google Maps on the vehicle.
- Start navigation in Google…
