Mexican Fruit Stands!
Let people tag a fruit vendor when they see one on the sidewalk. I live in Los Angeles and I use Waze when I’m traveling and I don’t really like fattening foods. So often time I crave those fruit vendors we all see on the side of the road. They make some amazing fruit cups with Spices and sauces all over them. I would love if we can tag them when we see them. We never truly know where they are or what days they take off. So it would be beyond amazing if we can tag those as…

Add direction to Gas station names
When updating prices for Gas statitions if there are two either side of the road you can't tell which is which. Sometimes they have differnet prices (not often I grant you) and its not possible to know which is which. If you added Northbound, Eastbound etc. would make it clearer.

Recognise when I’m behind a very slow moving vehicle and offer a New route around this vehicle
I suggest adding a feature that detects when I'm driving much slower than the speed limit on a road. The app could then ask if I'm in heavy traffic or behind a very slow-moving vehicle. If it's the latter, like being stuck behind a garbage truck making frequent stops, the app could suggest alternative routes to bypass the slow vehicle and reach my destination faster.

Improve navigation at private installations
Please modify the app's map to display gate icons representing gates that were previously created in the editor. Each icon will be invisibly linked to a nearby private road segment. When the gate is closed, the normal penalty for a private road will be applied to the route should this wazer's route include the segment. If the gate is open, there will be no penalty when this wazer's route traverses the segment.
An example of how this works would be a gated neighborhood with a main entrance where all visitors must enter and a private entrance that may be used…

This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being, since we’re focusing on features which would potentially benefit larger groups of Wazers.

Preview the " Leave Later " routes & modify " Add Stop ".
When planning a day of adventuring, sometimes I may already know how to get to my 1st destination, after that it is all up to GPS navigation !
LEAVE LATER:
I like to know ( and find it helpful ) what the routes between destinations will look like, especially if it full day or days of travelling.
Eg; I will leave home and arrive at Point A without GPS, let's see where I'll be travelling through to get from Point A -> B, B -> C etc
Unfortunately, as many times as I have checked over the years,…3 votes -
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)

Do not stop navigation when unplugging from Android Auto
When you unplug the phone from the car, Waze will stop the current navigation and forget the route.
This can happen for a variety of reasons such as making a pit stop, or even a flaky usb port.
If you need to continue the route, you need to re set the destination, and for this you need internet access. If you are in the middle of nowhere with no internet, you are screwed.
Google Maps doesn't forget the current navigation when the phone unplugs from the car. The navigation should be stopped only if the user stops it manually.

Show Junction ( intersection ) numbers on Reports ahead
After the Route is selected Waze can display "Reports Ahead" or they pop-up on your journey, Each report is given a distance, type and location. e.g 81.8 miles / Heavy Traffic / Flore.
Unfortunately I have no idea where "Flores" is. So it is difficult to relate to where in my journey this delay is.
What would be much better would be to use the Road and Junction numbers ( US: Intersection numbers).
The locations are often small towns i have never heard of.
E.g. If it showed " 81.8 miles / Heavy Traffic / M1 J14-J15 near Flore" that…2 votes -
need to have other buttons added
Need a pause button. So if you do a side trip it isn't trying to get you back on the track every 15 seconds.
also would like a repeat last instruction button. Traveling down the road with radio on for 15 minutes. Then suddenly you hear the tail end of an instruction, but have no idea what the opening direction was.
in sum: 1 pause button and 1 repeat last instruction button.

Link to online accounts for toll charges
Many toll roads now accept online accounts/support digital payments. Is it possible to connect any accounts to Waze so that when it registers you’ve crossed/driven over the toll road/crossing it triggers a payment from the linked account for the toll charge.
If no account is registered could it send an sms message to remind you to pay for the toll charge after you reach your destination.

POI route / info
provide switch for "tourist mode" - while you are driving to destination, provide limited notification of POI in the area (on your right is the Eiffel tower, built in 1887). "tourist mode" can allow for categories for selection (history, culture, etc). linked to this is the ability to select a POI route in your area (just go for a drive to the POIs in your area).

Simplified UI for logging common hazards
The idea is to reduce the number of clicks needed for "common" tasks. For example, I mostly use one of the three traffic levels for my side of the other side as well as vehicles stopped on the shoulder, again for both sides. If clicking the Hazard pin popped up this list as simple icons first, it's two clicks to complete any of those common tasks. There could still be a "more" option for other details and if it's a editable list then it could be customised per user.

Fix my Starbucks dilemma
Mark places that serve Starbucks as something other than Starbucks. I drive all day and search for Starbucks to get a coffee or food on the way to my destination. I end up at retirement homes, hospitals, churches, schools......

טיימר לעקיפה בטוחה בכביש הערבה
הבעיה:
הקטע שבין צומת הערבה לצומת קטורה בכביש 90, באורך של כ-120 ק"מ, נחשב לאחד הקטעים המסוכנים בישראל. מרבית הדרך חד-נתיבית לכל כיוון, ללא אפשרות עקיפה בטוחה – וזה יוצר לחץ, נהיגה תוקפנית ומצבים מסכני חיים על בסיס יומי.
בין השנים 2000 ל-2020 נהרגו בכביש הערבה כולו 81 בני אדם, כאשר חלק גדול מהתאונות נגרמות עקב עקיפות מסוכנות בקטעים שאינם מאפשרים עקיפה בטוחה.
הצעה לפיצ'ר מציל חיים:
Waze תוסיף התראה מתקדמת – טיימר בצד המסך או הודעה קולית/חזותית – שתעדכן את הנהג מראש על קטע דו-נתיבי מתקרב:
🕒 "בעוד 2.4 ק"מ – קטע דו-נתיבי לעקיפה בטוחה"

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.

Highway town list view
When on long drives have an option on a long highway to show a list of upcoming towns (distance and time) to plan stops along the trip. Gives flexibility along a route to plan stops while understanding the end destination time

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.

This-trip-only Navigation Preferences or Warning When Any "Avoid" Option is On
Occasionally a given trip requires selecting "Avoid" options within Navigation Preferences. However, it's easy to forget those options were set, resulting in a convoluted and potentially time-consuming routing the next time Waze is used for a different destination. Suggestion is to provide an upfront Navigation Preferences option for "this trip only" when setting up the trip or when a trip is selected from favorites. An alternate approach to this issue is that whenever a future trip is defined, via favorites, new trip or past trip, the user is alerted if any Navigation "Avoid" settings are ON.

Reporting hazards with Siri using Apple CarPlay and Waze
Waze has possibility to use Siri shortcuts to navigate home, work or other destinations, as well as setting level of notifications. Please add possibility to report hazards like police, stopped vehicle on the road, road works, traffic etc. Using Siri, this would increase safety dramatically as a driver would not need to touch the screen for that multiple times.
