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…

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…

keep basic info when refreshing a route on https://www.waze.com/livemap
imo, a REFRESH of a page here https://www.waze.com/livemap should not forget the origin and destination and start everything from scratch, but rather recalculate optional routes using info already entered and validated by your user
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Turn off close to home
Much the same way the “still there” interface pops up when you are close to a reported cop or car on the side of the road, have a pop off for “continue/stop” when you are close to home. I suggest 1mile radius from your Home location.

Split major roads to reflect the reality of the situation
Major roads are often shown as one road when in reality they are two roads. These means alerts may refer to one side or the other causing confusion. For example is the police alert for the other side of the road or this side. Its an obvious flaw in the presentation of map data. The reality is not reflected by the maps.

Show cost of travel (toll + fuel + maybe parking values).
When choosing a destination and between different paths, toll routes could have the cost of those tolls.
As an additional feature it could calculate fuel cost (having the car/engine information, average speed and total distance).1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze calculates and displays toll prices in many parts of the world. To know when this becomes available in your country, stay tuned on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

Add 'stop nav' main button
When selecting 'back' the app offers only 'cancel' or 'shutdown'. I often want to stop navigation, select another destination, select another route. Selecting 'shutdown' just bails out of the app completely! It needs 'stop nav' in addition to cancel & shutdown.

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.

Autoriser la réception d’itinéraires complets depuis des applications tierces comme ChargeMap
Utilisateur fidèle de Waze, j’aimerais que l’application permette de recevoir des itinéraires complets construits dans d’autres applications comme ChargeMap (pour véhicules électriques). Actuellement, seule la destination finale peut être transmise, ce qui limite beaucoup l’utilisation combinée avec des apps de planification de trajets.
Pouvoir naviguer avec Waze tout en gardant les étapes prévues dans ChargeMap serait un énorme plus pour les utilisateurs de véhicules électriques. Merci d’envisager cette évolution !2 votes -
Prevent route popup when using android auto
Route popup always appears on start up. This is not always wanted as it hogs up the screen and each journey does not require a defined destination.
Adding an option to turn on/off on start up would be nice.

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 -
"Along route" should be a choice when searching for a point of interest!
Many times while driving I want to find a restaurant, bathroom, gas station, etc. I'll get results, but a) many are already far behind me, and b) the distance is off. How about giving an "Along route" option? Unless the only option is behind me, it is silly that I have to test 4 or 5 choices that move me backwards before I find one that is ahead of me. Waze knows where I am headed and knows where the places are, so that should be the clear and obvious option.
And why can't the distance be correct? Again, Waze…

Construction Closure: Intersections
I was thinking about how we can close roads on WME. It would be nice to be able to close multiple roads or just an intersection by drawing something like a junction box and then being able to set parameters. Sometimes Just an intersection will be closed for construction but you can still drive up to the construction to get to your destination. If it could just close within the box-

"You have arrived at 'HOME'''
“If I click "Home" to go there, I would like to hear, "You have arrived at 'HOME', instead of what it says 'You have arrived at your 'DESTINATION'". It's much nicer to hear that I have arrived at home. Thanks”

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.

Choose use of higways or not upon entering navigation or right after entering navigation info
Make a popup asking if we want to use the highway or not when we enter navigation info that is easy to find. We dont always need to use the highway and its not easy to find that option if we are in a hurry or just want to take the scenic route to a destination. We should easily turn it on or off, thanks.

Keyboard missing on vehiscle screen when using Apple Car Play
The Keyboard is missing on the vehicle screen when using Apple Car Play. This forces the use of the app on the phone to enter a destination. Totally user unfriendly. The microphone function isn't totally reliable and can be frustrating.

BUG
BUG:
If motorways are unchecked in preferences and you are already on the motorway, then you want to add you destination, then Waze says "OUPS...". It seems that it is impossible for the algorithm to understand that it needs first to exit the motorway ;-)1 voteThanks for reaching out.

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.
