Resuming your current drive
When my current drive was interrupted, waze used to ask if I wanted to resume my current drive whilst showing a progress bar slowly moving. If I didn't respond it would simply resume my drive. This was handy since I didn't have to take my eyes off the road to respond, yes. Now all of a sudden, it doesn't show the progress bar and waits for me to click yes. If I don't respond the current drive now stops and I have to enter my destination again and start a new drive. What changed and can I get the progress…

Why is there no FROM location and a TO destination? I can only START from my home address or go TO my home address.
Garmin has a START FROM anywhere TO anywhere. WAZE doesn’t.

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.

Reporting
After using Waze religiously for the last 3 years for every journey I have always wanted one change
I think it would massively increase the user experience to be able to report for the other side of the road also. As it stands the only reporting available for the other side of the road is in the crash report
There has been numerous occasions where there has been a nasty pot hole on the other side of the road that would be able to be reported should the ui be there, in all cases of traffic building up on the…

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.

Police
Can you please bring back the police in motion choice? It would be nice to be able to hit two choices as well. For example police in motion and on other side. It would also be helpful if you could comment on where the police are... Like side of the road, in motion, other side, in median, etc as well as what kind of vehicle they are driving

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 -
Move compass lock icon when in Landscape mode
The compass lock icon is hidden behind the contacts icon when the phone is on its side. Please adjust where these icons are located so that I can lock/unlock North!

Keep present location on map screen at all times
When I supposedly arrive at my destination the Waze app and map "resets" to an obscure location miles away. The map view must remain where you are so you can see the roads around you. I missed the entrance to my destination and my navigation shut off (as I had 'arrived') and reset to a place miles away. I then proceeded blindly to find my way back to my turn and got lost in the process. The map needs to show where your vehicle is at all times! It used to be that way and something changed, for the worse.…

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 -
"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…

"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”

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.

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-

Arrows with the direction of the streets
It is imperative to have the direction of the streets, because if you don't have them there is always the doubt of which side the cars are coming from. Google Maps has it.

Show "Where to?" Only when the app is Fully loaded
Sometimes when opening app (mobile), you can immediately tap "where to?" And start choosing the destination, but then while typing, suddenly input view closes back to main view and you accidentally tap on something and app starts calculating routes you dont even want to go to. That is annoying! Better do not show the "Where to?" Untill the app is totally loaded and ready. It would make overall UX more pleasant in a rush.

Allow user to define Favorite Routes and choose to use them
Allow the user to compare Favorite Routes to a destination (eg. Work) against quicker routes, show time difference and allow user to choose. This could be enhanced further by allowing the user to define a time difference (eg. 5mins) such that the favorite route is presented even if there are faster routes within the defined (5min) window. I am yet to come across a GPS or application that offers this functionality

Do you have a snow mode? Flat road mode.
I believe you should be able to click ONE button that says snow mode because that would say to WAZE to choose a route that has flat roads only, even if it takes me way out of my way it chooses either flat or the most traveled roads. That way, I will hit the least amount of icy hilly dangerous or unplowed side roads. It would override busy intersections or other choices but keep you flat and safe.

Don't Record Client Tracks within Origin/Dest Zone
As a new wazer and getting into editing I noticed several "map problems" and new roads caused by entering/exiting parking lot or building structures.
Current work around is to add Parking POIs or add the parking lot roads as road type parking.
I believe this could be alleviated by simply not having Waze client record or "count" the GPS track within a set distance from Origin (time device first plugged in or new navigation started) and Destination (device turned off or navigation stopped)
I would recommend a distance of about 100 yards.
This should help cut down on the extra…
