Show and announce destination upon auto-suggestion navigation start.
When starting navigation via auto-suggestion the driver in fact does not know where to until arrival :) which is sometimes fun, sometimes not. This is not related only to home/work , but also to calendar entries, when skipping one event for the next one calendar based destination takes me to the first place. I would rather be offered a bunch of 3 most probably destinations to choose from rather than stopping the naviagation just to know where to. The destination address shoud be clearly stated on the routes and routes detal views.

Finding stops close by enroute to your destination
First, I am a highly experienced WAZE user and customer. I help with road hazards and posting to help other drivers, as much as I can. On a recent trip from New Jersey to Florida, using WAVE constantly, we wanted to find the upcoming Rest Stops or Gas Stations, that were upcoming ahead and "enroute" to our destination. I found it hard to believe that this feature does not exist?! When I was looking for a car wash or gas station, it gave every destination, all over the place in a circumference, behind us, 40 miles away...instead of…

Have Waze check the hours of operation to ensure you will arrive while destination is open.
I went to Lowes on Sunday, only to find out that the closest store to me was closed on Sundays (Blue Laws). There were 2 other Lowes stores that were close by that were open.
Suggestion: When entering a destination that has the hours of operation completed, have Waze tell driver that the location is closed, or that it will be closed at ETA. Driver can then override the message and still go to destination, or pick a new destination of same type or name. Of course, this would only work for locations that have hours of operation.

Do not autoclear the final destination when (almost) reached
With a recent update, when entering your final destination, Waze thinks you made it and clears the route. Sometimes I pass the point close, but there is no parkingspace in the streets, so i have to continu my road and a re-route. Would be nice if the end-destination is not cleared so it automatically reroutes you back.

Vehicle on left side of highway
Please add an option to report a vehicle stopped on the LEFT side of the highway. Often a Wazer will report a car on the side of the road, but it’s actually against the left wall and it’s confusing and dangerous.

Be able to connect a parking lot with another address or destination
When you edit a map you should be able to associate the places the visitor should park, especially if the lot is owned by the destination or there is a parking discount.

Show map and directions immediately after entering a destination
An option to switch off the route summary after choosing a destination would be useful. This summary hijacks your screen and it is not always easy to hit OK while driving. This screen will pop up sometimes when a connection is lost and then restored

Remove the destination suggestion box
Upon startup of Waze in Android auto there is a destination suggestion box. Please remove this! This was provided after a more recent update a few months ago. What often happens is the suggestion box does not go away. It seems to get stuck. Oftentimes it prohibits me from actually entering a destination. There is an X to close the window. However the window will sometimes go away automatically after a little time. However pressing the X will often not work to close the window. This suggestion box is more problematic than helpful.

want to create link on website, that make Waze destination point by clicking on it (using smartphone browser)
Invent URN format like waze:// and register waze to handle it. Then will be possible to create Waze destinations on websites to easy navigate.
Same URN can be used as easy destination sharing with friends.5 votes -
to choose a few destination points
לבחור כמה נקודות יעד הוויז יבחר לי את המסלול מהקרוב לרחוק או הפוך מהרחוק לקרוב למוצא
to choose a few destination points and for Waze to choose the route for me from near to far or vice versa from far to near the origin

Show others going to the same destination.
Since this is part social app why not show how many are headed to the same destination as you. Not the actual usernames but just the number of people. It would be cool to know how many are headed to the same game, or restaurant.

accept GPS coordinates as destination
Most apps which derive GPS. location express numerically as
latitude comma longitude
please accept each with decimal precision to 19 digits
also add logic to accept paranthetic coordinates
543 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze supports GPS coordinates as destination.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram -
Waze navigation is deteriorating. Asking directions to a nearby town, Waze chooses a street name miles away, complete nonsense
Offer major destination first, little side roads as a last resort

Re-enable Other Side Police Reporting
Otherside Police Reporting- This was probably one of the best features of the App- other than the same side regular police notification. It gives a warning for less traveled roads that may have a Waze user traveling in the other direction on a less traveled road whereas a same way traveler has not yet passed and left an Alert. PLEASE BRING THAT FEATURE BACK ASAP!

this will potentialy operate a smart gate42 votes -
update alerts for other side of road
I would like to be able to update alerts on either side of the road as no longer there, not just the side of the road I'm traveling on. Just like how Waze currently asks if a hazard is still there if it's in my traveling direction, it'd be nice to be able to click on a hazard or alert on the opposite side of the road and delete it if it's no longer there or relevant.
Also, what happened to reporting hazards/traffic on the opposite side of the road after this newest android update? It's awful! It needs to…18 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Be able to show an accident or hazard for the opposite side of the road. Many times, we'll see it on the opposite side.
Many times, we see accidents on the opposite but when we report it, it says our side.

Please allow a user to spell a destination.
Waze sometimes misinterprets what a user says. I live in an area where both English and French are spoken. I have Waze set to use English. However, some destinations are in French (Canadian) in these cases, Waze misunderstands. Allowing users to speak the spelling of a destination would avoid getting the wrong destination with the irritating "got it" that means you can't change anything. Also, requiring a spoken "Yes" or "No" to confirm would help.
