Please add a coastal and water way navigation with chart data, depth, hazards, no wake zones, locks, navigation buoys etc.

התראה באיילון על מצלמות נתיב תחבורה ציבורית במקום מצלמת מהירות
עכשיו שהתקינו את מצלמות למטרת קנס לרכבים פרטיים הנוסעים בנתיב תחבורה ציבורית
כל 1 ק"מ הוויז מתריע על מצלמת מהירות במקום מצלמת תחבורה ציבורית
שבפועל מצלמות אלה לא בודקות מהירות - וזה סתם גורם לברקסים ותאונות5 votes -
ergonomy suggestion
On map screen, the arrival time is with BIGGER characters than the distance to the next turn (left up corner) and with a weaker contrast. I'm a bit old, I can see the arrival time very clearly, but it is not the MAIN information I need.
The next turn distance is a bit difficult to read for me and necessits attention. I would prefer to see clearly and quickly the next turn distance.5 votes -
arriving with destination on the right for those of us that use the app to navigate with a disabled person on board the vehicle
I use my waze while at work driving disabled people to destinations, the vehicle is equipped with a passenger side lift for those in mobility devices, an option to arrive at the destination with it being on the right side of the vehicle would be both safer and more convenient.

Report menu redesign
Nowadays reporting menu is not fluent enough to use while driving, especially when reporting hazards, due to heavy use of text in the menus Latest update even made the font smaller...
I feel that hazard report menu should contain icons in the same matter the main menu uses them. Meaning: car, animal and anything else should have an icon describing. Thus, making the reporting duty during driving a hell of a lot easier. Same goes with the lane choice for the report (you can barely see those tiny arrows there).5 votes -

Route color coding.
In navigation programs currently route to go is shown in single colour.
It can be colour coded to show descent and ascent, with intensity of colour changing according to steepness.
That would decrease risks when overtaking, as descents are hard to spot, and another car can be hiding there.
Current maps can be updated, when there are changes in altitude not matching ones known in app. No manual work would be needed; averages of reporting can be used.5 votes -

ממוצע זמן נסיעה בשעה נתונה ויום מוגדר
הכוונה היא לאותם אנשים שעושים נסיעה חדשה, בעיקר בשעות הבוקר למקום חדש ואין להם שום מושג כיצד להערך לזה. לצורך העניין אם מחר יש לי פגישה במקום שאינו במסלול הקבוע שלי, איני יודעת כמה זמן נסיעה זה עשוי לקחת ובהתאם כל ההתארגנות ושעת התעוררות בבוקר משתנה.

Semaphores
Waze could have an algorithm to detect where are the semaphores in the city, and keep how long they take to open, to avoid the semaphores that take longer.
There are some semaphores in São Paulo that take too long to open. It would be very useful to avoid them.5 votes -

Waze should reroute my drive when there is a accident and major backup, right? But it does not. Do I have a setting not setup correctly?

provide a Navigation Prompt whenever the road name changes.
This is needed in two scenarios:
When a turn from Smith Ave to Jones Street, for example, is slight enough the client provides no direction. No matter how slight the angle of entry to a new road is, the client should say "turn right" or "slight right" on the road with a different name than the current road. This is especially confusing if Waze is running in the background, since my eyes are telling me I'm at an interchange and Waze isn't providing direction.Also, when the road you are driving on changes names but continues straight in the same…

STOP 180° car rotation when standing still
So I come to a stop light, and after a while, my car and map (not the screen) rotates, I guess, as it thinks I actually did make a U turn. Problem is my speed is 0km/h. It happens even when you have a destination to navigate to, and then, all of u sudden, I'm turned around and I'm being shown to make first to the right. I start driving, the whole thing rotates ones again, and I miss my left turn !?!?! I think it's because it get's a satellite position which shifted a bit, so it thinks that…

choose navigation type on navigation screen and on route picker
To switch between Shortest or Fastest you have to go into settings->navigation->type and choose shortest or fastest. I often switch between these modes when picking my route so it would make sense to have that option available in the same screen as where the routes are chosen AND on the "navigate to" screen.

Don't show "Continue Straight" until shortly before it's needed
Showing a continue straight as next turn hundreds of km before it's reached is annoying. I'd like to know what my actual next turn is. While it can be useful in many situations it's not needed until shortly before you reach it.
I suggest only display in app when the first prompt for it is announced.
Example:
In the example, I'm already on I-95 N. I don't need to know that in 76 miles I need to continue on I-95 (it actually started displaying about 200 miles before)

Add vehicle’s height
Hi
I think that adding a feature to your waze account where you can choose your car height would help you by driving in adjusted roads and driving eventually in a more accurated path4 votes -

Collaborative Routing
Waze works like the most other Navigation Apps. You can choose between 1 and 3 different fixed routes, that sometimes slightly change when there is a lot of traffic ahead. The problem is, that Waze works like a broadcast as far as I know.
So when Route 1 have heavy traffic, all other users get Route 2 to avoid traffic. The problem here is, that new heavy traffic will be created to avoid the first.
All cars following the same alternative route.
Instead of rely on fixed routes, each user should get a personal routing suggestion l, each Route little…
