  1. Be able to "drop a pin" at current location and add to favorites

    It'd be good to be able to drop a pin at current location and give it a name and add it to favorites. The current method of having to do addresses or POI searches is not always workable--especially on small form-factor devices.

    Thank you for your suggestion!
    As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
    We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
    You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.

    We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!

    Want to try another voice?

    Tap Menu and tap the Settings wheel.
    Tap Voice & sound.
    Tap Voice Language and select the voice you’d like to use.

  3. expose intents

    for all clients expose an API

    for Android expose:

    • intents
    • broadcast intents
    • application shortcuts

    for the slightly savvier user this allows accelerated navigation by macro (Tasker, Llama, OmniDroid, et al)

    API allows for similar macro- or automation apps on iOS (ipad, iPhone), windows mobile, other platforms surely

    instead of

    ° load waze
    ° click or swipe to open navigate to UI
    ° search for address
    ° select match
    ° go
    ° pick route

    the macro app could accomplish this in

    ONE click

    this is employing merely one of a panoply of time saving waze measures

  4. Weather overlay

    I would love to have a real time weather overlay on the WAZE maps. This would be a GREAT feature to add to aid in knowing more about driving conditions. Please vote and let's see what we can do to make it happen.

  5. Plane/Aircraft overheard notification..for Fun

    Add a new notification: "Plane/Aircraft" overheard/visible at lowish altitude with details of type, airline etc. Just for fun! Answer that question "what's that plane I can see" when driving under flightpaths in cities.

    Work with flightradar or planefinder to get the data feed that you need to support this.

    Could also do this for ships, working with Marinetraffic/shipfinder

  7. Allow swipe to close notifications.

    When a notification appears on the Waze client, there's an "X" on the top-right corner to close it. The close button also has an auto-timer, which is fine.

    However, while driving it is hard to tap the exact location of the "X" and often i tap on another nearby portion of the screen, which only causes the display to change. And waiting for the timer is not always practical (i only need 3-5 seconds to read a notification, not up to 15 seconds!).

    So instead (or additionally)... why not have the notifications close by simply swiping them off the screen?…

  8. Please put in place a repeat command/direction.

    Directions/commands are sometimes hard to hear or missed. A repeat function is essential and absolutely necessary!

  9. Letting us know when the last waze user was on the road you’re currently on.

  10. add option to disable traffic based routing

    When routing, waze often attempts to route around traffic. Waze is used occasionally for just the first part of a journey (navigating a downtown area, for example) and I find it selecting a completely different route every time I use it because it attempts to route around the traffic at work.

    Another example is that during extremely heavy traffic in a snowstorm, waze had me exiting at every freeway exit and then entering the freeway again, simply because the freeway exits had little traffic on them compared to the freeway itself.

    Because of this, there should be a simpler routing…

  11. Smartwatch support: Would love to be able to get alerts such as police by my watch vibrating, so I don't miss any alerts.

    I'd love to get alerts on my smartwatch so I can get alerts in a more discreet way.

  14. Help clients to recover lost points

    Good afternoon. Use your wonderful product daily for over almost three years now. 12 year-old son downloaded app for me. Accumulated around 175,000 points, when a young nephew erased it from my phone.

    How can I recover points when initial download listed my phone number instead of an email? Nothing has changed whatsoever with my account but informed that I simply have to open a new account and eat over two years of voluntary support to my fellow Wazers!!

    Account was HazyMcLar under Larry Hay at phone number 4167954830. Was not able to open new account under same name. New…

  15. It would be nice if the option existed to have seconds displayed on the clock.

    It would be nice if the option existed to display seconds on the clock. The way I use the app and running a route I need to record the time. If it isbefore 30 seconds after the minute we have to mark it back. If after 30 seconds then we mark the next minute as the arrival time. If this possible?

  18. New iPhone X UI

    UI on iPhone X needs to be optimized so far.
    Important information are partially or totally masked.
    In landscape mode : car cursor partialy masked
    In portrait mode : road names are masked and mask roads itselves.
    Spotify button is a the left side now : why ?!
    Anyway, I can't take the the road without Waze :)

  20. Speed up points updates! I've been registered and driving for two days and had no updates yet. Why so slow?! Seems a bit '90s.

    I've been registered and driving for two days and had no updates yet. Why so slow?! Seems a bit '90s. In this day and age, I'd expect the points to be on my dashboard by the time I get out of the car and into the house/office.
