  1. PERMANENTLY disable sounds including after updates

    Stop turning the damn sound/ voice back on with every f-ing update. We turn that crap off for a reason and I am getting tired of resetting the sounds to OFF with every f-ing update!

  2. Autodetect closures and closed roads

    Waze should automatically detect closures and close roads without relying on Wazers to use the in-app closure function or on map editors to add them. Just as Waze can detect traffic and reroute, it could also detect when no one follows the directed guidance and there is zero traffic on a segment. Then when Wazer start driving on the segment again it could reopen.

    Google Maps (part of Google Geo) gets closure info from Waze. And Waze (part of Google Geo) should also get closure info from Google Maps. It doesn't now, and instead will route Wazers into a closed…

  6. Ability to switch speed/speed limit display.

    The speed limit is the critical information. Currently it is the smaller of the two shown. Often, on a phone, the speed limit is too hard to read.

  9. Option to have the "menu" and "report" buttons to be invisible so as not to have a burn in ghost image of the buttons on screen.

    The screen is usually ON through out the duration of driving. The MENU and REPORT buttons have a high likelihood to be "burned in" screen, creating a "permanent" ghost image.

    Having the option to replace it with invisible hotspots (frequent users will know where to touch anyway) will minimize this because of moving images.

    AMOLED screens are fairly prone to "burn in"

    Bonjour, Je roule actuellement avec une voiture qui consomme du Sans Plomb 98 (autrement appeler SP 98) une alternative du SP 95, mais peu de station en propose, je pense qu'il serait pas mal d'ajouter ce carburant ce qui aiderais pas mal les recherches.

  12. App radio One Compatibility

    Please update Waze to be compatible with Pioneer AppRadio One car stereos. This was one feature I really wanted and thought I'd be getting with my new car deck, I was disappointed to see it was only compatible with older versions.

  13. Have a manual option to modify route of travel

    WAZE gives a route for fastest or shortest trip which is great in most cases . But could we give user's the option to take a less congested or more scenic route as a user's choice by allowing changes to the route instructions or on the map like Google maps with a drag and drop option.OR better yet allow import of Google saved maps into WAZE.

  15. Android Jelly Bean multi window support

    There is a new feature in Jelly Bean, on higher resolutions I can split the screen between 2 apps, so it would be nice if Waze supported that too, so I could see Waze AND music player simultaneously.

  16. Setting to turn off big purple road names

    Many times these "new" big purple road names block the map at intersections and make it difficult to know if you are turning onto the correct street.

  17. cumulate roundabouts

    when there is a series of roundabouts where you have a long straight route, the voice guidance quickly becomes annoying, as it repeats the same thing over and over again.

    take this example (i have recorded the route and waze behaviour) https://youtu.be/80v8nIPkqQ0

    you hear the voice guidance repeating itself all over again

    instead when i have a clearly straight route interrupted by roundabouts, please just tell me "roundabout, slow down". that's the most important thing a driver need to listen to when they approach a roundabout that does not change their course.

    stop repeating to me that i should take…

  18. Add a feature/option to avoid railroad crossings

    Today I got stuck waiting for a freight train twice. It would have saved me time to have an option on Waze to give me an alternate route and how many minutes the detour takes in order to avoid the railroad crossing. When I got stuck for the 2nd time I took a right turn to explore the area and found an underpass 2 blocks away, which saved me about 5 minutes. This gave me the idea.

  20. Stop automatically rerouting to Waze's preferred route

    Your selected route should be "sticky" or require permission to change.

    Waze is great, we all know that. But there is one issue that is almost service-breaking. When I select an alternate route, as opposed to waze's preferred route, if I make one minor change (such as backing out to the left when Waze expected me to go right), Waze will put me back on its preferred route.

    This happens every time. More than once Waze has rerouted me onto the Interstate in rush hour even though I had explicitly chose a different route 10 seconds earlier. There is no…
