"Where Am I Button." Instantly gives GPS address and nearest local address.Drop a marker. Save that marker location as a-z designation, Easily ported for transmittal into text, email or messenger messages. Be able to "drop" a marker and then return to it at anytime by selecting it from an a-z designated list of markers. Be able to identify a list of these markers and then have WAZE find the shortest path between all the selected markers. This would help someone who has a list of clients and on any given day has to make deliveries to say 12 of them.…

Danger Alarm(Warn Dangerous Points in the Roads)
Hello . I live in Iran. Every year in our country, 30000 die in traffic accident and many injure. There are some places in our roads that frequently accidents happen in the places. One place that I know is the entrance of our city from highway that sometimes bad accidents happen in there. This is because of the inaccurate and inefficient design of the roads. Those who are familiar with the place mostly ride carefully in the dangerous part of the roads, and accidents often happen for those that are unfamiliar with the road.
I suggest that an alarm to…

Reporting road closures is a joke.
No matter how much you tap all over the screen you can't report a road closure. Also can't do it on the run and map is too convoluted. You should provide a comment box to type in or say the name of the road and nearest cross street where closure is. And you can do it at any time even after you stop driving or reach your destination. The road closure will still be closed.

Regular commute notification
Like most of people, I have a regular work schedule, my commute to work is always the same time and route. I do not have to check my navigation app every morning, but when something unusual happens on my route, I think I should be notified.
Most of us are using navigation apps when traveling, or going somewhere for the first time. But most of our driving time is commuting to work. We should be able to program our commuting times and routes in these apps for whatever schedule we have. If we are driving fide days a week from…

No left without light option
I find too option Waze has me make Left turns where there is no Lights at these very difficult intersections. I think an option to avoid left left turns without lights altogether would be much easier and much safer. It would definitly benefit me.

Less verbose mode (few short instructions)
I would like to have a "less verbose mode" where the voice navigation would just say a few short instructions, like "turn right" for example, without all the verbose stuff like street names; or "speed trap", without all the useless words around it.
The reason is that sometimes I like to listen to music, or audiobooks, or having a conversation while driving, and I find that Waze verbosity is very annoying.15 votesWe plan to work on th Brief instructions Option in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

Connect Waze to sireneradar.com to let Waze show a warning of an approaching emergency vehicle.
In the Netherlands we have the sireneradar.com initiative. Most emergency services are connected to this system.
The location of the police/fire/ambulance-vehicle is reported realtime to the platform, That data is available to navigation vendors like TomTom and Flitsmeister, and they sound and display a warning to their users for an approaching emergency vehicle.
This way the Waze users get an early warning, so they can be extra alert when they need to.

Waze android auto: zoom in/out from the joystick
Waze in android auto should allow us zooming in/out from the multimedia joystick like we can do with google maps.
Maybe it would be intersting a new botton called zoom to highlight it and then we could move the joystick.15 votes -

Add warning about "Off-road/Not maintained" segments
Following warnings can be used:
* voice warning - on navigating to new POI, on entering "Off-road/Not maintained" segments
* show such segments as bars with special color on roure chart similar to bars with traffic jams
* highlight such segments with special color on map. With current implementation user is able to find such segments with map color scheme for editors. After navigating to POI it is covered with bold line of proposed route so colors are not visible15 votes -

Umweltzone/environmental zones
In many countries in Europe environment zones are popping up. In these zones you can only drive if you have a sticker showing your car create less pollution than certain levels.
For instance, inner München is off-limit to older diesel cars.
You should be able in the app to indicate what label, if any, your car have, then not be routed into forbidden areas.

Use accelerometers and gyroscopes to suppliment GPS data
Use accelerometers and gyroscopes to increase accuracy of location with with virtually no power increase. It would also allow navigation through tunnels and such when GPS location is lost. It would also prevent erroneous movement while stopped at a traffic light. There are companies testing this type of technology. One that I have been following but have no financial interest in is navisens.com There are videos from navisens at https://www.youtube.com/user/navisens

To stop WAZE from automatically shutting down
Could it be possible to keep WAZE active, until the user closes the app down. Ok here is what WAZE has done for years. You activate waze, put in your route and go. You then minimize Waze. Waze happily stays active if you are on the move. BUT become stuck in traffic, Waze will just shutdown. Could Waze be designed to not shutdown the app if minimised, when you are stuck in traffic. It is so annoying. You won't realise Waze is shutdown unless you look at your phone screen and fire Waze back up again, which well then say…

Show address in final navigation screen when approaching.
I LOVE that Waze now accesses my Apple calendar to see my appointments & the time. SO very helpful, as Waze is my go to map app (I am an on the road sales rep). But I have to exit Waze & return to my calendar entry to see the exact street address I am looking for. The final navigation screen will have the name & phone number of the person I'm trying to visit, but not the address, the most important part. Really annoying!

Tagging the lane of an accident
It would be nice for users to have the ability to tag what lane(s) an accident is in when they report an accident. Often users add this information in comments, but that takes time and becomes hazardous to look through as you're driving.
