Add option to avoid toll roads in certain countries
If a route spans across multiple countries, it would be nice to be able to tell Waze that I would like to avoid tolls in specific countries. For example if my route goes via three countries, I would like to avoid toll roads in Country 2 only, but still use them in Country 1 and Country 3.

location services
Can you change the location services choices and add "only when using the app" instead of "always"? I love the app but I don't want it continuously running in the bacground draining battery and using data.

Adding current location as a waypoint
Is there a way to add ones current location (ie via long/lat) to be saved as a favorite? For example, the parking lot we use at the Citrus bowl doesn't have a "street address", however, it does have a "long/lat" address.

Sound Alert for Nearby Reports
Say someone made a report using Waze. But you don't look at the phone constantly. It would be nice to hear a sound alert through the phone, letting you know that there is a Report (be it an accident, police, etc...) upcoming or nearby.

Automatic Alternative Routes
Give automatic alternative routes. I like Waze but I use Google maps because of the automatic alternative routes choices. Google maps can also calculate a route if I make a wrong turn. I am in my car as part of my job and I need this option for traffic jams, accidents, etc.

Disable auto route to suggested destination
Often when I start my day, I'm not heading directly to the office. However, even after I enter a destination, I'll be prompted to navigate to "work". It will switch my destination without my input or any notification. Please turn off auto select for that navigation option. It's frustrating to think that Waze is taking me a traffic free route to find out it's navigating me to the wrong destination.

Landscape redesign
Please can you redesign the landscape mode on Waze. The black box at the top with next turn and street name is to big. Reducing the size or making it transparent would let us see more of the map. Also the small black box at the button with time and distance could be split and move next to the navigation and report button. This would also give more screen space for the map.
29 votesGreat news! Moving the black box at the top of the screen when in landscape is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Traffic Reporting
users report traffic even at 2am on an empty street as heavy or even standstill just to get points.
Recommend a change where the user only presses a button that says "report traffic". Then the app over 3 minutes send location and speeds to server and server decides based on reported speed vs posted speed, the heaviness of traffic. At 80% if posted a peed you mark "moderate". At 60% it's "heavy" and at 40%, it's at a "standstill".
29 votesGreat news! The feature where reporting Traffic Jam's severity based on speedometer reading is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Please REMOVE the SPEEDOMETER and Show the posted SPEED LIMIT instead!
I usually type long long long posts, but the title of this speaks for itself. Just a couple more details below.....
Nokia had a GPS app called HERE Drive. It showed you what speed you were going and what the posted speed limit of the road was. Very handy.
The release of Windows 10 has caused the HERE Drive app to be deleted and replaced with Windows Maps. Some of it the same and some different, but everything good was taken away. Windows Maps is horrible, and many people are now looking to choose a new app for navigation.

Navigation modes for familiar routes
During my long daily commute I listen to audiobooks and I have to turn off the Waze auto navigation (I'm just monitoring traffic & reporting police). If there is heavy traffic or an accident, I then have turn the navigation back on. It would be nice if the familiar routes were recognized and navigation only appeared if there is an event ahead. I don't need navigation for familiar routes unless there is an event that will delay my trip, which I think should be the idea behind learning familiar routes.
