  1. Higher contrast roads in night mode

    When driving at night, I can barely see thin grey roads against the black background. Meanwhile, as I pass roads that need to be verified (chomped), I see all the bright white dots. I'd prefer to have more emphasis on the roads I'm actually using. It's distracting, and distractions when driving, at night no less, are a bad idea!

    I have an iPhone 5. Although I have not used waze on other devices, I would assume they have the same color scheme, and thus the same issue.

    Alternatively, provide a means to customize the night color scheme like you can…

    Thank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is now integrated with several audio apps including Spotify, Deezer, TuneIn, iHeart Radio, Pandora and more. Just go to Settings > Audio Player and pick your favorite app.

  4. Express Lanes - Avoid Express Lanes option

    A nice feature would be a setting to avoid Express Lanes, like the ones on I95 (I-95) that require the EZ-Pass. Currently the only way to do this is to enable "Avoid Toll Roads." However this makes my route avoid the tunnel or bridge that I DO want to use. Avoiding the tunnel or bridge would add 20 or more minutes to my drive.
    Basically, separate out the luxury Express Lanes from toll roads and create another setting for them.
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

  7. Waze calculates time to leave, sends reminder to leave, so I can be at "x" on time

    Waze calculates what time I should leave and sends a notification (text, etc), based on current traffic and what time I would like to be at my final destination.
    Example:
    I have to pick up a friend at 5PM, but I am still at work. Waze sends me a note, predicting that I should leave by 4:25PM to arrive at my friend's location for approx 5PM.

  8. iOS 18 Dark Icon! PLEASE

    Dear WAZE Support,

    I hope this message finds you well. I’ve been using your app for some time now and truly appreciate its features. With the release of iOS 18, I was wondering if you could consider adding a dark mode icon option for the app.

    It would be a great addition for those of us who prefer a consistent dark theme across our devices.

    Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response!

    Best regards,
    Julian

  9. Routing overview

    I would like a routing overview option to easily access when driving for two reason:
    1: For longer routes to see were I am in the country.
    2: For shorter routes to have an overview of the traffic situations.

    This option could be a button directly on the map, maybe as an option to turn on/off from Settings or as an option in the pop up window where the mute, stop navigation, navigation list and recalculate route are.

    Possibilities:
    - check next turns list by clicking on the directions panel on the top, select ‘next turns’ tab
    - check reports on the route by clicking on the directions panel on the top, select ‘reports ahead’ tab
    - check map view of your route by clicking on ETA bar at the bottom, select ‘Routes’ and then ‘map view’

  10. Taxi Features / Funcionalidades para taxis

    Develop options for taxi navigation such as:
    - Routes that have exclusive lanes of taxi use;
    - Proposed destination by proximity that has a shorter travel time for the passenger to end their route by walking. For example, if the navigation can determine that a point of up to 300 meters (parameter) of the destination will significantly reduce the travel time, this can be given as an option to the passenger.

    Desenvolver opções para navegação de taxis como:
    - Rotas que possuem faixas exclusivas de uso de taxi;
    - Proposta de destino por proximidade que tenha um tempo de percurso…

  11. Notifications when screen off, like Google Maps

    Google Maps has a very practical feature for travelers who frequently use the same route over and over: Turn your phone screen off, and you'll be notified whenever turns are coming up. If you know the route, maybe it's a long one and you just want to be reminded not to miss turns, it's really useful to have these notifications.

    In Google Maps, this notification feature extends really well onto Pebble watches, so your wrist gets a gentle vibration for each upcoming turn while the phone screen is off.

    Could Waze please raise turn notifications when the screen is off?

  13. allow navigation voice to interrupt call

    some people want this disabled, but i rely on navigation instructions in unknown areas.

    i prefer waze voice amidst my phone call rather than fly by my exit while someone jabbers on my Bluetooth speakerphone

    make it a toggle option to please both camps

    and xmpp text those in my non "social" media friends (i have real friends)

    allow audio blurbs to interrupt also (jingle)

  14. Toll

    I wish that there was a better way to handle toll roads. I live in an area surrounded by toll roads. It is cost prohibitive to use them all of the time. It is critically necessary to use them at other times. Unfortunately, you can have either of these situations several times in a single day. It is impractical to change the setting to avoid toll roads multiple times in a day. In my mind the best solution would be for us to have a user setting that determines when tollroads would be used. For example, if the routing knew…

    Waze usually builds up to three route alternatives – it’s up to you to choose the one which fits you most (with or without tolls as well). To check route alternatives, tap ‘Routes’ after initial route was built – list view and map view is available.

  18. Sync across multiple devices

    Waze should sync across multiple devices so that we can see our scorecard, mood, account settings, etc. regardless of which device I'm using at the time. Most significant apps have this feature already.

  20. Turn off the GPS when exiting the app

    On the iPhone when you exit the app, the GPS is still engaged. On other GPS apps, if there is no ACTIVE ROUTE, the GPS is turned off upon exit. This should be implemented in Waze.
