Lack of Context in Rerouting: Security Risks and User Autonomy
The current Waze algorithm often reroutes users on long-distance trips without providing the underlying reason (e.g., specific accidents, road closures, or incremental traffic). While this "silent optimization" might work for short urban commutes, it represents a significant strategic failure for long-haul navigation for the following reasons:
Safety vs. Efficiency: By prioritizing the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) above all else, the app frequently diverts drivers from well-monitored, high-infrastructure highways to poorly maintained or dangerous secondary roads to save a negligible amount of time. Without knowing why the route was changed, the driver cannot assess if the time-saving is worth the…2 votes -

Product Gap
Limiting routes to only one stop is a major usability gap—most navigation apps support multiple stops, and this is a basic expectation, especially for Android Auto users.
Also, the inability to edit destinations after adding a stop and the lack of address visibility for saved contacts are functional limitations, not feature requests.
This impacts real-world usage like errands, deliveries, or multi-stop trips. It reduces Waze’s practicality compared to competitors.
Please confirm if these are actively being worked on or planned. Redirecting to the suggestion box doesn’t resolve the current usability problems.

multicolor traject controlled side bar
The side bar appearing when you are in a speed controlled zone (traject control) is always green. If the average speed of this zone is 70 can the app constantly calculate your speed and keep the bar green when you are in this average speed but turn yellow when you reach 70 and red when you cross the average speed (71-up) so you know you need to slow down to stay on the average speed, or you have room to speed up a little when you had to stop for any reason without overspeeding the average speed.

Option to remove quick access on sound/mute from map display
Please give us the option to remove quick access sound button from the map display. I prefer a clean map without all the unnecessary button on the display. The settings button is fine, should be allowed to remove everything else on the display. I never use sound navigation, it is a distraction otherwise.

Alternativní trasy/ Display distance difference for alternative routes
Poprosím u alternativních tras kromě času zobrazovat i kilometry:
Prakticky by stačila informace +4 min (barvou červenou) a -12 km (barvou zelenou).
jedná se o jasnou a rychlou informací. Jasná informace - pojedu déle, ale kratší trasou než je ta svájící navolená.
moc by mi to pomohlo. Děkuji LiHPlease display the distance difference alongside the time for alternative routes.
A simple indicator like "+4 min" (red) and "-12 km" (green) would provide instant clarity. It would allow drivers to quickly see if an alternative route is longer in time but shorter in distance compared to the current one. This…

Allow Wazers to suggest or change the voice pronunciation of street names.
Allow Wazers to suggest or change the voice pronunciation of street names. Listening to a pronunciation of a street that is way off is rritating. Locals are going to know the correct pronunciation. I cringe every time I hear what I presume to be AI, butcher a street name.

Predictive Speed Regulation to Prevent Phantom Traffic Jams
Feature: Predictive Speed Regulation to Prevent Phantom Traffic Jams
Problem:
When one vehicle hard-brakes on a highway, it creates a backward-traveling shockwave. Due to human reaction times, vehicles behind brake even harder — causing a dead-stop jam with no actual obstruction. These "phantom jams" cause thousands of rear-end collisions yearly.
Proposed Solution:
Waze already collects real-time GPS telemetry from millions of drivers. If the system detects a sudden velocity drop, it could instantly push a "Reduce speed to 60 km/h" advisory to drivers further back — absorbing the shockwave before it cascades.
I Built a Working Simulation:
I've created an…

speed display on map
My device is an apple iphone 17 useing carplay in a 2018 VOLVO XC60, something changed in the last month and now the waze menu is on the right hand side and covers the speed from GPS.
The Menu used to br on the left side with the settings on the lower rif

Average speed zone - keep indicator on screen in car play
If we can’t have the calculation of our average speed at least keep an icon on screen in car play. If we miss the notification we entered an average speed zone we may not realise we are in one.

Need an opinion for Satellite Mapping
What sets this app apart from other competing apps is its option to convert the map to satellite view, which is the only thing this app lacks to become my number one. I hope it will be added soon.

מקלטים מופיעים על המפה לבד
כפתור לשעת חירום זה טוב, עכשיו תסנכרנו את זה עם מערכת ההתרעות של פיקוד העורף ושיופיעו המקלטים הקרובים לבד ברגע שיש התרעה באזור בו נמצא הנהג, כי לגעת בטלפון בזמן נהיגה + לחץ של אזעקה זה מאוד מסוכן

Night-Safe Routing
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest adding a “Night-Safe Routing” option in Waze. This feature would allow users to choose routes that are safer and more comfortable when driving at night.
At night, some roads may be poorly lit, isolated, or less frequently used, which can make drivers feel unsafe or less confident, especially in unfamiliar areas. Current routing primarily focuses on travel time and traffic conditions, but does not account for nighttime safety factors.
By introducing a Night-Safe Routing option, Waze could prioritize routes that are better lit, more populated, and have more consistent traffic flow. This…

Road Surface Hazard (Partial or Full Road Flagging)
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest enhancing the hazard reporting feature by allowing users to flag either a portion or an entire road as having poor surface conditions (e.g., full of potholes or severe degradation), instead of reporting only individual potholes.
In many areas, road damage is not limited to a single spot but affects continuous segments or even the whole road. Reporting individual potholes in these situations does not accurately reflect the overall driving experience and may underestimate the level of discomfort or risk.
By enabling users to mark a partial segment or the entire road as…
