Electric car planning with chargers and battery info
I would like to use Waze like ABRP. For me Waze is the best GPS software to drive my car with. But nowadays I have an electric car and need to plan my trip with the battery level and consumption and the available electric chargers on my way. So I would like to see WAZE able to plan my route, adding to it the needed chargers to reach the destination, for example knowing the initial battery status, the consumption of the car it will be easy to understand when to charge and can add any of the available chargers to…

Fix the catastrophically bad basic route-planning
Stop gaslighting users about traffic, faster routes and GPS - Waze algorithms for route planning are the issue.!
It's the same on every journey. It needs fixing. Properly and urgently.
PS The picture is not my vehicle. ; )
The simplest journey, from my door to the local highway should be a straight road, 2.5 minutes but Waze makes a 270 degree loop, three times or more as long, on identical roads and traffic.
It is completely unreliable for journeys of every length - and it's not my GPS or traffic conditions!

Average Speed Cameras - NZ
New Zealand NZTA is introducing Average Speed Cameras which will detect your average speed over a long distance.
Can we implement a feature that will not only show you the start and finish point of the speed trap, but also your average speed whilst you’re within it to ensure you aren’t fined.
Thanks team!

Rua Íngreme
Olá equipe Waze.
O aplicativo é muito bom, mas acho viável a possibilidade de implementação de uma função para evitar ruas íngremes. Aqui em Belo Horizonte existem ruas que vão para o ceu. ***.1 vote -
Add Pause Button to Route Guidance
I use Waze a lot for local driving and frequently take small diversions to convenience stores or maybe swing by another store or a friend's house a few blocks away that is not on the original route.
I find it very hard to believe that no one has ever added a Pause button to route guidance.
I have seen it rationalized that it would be distracting while you're driving.
I would submit that the app continuing to recalculate a new route while you are diverting is ever more distracting. Especially, if you decide to stop the route because the continual…

Toll vs no toll cost estimating
Currently, Waze shows estimated costs for tolls which is very helpful. However, I think it would be very beneficial if there was a feature comparing the estimated cost of taking a toll road vs taking the longer ‘no toll’ option. For example, if a toll road might cost $5 but saves 15 minutes of driving, based on current average fuel prices (typical fuel type and average L/100km entered by user) could a cost estimate for fuel used on the longer route be used to compare and inform the decision for which route to take? For example, the $5 toll saving…

Setting for toll road suggestion
Have a setting in the app, where you can request a minimum time savings before the app gives you toll road suggestions. For example, only provide toll road options. If the time savings is 10 minutes or more. I do not need toll options when it’s only going to save me three minutes.

Screen flash
Hi, because I focus on the road. I only look at my phone when checking the route as I prefer not to have the Voice.
Please can you introduce a flashing screen when a hazard approaches or speed camera which would immediately advise a driver to slow down as in Formula One at a black Red flag, etc1 vote -
Proposals to improve driving
I notice that all the traffic reports made while driving (roadworks, blocked lanes, etc.) last too short.
I drive the same route every day and don't see the reports made the day before.
I also find it inconvenient, and dangerous, to post the above reports because they distract from driving and can be dangerous.
There should be a quicker and easier way to post the reports, and they should remain active for longer.
Furthermore, why not report traffic along the route by changing the arrival time color, like Google Maps, which changes the arrival time color depending on the traffic…1 vote -
Include traffic signal count on route summary.
For “short” routes or re-routes, include count of traffic signals. During peak periods, a longer route may be preferable with less signals, which have the potential for delay if even no delay exists at the time of route calculation. The definition of short is arbitrary and could be decided by the devs based on utility vs performance.

Arrival Times
Waze does not seem to take traffic Jams into account when posting arrival times. Sitting in traffic it just adds minutes to your arrival rather than adding a jam to the arrival time.

Create a Vehicle-Aware Routing System for Waze
The Waze Team should consider incorporating a feature that can detect a user’s vehicle and its specifications, such as its height and weight, and to use that data when generating routes. Incidents such as over-height trucks striking low bridges, overweight vehicles damaging roads, and large trucks being directed into streets that are too narrow could be significantly prevented through this vehicle-aware routing. Implementing this would be a significant step towards leveraging emerging technologies to improve user experience and safety in a way that other GPS systems currently fail to account for.

Fix “add a stop”
This isn’t a new idea, just a quality of life update that needs to happen. Please fix the add a stop search feature that will not just look for any option fitting the search description but the closest on the route and display or notify how much time is added to the trip. If I am in a new area and I am looking for a particular food stop or something, say srarbucks for this example, every stratbucks in the usa comes up in the search but they aren’t sorted by the closest on the route but rather anything any…

Auto start disable/timeout setting
Massively annoying when I enter a destination and the overview screen doesn’t give me chance to pick the preferred route before auto starting. A long distance navigation, 5 seconds isn’t enough time to properly review and allow selection of the route I want to take. Add an option in settings to disable auto route start altogether and also for those than want it on (since we can’t all have it the way we want) a setting to specify auto start timer please

subject: add feature to automatically sort multiple destinations by distance or direction.
message: hello Waze team,
I'm a regular user of your amazing app and I'd like to suggest a feature that could be extremely helpful for many users-especially delivery drivers 'couriers or anyone with multiple stops in their day.
feature request: please consider adding a feature that allows users to-enter multiple destinations at once (multi stop routing).automatically sort them either: by distance from the current location (closest to farthest) or in a specific direction (from south to north) .

Add option to select routes that have reduced exposure to the headlights of oncoming traffic at night
Add a driving preference/option that selects routes that have reduced exposure to the headlights of oncoming traffic at night to reduce glare and halos. In addition to generally avoiding busy streets, the route chosen might prioritize two-lane roads so the driver can get into the right lane, thereby moving farther away from oncoming traffic. Older drivers hate driving at night so this is a big opportunity to potentially attract new users.

Asheville Regional Airport
For travelers planning a trip to the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains or the vibrant arts scene of Asheville, North Carolina, understanding which carriers operate at the local airport is the first step in a seamless journey.

AVL consistently ranks among the fastest-growing airports in the country and stands as the third busiest airport in North Carolina, having served…

Restore real-time route tracking
Waze used to provide highly accurate real-time traffic updates. I am requesting that this functionality be restored. Currently, the app seems to calculate travel time based on long-term historical statistics, which might be effective in massive megacities, but in a city of half a million people, the routing is consistently inaccurate.
Last week was a school holiday. Today, the app is clearly relying on statistics from that holiday period rather than the actual real-time traffic conditions. Due to these flawed formulas, a commute that should have taken 35 minutes ended up taking over an hour. Please prioritize real-time data over…1 vote -
Ferramenta de Medição de Trecho (Ponto A ao B) em Rota Ativa

Objetivo: Permitir que o usuário meça a distância exata entre dois pontos específicos dentro de uma rota já traçada, sem a necessidade de configurar "Paradas" ou alterar o destino final.
Como funcionaria:
Com a navegação ativa, o usuário daria um toque longo no mapa para definir o Ponto Inicial (A).
Um segundo toque longo definiria o Ponto Final (B).
O Waze exibiria flutuante na tela a distância total (km/m) apenas desse intervalo selecionado.
Benefício: Facilita o cálculo de distâncias para motoristas profissionais e logística,…1 vote
