  1. Toll

    I wish that there's an onscreen button to turn On/Off "Avoid Tolls" for easy access. So that I'll never need to go to Settings every trip to turn it On/Off. And so that I'll have additional route options.

  2. Vitesse maximale paramétrable pour chaque type de voie

    Mon employeur m'impose les vitesses maximales suivantes :
    - 110 km/h sur les voies limitées à 130 km/h,
    - 100 km/h sur les voies limitées à 110 km/h,
    - 80 km/h sur les routes bidirectionnelles permises à 90km/h.
    Je souhaiterais pouvoir définir ces paramètres pour optimiser mon itinéraire.

  3. Waze NEEDS "Bread Crumbs".

    One thing waze should have is "Bread Crumbs". I miss this feature on my old Garmin units. It basically leaves a dotted trail behind your path so you can easily find your way back without having to enter a new destination.

  4. Route choice

    Hello, would it be possible to add choices of route type, for example shortest or fastest. Cause now it's not clear how he tries to lead us and lately it seems it's not logical at all. For example, I was driving through Autobahn in night, where I can drive on 140km/h but waze taught it would be a great idea to change this route to a small forest road that has a 30 km/h speed limit with bumps on road.

  5. Distinguer routes de terre et routes goudronnées

    Il serait bon de distinguer les chemins de terre et les routes goudronnées ou de rajouter comme type de véhicule 4x4, tracteur, camionnette ou camping-car; car Waze calcule parfois des itinéraires plus rapides en nous faisant passer par des chemins accessible seulement en 4x4 ou en tracteur. C'est dangereux et souvent on ne peut plus faire demi-tour. En plus parfois on ne gagne même pas de temps à avoir pris ce raccourci du coup! Il faudrait pouvoir faire un signalement "cette route n'est accessible que pour: et lister les types de véhicules différents"

  6. show public transportation routes

    We're in a climate crisis and everybody should drive less when there are alternatives available.
    Waze should help with that by suggesting Public Transportation or bicycle routes when selecting a destination, when those routes are viable alternatives (don't bother showing a 3h bus route for a 10 min drive).
    This could be similar to Google Maps and use the same data.
    Just by showing that there are alternatives, the user might be tempted to try them.
    This might be specially useful when driving in cities that have car restrictions, dedicated bus lanes or good bicycle infrastructure that rivals congestion, where…

  8. Make option to avoid international borders

    Drove from Boston to Michigan and the app continuously tried rerouting us through Canada to save time! Please add an option to avoid international borders so we don't have to worry about being sent through another country if traffic builds ahead.

  9. Have an option to adjust the maximum speed limit to account for company speed limits. Working for Hallcon, I can only drive 55 mph at night

    Have an option to adjust the maximum speed limit to account for company speed limits. Working for Hallcon, I can only drive 55 mph at night on a two-lane road, 65 mph during the day on a two-lane road, and a maximum of 70 mph for any road. I would like to be able to put this in settings, so that Waze can come up with a better route and ETA for me. I do not like being sent down two-lane roads at night going 55 mph when I could be going down a highway at 67 mph, and could…

  10. Plan your own trip

    It would be nice if we were able to plan our own trip, by that I mean, you want to go to A from home but want to go via XYZ and not the routes you give us. Example: Home to Sudbury, Suffolk Via XY and Z ( Bibury )

  11. Allow the user to keep the route from changing

    Tonight I was driving home with family during the season’s biggest rain storm. Initially Waze set a good route across major freeways that are relatively safe in the rain. Then it suggested a re-route across a windy mountain road (Angeles Crest Highway) instead of the major freeway in order to save only about 2 minutes. Of course I hit No. It kept suggesting other re-routes as well, including driving across older freeways through downtown LA that are prone to flooding, and I hit No again. Each time it would barely save any time to do such re-route. But it would…

  12. Avoid road

    While following a itinerary, have a option inside the “report” button called “my road” which bring back the current map but let you “highlight” with your finger a road you want to avoid, is the option just for this trip, for similar trip, or similar time, or always.
    When making a new itinerary the system will then ask “this include the road you want to avoid, do you want to include it ?”

  15. Rank routes by least number of minutes in traffic

    For a long drive, calculate "% of time spent in traffic" and "# of minutes spent in traffic" and include that as a criteria.

    We just stared at 3 different routes for a 4+ hour drive that had varying lengths and amount of time in stop & go traffic. We would have liked to have selected easily "the one that makes the car move the most and has the least stop & go, so we don't get car sick and our children don't wake up."

  16. Convoy mode

    Multiple accounts linked together showing the same route regardless of configuration. That would help convoys to stay together. Also tracking and highlighting other members of the convoy. Maybe somekind of "wait for me" or "dont wait for me" button.

  17. Rail road crossings.

    The routes need an option to avoid Rail Road crossings. The map should ideally show if there is an underpass for the train.

  19. Restricted areas feature

    Give people the ability to label areas within waze as "not safe" so waze can route loved ones around high crime areas. This would not be a crowd sourced data point but a parent could label parts of town (think...draw a polygon around an area) as restricted or unsafe. This would keep vulnerable children out of high crime areas or areas with known offenders.

  20. Avoid a street

    my wife was robbed at gunpoint on the way to our son's therapy, he is autistic and goes to therapy daily. she would like to avoid this street because she is traumatized, sometimes the route recalculates and sends her there, she does not obey and makes a maneuver to force recalculation again, but this makes her apprehensive and tense, but this takes time on the route and they get late for therapy. I'd like to indicate that street is unwanted and never pass that way. I know sometimes a feature is not important for a product road map, but it…
