Waze sometimes finds destinations in other countries.
I live in Canada and I've gotten routes to England and the western United States. Please allow setting a maximum distance or zones around where a driver is.

Detailed info on "car on shoulder" warning
Instead of just "car on shoulder ahead" it would be great to know which shoulder (left or right). In Minnesota we are required by law to move over to give cars on the shoulder room. It would be great to know which way I need to move to avoid hitting the car or striking someone who is out of the vehicle.

Route optimization??
Is there a way for me to optimize a route with multiple stops in Waze? I can use RouteXL for up to 20 stops, but prefer Waze for navigation. It would be super helpful if I could enter or import the addresses into Waze, and then it give me the fastest order to hit them all and return me to my starting point.

Add a "prefer main roads" option
Whenever I visit an area that I'm not familiar with, Waze tends to find the fastest possible route to where I'm going, which often involves cutting through residential areas or some narrow back road. This is great if someone is late or wants to do whatever it takes to get somewhere as fast as possible, but I would love an option to prefer main roads, even if it adds a few minutes to my trip, just so the drive is as easy and safe as possible.

Pick up on construction re-routes.
I just used Waze via Android Auto to take me home. The route it picked had an entry way ramp that was closed. There was road re-route markers BUT Waze first wanted me to turn around and go back to the ramp THAT WAS CLOSED! While following the road markers for the re-route Waze never did pick up on that until the very end of the re-route. Jeez, pay attention to road construction conditions. I guess you get what you pay for, aye?

Adding distance and time till the cross border
It would be great, if the user picks a route that crosses the border, than the application shows additionally the approximate time and distance till the border and not only the time and distance till the end point.
It's due to the fact that crossing some borders it self take additional time, and that the prices for fuel differ in different countries. It would help managing when you need to refill the car, and in which country.
Just two numbers: time till border, distance till border.

NY E-ZPass merge the cost calculation with sunpass
When calculating routes in Florida with E-ZPass transponder rates they should match sunpass rates. This information stated on cfxway.com faq that E-ZPass customers will be charged the same rates as sunpass users and is no longer exclusive to the E-Pass/Sunpass transponder. When travelling in Florida just note most signs are outdated and say sunpass only.

Route by average speed
Sometimes the app suggests a route with a shorter total time, but with a much greater distance than the other options. For example: 5 minutes less with 10km more. Therefore, I suggest showing the average speed (Distance/Time) of each option.

Navigation for larger van / lorry or caravan / trailer.
Many drive in a larger van / lorry or with a caravan / trailer.
Would it not be possible for you to choose vehicle type and based on size, Waze creates a route where you are not led out on very small roads.
You can in other navigation systems, such as TomTom Go9 votes -
Feature Suggestion – “Follow a Friend” Mode
I’d love to suggest a new feature that could really help users who are traveling in separate cars to the same destination.
The idea is a “Follow a Friend” mode where one driver can request to follow another through the Waze app. Here’s how it could work:
• You enter your friend’s phone number or select them from your contacts.
• They receive a notification asking if they’d like to share their live location with you.
• If they accept, their vehicle would appear on your Waze map in real time, allowing you to follow them while still navigating your…1 vote -

Cuando se añade una parada deberia mostrar los kilometros de la primera ruta y segunda ruta. Hoy solo muestra la segunda inmediata
Uso Android. Cuando añado un destino como parada; no muestra los kilometros de la segunda, solo de la mas inmediata. Ello ayudaría a evaluar cuanto se altero la distancia con añadir la parada.

Alternate Routes
The last update to Waze made it more difficult and unsafe while driving. Prior to the update, I could click one button for alternate routes and it would bring up three on the screen. Now it brings up one and now I have to take my eyes off the road to slide the other options up. This was a bad idea of an update. Waze is the only map app that provides quick alternate routes while driving and now it is become risky to use.

Option to type custom planned arrival time
Would it be possible to add an arrival time that is off of the quarter hour? As strange as it sounds, I would like to know my departure time for a 3:05 pm arrival - for example. The estimated travel time can revert to being based on the closest (or ceiling/floor) quarter hour's prediction. But it would be helpful to have the alert be based on my actual time to leave.

routes for caravans
Please create a category for those towing a caravan so that inappropriate routes are not offered.
I would rather travel further on a good road than be guided onto a narrow, winding, steep or unsafe surface when towing my caravan.
The risk of a collision with an oncoming vehicle travelling at high speed on a windy dirt road is very high when visibility is limited and there is no room to manoeuvre10 votes
