  1. Add More Stops to A Trip

    It's very simple, I use Waze when my family and I travel. We have a newborn and a 3-4 year old. We stop about every hour, like clockwork. If we have a 6 hour drive, I can't add multiple stops. I have to start our drive, then add the first stop, restart the drive and add the second stop, etc. Could we get this updated so we get more than one stop in the trip?

  3. Safer crossings

    Please do not direct to a route where you have to cross into traffic. When there is a safe alternative that takes you to a safe stoplight. And is same time /miles
    Like Apollo beach Blvd. to central which crossed Ty 42 at a stop sign turning left into two lanes of heavy traffic. Vs. turn left on ******* to light at rt41

  4. Guardar una ruta o recorrido habitual

    Además de poder guardar lugares como casa trabajo, debería poder guardarse otros lugares, que se usan habitualmente y lo más importaste: guardar recorridos habituales.
    Por ejemplo en la mañana escuela / trabajo y en las tarde escuela / supermercado / casa.
    En general hacemos las mismas rutas diariamente.

  5. Deleting old routes efficiently

    I would like to delete routes I no longer need with only two or three moves. Similar to deleting messages in the inbox.

  6. Traffic Reduction in Neighborhoods

    With the onset of technology and GPS guided directions, it is quite apparent there is grave concern for the safety of home owners on once quiet and less traveled residential roads.

    The number 1 and redundant (and justified, I might add!) complaint is drivers are being directed into populated neighborhoods causing a significant increase in potential risk of accidents.

    In my case, for example, I live on a narrow, twisting dirt/gravel road with countless potholes, and no sidewalks for pedestrians or room for folks on horseback.

    WAZE sends drivers onto this road because it seems, or appears to be a…

  7. Feature to Avoid Specific Road

    I really do love Waze! You guys are great! But can you PLEASE add an option to avoid specific roads (or steps of a route)? There’s a route that Waze directs me on my commute daily, both ways, that includes 2 roads that are extremely dangerous. I don’t mean difficult intersections or something like that. I mean regularly reported gun violence, car jackings at stop signs/lights, and gang activity. I literally had this map editing option back in the days of printing out mapquest directions… any kind of option would be wonderful! Thank you!

  8. Pause route feature

    Being able to pause the directions would be really nice. On a long drive on a highway I might turn onto a rest stop or to get some gas. Hypotheticalically I might even want to stop to see a giant ball of twine. It would be really nice if I could stop the GPS from freaking out about the wrong turn.
    I generally don't need the GPS to go to the rest stop or to find the gas station, and I don't want a notification to take a break.
    However, being able to pause my directions would be nice as…

  9. UK time restrictions (School Streets)

    Monday to Friday
    No entry between 8am and 9:15am."
    And 2:45pm and 4:00pm."

    There are loads of these signs in hundreds of cities all over the UK especially London. Can't we allow for local map editors to save time based restrictions into the map?

  12. Put locations at top of 'Where To' list at set time and day

    I often do things same time each week. It would be great to have the option to set a time and a day for saved locations.

    This would mean if I open Waze around 5:30pm on any Tuesday or Thursday, (this) item will start at the top of my 'Where To' list.

    This feature would work best in conjunction with a 'Silent' option for each saved location. Since I go to certain places frequently, I already know how to get there.

    Setting a Saved Location to 'Silent' would mean directions are only read aloud to the driver IF THEY DIFFER…

  13. add the criterion "simplicity of the route" and an option of chosing the simples route

    add the criterion "simplicity of the route" based on the number of crossings, turns, etc., and an option of chosing the simples route

    but currently the choice of three routes does not work at all: just yesterday the service have permanently ignored my choice instead trying to drive me over the route it considered shorter, despite my other choice. No option to complaine to this on the site.

  14. avoid streets with poor road surface (loopholes, etc.)

    assign a score to each street (ask the drivers), calculate the average score for each route and include it in the choice. + an option to chose the best quality road.

  15. Fastest route regardless of toll fees

    Currently Fastest Route takes toll amount and distance into consideration. Many times, better routes with much higher tolls + a longer highway detour is in fact faster.

    While there is an option to opt out of tolls, there is no way to have the "Fastest" route regardless.

    Fastest should mean really the fastest and not "according to what Waze thinks people might want".

  16. Tow Mode

    I often tow a trailer for work, and use Waze to go everywhere - but often time saving routes will take me down side streets and laneways that are narrow and difficult to navigate with a trailer. Same would apply for touring with a caravan.

    It would be awesome to have a mode that minimizes tight turns, side streets or intersections without traffic lights.

  17. Traffic Jam Standstill Should be much slower

    Waze needs to read the speed of Wazers in a Standstill Traffic Jam better. In the last couple of months, I have not been re-routed around terrible standstill traffic jams because Waze thinks the "Standstill" is moving at 15 mph when, in reality, you're literally idling and moving a few feet every couple of minutes. I see where the app tracks Wazers, so why can't it use their average speed, which was closer to 3 mph? In the last few months, I have been caught in very long traffic jams because Waze thinks the route your on is faster than…

  18. Custom Routes to avoid Major Cities Centers

    This goes to having customized routes, I was driving from the Northeast to SC, this would make me drive through heavily congested areas like NYC and Waze always wants to make me use the GW bridge, which is a horrible route if you have ever driven it. There should be an option to choose less congested routes, example I would choose to use the Verrazano Bridge route that takes me around the city. This should be an option for heavily congested large cities, Wash D.C., Philly, etc...

  19. Create Waze Vehicle Profiles

    It would be nice to have Vehicle profiles, and change them rapidly on the Main Menu.
    For example:
    I use a Private Diesel Car most of the times.
    I also ride a Gasoline Motorcycle (witch can ride the BUS lane in Oporto - Portugal)
    I can also use an TAXI Electrical Car.

    In this case I should be able to create 3 Vehicle profiles on the Settings, and on the main menu, choose witch one we want to use at the moment, so that routes can be calculated accordingly. Otherwise, I must go to Definitions and Change the Type of…
