Multiple issues/suggestions
- Alerts/new report - If you touch outside button, report gets cancelled/alert is dismissed without feedback. Difficult to touch buttons accurately while driving.
- Be able to customise reporting section.
- Be able to select areas to avoid (for crime risks or road conditions etc).
- Some saved addresses don't show when searched by saved name, or address.
- No in-app suggestion/complaint/report system. And no email responses to issues reported. This suggestion/complaint platform is unnecessarily complicated. Reporting issues, and receiving feedback should be simplified to an in-app section.
- When you report multiple road issues (eg. Potholes) within a short distance, they're not shown separately to…

Select which lane a hazard or stopped vehicle is in on the motorway/freeway
Users should be able to select which lane a hazard or stopped vehicle is in on the motorway/freeway.
When driving on a multi-lane road, there's often reports of a hazard that cannot be seen. It would be more useful for "Which lane is the hazard in?" then select 1/2/3/4/5 so that drivers know specifically if it is likely to affect them.

Organisation des icônes sur l’ecran
L’icône donnant la vitesse n’est pas fonctionnel dans son positionnement. Il faudrait le positionner ou l’on veut l’idéal étant en haut à droite. Explication : lorsqu’il y a un radar, des bouchons, nous ne voyons plus la vitesse. Il faut donner la possibilité de positionner les icônes dont on a besoin et à l’endroit certain

Shortcuts for Hazard Reports
When using the Hazard Report feature in Waze I often find that:
1) I use 1 to 3 reports a LOT more often than any others.
2) I often find that selecting these hazard icons using the current method is fiddly, dangerous when driving, and slow, resulting in the report being sent late, often about 100 meters or more past the hazard.
My improvement idea is to add 1 to 3 hazard SHORTCUTS that "slide out" for selection from the existing hazard report icon (yellow triangle) on the FIRST touch, they would then "slide in" again after selection to avoid…

Simplify Wazer and Editor workflow for residential places
The current method for a wazer to add their home to the map is confusing and creates more work for waze map editors. The workflow for a wazer is similar to this:
Wazer selects the yellow triangle (if it's displayed on their map)
Next selects "Place"
(now it is about to get really confusing)
Wazer must take a picture
The next screen says "Select Place" with a text field that says "Enter Place name".
For a residence, the wazer should not enter a place name. Just below the text field there is apparently a "button" that if tapped will add…28 votes -
Musi
There is a wonderful app, called Musi, that plays music directly from YouTube WITHOUT ads. You only pay $7 to remove the onscreen ads, and even then it lasts forever because it’s tied to the account.
Waze has 3 million reviews on the App Store alone.
Musi has 3.3 million.Could we possibly set it up to attach Musi to Waze?

Juiste baanvak pijl(en)
Geachte medewerkers,
Is het mogelijk (volgens mij een minimale software aanpassing), om de juiste basnvak welke men moet kiezen een groene kleur te geven in plaats van iets helderder wit. Het iets meer wit is soms moeilijk te onderscheiden en draagt er toe bij dat de weggebruiker zich beter moet concentreren op het navigatiescherm. Dit draagt niet bij aan de verkeersveiligheid.

Don't automatically start giving directions
I say where to go, then look at rout and options. But before I can decide the app automatically starts yelling directions loudly (in restaurant it's embarrassing). Google Maps waits untill I press the Start button. Maybe that can be an option setting, I HATE your presumption and being forced!

Add quick switch button for walk/drive switching just like Google Map
When you are far from a car park, you need to walk for a while, however, Waze just shows you the driveways but not walkways...if Waze add this functions to the UI than it should be as good as Google Map or even better. Thx!

Instelling voor positie UI elementen
Een optie voor auto's met stuur aan de linker kant om bv snelheids meter en wegaanwijzingen naar het midden of aan de rechterkant weer te geven.
Op dit moment heb ik een vaste din auto android tablet (landscape) in mijn auto, waarbij het stuur met handen de linkerkant de UI elementen bedekt. Moet daarvoor eromheen kijken. Voor engelse auto's met stuur aan de rechterkant zijn de huidige posities ideaal. Maar niet voor autos met stuur aan de linkerkant.

Create an option to open/enable Waze when the user’s phone detects a speed of a vehicle (20 mph, for example).

"Add a stop" by default
Hi,
When I click on "Add a stop", I want to add a stop. I don't want to make a "New drive".
So "Add a stop" button should be active by default instead of "New drive".

Warn drivers that attempt changing the name of a place.
Recently I have seen (and rejected) many name changes on places where people attempt to change the name to one they would like to see as a shortcut name in their destinations.
Waze should warn them when they attempt to change the name of any place and provide an option to properly nickname a routing destination without changing the name everyone sees.
I usually send them a message via Chat when this happens and reject their changes, but it would be better if Waze did the warning .3 votes -
Under Fuel Type, it would be great to select 100% Gasoline
For those shopping for 100% Gas, the first step is to be able to select such under Fuel Type. Especially when you need 100% for chainsaws, etc.

Colour code hazard reporting
colour code the hazard ‘boxes’ on the reporting screen.
Wazers past the age of 40 may struggle to see the hazard icons and text - would be useful to have those colour coded so that eyes are off the road for the shortest possible time.1 vote -
Add the possibility to add button/icons on the main screen for the most important hazars,
It would be necessary to have the possibility to add on the main screen some buttons/icons for the main hazards, like potholes, car on shoulder, car crash, so that it is not necessary to push several buttons while driving.
The alternative are to stop and report the hazards or to don't report because it makes no sense that we have to push several buttons while driving.. Either cases the utility of using Waze would be very limited or very dangerous1 vote -
Updated alternate route feature.
My account has been selected to use the updated alternate route feature.
Based on my experience, the UX/UI of the previous version is much better than the latest, I can easily compare the 3 routes on 1 page, but the updated alternative routes features require scrolling to do the comparison, I will need to remember the routes, total distance, arrival time before scrolling to the 2nd and 3rd route options for comparison and this defeat the purpose of the update?
Sorry to say that I don't see the benefit of this updated alternate route option.
