  1. Going back to correct reported hazard

    Since the fantastic (not sarcasm - I really like the update - for the most part) update after I attempt to report a hazard I’ve noticed if I tap the wrong category or want to back out to the previous screen, it cancels the entire report. Then I’m 1/2 a mile down the road and it doesn’t make sense to do a new report because the location won’t be accurate.
    Please PLEASE allow to back out of the category. Forget people saying “too many taps to report” if you keep from changing the location of the options muscle memory takes…

  2. Speed camera notifications

    Hi
    First of all thanks for the service.
    As a constant waze user I think one major upgrade would to be able to get speed camera notifications even if you are not speeding. This would help as sometimes the smart motorways sometimes are at a lower speed on digital sign than the current speed limits. Thanks again.

    Kind regards
    Jason.

  3. Shortcuts for potholes

    Have an option for customizing buttons on the screen like shortcuts for potholes so you only have to tap once instead of going through menus.

  5. Police

    Is there anyway you can report police and speed cameras with a lot more notice, from my experience 0.3 miles is no where near long enough to react in most cases!! Could it change to 1.2 miles. This gives us more time to react and plan ahead. Also you could make the report for the police on both sides of the road!!

  6. Road closure options

    Would be nice to be able to report a road closure prior to starting trip. I know a major road is closed but I can't report it to be routed around it until I am at the closure

  7. One select to report

    To report an issue whilst driving is dangerous and requires 2 presses and some looking at the screen. Why not let driver press the report button just once, at an incident and when vehicle is stopped a reminder comes up on the screen to complete the report. Waze has already logged its location and the driver can then report the issue as normal.

  8. Reorganziable reports and reports on the main screen customization

    We should be able to organize the report types so it is easier to click certain ones. Also I’d be cool if we could permanently pin certain reposts on the screen so they are quicker to choose for more common reports in our areas

  9. Allow us to create customizable single press shortcut button for hazard reporting etc.

    Too many steps to press while driving to report hazard etc can be dangerous. Why not allow users to create a customizable single press shortcut button for reporting car on shoulder or object on road instead of multiple steps of pressing buttons to get to the final issue. ie. not needing to press Hazard and then having to search the type of hazard in the small phone screen while driving. A single shortcut would be much easier. The most commonly used report for me is car on shoulder so why not just allow me to create that single shortcut.

  10. Organize Urs

    It would be good if when there are many overlapping URs, clicking on one would open only one window and within it the nearby URs would be sorted by date and time. This way, if a user reports several times by mistake, there is no need to respond several times, which can lead to annoyance for this user. I think it would be better organized.

  11. Snabbknapp för vägskada (potthål)

    Snabbknapp för vägskada (potthål) vilka finns överallt och orsakar skador på bilar samt att folk kastar bilen för att undvika dessa. Vore dessutom bra att ha snabbval för var på vägen,höger,vänster eller mitten, samt vilken fil på vägen faran finns.

  12. Error en nombre y teléfono de la Defensoria Penal Publica en Aysen

    Escribo de parte de la Defensoria Penal Publica en Coyhaique para solicitar que arreglen nombre y teléfono de nuestras oficinas ya que han generado un gran problema con nuestros usuarios.
    El nombre correcto es Defensoria Penal (con N no con Ñ) Publica y nuestros teléfonos son 67- 2240872/73. No sé de dónde sacaron el que publican pero no es nuestro e impiden que nuestros usuarios se contacten con nosotros.
    Favor solución a la brevedad este problema. Es la segunda solicitud que les realizó.

  14. Google maps has provision to report MOBILE speed cameras. You really need to do the same!!!

    I always use Waze but I've just had reason to use Google maps and to my horror discovered that they have provision to report mobile speed camera vans/traps.
    I've been suggesting this for YEARS, and have never once had a valid reason why it's not being done.. I've just been fobbed off with the usual "yeah it's been suggested but they've just decided not to do it".
    You need to wake up and pull your head out your *** and keep up with the competition.. The reason we use Waze is because it's so good and you need to be…

  15. Need arrival and departure times in timeline

    I need to have arrival times in the history timeline so I know when to pick up my kids or pets. I have to pick them up within a five hour window. Every place I drive to or depart from does not show the arrival times or departures. Can this be a feature? Google maps has it.

  16. Better Report Road Closure Support

    This app is super useful, but today after serious flooding in my area I realized some major downsides... Please make it easier to report road closures!! Once you turn around, you can't report that the road behind you is closed and sometimes you need to move out of the way NOW! I wish I could still report after I've driven away. Also, if a road is local traffic only but fully closed further ahead, I can't report that the road is closed up ahead. Also, add a feature to report how much flooding there is when people report a flooding…

  17. Ability to set an Editor Email

    I've already seen this suggestion https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59225-map-editor-suggestions/suggestions/41506807-ur-reply-via-email but I thought this would be a nice compromise.

    Let editors set an Editor Email in WME, that becomes the reply-to address on report emails (for those who don't know: there is a difference between the reply-to and sent email address). The sent email can be changed to something like userreports@waze.com and then the editor can just receive the reply to their editor email.
    Just to clarify, by editor email, I mean our own email addresses we already have for editing related things (e.g. deviatefromtheplan.waze@gmail.com), rather than Waze creating email addresses for us.
