“Getting fuel/food” option if leaving the route, instead of being nagged to return to it
We just finished a two way cross country journey between Colorado and New Jersey. As usual we used Waze, and as always it was great. However, whenever we pulled off the interstate for any reason we were, of course, nagged with directions to get back onto it. I thought it would be really useful if a box could pop up where you could choose “stopping for fuel” or food, or rest break, so that the app would just pause directions

Bug with sorting recorded locations
(With French version under Android)
After having added several places in the "Recorded locations" panel (about 25) and having manually sorted them, I close the app. When re-opening it, the locations are scrambled and even if I sort the places again and again, the sorting is lost each time after the app is closed.10 votes -
Love the app. Please add , "Hey Dumb Butts, STOP RUBBER NECKING AND DRIVE!" You are causing the traffic delays.
Way to Tell Drivers to stop rubber necking. The stopping/braking to look is causing traffic delays.

Weight should be given to minimizing turns. The routing algorithm seems to ignore the number of turns (in favor of shorter route?)
Example: If you can get from point A to point B with a single turn, the simpler route should be recommended over a slightly shorter route that gets there with several alternating left and right turns.

WME PH Only show at higher zoom
Feedback on new icons for Place Hazards (Cameras, Railroad crossings). (from another editor's posting in Waze Discuss)
In WME: hazards show on the map all the way out to Zoom 14! at this Zoom, even the railroad segment isn't rendered - does the hazard need to render this far?
In areas like NYC, WME performance is already poor (for making edits, panning and zooming in).
Now these icons also render out to Zoom Level 14, covering multiple streets, nodes, etc.
Not too long ago we had an update for UR and PUR pills to group up (cluster) to reduce clutter,…

Take a break on Roadside Rest Areas
When traveling on a highway using Waze, on pulling in to a known rest stop, Waze eagerly tries to get you back on your route. Waze should be able to discern that you've taking a break. Suggestion: when following a route on a highway, and you pull into a known rest area, Waze should pop up and say "Are you taking a break? yes / no"
Upon the user responding "yes," Waze goes into a pause and does not offer any further suggestions, until the phone unit is detected moving at better than 15 mph. This would help reduce confusion…

Upgrade the "Add a Stop" function to sort the destinations (gas, food, coffee) from closest to farthest
Upgrade the "Add a Stop" function to sort the destinations (gas, food, coffee) from closest to farthest.
Right now, if you are in the midst of a long trip and click "Add a stop" and ask see options (for food or gas or coffee) you see locations near your destination.
Suggestion is to add distance options, like "show closests first".
What good is a gas station that is 125 miles away? ;)9 votes -
Social friends
Seen that you no longer associate with Facebook, I can’t follow my friends on Waze. Why don’t you create your own social media platform so Waze users can follow their from around the country and world to share their travels.
Very disappointed I can’t connect with friends on Waze.9 votes -

Give editors a method to quickly jump to a chat response from another editor
I literally have thousands of editors that I have chatted with and when one replies, I can see the icon in the top right of my editor screen tells me I have a reply. But to get to it, I must scroll through hundreds (or thousands) of other editors to find the response. Could you make it so I could jump directly to that response?
These are new editors and it's important that we are quick in our response to them.

Saving current location as a Place
Add a Place currently requires you to enter an address. It should also allow you to add your current location (often you don't know the address) directly.

several vehicles under user profile and different settings for each vehicle (e.g. motorway vignettes)
Hello
I am an avid Waze user from Hungary, I really like this program.
I use several vehicles both in private life and in corporate affairs.My question or idea is, are you thinking about a future development to manage multiple vehicles under one user profile?
For example, I use 2 cars and 1 motorcycle on the private line, and several cars on the company. Each of these has different road use entitlements (motorway vignettes), and it would help a lot if these could be saved for separate vehicles, and when I set off with one of the vehicles, I…7 votes -

Remove limits on saved places
Remove the limit from number of saved places. (its limited to 100). As a taxi driver, i found myself saving many places. Its easy for me to type the short letters and my saved places come on top. I want to use waze all the time even if i know where am going because it gives me alerts about speed cam, traffic..... Please kindly remove that limitation.
There's another thing that needs fixing. For example, am in Abu Dhabi where there's Malls that begins with same letters in there names, like; Marina Mall, Mushrif Mall, Mazyad Mall. So the best…

WAZE “Sleep” Change Is A Terrible Idea
Why did you make it so impossible to get to the “sleep” function?
Obviously, you don’t use the app?
Please make the “sleep” function available everywhere!7 votes -
Need to go back to old sleep mode selection
This sleep mode is not user friendly in this version. I will not use if it is not fixed! I love Waze but need easy way to go into sleep mode like it was in previous versions.
