  1. Select initial driving direction

    I wanted to suggest this idea but found it was suggested already six years ago but for some reason, this simple but important feature has not yet been implemented.
    So I’m quoting the original request someone sent in 2018:

    Very often Waze starts up navigation facing the wrong driving direction. The direction is rectified as the vehicle starts moving, but it can be too late for the initial turn.

    Please add the ability to switch driving direction when navigation starts, via a button.

  2. Highway's Rest Area and Parkings

    I would like to propose to include on the maps the location of the Rest Areas and Parking along Highways and Local Roads. This would be really helpfull on long trips.
    Also the notification of the nearest Gas station would be an asset to the application.
    Thanks

  3. Improved lane guidance for consecutive intersections

    An example is three consecutive intersections coming with very short distance (e.g. https://www.waze.com/en/live-map/directions?latlng=56.923461945338325%2C24.165415763854984 going from Krasta Iela to P (Akropole) it's important to stay in the correct lane in all three intersections. Otherwise, you will either end up doing a U-turn, continue towards Salaspils or end up on Slavu Iela towards Dreilini.

    Hola,
    Hace años uso vuestro GPS, ahora he empezado ha usarlo a través de android móvil en mi dispositivo del vehículo.

    En el móvil cunado lo llevo en posición vertical en los radares de tramo sale una barra que me indica cuanto falta para terminar la zona, está barra no se podria poner para que salga el posición horizontal también, así saldría en la pantalla del vehículo. También he instalado directamente en el vehículo y como es formato tablet tampoco sale, una lastima porque esa función me gusta mucho .

    Gracias

  6. Better navigation for electric vehicles

    I think Waze can make a very big impact by greatly improving navigation for electric vehicles.
    Given that the charging structure in Europe is now largely very good, scheduling the various charging points for a long trip is no longer necessary in advance.
    A nice solution would be to show on the screen the next 3 (fast) charging stations, along with the total number of charging stations (red) that are there, how many are still available (green) and how many are out of service/in maintenance (gray) (like A better route planner does).
    In addition, also the percentage of charge with…

  7. Custom Route Colours

    I’ve noticed that if you share your current journey with someone then your route line turns green.

    This made me realise that this is actually much better than purple for me and think this would be a great option for colour blind users.

    Being able to select whatever colour stands out best to you to make your route more clear would be great!

  8. Displaying the distance of right or left turns with a progress bar instead of a number of kilometers

    I'd like to suggest an improvement to Waze's turn-by-turn navigation. Similar to the progress bar shown in traffic jams, it would be helpful to have a progress bar for turns, indicating the distance remaining until the turn and the user's current location. This would provide a more visual and intuitive way to understand the proximity to the turn.

  9. Option to avoid C area roads in Israel

    When I drive in Israel I plan my route in order to avoid crossing a checkpoint and c areas. Sometimes, waze automatically changes my route in order to avoid traffic making me drive in certain areas I’m not willing to. Adding an option to avoid those roads as well as A and B areas can be helpful.

  11. Economiseur d'écran pour le préserver

    Serait-il possible d'ajouter une option d'affichage de type diminution de la luminosité, écran de veille, comme ça existe déjà en mode économie de batterie. Mais de façon permanente. De manière à éviter que l'écran ne se dégrade avec des images qui restent fixe et longtemps.. Aînsi l'écran s'allume seulement à chaque nouvelle înstruction. Puis s'éteint à nouveau après un temps donné...

  12. המשך ישר

    המשך ישר מאוד מטעה הייתי רוצה שתהיה לי אפשרות לבטל את ההתראות של המשך ישר.
    הרבה פעמים כתוב לי עוד 4 ק"מ שמאלה ואז פתאום אחרי שתי דקות כתוב המשך ישר ואז בגלל שזה הופיע ובדיוק יש איזו פנייה שמאלה אני בטעות נלחץ שעכשיו אני צריך לצאת שמאלה כאילו חלפו אותם 4 ק"מ שזכרתי שאני צריך אחריהם לפנות שמאלה.... אך מה שקרה בפועל זה שפתאום קפצה התראה של המשך ישר שבלבלה.
    אני לא צריך אותה היא מיותרת. צריך התראה רק אם יש שינוי פנייה, המשך ישר זו התראה מיותרת ומבלבלת, אני תוהה מי חשב על זה, מי חשב על להוסיף…

  15. Voice navigation instructions based on traffic lights and stop signs.

    Apple Maps would say “At the next light turn left” or “At the stop sign turn right” or “Go past this light, and at the next one, turn left” which is very useful and helps me make turns at the right intersection, especially if two streets are close to each other.

  16. Reduce the excessive frequency of too many warnings on the same stretch of road

    Good morning.
    I would kindly like to suggest an implementation of functions, regarding voice warnings, as they are truly TOO MANY and TOO FREQUENT on the same stretch of road! Very repetitive indeed, and so distracting!
    In fact, constantly hearing the voice assistant that in a verbose way warns you every 200 meters, instead of just once, or at most twice, no longer makes you pay attention to any turns or changes.

    We couldn't even talk to each other in the car anymore, with that continuous non-stop voice every two minutes! I had to disable them completely and proceed by…

  18. One touch Highway/No Highway route recalculation

    so that I can check and see if the highways are doing worse than the side streets, it would be great to have a one touch button after the routes are calculated to switch to no highway, let the routes recalculate and then if I want to switch back to highway

  19. Easier Navigation Means Safer Driving

    When your getting close to your destination, the app normally lets you see which side it’s going to be on and a picture will show up (normally the picture is never there) but instead of all that I would really appreciate if the address popped up. It’s so frustrating when I’m in the middle of a delivery and have to back petal to find the address somewhere else because I’m also trying to navigate my surroundings and I can’t remember the house numbers. Just a thought for the future..

  20. Waze to take electric car battery status into account

    I love using Waze, but ever since I have an electric car I need to switch to the car's own navigation system (which is not so good and efficient as Waze). Reason for doing is the fact that the car navigation takes the car battery status into account and calculates a stop-point to recharge the battery. Waze doesn't do this. Meaning, when I would use Waze I would need to use a second app or platform to check where probably I can or need to re-charge the battery. This is not so convenient. If Waze would be make a suggestion…
