Warn the track that the driver is
In some places of São Paulo, like Marginal Tiete and Pinheiros, the mobile GPS not really identifies which track you are (central, express or side) and this can make it difficult when it is done the route (or recalculated). It would be interesting that the user could "fix" warning in which the roads are really and so the waze calculate the route correctly.

server timeout on long drives
I consistently get server timeouts on longer drives. I live in Rocklin, CA and when I try to navigate to a place in Big Sur, CA I always get the server timeout error and it's frustrating. The drive is about 6 hours and for some reason wake can't handle this. I'm not sure what needs to happen to fix this. Maybe allow for increase in the timeout (I don't mind waiting a little bit longer) or put in some back in server fixes to speed up calculations for longer routes.

ALWAYS display the destination address please! It helps when driving for Lyft & Uber.
If it's always displayed I won't have to switch off the waze app and go to my Lyft or Uber app to verify address. PLEASE include in next update! It can be a SAFETY HAZARD! Thank you!

Public Bathroom Button
Have a button that when pushed routes drivers to the nearest public bathroom and then returns to route once done with the bathroom. I've seen other suggestions that are related, but I think it needs to be something really simple because the bathroom issue usually comes up when someone says "we need to stop NOW" and it's never at a convenient time!

In S. FLA at least when suggesting different routes take account of the time of day any whether the route will go past or near a school
Changing a rout to drive by a school is bad

Icônes de navigation
Bonjour,
Le bouton orange situé en bas à droite sert à signaler différentes choses. Il ouvre sur une page avec 10 icônes, et chacune est à choix multiples : il faut les ouvrir pour savoir ce qui est dedans, et comme c’est écrit en petit il faut se concentrer dessus, au détriment de la sécurité, notamment lorsque l’on a pas de co-pilote.
Pour renforcer la sécurité, pourquoi ne pas mettre uniquement 9 icônes à choix unique (qui tiendront sur la page), avec un logo bien clair pour chacune, et une 10ème icône à choix multiple que l’on ne pourrait utiliser…2 votes -
Meet another wazer
Add a feature to allow two wazers to request and approve to meet each other, which would show "distance apart" and possibly route to a central location, possibly a parking lot. It would most likely initiate from a friends list, or be able to recognize names on the seach location screen, which would send a meeting request to the friend wazer, allowing them to accept the request and initiate the routing.

No shutdown when screen off
Hello,
I read that waze automaticatly shutdown itselves if it detects it is used in background
However this could be helpfull if we can set "on" or "off" this option. For exemple, with my phone I prefer to shutdown the screen to save the battery (I toggle the screen on when I want to see or inform about something) . But by this way waze shutdown itself
May it be possible to make it as an option in a futher version ?
Yours sincerely

Directions alert
The “audio alert” given by the program proves to be very punctual when travelling in town or small villages, as the alerts are given with sufficient anticipation.
Instead I believe the alerting system become less effective on highways or expressways, where the speed of the vehicle is much higher and the driver’s reaction to further maneuvers is evidently reduced. There is in fact no “preliminary” alert of the subsequent step to be taken, such as “You exit will be at 1000 meters”; this preliminary alert would give, in my opinion, a sort of range of the “distance” for the future…7 votes -

Yellow speed limit in Sweden, Finland, Estonia
The whole Europe is supposed to share the same signs, which helps people understanding them regardless of country.
However, in Sweden, Finland and Estonia, the white background has been replaced with yellow. For someone whose been living their whole lives in these countries, the white sign looks so odd. The yellow sign has become a staple.

Make Waze alert me when I'm near somewhere
Make Waze alert me when I'm near somewhere
Calendar events are triggered by time, right?
What if...
You want to go to a place, but you don't need to go any time soon, so you plan ahead, and say:
When I drive close to "this" place, I'll stop by.
So what I want is this:
I tell Waze, I'll need to get to "X" place.
Remind me when I get as near as "1/5/10 Km."13 votes -
Use a friends live gps signal as destination
You can Share you Destination with a Friend if you connect by Facebook.
But what if you want to see where he stopped, like a gas station or something. or he decides to drive somewhere different.
It would be nice to choose your friend as a destination so when the friends phone updates its location that is the new destination for yourself. This idea needs refining i guess. But basically so you can follow your friend if you drive together, to not lose the other one! or the group!

Choose time of reports before calculates the route
The ability to choose what old time has to be a report to be considered in my route. For example, if anyone has reported that last hour was traffic on a road, it is not said that there is even now, indeed probably there is not traffic now and so it is not necessary to calculate an alternate route. So it would be useful to have a possibility to set a parameter that filters on what must be a recent report so to be considered eg. in the last 30 minutes, in the last 15 minutes.

Hazard alert confirm/deny
Keep the hazard alert thumbs up or down option on screen just a bit longer (don't start it so early if you want to keep the length of time posted the same). Right now, the option disappears about a tenth of a mile before I can confirm or deny the alert. At least keep it up until we pass the site of the hazard.
