2 steps ahead, show me what will be next
I wold like to know what kind turn will be after turn, basically it is will be great to know 2 steps ahead: for example "after 1000 feet turn left, than after 1 mile turn right", now it is happens only with the closes turns to each other's, and I every time on the red traffic light for example scrolling map , because I want to know what will be next. Even not by voice, but you can easily show the next step on the top (second turning arrow), best navigation systems show 2 steps ahead - it is very…

Navigating to Coordinates
The ability to enter coordinates into the 'Search' box to navigate to them. This would be nice for pin pointing exact locations on the map for places that don't have a physical address.

מספור הנתיבים בכל צומת שחולפים על המפה
בכל מעבר צומת עם נתיבים, להוסיף איור על המפה של הנתיבים שבהם צריך להמשיך לנסוע. לדוגמא אם צריך לנסוע ישר, הנתיבים שממשיכים ישר יהיו צבועים בצבע בולט, והשאר הנתיבים יהיו בצבע לבן. בנוסף אם יש נתיב תחבורה ציבורי הוא יהיה צבוע בחץ צהוב וכך נבין שעליו לא נוסעים.

Carpool indication option
Good afternoon,
I am a daily Waze user, and have often wondered why the app does not have an option for carpoolers. I think it would tremendously help everyone if there was a switch to indicate if one is carpooling or not. I believe it would provide better ETAs and routes. For example, I can take the carpool lane on the freeway, which may be faster than taking streets as a solo driver. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts!

Ukrainian
Hello Waze,
First off, you guys do a wonderful job. I know that in my community of Ukrianians, there is a need for Ukrainian spoken directions.
If there is potential for it to happen, it'd be absolutely fantastic!
Appreciate your work.
Best regards,
Slavik

Match multiple riders to unlock HOV for everyone
In the San Francisco Bay Area, and many other municipalities, HOV lanes require 3 or more people to use. If Waze Rider had a feature that let you request an HOV carpool only, and would enable multiple matches so that you could get 3 people in the car (driver + 2 riders), everyone would save 45 minutes of traffic. That would be a huge incentive to get people to use the app, meaning easier and more matches and fewer cars on the road.
Add HOV matching!

Adicionar alerta para acender faróis baixos ao trafegar por rodovias.
Emitir alerta para acender faróis baixos quando o motorista estiver trafegando por rodovias no Brasil. Este tipo de alerta evitará multa ao motorista por esquecer de ligar os faróis. Muito útil!!! Espero que consigam implementar essa ideia. Abraço a equipe do Waze!! Vcs são demais.

Car play app
Dear Waze, it would be nice that you guys could come up with a way that the "Waze App" would have accessibility to be on Car Play so much helpful for drivers that have "Car Play" in there cars because it makes it a lot easier to be able to see the maps due to that we have a screen it better instead of using the phone screen. If you do come up with the app to be compatible with Car Play that would change the whole entire game for your app I mean it's already and amazing app but…

Taxi Features / Funcionalidades para taxis
Develop options for taxi navigation such as:
- Routes that have exclusive lanes of taxi use;
- Proposed destination by proximity that has a shorter travel time for the passenger to end their route by walking. For example, if the navigation can determine that a point of up to 300 meters (parameter) of the destination will significantly reduce the travel time, this can be given as an option to the passenger.Desenvolver opções para navegação de taxis como:
- Rotas que possuem faixas exclusivas de uso de taxi;

Add option to avoid toll roads in certain countries
If a route spans across multiple countries, it would be nice to be able to tell Waze that I would like to avoid tolls in specific countries. For example if my route goes via three countries, I would like to avoid toll roads in Country 2 only, but still use them in Country 1 and Country 3.

Sugiro colocar MOTOCICLETA, como veiculo
muitos motociclistas acabam usando o waze como gps e acabam confundindo o waze pela velocidade que eles conseguem ir, ou seja, bem mais rapido que os carros e assim o waze acaba achando que o percurso está bom para o trânsito e na verdade não está.
SUGIRO COLOCAR MOTOS COMO VEICULO TAMBÉM NO WAZE1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

Ability to drive most direct route through busy traffic with no bypasses to side streets, would be great for us that use motorcycles in city
I often find the sat navy avoids traffic jams/heavy traffic...and takes me to side streets .not good for riding a motorcycle through London for example, when I can go through the traffic and use the main direct path...perhaps an option to go through heavy traffic routes!

Road Improvements & Increase Highway Lanes, Carpools
How many times have you traveled on a highway with consistent heavy traffic with empty space on either side and wondered, why don't they just add more lanes? [CA-237 San Jose]. Then you wonder how you can get your voice heard because everyone else is most likely thinking the same thing?
Or you go onto a heavy on ramp and wonder, there's room for carpool, but everyone is waiting into a single line, why don't they add it?
Or there is a pothole, but who to contact to fix? Or road improvement, or on ramp, off ramp are dangerously close…

Speaking road name/numbers in other languages
I am English living in Hungary. Waze in Hungarian does nor speak the road names/numbers. Since Hungarian is a phonetic language, it must be a relatively standard task to write the code for Hungarian.
I am not just blowing hot air - my partner is a phonetic linguist, and I do IT. So if you want to get this going, we could provide support.1 voteThank you for your suggestion! Waze now supports many local languages. Please check under Settings > General > Language.

Danger Area
I suggest creating a dangerous areas alert feature as slums, streets or dangerous areas, with danger degree (high, medium or low) for assault, burglary, vandalism, etc. And the system always warn approach. The user can configure whether you want a route that deviates from the area or not, as you prefer the user.

Show map during location search
You should be able to enter a store name like "Home Depot" and be able to see locations around you on a map - not specific addresses. Everytime want to find something new around me have to go into another app to actually see its location on the map. Greatly decreases motivation to go back to Waze after that

Carpool option
There should be a toggle to designate when you are using carpool(HOV) based on your vehicle's occupancy or if you have an electric vehicle as I do and only use the HOV lane. This would provide me with more accurate ETAs by considering the speed of other vehicles in the HOV lane and it could also change my routing because of the decreased ETA in the HOV lane. Also, by making it a toggle, you could turn it on or off based on your vehicle occupancy for non electric vehicle drivers. Thanks for considering.
