  2. Toads on roads

    In the spring – March, April – when driving along ponds, lakes or rivers, toads migration is observed on the roads. To reduce the death of these amphibians, Nature Conservation Agency is organizing the “MISSION TOAD” or "TOADS on ROADS" campaign in Latvia. It is known that WAZE could inform other drivers about animals on the road some time ago. But currently it is not possible to report it. Could this function be returned? It would be a great contribution to the preservation of natural values.

  3. Bring back original Thomas (UK) voice

  4. New Functions for Linking External Provider Locations (Google Pin)

    In the past, the WME PIE Script provided a valuable feature that allowed us to directly view the exact location of a place on Google Maps overlaid on the Waze map. Recently, this functionality was removed at Waze's request.

    Most editors, including myself, consider this feature essential. Taking this opportunity, I suggest we request improvements to this linking tool. Below are some current issues and proposed solutions:

    Issue 1:
    Currently, WME allows the same CID to be added multiple times to the same place. This creates disorganization in the links.

    Solution 1:
    Block duplicate additions of the same place. In…

    We plan to work on displaying the traffic lights on the map in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.  


  6. Old vanessa voice(french)

    Please give us the old Vanessa voice(french). The new voices are horrible. I can't use the app with the new voices. They are all horibble. Why would you destroy something great(the voices that were before)?
    Give us the option to reatore the old voices.

  7. Bring back Friends feature

    Friends feature was a great feature and we would like to get it back. As mentioned on multiple conferences it was a "thing" in Waze which was diffenret in Waze app, it was something close to gamification and it was bringing users to the app.

    Tkanks for every vote!

    Friend feature was removed to make some place for Carpool - that was said by Waze many times. Now, Carpool is dead and Google is trying to implement Friends feature - that's why we would like to have it back!

  8. Felix (Stray Kids) as a voice option

    Felix (member of the K-pop group Stray Kids) has a calming yet engaging voice that could fit well for navigation. English language navigation would have his Australian accent, and he (or another member) could potentially record Korean language navigation as well.

  10. Give us back familiar voices.

    Many people have expressed their disappointment and frustration that the voices in Waze have been changed with claims that the new voices are more "natural". On the contrary, many of us feel the voices are cold and we want the former versions back. We use the Italian Sofia and the new voice has no warmth or connection for us. Many other users have said the same of the English Thomas and Kate and other voices from varying languages. Please return our familiar navigators! The world is alienating enough without these changes!

  11. iOS 18 Dark Icon! PLEASE

    Dear WAZE Support,

    I hope this message finds you well. I’ve been using your app for some time now and truly appreciate its features. With the release of iOS 18, I was wondering if you could consider adding a dark mode icon option for the app.

    It would be a great addition for those of us who prefer a consistent dark theme across our devices.

    Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response!

    Best regards,
    Julian

  12. Set Waze as default iOS navigation app [iOS 18.4/EU only]

    In the EU, Apple has finally made it possible to set a default navigation app in iOS 18.4.

    Unfortunately, Waze has not yet implemented this feature.

    You can find the new option in iOS 18.4 under Settings -> Apps -> Default apps -> Navigation

    This is what it looks like: https://ibb.co/wNHBspGN

    It would be really great to finally have the option on iOS to open addresses directly without having to copy and paste them manually into Waze, for example.

  14. Additional fields in Tollbooth hazard

    It would be great to add some fields to Tollbooth hazard like "name", "price" and "payment methods", so that Waze can warn (on screen and TTS) about the next toll on the Wazer route and, at least, its name and price.

  15. Dip Permanent Hazard

    It would be great to have a new category of permanent hazards for dips in the roadway. Currently, there is no appropriate category for such. Many municipalities have man-made dips to serve as a traffic calming device. On the other hand, natural dips in the roadway may be encountered by Wazers throughout their travel. Having this permanent hazard can warn Wazers of such occurrences ahead of time in order to slow down and prevent potential damage to vehicles.

    Another suggestion (https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/38921404-reporting-uneven-road>) regarding uneven roads might be relevant as part of this new permanent hazard category.

  16. Show Accurate Distance to Exit Inside Roundabouts

    Display the actual remaining distance to the correct exit while inside the roundabout. This would help drivers better anticipate when to exit, especially in larger or multi-exit roundabouts.

    When driving a roundabout, the distance to the exit is always shown as “0 m” in the current navigation display. This can be misleading, as the driver has not yet reached the exit.

    Knowing how far it is to the correct exit helps reduce confusion and allows for smoother lane changes and safer navigation. Showing “0 m” before reaching the exit does not reflect the real driving experience and can lead to…

  17. School districts input feed for updating their annual schedule and hours of operation changes

    Since some school districts can have 85 or more zones and many states have over 20 counties ; managing the school holiday and time schedules can be a very big task.

    Recommend getting a special feed set up so school districts can update them.

  18. Treat roads with RTC as routable pedestrian path

    Right now, when trying to route to a destination on a closed road, it's pretty much like the road no longer exists and Waze will route to the nearest open road.

    Sometimes, this means that users will be routed somewhere completely different, like to the middle of a highway, to the other side of a raildroad track into a completely different neighbourhood, etc.

    Segments with RTCs on them should be treated as a routable pedestrian path: route the driver to the closest entry point.

  19. Always choose WME items over Google Map items

    A place (area or point or residential) or House number entered into Waze Map Editor should ALWYS be chosen over a Google Maps import in Waze’s Search.

    This is very frustrating to users since they are often routed to the wrong location. It is also very frustrating to editors since their work to update the map is ignored. 

    If a person searches 123 Main St, City, State, then their search should show the 123 Main St, City, State (From WME) as the first item and not 123 Main Street, City State from Google Maps.  (With 133 Main Street, City, State

  20. Bring back the old speedometer position (bottom left corner)

    With the latest update, the speedometer on the mobile app has moved from the bottom left corner to the center of the bottom edge of the screen. This new position is distracting and interferes with map visibility, especially when checking upcoming turns or traffic info.

    The previous placement in the bottom left corner was much more intuitive and out of the way. Please consider giving users the option to choose the speedometer position, or revert it back to where it was.
