Chat
Estimados, todos hemos podido notar que la opción de chat desapareció debido a las recientes actualizaciones. Lo cual desde mi punto de vista como usuario frecuente de su aplicación encuentro que es un error fatal. Waze se diferencia de otras aplicaciones principalmente por su función de poder chatear con otros conductores. Ninguna otra aplicación tiene esa opción tan desarrollada como ustedes. Es una forma eficiente de informar y/o reportar situaciones que muchas veces con los simples iconos generales no es suficiente. Así que expuesta mi sugerencia solicitó que puedan evaluar la opción de habilitar nuevamente los chats en el mapa…

Simplify removing a destination from drive history
Sometimes you need to remove a place from drive history and search again before getting an updated pin for routing.
Per a thread in Discuss, sometimes you have to remove navigation history from your Privacy settings to get rid of all history of a place.
Removing a destination from drive history should remove it from the app completely in one step. You shouldn’t have to navigate through settings to Privacy then Recent locations to remove it.

Information about tire pressure gauges
In the WME, add the gas station information layer indicating if it has a tire inflator.
In the app, make it clear in the gas station information that it has a tire inflator.

Add Support for Oval Country-Code Symbols in Visual Instructions
Description:
In many European and international transit corridors, road authorities frequently use the white oval country‑code symbol (e.g., A, D, CH, H, I, SLO, HR) on direction signs, gantries, and even road surface markings. These symbols are universally recognized by drivers and originate from the international vehicle registration codes defined in the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic (1949) and the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (1968).Because these ovals appear prominently on real-world signage—especially in countries with heavy cross‑border traffic—they are an essential visual cue for navigation. However, in Waze they are currently difficult and cumbersome to reproduce in visual…

Option for "Safety-Aware Routing" Prioritizing Shelter Proximity
I suggest adding a routing option that allows users to find routes optimized not just for speed, but also for proximity to designated safety shelters (e.g., bomb shelters, emergency shelters) along the way. In emergencies, knowing you're on a path with quick access to a shelter could be crucial. This would be different from navigating to a shelter, but rather keeping shelters nearby while en route to a destination.

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…

Proactive Fuel Station Suggestion
Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest adding a feature that proactively recommends nearby gas stations after the user has traveled a certain distance, which can be set by the user.
During long trips, drivers may not always keep track of their fuel level or may forget to refuel in time. This can lead to inconvenient or even risky situations, especially when traveling through areas with limited fuel station availability.
By allowing users to define a distance threshold (e.g., after driving X kilometers), Waze could automatically suggest the nearest gas stations along the route. This would give drivers more…

traffic lights and stop signs
I request this idea a lot but it seems like no one listens and Waze team completely ignores it. We need stop signs and traffic lights on the map. All navigations in the market already has it expect only Waze, I don't know why they don't want do it or difficult to them to do it! I can't understand, these things its really very important for the drivers.

Please add multiple stops
I was a waze user before but when I encountered with multiple stop problem. Waze can only allow one stop to be added and it is confusing. Please make is simplify where we can add multiple stops and check the map and distance at the same time . Also we can change order of the stops on convenience.

Multi-Stop Route Planning
Overview:
Waze currently allows users to set a single destination at a time, requiring them to manually input a new route after reaching their first stop. This can be time-consuming and inefficient, especially for users who need to make multiple stops in one trip.
Proposed Feature:
Enable users to set a route with multiple destinations in advance. Instead of navigating only from Point A to Point B, users will be able to plan a route such as:
A → B → C → D
Waze will automatically guide them from one stop to the next without requiring manual input between…50 votes -
In-app segment appearance for Unpaved / Pedestrian segments
As of now, different segment types almost all look identical in Waze. Offroad / unmaintained already have has its own look, so it would seem logical to get a visual differentiation for pedestrian segments and unpaved roads.
- Unpaved roads could get a "speckled" or '"hashed" look (https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/46149703-show-unpaved-roads-differently-in-app).
- Pedestrian segments could look just like on the live map.

Request for Satellite Map View in Waze
Hello Waze Support Team,
I’m writing to request that Waze add an option to view the map in satellite mode. The app currently only shows the default map style, and having a satellite view would be very helpful for navigation and for recognizing locations more accurately.
Many navigation apps offer both standard and satellite map modes, and I believe this feature would greatly improve the user experience in Waze.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Kind regards,

Suggestions to Improve Waze User Experience
Dear Waze Team,
My name is Fabio Martinez Coello, and I am a Colombian user who relies on your application on a daily basis. I would like to thank you for the great service you provide, which has become an essential tool for navigation.
Based on my daily experience, I would like to share some suggestions that could help improve the application and make it even more user-friendly:
1. Always display the programmed destination address:
It would be very helpful if the selected destination address remains constantly visible. Sometimes, due to typing errors or…2 votes -
“Reverse Trip” Option
I think it would be a great feature if Waze added a “Reverse Trip” button after completing a drive. Instead of generating a new route back based on Waze’s current suggestions, this feature would guide you back using the exact same route you originally took.
There are times when I discover an easier or preferred route during a drive and would rather return the same way instead of taking a different suggested route. This could be especially useful for short trips where you quickly return to your original starting point.

Addition of a "Probationary License
Bonjour
Serait-il possible d'ajouter une option dans les paramètres de navigation permettant de sélectionner un profil 'Jeune Permis / Permis Probatoire' ?
Une fois activée, l'application ajusterait automatiquement l'affichage des limitations de vitesse et les alertes sonores selon la législation en vigueur. Par exemple, en France, les seuils passeraient de 130 à 110 km/h, de 110 à 100 km/h et de 90 à 80 km/h.
L'idéal serait que cette option soit adaptative : les seuils de réduction de vitesse devraient s'ajuster automatiquement en fonction de la réglementation spécifique de chaque pays (par exemple, des limitations différentes en France, en Italie…

Lack of Context in Rerouting: Security Risks and User Autonomy
The current Waze algorithm often reroutes users on long-distance trips without providing the underlying reason (e.g., specific accidents, road closures, or incremental traffic). While this "silent optimization" might work for short urban commutes, it represents a significant strategic failure for long-haul navigation for the following reasons:
Safety vs. Efficiency: By prioritizing the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) above all else, the app frequently diverts drivers from well-monitored, high-infrastructure highways to poorly maintained or dangerous secondary roads to save a negligible amount of time. Without knowing why the route was changed, the driver cannot assess if the time-saving is worth the…2 votes -
Semi-Permanent Hazards
Allow editors to add semi-permanent hazards such as lane blockages and construction, similarly to how we can add fully-permanent hazards like speed bumps and sharp curves.

Continue straight feature not needed
Can you not make “continue straight” feature optional (like you do tolls or not)? It’s an absolutely not necessary feature and very, very annoying. It’s a good thing you took it of as audio but now also take it off visually, please. Read the reviews. I have not read one single positive review about it, did you?
Thank you!3 votes -
WayPoints
While driving down the road, I should be able to press my cat icon and set a waypoint or point of interest using current location. This allows me to save points of interests for future trips. This would be very helpful
