Label a planned drive
Is there a way or can developers add a way to have the user label their “planned drives”. Currently the user just sees the address. I find myself scheduling multiple future planned drives and the day of when I check Waze and I’m saying “what am I doing at 124 main st again?”. Now if it had a label like Dental appointment, (124 Main Street) that would create a better user experience. Thx.

Landscape functionality and ongoing waze issues
- Never block speedometer including with photo request, sped limit reached, text box. Never!
- Return and always keep speedometer in bottom left corner - currently often blocked including when speed reached which increases chance of speeding (landscape use). Squish main screen and do not cover with limit reached warning.
- Adjustable text size and speedometer size independently. Shrink window for police and other notifications to show under content and have banner push up to shrink... currently banner pushed speedometer up which is blocked by directions s panel (landscape use).
- Allow AI camera report and via voice.
- Remove default route pop up and…

Waze debería identificar el tipo de vehículos, en el caso de vehículo pesado no crearle ruta por zonas limitadas por ley espacio y riesgo.

iOS App: fewer taps to report incidents?
Feature request: Please allow custom shortcuts for reporting common items like "Car on Shoulder" or "Police" or "Crash". Maybe users can select which ones to have directly on the map display screen.
Right now, it takes 4 taps on the screen to report "Car on shoulder".
Hazard (the yellow triangle)
Hazard (another yellow triangle!!!)
Car on shoulder
ReportThat is too many. I would put an icon for this this directly on the map screen. This is the most common interaction I have with Waze while driving.

I mailed a letter to you at 240 Hamilton Avenue, Palo Alto, CA; it was returned. What is your mailing address, please?
On the app, sometimes the map is replaced by a list of turns. There is no "close." How can I get the map back, please? Linda Barth, barthlinda123@aol.com1 vote -
make alerts omnidirectional
Alert users to incidents on both sides of the road when there is no divider on the road. On two lane highways voice alerts for police and accidents are directional. Meaning it only alerts you to reports that were made in the direction you are traveling. It should alert you to all reports on the road regardless of which direction you’re heading. Helpful for police and accidents when they could affect both lanes.

Display current speed and limit when approaching speed camera
Currently speed camera alert covers whole bottom screen and hides current speed and allowed speed.
It would be super useful even just to see allowed speed!

Creating option in settings to 'Allow U-turns when available'
Currently in the UK, the Waze app will not suggest a u-turn when it is legal and available, and instead it will reroute you in big, difficult, time-wasting loops. It usually happens when you make a wrong turn or are in a rural area. A simple U-turn can save lots of time and frustration but Waze suggests 10+ minute detours instead. Very frustrating and something the user should have power over, given that the country (The UK in this case) allows u-turns on its roads except when specifically prohibited.
11 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Don't automatically start giving directions
I say where to go, then look at rout and options. But before I can decide the app automatically starts yelling directions loudly (in restaurant it's embarrassing). Google Maps waits untill I press the Start button. Maybe that can be an option setting, I HATE your presumption and being forced!

Show all addresses for contacts or use default
I have multiple addresses for many of my Google contacts, but it seems that only the last address for each contact is synced with Waze. It would be nice if all addresses would be synced, or, if only one can be synced, it would be the one marked as default in Google Contacts, not the last.

Time in traffic
The time in traffic is obscured by the zoom buttons +/-. Can you please move them to the right side of the map?

More re-routing flexibility
I would love to specify how open i am to re-routing before a journey - i.e. being able to choose ‘reroute automatically - get me there ASAP’ or ‘don’t reroute without confirmation - prefer my route where possible.’
Why: I drive a specific one of two ways out of my city when taking a long journey because while the other road is technically faster if you drive at the speed limit it is also dangerous and has poor surface conditions. This means in reality it is slower and stressful. If I do not manage to cancel the re-routing in time,…

When in an EV, also show the regular Gas stations category in the Search menu
I'm driving an EV, so Waze replaced the Gas stations category in the search menu with "EV charging" on Android Auto. However, many EV charging stations in my country are in the middle of nowhere, or at least don't have a place to grab a quick bite or refreshing drinks like the regular gas stations have. I tried using the "Food" and "Coffee" categories, but they just search for restaurants or coffee places and are not suitable for a quick stop along the way. Also, I can't enter text in the search box while driving and I can't search for…

Enhancing Waze: Traffic Mode vs. Navigation Mode
Problem: When using Waze primarily for traffic and alert monitoring (rather than navigation), essential information like the compass, speed limit, and alert icons doesn’t appear unless a specific destination is set. (I am using ipadOS 17.4)
Suggested Improvement:
Introduce a new option in “Settings: General” called “Default Driving Mode.”
Users can choose between:
Traffic Mode: Starts Waze in full-screen map mode without the “Where to?” prompt. Provides standard map elements and access to submit/receive alerts.
Navigation Mode: Retains the current default map with the persistent “Where to?” prompt.
Consider adding a button on the map display to toggle between Navigation…3 votes -
Correction
In Brazil, using English directions, many highways are designated as "SP-###", which stands for "SãoPaulo". The audio direction is calling out ALL SP highways as "Sulfur mono Phosphide" which is a chemical formula abbreviation S P. Every time an SP hwy is called out, she literally says "sulfur mono phosphide" each time, rather than São Paulo, or simply SP. Needs correction. Very annoying 😑
