Rain or heavy rain weather report?
Hello waze team!
It would be great if waze could make a new hazard weather report on "raining" or "heavy rain" on the road. I believe it was sort of missing in hazard>weather report section.
Thank you for hearing me out.
Keep up the good work waze team!
53 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Railroad Crossing Ticketing
Hello, in Illinois we have an railroad crossing that tickets you when the lights come on and the fine is a hefty $250. In order to not let others fall into this trap could a speed camera icon or something be added to that crossing? The tracks run by the intersection of Irving Park Rd and Wood Dale Ave

Decreased Max Volume: Apple Music Connected to Waze Playing through Bluetooth
If I’m playing music through Apple Music connected with Waze playing through the car’s Bluetooth: Before beginning navigation, volume for the song begins at 100% of what the phone volume is set to, spoken navigation directions decreases volume of song to give 50/50 blend of music and directions at 100% total volume, and then PROBLEM - music volume increases after directions to ~85% total volume.
My car speakers don’t get loud so I need the phone and car volume at max, and with Waze I cannot get the best experience.

Ability to synchronize a phone with a tablet,
Allow the app to synchronize a tablet with a phone running the app at the same time so those that have a tablet without a cellular plan can simply open the app on the tablet (while mounted on the dash) and run maps without worrying about any hitching or data catch-up the app must do, due to having to use the phone as a hotspot currently.

Plan waypoints on the Livemap
It would be very helpful to plan a route with several waypoints on the Livemap and once planned, send it to the phone App.
11 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Searching when the car is in park. previous car I was able to type the address in when the car is in park. Now requires parking brake ON
Searching when the car is in park. previous car I was able to type the address in when the car is in park. Now requires parking brake ON
For example in the past I used to pull over, and then enter address. Now It requires the parking brake which is just odd.

Voice Change Glitch and Popping Sound?
When using Waze with voice enabled it switches to a different voice for some lines? It didn’t always but lately it switches from the normal voice to a young girl calling red light cameras “Stoplight paparazzi” lol. Also, sometimes while driving with alerts only the music lowers and a pop sound plays and the music returns?? What does that mean?

When a user approaches a collision, they should be able to report which direction they had to shift to. i.e Alert to merge left
When sitting in a traffic jam due to accidents or construction, users should be able to report which way (lane) to shift to so other users behind them can prepare to merge sooner and ease some congestion. Similar to reporting a vehicle on shoulder.

Journey Time in hours and minutes
Hi,
For some time now, the journey time is no longer displayed in hours and minutes, when it is longer than 60 minutes. For example, for a trip of 6 hours and 53 minutes, this gives 413 minutes.
This forces you to convert yourself, which is not easy when driving, because it is not enough to just divide by 60 (in the present example, it would give 6.88 ...).Is it possible to revert to a display in hours and minutes, or to leave the choice to the user in the settings ?
Thanks

Culoare text input locatii salvate
Salut, exista o problema atunci cand vrei sa denumesti o locație salvata, textul din caseta de input este negru pe fundal inchis la culoare. Sugerez modificarea textului la o culoare mai deschisa sau alb.

Been using Waze for a few years now & was reviewing the comments & was a little surprised!!
This past Thursday (Thanksgiving day) we were traveling North from San Diego to the Newport Beach area when I was given a reroute, and a friend of mine was following and he wasn't using Waze (but Google Maps) but he followed me and later thanked me because the traffic had stopped completely and he saw the bad accident & delay. We were able to save ourselves a good 20 minutes by going around the accident that was on the freeway. Of course it was very helpful as we were running behind schedule anyway so this was a good experience for…
1 voteThank you for your kind words. Your feedback is valuable to us, and I'll share it internally.

Route suggestion
Noticed Waze always gives a longer route to destination which is quite silly. I suggest Waze can roll out analysis suggestions on 1)the shortest possible route, 2) the quickest possible route & 3) Waze recommended route instead of the current 3 route suggestions that are very similar.

Remember driver's choice
If the driver intentionally misses a turn for a different route based on his knowledge of the area (e.g. slightly longer, but better quality road) for multiple times, Waze should remember his choice and for the next time navigate through this preferred route by default.

Plan a route that DOES NOT go through a specific location
There was this HUGE traffic jam on a specific road due to an accident. Despite that, Waze acted like it is not aware about this, and all of the computed routes went through this specific road. It would be great for Waze to either add a manual option to plan a route avoiding specific place, or to understand from driver's behavior, that he has no intention or option to drive through this place. Instead, for all three available routes, it kept forcing me to turn around and go directly to the traffic jam.

Compteur
Le compteur est beaucoup trop petit et illisible. On ne sait pas a combien on roule il faut se rapprocher de l'écran et plisser les yeux .... Utilisez vous l'application dans votre voiture ??

Visualización de nombres de calles
En navegación "sin destino" no se ven nombres de todas las calles, al menos se debe garantizar, saber por dónde se está circulando y las calles que se van a cruzar... mayormente no se ven. Depende la pantalla del teléfono celular. Así como también alturas de avenidas (numeración)

Knowing the direction of the closure
Hi>
Why isn't the closure displayed in the app the same way it is on the Waze map editor?
We often encounter misleading reports where users believe the entire street is closed.
I believe it would be beneficial to add small arrows to the traffic closure, similar to those in the map editor, to indicate the direction of the closure.thanks!
3 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, 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!
