  2. report lane changes in yards not feet

    when distance is set to miles, small distances are reported in feet, yards is more commonly in use ( at least for significant distances of say 1000 feet (300!yards)) in uk

  3. Alarms instead of notifications

    I love the "Later" option for planning trips but the reminder notifications go missed quite often. A few options would be great.
    1. Make a Calendar event (or part of an existing one) so that reminder alarms can be used based on your default settings. If it would adjust to 15 mins (or user determined) before you need to leave that would be awesome.
    2. Allow the user to set the time before you need to leave... getting a reminder saying "Leave Now" is not realistic... let us decide how much time we need before the "leave by" time.

  9. warning about use when driving

    I have found that the Waze 'safety warning' about getting input while the car is moving to be very troublesome. I get the warning in my driveway (300 meters long) while driving at 10 mph and have more inputs to do as a result. I also do input at higher speeds trying to use the microphone to speak in the destination, but it is complicated by the "safety" feature.

  11. Notorious speed trap locations/communities

    There any number of notorious locations or communities that appear to prey on out of town drivers by placing hidden speed traps and adhering to exact speed limits. The locals know of them and even worse the local cops smile and wave at the same locals "speeding". By contrast they seem to relish going after out of town folks who are not likely or able to dispute a speeding ticket. Some sort of warning to unknowing folks that any speed beyond the speed limit puts you at risk.

  12. gravação de percurso

    boa noite!

    percebi um detalhe que talvez poderia melhorar no app sobre gravação de percurso de um motorista em movimento.

    após dar o play, ou "ir agora" notei que o app não grava o percurso que está sendo guiado pelo motorista no celular para fazer upload no final com wifii tipo o app "strava", salvar o percurso ao vivo o tempo todo da muitas falhas de comunicação para quem não tem sinal bom de rede telefone..

    os avisos sim deveriam ser ao vivo, mas a gravação de percurso deveria ficar armazenada no telefone para upload após o motorista dar o…

  13. S-Turn penalties

    In case of traffic even light, some ways become impossible to cross, mainly ave. with more than 3 or 4 lanes.
    Proposal to include a S-Turn routing penalties in case of traffic in the crossing street.
    This will avoid routing in ways with less than 200m (safe length for lane change is S-Turn even with traffic).

  14. To stop WAZE from automatically shutting down

    Could it be possible to keep WAZE active, until the user closes the app down. Ok here is what WAZE has done for years. You activate waze, put in your route and go. You then minimize Waze. Waze happily stays active if you are on the move. BUT become stuck in traffic, Waze will just shutdown. Could Waze be designed to not shutdown the app if minimised, when you are stuck in traffic. It is so annoying. You won't realise Waze is shutdown unless you look at your phone screen and fire Waze back up again, which well then say…

  16. Mark bad quality road

    There are so many roads witch are paved, but the quality is so awful, its more like driving on dirt road or trail. Would be great to mark bad quality roads so I could avoid driving there and save my car instead of braking it driving trough. Of course there should be an option to avoid bad quality roads also in the Waze app. I hope to see this feature in soon future. Best regards

  17. Fix the follow my friend, it used to show the icon and how far. Also bring back the moving icon on the follow my friend drive

    The map used to have a feature that would have a friends icon that would move on the map instead of every 5 or 10 minutes. Also can you fix the follow my friend on the home map that used to show as a icon of your friend on the right side along with their status if there trip.

  18. Stop forcing toll routes

    I use waze every day for my daily commute and love almost everything about the app.

    That being said, I am frustrated with a recent update in regards to the routing options. I used to be able to select avoid toll roads, and all of the routes provided would be toll free. Now, even if I have avoid toll roads selected, there is still one or more routes showing toll options. I live here, I know where the toll roads are, and if I wanted to spend an extra $100/wk I wouldn't need Waze as those roads always have less…

  19. safe routes

    Dear,
    I write them because I love the app, however when I use the app at night, I would like it to include safe routes, I know that for you may sound strange, but in my country there are routes that during the night in certain points of the city is Extremely dangerous to go through assaults, robberies or kidnappings. It would be interesting to be able to work on creating safer but less efficient routes alternatives when you deem it convenient.

    I hope you like my idea and I love working on it.
    Best regards.

  20. PELIGRO, GRACIAS A WAZE UN DELINCUENTE HA EVITADO EL CONTROL POLICIAL

    No me gustaría que a mi hijo lo atropellara un conductor borracho que acaba de evitar un control de la policía gracias a los avisos en Waze, o que un delincuente mate a alguien porque ha evitado dichos controles y sigue haciendo de las suyas, incluso que un comando terrorista siga su camino porque ha sido informado de los puestos de control de la policía.
    NO A LOS AVISOS DE PUESTOS DE CONTROL DE LA POLICÍA. ELIMINEN ESA OPCIÓN DE WAZE.
    ¡¡¡POR QUERER AHORRAR UNA MULTA PONEMOS EN RIESGO NUESTRA VIDA Y LA DE LOS DEMÁS!!!!
