Please turn off the "You parked here" pop-up or at least give the option to disable it.
Stop trying to do too much!!! I don't need to know or share where I parked when I first start the app especially if I'm sitting in my car where I parked it. I want to enter my destination and go. If I want to share my location, I'll do so through the menu. Very annoying.

Waze widget
Today for the firsrt time i installed the waze widget. I liked but it seemed very simple. I think that the ETA shown was if I took TOLL roads bit when I touched "Drive" it took me to the non-TOLL road (which was the one I wanted but then the ETA was much longer) So I had one Idea but I need to show it. How can attach a picture to this post? But in other words it would nice to have the ETAs for TOLL roads and non-TOLL roads. Let me know if i can send a picture. I…

A lot of folks really wish my voice was included in the voice options. What are the ways in which you decide what voices you use?

A way to block roads except for residents. Potentially during certain hours.
Massachusetts has quite a few areas with signs “residents only” or “local traffic only”, some during certain hours.

A voice with a Texas accent would be fun.
Maybe various regions of the country would like to select their own regional accents.

Keep Spotify pause button when approaching destination
In the current integration between Waze and Spotify, when you get close to your destination (about .3 miles away), Waze closes the Spotify integration at the top and replaces it with information about your destination. This keeps your music playing. As someone who makes frequent stops late at night to different houses (pizza delivery), I like to turn off my music temporarily while I focus on looking for house numbers. I currently have to swipe up and pause Spotify from my Iphone quick settings menu.
It would be much appreciated if you could keep even just the pause music button…

Add warning about "Off-road/Not maintained" segments
Following warnings can be used:
* voice warning - on navigating to new POI, on entering "Off-road/Not maintained" segments
* show such segments as bars with special color on roure chart similar to bars with traffic jams
* highlight such segments with special color on map. With current implementation user is able to find such segments with map color scheme for editors. After navigating to POI it is covered with bold line of proposed route so colors are not visible16 votes -

Auto Detect Speed in Traffic
Instead of the user selecting the "level" of traffic, Waze should automatically detect the user's speed for a specified time and/or distance to calculate an accurate delay due to the traffic. Then Waze should continue to monitor new users as they pass through the traffic zone to determine if the event is still occurring or if it needs to be removed and transit times recalculated.

ליצור שיתוף פעולה בין ווייז לבין ארגון 'ידידים' - עזרה ראשונה (לא רפואית) בדרכים
הרעיון הוא לתת אפשרות לנהגים לדווח על צורך בעזרה.
ושהדיווח הזה יגיע למתנדבי ידידים שנמצאים בסביבה בזמן אמת.
וכך לסייע גם לנהגים וגם לגומלי חסדים שרוצים לעזור על בסיס התנדבותי.4 votes -
WAZE changing my usual route
I just wish WAZE would let me know the reason why it wants to change my usual route to something different. I was working 30 min away from home and one day it routed me in a different direction. Turns out, at the 20min mark was an accident and it had the traffic stopped. Just wish it told me the reason why.

Auto-restart app and continue navigation to last entered destination when crashed or shutdown unexpectedly
Hi,
Sometimes the app crashes for some reason. I would like Waze to auto restart the app (use an iOS/Android command like Skype that checks if the application is still running, if not, then start application)
The reason for the auto-restart is that I do not want to touch the device while driving. Especially when on a motorcycle.

Add places you want or need to visit, when you are near.
I am forgetful. It would be amazing to add places you should visit somtime. Like going to a special store or picking up something you bought. Or even jobs you need to do.
You could set a nearby limit, like when in aprox 3km away you get a popup of this place, do you want to visit this place on your route today?
You should be able to add vital information as phone numbers and links to items or places.

enlarge buttons & keyboard, to make it user friendly for us left handed people & us girls with long nails.
when you are left handed using your right hand on the touchscreen in the car, you are not as accurate & you slip. same happens with long nails. it's frustrating & doesn't support driving safely.

Update to run on background on Sync 3
The iPhone and Samsung devices recently released will show signs of burns when a picture is on for a long period of time. In this case since the screen has to be on in order for the car to run app its very bad for phone screen and can also make device get really hot and may start fire inside vehicle . I drive for hours at a time and i have noticed the heating problem. Please update app to run in the background with screen off.

Ask before you grab a persons time.
Before the app goes through all the set-up screens please ask the user if they just need directions right now and set-up later. They might be in a difficult situation and not have time for an app that keeps trying to build their profile. Your product us used in a dangerous environment and insistent / persistent distraction is stressful at the least and at worst potentially life threatening.

Flash écran pour les alertes et/ou les changements de directions.
Bonjour,
je n'utilise pas les alertes vocales parce que j'écoute souvent la radio et que celles-ci viennent couper le fils des discutions.
Par contre je passe parfois à coté d'alerte parce que mon oeil n'a pas capté qu'il y avait un danger devant ou un changement d'itinéraire par rapport à d'habitude.
je propose une option qui consisterait a faire une flash rapide avec l'écran (par le flash de l’appareil photo ... il est derrière l'écran ...) pour avertir de ces alertes ou des changements de directions.8 votes -
