Open up Waze Carpool for Trinidad and Tobago to reduce Traffic
Big benefits to bring Carpool to Trinidad and Tobago to:-
-- reduce the number of cars on the road during rush hour traffic (5am-9am) & (3pm-7pm). It is grid-lock at these times and can take up to 3 hours to get into and out of the capital (Port of Spain)
-- car ownership is prohibitively expensive
-- public transportation is risky
-- public transportation is unreliable
-- be environmentally conscious to the earth by being more economical moving peopleHelp our little paradise to become better and more responsible. Help to bring Waze Carpool to Trinidad and Tobago

Select initial driving direction
Very often Waze starts up navigation facing the wrong driving direction. The direction is rectified as the vehicle starts moving, but it can be too late for the initial turn.
Please add the ability to switch driving direction when navigation starts, via a button.
Additionally, Waze should make a better guess at the intial driving direction by using compass data.
10 votesThank you for this suggestion.
Setting the Car’s direction when starting the app and navigation is a known matter which will be addressed in the future.
There are many complexities in location tracking which cause this issue and hold us from providing a solution.
It’s currently on the back burner, but definitely a part of the backlog. -

Drive plus walk
Add option to find quickest route with additional walking. Many times waze navigates to exact location without taking into account faster route to near by location. I personally would rather walk an additional 100 meters to avoid sitting in traffic. This is especially warranted when using a taxi who relies on waze and additional cost is influenced by route. This feature can be an added route option without interfering with the basic platform most users prefer.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion!
Waze can currently direct your partial walking route when it’s a part of a drive or carpool.
We are currently not planning on adding walking mode for complete routes.

The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.

Bringing back celebrity voices as paid content
Many new users may have missed promotional content involving celebrity voices and would love to have them back, even as paid content. While having limited time voices may bring in more users, keeping the voices after the promotion and allowing access for a fee will definitely bring in even more users .
4 votesThank you for your suggestion!
Some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.
We currently don’t offer a paid version of app voices.We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!

Bring Back Promotional Voices
Please bring back promotional voices. The voices make the app fun and there hasn't been any for a while. As a lyft/Uber driver the voices are great conversation starters and my passengers really get a kick out of them. I would also like to be able to keep voices that I have downloaded for use at any time.

When @Home location, app assumes on drive not road and can choose left or right direction
Currently frequently when I select my destination when on my drive Waze will think I am on the road outside and send me in a massive loop that adds 6 minutes ot the journey.
When my journey may be left or right out of the drive depending on the traffic it then courses an unnecessary bias in the results.
IF I look at the route options I then will select the route that has been "discounted" to see if it was assuming the right turn that is not needed and therefore would be quicker.
The app should just assume in…

Thank you for your suggestion!
This suggestion will not be implemented for the time being. Adding more and more options to reporting, especially for less popular types of reports such as other side which will also require another window/card, is not something we are aiming for at the moment. Please be aware that other side reporting is already available by voice using the Google Assistant! We believe investing in voice can create essentially a better and more scalable experience and we hope to bring it to more languages soon.

Voice ads instead of popping ads that would block the navigation screen.
Hi Waze team, have an idea/suggestion...
Instead of popping out ads during users’ navigation, why not let the Voice Direction narrate the ads? So it would be a voice ad, like in the fm radio. And you can also add a cute lil “go-to” button on the navigation screen so users can tap on it and gets navigated to the shop/advertiser if applicable and necessary.
Reason being is; when you pop out ads while users are navigating, typically it would block the navigation screen, and users would just:
- either ignore with hopes that the ad would go away quickly…2 votesThank you for your suggestion! We try to make our ads as useful as possible to Wazers. An ad-free version is not planned for the near future.
