Cancel traffic report due to bad GPS signal
Occasionally the client automatically creates a traffic load report (due to bad GPS signal?), even though the traffic is flowing freely. It would be nice to be able to cancel such a report.
5 votesYou can cancel a report that you have sent. You need to view this event from the list view (after pressing the ! with the events number next to it).
Then choose to show the options for this report, and ask to delete it. -
Waze Joyride - Plan cookie munching trip
Instead of navigating from A to B, can I plan a circular route with as much cookie munching as possible? My regular commute no longer suggests new routes, but I'd like to explore the area and have say a 30 min trip validating as many roads as possible.
33 votesThis is available – in the route settings, you can choose ‘prefer cookie munching’. This will make the route a bit longer, but will include more road munching, where available.

alerts without scrolling
The alert system is great, but when you're driving it would be easier to see all buttons on the same screen, with no need for scrolling. When you need to scroll the list to see all icons it makes you lose attention to the road.
Would it be too difficult to add all kind of alerts on the same window?6 votes -
Zoom level resets after waze shows alerts while stopped
If I'm driving and set my zoom at a certain level and stop, waze shows nearby alerts... great! But when I drive again my zoom level is not what I've set it at. Also, please make the app show the alert on the side of the screen and put the pinpointed alert on the other side while in landscape mode. Sometimes an alert is useless without seeing it and currently the warning covers the map!
12 votesFixed in version 2.2 and onwards

Show current scale on screen (cm long line with how many meters it is).
Sometimes it is hard to know if a juction is a km away or just 50 meters, specially if you're only showing map without any guidance. Autoscale makes this even more difficult.
24 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, this option is now available.

Allow declaring Toll Roads and the option to not navigate through them
Waze wants to route me through a toll road every day and can't seem to find an alternate route until I actually drive it. I want to be able to avoid Toll roads, which means tolls roads need to be able to be declared in the editor.
693 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Show username if nickname is empty.
If you choose to display your name and the 'Nickname' field is empty, you are still Anonymous. The username should be shown by default in this case.
27 votesFrom version 2.1 and on, nickname cannot be empty, and it is defaulted to the user name.

Force Reroute Button
Many times i can see that the freeway/higway I´m about to enter is slow moving, and waze wants to route me into that sometimes even if there is reported trafficjams/heavy traffic etc on that road. A button on screen or easy accesssible (poosibly instead of the bulldozer) to force an alternative route would really help
69 votesAvailable on version 2.2 and on. To reroute, click on the green bar (after starting the route).
One of the options is to recalculate the route, i.e. force a reroute. -

record my present location like favorite
now it's difficult to add favorites.
I think, it's would be great to be able to add our location like a new favorite location.
People are use to be in their favorite locations2 votesThis can already be done today…
On touch screen you have to do a long press on your location (or any location on the map) and you will see the option to save it.
On non-touch you just need to hit the main button (usually “OK” or “enter”) and this will allow you to save the location.If you feel like this description is not good enough, please write to alpha@waze.com

while we still need to improve this a bit (work on special scenarios that involve ramps and other special road types), the issue should be fixed. If you still notice problems with it, please writ to alpha@waze.com

Limit traffic alerts to same country/smaller area
There's no point in showing alerts from 2000+ km away. Most people are only interested in alerts in their immediate area.
62 votesOn Android, iPhone and next versions of Symbian and WM, you can set a radius for alerts. Go to general settings.
