1. A few user stories for supporting BEV / electromobility in Waze

   Dear Wazers,

   I have been using your product far before "the Google times." When I first downloaded Waze, the road to my home was not "Wazed-paved" yet, so I had to pave it myself :). Anyway, that's not what I'm writing you about. I want to extend a request to you through a few user stories, which would significantly enhance my electromobility driving experience. I hope you're already thinking in that direction, and we'll see enhancements for BEV (battery-electric vehicles) soon.

   There're plenty of elecromobile-specific apps, but Waze is my current choice for a guidance app. As such, I am suffering because I need to switch back/forth from Waze to another app when it comes time to plan a long drive.

   If you would like to enhance our experience with Waze easily, you could partner with the two most powerful solutions, PlugShare and abetterrouteplanner.com (of course, if they agree). But I think you're big enough to believe in enhancing your app by yourself and giving us the functionality to fulfill our e-mobility needs.

   I took the liberty to draft a few user stories, which I can find very useful. Although all of them will give excellent functionality to Waze, the first one is the most important, which would position Waze as the first massively used navigation software which incorporates proper functionality for e-mobility. I hope you have plans to win this market even better.

   In any case, here're the stories. Each story has a justification/overview to it.

   As a user, I need to see charging stations on the map so that I can plan my travel accordingly

   This one is the "mother of all e-mobility" stories. Of course, it's so big that it's easily epic, but shortly said, we, the users, need a way to see the charging stations on the map.

   The distinguished properties of each charger on the map should be like those below:

     name: "Awesome charger" # The name of the charging station, user free-form
     owner: "EVPoint" # the charging station owner
     description: "Please use our apps, available at our home page https://evpoint.bg/, to activate the charger."
     max-power: 150 # the maximum power, in kW, of the whole station. Sometimes people use only this parameter to judge the power delivery speed, but often it's necessary to have granulation per socket.
     connectors: # Lists all charging connectors available at the station. This is a good reference for it: https://evcharging.enelx.com/resources/blog/552-ev-charging-connector-types
       - CCS2: # CCS2 charging connectors at the station
           - count: 2 # two CCS2 charging connectors
           - max-power: 75 # 75 kW max power each
       - CHADEMO: # Chademo connectors at the station
           - count: 1 # one Chademo connector
           - max-power: 50 # 50 kW max power 
   

   The description might seem optional, but without it we will need a place to know the URL from which we will access the charging app. Usually, most of the manufacturers have their specific apps. So any particular data on how to access the station services is put in this field.

   A very important part of this functionality is the filters. When a BEV travels a long distance, we usually use the fact DC-chargers. These give us a charge for approx 100-150 miles (150-250 km) in 10-20 minutes. Most of these chargers are located near (or directly as part of) existing gas stations.

   As part of an MVP, I would accept the first four fields, with the ability to filter by max-power. However, an "MVP-2" stage with the connectors property, and the ability to filter by their type, will be a must since not all cars support all connectors. For example, a TESLA might have its own connector only, and my car has only CCS2 for DC charging.

   As a user, I would like to enter my BEV range so that Waze helps me plan longer rides

   This is a must if I could use Waze as my assistant for BEV travels. My vehicle has a range (let's simplify this for now - just a number of km or miles in my account).

   Based on this range, Waze could show me in a friendly way, directly over my travel map, where my coverage ends. Then I can zoom in, choose a suitable charging station, and plan my ride accordingly (see below). For this, Waze has to have support for more than one Stops (I think right now you allow only one stop, but even this would do, for an MVP, it's more than OK).

   As a user, I need better support for community-driven charging station data and status

   The community feedback is critical since the map is not yet saturated with chargers. Thus, having the ability to rate/comment on each charging station is a functionality that I use very often. When I plan my trip, I usually avoid chargers, where the community says "broken." And when a charger comes back online, the community is very fast to indicate this.

   The best way to leave feedback is to indicate if any user had a successful charging session. A simple Yes/No would do. The system can then calculate an overall rating per charger and display it in a Rating section. The written feedback from each user can also be displayed there (if there's such a given with the "Charge-successful/unsuccessful" rate).

4. Navigation alerts

   A voice option with fewer navigation commands would be great. At the moment, you can choose between On, Off and Alerts Only but none of those are ideal. When On and driving in a city, there's just a constant stream of navigation commands as everything is repeated at least twice. With Alerts Only, though, you get no navigation. We need a navigation commands option that just gives a navigation command once.

5. Quicker Hazard Reporting

   There still needs to be a quicker way to report hazards. The long tap, swipe up or voice reports don't save much time and are still very distracting while driving. Perhaps a generic 'hazard reported' button on the home map? That would just be one click and at least alert other drivers that there is a hazard of aome sort. If other drivers have more time, they can then give a more detailed report.

6. fix app crashes before reading other tips which is getting ridiculous

   fix the app crashes before reading other tips, it has been almost a year that waze crash like many I read around, I have a samsung a52, but I see in the forums that many have this problem during normal use crash continuously becoming dangerous in the driving, especially on the bike since with gloves I can't reactivate waze, maybe it opens by itself to go back to the last route but after 3 minutes it crashes again

7. Make non-residential place addresses indexed and routable

   Editors spend much time adding RPPs to public places because the addresses in the place points are not indexed/routable and the HNs won't connect to the parking lot roads. Plus if routing uses the Google Maps address we spend more time handling URs because the Wazer got routed to the back of the location rather than the front door. This is an absurd waste of time, and adds untold complexity and clutter to the map. Please expand the place addresses to allow for suite numbers or other identifiable info where businesses share the same basic as GM already does, and then make these addresses indexed and routable. This would eliminate a huge amount of editor frustration, not to mention freeing up a huge amount of time that can be used for other needed editing. If Waze is unwilling to create an indexed and routable database for non-residential place addresses then let's just use GM's database and fix the location errors in it.

8. Go back a couple of updates!

   Please take the current version of Waze back a couple of updates! You've taken a stable, easy to use, reliable, "real time" app that was bug free and a joy to use and replaced it with a slower, inconsistent and definitely not "real time" inferior version. The old adage is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". My old Waze was quick to load, updated traffic conditions and changes quickly, often giving me notice of problems ahead before I reached them. The latest version is slow to load, gets stuck on the "Around you" page, which I don't use and don't want, now advises me of traffic jams and hold ups 5 minutes after I've got stuck in them and keeps trying divert me to an alternative route because of "road closures" when I'm actually driving down the road that is supposed to be closed. Please give us back our "old" Waze - it worked perfectly so why try and fix it???

   Hay usuarios que están declarando precios falsos de combustible y que son demasiado evidentes, por la proporción antigüedad/diferencia de precio entre lo informado y lo real. Hay que regular qué usuarios pueden informar los precios. Que tengan un kilometraje mínimo requerido, que se pueda denunciar al usuario que lo hace, etc.

11. Route choice

    Hello, would it be possible to add choices of route type, for example shortest or fastest. Cause now it's not clear how he tries to lead us and lately it seems it's not logical at all. For example, I was driving through Autobahn in night, where I can drive on 140km/h but waze taught it would be a great idea to change this route to a small forest road that has a 30 km/h speed limit with bumps on road.

18. Traffic changes updates more frequently

    I've noticed lately that Waze is more "lazier" when updating the state of the traffic ahead. Many times, the traffic that was bad, has improved, but Waze continues to show the route as trafficked. And that's a bad thing, because it could suggest alternative routes faster and more often when traffic quickly deteriorates ahead, or choose to take a shorter, freer route when traffic improves. Decrease the traffic update time to improve this point for drivers.

19. Routes via faster alternate paths

    I've noticed lately that Waze has been suggesting routes very similar to the routes suggested by Google Maps: through avenues and main streets that are most often jammed. Some time ago, Waze suggested smarter routes, avoiding traffic jams and going deeper into neighborhoods. The route was longer, but much faster. Today, he insists on passing only the main streets and this considerably increases the travel time. When the path is known I always follow the routes suggested in the past by Waze and 100% of the time I save between 5 to 10 minutes, which is a lot of time considering that in a month I save at least 3 hours! I'd like you to go back to the old route calculation that opted for smarter and faster paths.

20. Waze, Android Auto, 2018 Chrysler Pacifica doesn't work

    2018 Chrysler Pacifica. Pixel 4xl, pixel 6 Pro, pixel 7 Pro. Waze navigation does not work on Android Auto. It loses GPS connection and stops working. If I go into the phone settings and turn location off, wait a minute and turn it back on, Waze might work for a few seconds and then quits again.
