Ads too small to see while driving
Whenever I stop, an ad pops up on Waze. Of course I don’t want ads, but if you are going to do them make them much simpler and larger so the driver can read them. They are crowded with content and tiny which make them useless.

Police checkpoints live for Midlands South Carolina.
We deserve the right to have the locations and time of these things as much as they have the right to do them.3 votes -
Give real km distance vs destination - not straight line
When entering the destination address please give a real distance by road and not in straight line.
This would avoid to underestimate the time needed to reach the destination when we are just planning a travel in advance.3 votes -
CarPlay volumn
Hello
I am so grateful that Waze now works with CarPlay on my new Mercedes E300. I noticed that Waze will reduce the volume of other apps on my iPhone, so that I can continue to hear the other app in the background as Waze provides navigation.
However, Waze appears to connect to CarPlay via the car's navigation volume control while other CarPlay apps connect to CarPlay via the car's entertainment volume control. Consequently, CarPlay stops other audio while Waze makes navigation announcements.
Nice would be a optional setting in Waze for how the app connects to CarPlay, via navigation…6 votes -
Aliases for waze
Simple but extremely useful. I think that you should add Aliases option. For example, if I want to travel to my friend Michael, I'll write "Michael" in the search bar or say "Michael" to the voice search and my friends house will be the first option.

Add add'l servers to system
Quite often Waze will not provide nav route and gives "error can't connect to server" message. Thinking there are many more users now and add'l servers are needed. Otherwise love the app.

Accident Tracking - High Risk Areas
Use reports by fellow Wazers to track and show areas on the map where multiple accidents have been reported so as to indicate them as "high risk areas" where drivers should be extra cautious. There are a variety of reasons that accidents and wrecks occur but after tracking them for some time, trends could easily be seen and indicated on any device.

Who is the JERK that took away the Prevent auto-lock option???
I just switched phones (Note 3 to a Note 9). Incoming calls now take over Waze screen, which may or may not come back after call. WTF??? Why has the Prevent auto-lock functionality been removed???

In honor of White Cane Safety Day, create a alert to drivers that notifies the driver a person using a white cane is ahead.
A person with a visual impairment can log on to the app and WAZE will track the user as they walk.
A driver using the app is notified when a person using a white cane is nearby.114 votes -
Update app
Update app. Today Waze took me directly into a standstill when there was another exit that would’ve taken me around the traffic.

translate
I love having foreign voices announce my trip on Waze. Why not have an option that immediately follows the foreign voice into English (or another language) to help me learn the first language. This could then be even further expanded to read places, shops etc and teach another language while we drive!

AskWazersBox - a hybrid reporting tool enhancing Wazers and Map Editors cooperation
As StreetView is often outdated or just does not exist when trying to keep Waze Maps updated with latest road constructions or changes, road configurations/restrictions/speed limits/signs etc. needs to be checked and verified on-spot. There's no chance Waze Map Editors will go and check everything themselves. We have so many Wazers driving around that could help them answering specific questions.
I suggest creating a hybrid reporting tool that would extend existing reporting functionality and help Waze Map Editors gathering specific answers they need directly from Wazers who are on-spot. This would let to keep Waze Maps updated as fast and…

Bring back other calendars than google calendars (ex. outlook calendar) to synchronize with in "planned routes"
"Planned routes" is a great feature to plan my routes, but lately it is only possible to synchronize with google calendars. Please bring back the feature to synchronize with other calendars, like outlook calendar, as well, so I do not have to manually import my meetings in Waze.

Waze to confirm when it has read UserVoice ideas
I have an issue with Waze - a bug in my opinion - and found it has been reported and voted on here but over 6 years ago! There is zero indication that Waze is actively reading this forum nor that it is planning to introduce any of the ideas suggested here.
a) For Waze to either use a builtin facility of UserVoice, if it exists, or, otherwise, use a comment, to indicate when it has read a suggestion

WAZE as a tool for the destination
You indicate a destination on the WAZE, and this leads you, with pertinent updates. The destination might know that when you are arriving, for example a restaurant, if you encourage customers to access the WAZE to go there, the restaurant could have a scoreboard with the arrival information and could program. Open your minds for use in hospitals, airports, cargo transportation, ...

Improve route guidance
Please take your time to analize these factors;
Waze, everytime you release a new update, it doesn’t alway fix or updates one of the most important thing, which is the routing itself, another word;
Waze does not always end the route where it needs to be (it ends somewhere close),
When it comes to apartments complexes, it takes you most of the time through the exit gate instead of the main gain (just because it seeing the final address as closer to the exit, I get it but it it’s not correct),
The “fastest route” it’s not alway the safer…1 voteThanks for reaching out.

Can we have WAZE active in Malawi please
Malawi is open to business now and geo-location is a dependency for most businesses to thrive. It would be a great addition to have WAZE active in Malawi, atleast most major cities
