Get rid of Google
Cuz Waze juzt plain sucks now. I love it when you give alternate routes and I pick one because I sure as hell know this area better than your AI and I also know what happens when the area has an event. Three times, THREE in 10 minutes I have to pick an alternate route today because your app ignores the route I have picked and sends me right into the area which I am trying to avoid. Your app frequently costs me time, costs me money and complete aggregation over the sheer idiocy of this exact issue. This will…

Passenger mode
So here's the deal: Waze is great bc it helps users find the best route and helps businesses let users know they are nearby. The problem is, drivers are (I hope) more focused on the road than the road, so a significant percentage of the paid ads go unnoticed. But there is a solution: make using waze fun for a passenger. Here's how to do that: enable a passenger mode (yes, I know, we can already select "passenger" but we all know that's legal bs) whereby they are engaged in the app playing a game with various advertisers, perhaps a…

Call or text a friend before pickup
a feature that lets you mark contacts as friends you're picking up, maybe save their addresses.
and 5 minutes before reaching the destination to pick up the friend
Send an auto text saying something like "hey it's waze, name will pick up you up in 5 minutes, (s)he's driving a black toyota"
And by 2 minutes before, suggest to call that friend, or auto call to let him/her know that you're out, waiting.
All of this planned when starting off the navigation, and without touching the phone.2 votes -

Affichage nom des rues : très gênant !!!
Bonjour,
J'utilise la dernière version Androïd disponible (4.24.0.2), et je suis souvent gêné par les très (trop) nombreuses bulles indiquant le nom des rues sur mon trajet.
Cela masque fréquemment des intersections, et n'apporte aucune d'aide à la navigation.Puis-je les désactiver ? Comment ?
Merci

Stop sending warning about available Waze updates, esp. on a Holiday
EVERY time I update Waze I have a subsequent problem. Today, the Memorial holiday in the USA, I get a notification of a Waze update available. I am aware of this update since February 9th.
1. EVERY time I update Waze I have problems. My current problem that has existed since I last updated is that when I click on the notice at the top of my Galaxy S4 for 'its time to start driving' the destination information disappears.
2. I have reviewed the information on the Waze update still to download and I DO NOT NEED a voice recorder…1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Currently playing music shown on map
I use my phone to listen to music while driving (through Bluetooth) a lot of the time and I also use the screen of my phone to see what song is playing, I just thought it would be a cool thing for the app to tell you what song is playing on your phone while having the map open. I have seen other apps do this so I know it is possible.

Setting to turn off big purple road names
Many times these "new" big purple road names block the map at intersections and make it difficult to know if you are turning onto the correct street.

Hlášení nebezpečí přes Google Text-to-speach
Když se objeví na trase nebezpečí, tak to hlásí "Na trase je hlášeno nebezpečí". To ale bohužel nestačí, protože nevím jaké nebezpečí mě čeká.
Lepší by bylo převést text na řeč (přes Google Text-to-speach) a říci "Na trase je hlášeno nebezpečí - oprava vozovky" nebo "Na trase je hlášeno nebezpečí - srážka dvou vozidel - zdržení 5 minut".
A podobné rozšiřující informace.

Make navigation intuitive - have the navigation voice speak from the direction of the next turn.
Do you ever get confused with left and right?
My wife does, causing panic when she takes both hands off the wheel to for the "L" with both hands.
The solution, and also a darn cool feature, is to have the navigation voice "move towards" the junction you going to turn off on as you approach it, using stereo.
Problem solved - just follow the voice!

Inshore boat hazard and police icons
Please add a boat police icon for inshore "water waze." Many times we are detained and searched on the way into the ramps or home and it would be nice to know what areas are being observed and delayed by police and game wardens. I was thinking of a sinking boat for hazards and a blue light boat for law enforcement.

sharing location even if waze is off makes many people not use it at all... that should change i think ...
Having some companies like google or Facebook in mind i think lots of people will not use waze because it uses your location even when not on. Too be honest - i do not use any app that will use/send any data while not being even activated...

Routine reminders/notifications/alarms
Along the lines of alarms... for repeated trips (like commuting) it would be great if Waze could alert you of potential delays and/or suggest you leave earlier for daily commute if it is seeing traffic/construction/etc.

Alarms instead of notifications
I love the "Later" option for planning trips but the reminder notifications go missed quite often. A few options would be great.
1. Make a Calendar event (or part of an existing one) so that reminder alarms can be used based on your default settings. If it would adjust to 15 mins (or user determined) before you need to leave that would be awesome.
2. Allow the user to set the time before you need to leave... getting a reminder saying "Leave Now" is not realistic... let us decide how much time we need before the "leave by" time.
