  1. Allow default sharing of route to android share rather than internal sharing mechanism

    Currently sharing is done to an alphabetical user list from my contacts. This is of course kind of silly since most of us use waze for navigation but not as a means of communication. I would like to see the old sharing back as default (share via other app), or even better - remember which app i used last to share and offer it as default. In the past 4 years I have shared my ride not via whatsapp only once, and that was into facebook chat.

  2. Add Shazam to the Waze app

    I love to use the Waze.app while I'm driving and especially on long road trips. But I find myself switching to Shazam whenever I hear a song on the radio that I want to identify and it can be difficult to switch back and forth between apps while driving on the highway. Can you add the ability to Shazam a song within the Waze.app and show the song title and artist on the map and if I click on it go to the Shazam app?

    Thank you and keep up the great work on the absolute best mobile traffic and…

  3. Waze can put Road view into the GPS so that we could know which is the Exit in the Highway. I saw other such as Garmin and Papago did.

    Waze could put road view like example if theres 2 exits, a picture of the roads could appear With an arrow to should which road so we wont miss out.

  5. Halfway there

    An announcement that indicates when you're halfway to your destination would be best. Could also extend and say 3/4 of the way there or just almost there! Type announcement.

  7. Traffic Signal Integration

    This is a huge undertaking but would be an awesome feature. Waze would have the ability to know when traffic signals are red and green based on Wazers. It can detect a Wazer ahead is stopped at an intersection, and can warn others behind that the signal is Red. This may also impact ETAs as well. In high volume cities like LA, this would be a feasible idea especially during rush hour. However, it may not be realistic at times of lower volume. This could save time, allow for smarter decisions, save gas, and be greener for the entire world!

  12. Beacon

    I am a cyclist and I would love to be able to put my phone in a beacon mode which will allow users of this app to be notified when I am close by. This concept could be used for runners, walkers, bikers, and any other activity that is near or on roadways.

  13. Create an event destination where all shares their destinations

    I would like to extend the already existing http://waze.to feature so that I can enter an address instead of a pure GUID. Maybe this would look like:
    http://waze.to/?ll=38.62464092991612,-90.1847612857818&EventID=GUID

    This would make it possible to auto generate links for my kids sports events and the sport clubs web-page. Like "We are having a game this weekend at arena X. Use this link to navigate: http://waze.to/?ll=38.62464092991612,-90.1847612857818&EventID=123456789"

    Everybody that push that link will automatically share their destinations, and there will be no information like "Adam shares this drive". If sport-clubs starts automate this method, the usages of Waze will be higher

  15. PERMANENTLY disable sounds including after updates

    Stop turning the damn sound/ voice back on with every f-ing update. We turn that crap off for a reason and I am getting tired of resetting the sounds to OFF with every f-ing update!

  16. Waze crashes on Lenovo K910

    I have a problem, Waze keeps crashing on my Lenovo K910. It starts then shuts down.
    My Waze version is 3.9.0.0 and my Android version is 4.4.2 with VIBEUIV2.014437.67.1ST_K910.
    Any idea what is wrong and how to fix it?

  17. Advanced config option: GPS inaccuracy tolerance

    So I'm currently using a rather cheap chinese android phone with an abyssimal GPS system. Even though it reports 5 meters of GPS accuracy, the exact position jumps all over the place, maybe in a 100m radius.
    This confuses the hell out of waze, and I get teleported all over the surrounding neighborhood while driving.
    Maybe it would be possible to add an advanced configuration option to fine-tune waze's location-estimation-algorithm?
    Something along the lines of "if the GPS position fluctuates by X meters in Y seconds, assume that the user is still on the recommended route, or at least hasn't…

  18. Advanced config options: GPS reboot cycle time

    Some phones need quite some time, after powering the GPS system on and off, to get a lock. It seems to me that waze, after not detecting a GPS lock after X seconds, power-cycles the GPS subsystem.
    It would be great (and very easy to add?) if there were some advanced config option to configure this behaviour, and select after how much time waze power-cycles the GPS system.

  19. In need of parking

    Sometimes I get somewhere and then I have to look for a parking lot or a parking space and I lose a lot of time. I think it might be a good idea to suggest the parking lots that are close by before arriving or even at the beginning of the ride ask if finding a parking space will be necessary (if rates could be added, that would be great as well)

  20. say im at a red light

    My idea is for the waze app. I was using my waze and while I was driving and I stopped at a stop light. Waze asked me if I was stuck in traffic cause it noticed that I'm not moving and it doesn't let me say ithat im stuck at a red light.
    Thank you for your time.
