Hide work line on favorites list
I work from home, so I have an empty "work" slot taking up space in my favorites. It does no good, so it's just a wasted spot that could be better used with a different favorite.

Custom Road Hazard tags
Allow for custom Road Hazard labels. The current selection is quite general, but it would be nice to have the ability to pre-create custom hazard tags for those times when adding a description isn't possible.

Aggregated traffic/report data to see Trends!
Online or in the app, provide a feature to show aggregated data. This will allow us to see all reports for say, the past month, in our area. We can spot areas that have traffic on a recurring basis, places with repeat police reports.

Color Coding for "Traffic" Reports Indication
To Use different Color Codes for :
"Moderate" - "Yellow" Color
"Heavy" - "Orange" Color
"Standstill" - "Red" ColorThis will indirectly help us to minimize our attention to the Screen without touch the Icon for Status of that Traffic in that location. It is good to Ease of Reference as Currently, I need to Press on that Icon Everything while on the move which is quite dangerous sometimes.20 votes -
Announcements depending on speed
I recommend that Waze adjust the "trigger distance" for pre-alerts when traveling quickly.
For example, currently Waze pre-alerts "In one-tenth of a mile ..." regardless of speed.
If you are driving 60 MPH, you cover the one-tenth of a mile in a mere 6-seconds ... by that time, Waze is already alerting you (AGAIN) that it's time to make the turn.
I'm all for voice alerts ... but when the app gabs for 10-seconds straight because of back-to-back announcements, eh....

Show direction that other wazers are travelling on the navigation map
When viewing the navigation map, what if you showed a little arrow indicating the direction that the other wazers on the map are traveling? I can't tell if the wazer ahead of me is traveling the same direction as me and I am just catching up to them or they are on the other side of the road driving towards me. You could put a little black direction arrow in their icon.

Roam free in parking lot
If a parking lot is marked as a landmark in WME, let the client roam freely within the area without 'snapping' to the nearest road. The advantage is that your location relative to entry/exit can be seen and the screen doesn't jump all over the place trying to guess which lane/road you are nearest.

Give option to specifically show nearest "pac-man" roads, if we want to do extra munching and not have to search for them.
There are times when I might have a few extra minutes, not in a rush, and wouldn't mind doing some munching for extra points (and to help your maps). Would be cool if there was an option for something like that (e.g. "show nearby munching roads" or "show munching roads in red/highlight them"). Thanks for reading!

support alternative partitions: EXT, UDF (motivate SD Alliance policy change)
The risk of sdio / Sdcard corruption radically increases with respect to capacity (>16gigs).
SD association foolishly continues to mandate fat32 instead of defaulting/allowing EXT2 - EXT4 or newer.
relying on binary mysticism instead of publishing formatting parameters for command line
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
Yes, many leveling algorithms CURRENTLY geared for FAT32 but it would be mind numbingly simple to add both UDF- and EXT capacity to support reformatting/repartitioning ... or support for various file systems / volumes.
Take a moment to request support for at least both UDF- and EXT

It would be nice to have a way to force the voice navigation to speak the current location and/or the next turn at any arbitrary point.
That way, if you're on a long road with no turns for a while you can get a reminder of how far to the next turn and what it is. Might also be nice if it could somehow tell you where you are at the moment, e.g., "Heading north on I-495 in Westford"

Toll roads alert
A great feature would be the possibility to keep toll roads enabled but receive an alert when a route includes that kind of road (toll road)

Abbreviations
use abbreviations for hazzards B (breakdown recovery), T (Tire Debris) R (Road works) F (Fog) etc
Also for Police Alert, in MA police are required for road works so it is not a speed trap1 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.

Please give me back my LONG PRESS SEARCH BUTTON on Android
I use a voice assistant that is activated by a Long Press of my Seach Button. When Waze is active that button is not available (it opens up a Waze Menu). Anyway to deactivate that so I can use my Virtual Assistant while Waze is active?

Adding addresses needs to be user friendly
When adding an address to "Favorites" it's almost impossible. Once you type in the address, there is not "Add" button only "Back and "Close". I tried to follow the instructions it says to touch to add and I add the address and nothing happens. Impossible to add "Home" or "Work". Frustrated.

iOS app does not remember Prompts Volume state (though the slider remembers its position)
The volume of the voice navigation always reverts back to full volume, though the slider for the Prompts Volume setting remains in the state I left it at

Have more categories for landmarks.
One example is Golf Course (and it would be great if it is shows up as green on the maps)
Another is Construction Zone. Users can identify construction zone in the map editor to warn other user (especially those who are not familiar to the area) of potential heavy vehicles entering and exiting the construction site (a more permanent thing instead of having to report it daily)

More comprehensive directions
Waze should be able to give more detailed and frequent directions, perhaps as a selectable option (e.g. regular "keep left/right and go straight for the next __ metres" reminders, or more frequent "turn left in __ metres" instructions every 50m rather than 100m/200m).
In one experience, the road I was travelling on split to two separate but parallel lanes, and because Waze didn't mention anything I ended up taking the wrong path. A more frequent reminder to keep left/right would have avoided this.
tl;dr make Waze more talkative.
