Less popups when starting a navigation
When starting a navigation, a pop up ask if I want to share my ride. That's not that annoying but I would like an option to disable it.
Im often starting a navigation from other apps, when the navigation is received by waze, it shows a first screen where I need to press on "received location". I click on it and then a second pop up telling me to share. And this is when waze dont pop to ask if I am a passenger. It sometime necessitie 3 press to start a drive. Google maps does it in 0 press…

You need another subheading in hazards
You should add "hitchhiker" under the hazard- roadside heading. I passed 3 today. One of whom was staggering along the roadside. And under hazards IN the road there should be slow driver.
I don't recall seeing that.3 votes -
Type of Route Options Preference settings
I frequently drive a route that gives me the option of taking a toll road or driving on the non-toll route or taking streets - but when I look at the routes available to me, I am not able to compare the time savings of taking the toll road vs the non toll version of the road. I am only able to see toll road, or a street option, or an alternate freeway option. I would really like to be able to see the difference in commute time if I jump in the HOT lane vs not paying toll and…

Remove social networking features
Not sure whey Waze felt it necessary to add all of the social networking features (I'm speaking of facebook and twitter here, not the shared information about traffic speeds and road hazards). I am not a big fan of facebook and don't care to share information that way. Waze used to be a great navigation app. I urge you to return to your home base. Leave facebook to facebook.

Change the color of the orange ride sharing icon to green once someone is actually sharing.
That little orange icon that let's you know that your ride is live is really small. The only way to tell if someone is actually following your ride is if the tiny 0 changes to the number of friends following. Could it change to green so that I just have to take my eyes off the road briefly to tell if I'm being shared?

Show Status Bar: Next gas station 5 miles on Route Kilometers
An idea.
Problem: I am on a trip from 800 kilometers with the route defined and must supply the vehicle in the middle of the route must go into settings and check for Waze fuel stations near which usually makes me out of route.
Solution: The Waze could show on the main screen a status bar stating "the next gas station 5 km, 3 km" which is on the route "always updating this status when we passed the gas station, or even show the price of fuel preferred the next 3 posts so I can choose whether it is better…

Ghost munching
Halloween ghost hunting could be fun if there were more ghosts out there. We go riding, looking for ghosts, and they just aren't there. Just a fun family activity after dinner.

Send location to others should default to user preferences. Such as always SMS
The option now adds extra steps for users. Most users always use text so why pull up all options available to share location?

Find my bus
I spend too much time waiting for a bus. I would love to know where it is. While I am on a bus I would click on the "on bus" button and I would type in my bus number. Now other users could know exactly where my bus is.

Automatic Multiple Stop Route Optimization
Lets say I want to stop by 8 tourist locations in Washington, DC but because I am new to the area I will have no idea how to route myself optimally....so it would be awesome if I could just put in the location addresses or names and have WAZE optimize my stops to be most efficient and effective.
Now that would be an awesome travel tool! Heck it might even work for pizza delivery guys too! ;)
21 votesThank you for this suggestion.
This idea has been being discussed for a while and recognized as an important user request.
We hear the community’s voice and would like to share that while we can’t currently commit to a timeline, we do have plans to create a way to add more than one stop pre-drive.
We’ll keep the community posted, please stay tuned! -
Set location of a "Report" for where you press the Icon that displays the reports instead of setting it where you are when you select send
I like to participate in Waze to help others as they've helped me, but often don't see things to report until I'm already on top of it. (i.e. speed trap, hazard, etc.) I've found that the location based on my selection is placed far further on the map from the actual occurrence by time I select the remaining options and hit "Send". As the last thing I want to be doing while traffic is maneuvering and breaking is seeing which additional selections need to be made to make sure I select correctly, it would be nice if selecting the "Report"…

add friend by username
I would like to add friends by their waze username. As a long time adapter of waze, I always found it odd that I couldn't add friends by username. WIth social media being so open, there are still users who feel waze does not need to know their phone number and shares the drive just fine through email and text messages. It is unfair to only allow people to connect by giving up personal information or using social media. A person's location is private information and should be allowed a more private way to share it if needed.

Pop-ups on top of pop-ups
Sometimes, especially during rush hour, I receive several pop-ups in a short period of time but when I clear the visible pop-up, thumbs up or not there, the previous pop-ups disappear. All pop-ups received should remain until either cleared or they time-out.
