View map on mobile to select point on map, law enforcement
Similar to Google Maps interface, in which I can pin a point on the mobile app and start navigation on Android Auto. I frequently use Waze to safely navigate to reported accidents, debris and disabled vehicles. Waze reports are significantly more location-accurate than my dispatcher saying "Respond to the area of Exit 45 for a crash." Before the last update, I could force stop Waze on my phone, reopen the app to the map, pin a location next to the incident and start navigation, then reopen the app on Android Auto to navigate. With the latest update, I can no…

Fix map correction submissions
When reporting map corrections currently, the map does not default to your current location, nor does it provide a current location button.
Corrections should be a context menu selection on the main map by long press and select via the burger menu

toll booth alert off switch
Ability to turn off Toll Booth alert
99.9% of the time, I am driving the same roads as I'm sure most users are. That means I know where the toll booths are. In my area, they aren't booths, just cameras. The lanes don't get narrow or slow down. There are good signs that toll cameras are ahead. The alert from Waze is just a nuisance and there is no option to turn it off like all of the other alert types.

Builings outine
It would be way easier to find someone's house or certain building that you are driving to if it was shown on the map. I think it's a quality of life improvement that would help many use Waze as their main navigation app

display current location data to report break down location for tow truck
Myself and a few freinds over the years have been stuck and had to give a location to get help to a third party. None of us could find a "I'm here" feature to tell say a tow truck how to find us. Such as "Mile marker 123 Rt 78 Clinton NJ". It's frustrating to have trouble telling help where you are especially at night. Something like an information button to give the info.

To be able to add house numbers with a slash!
Should be able to write unit numbers when searching for an address i.e. '1/23 Fake Street'.
Currently, Waze doesn't acknowledge the unit number and will show up with only '23 Fake Street'.
Need to be able to make a search for a destination of a house with a different unit number which might be a few houses down from where Waze ends up directing you to. (if all the units are in a row on the street)2 votes -
Reroute should say if due to accident
We were driving on the interstate when Waze started suggesting faster routes which didn’t make sense. Had Waze warned “Accident ahead causing .. minute/ hour delay” I would’ve taken notice instead of wondering why Waze was suggesting I get off the normally fastest route.

Suggestion for New Waze Feature - Avoid Bad Roads
Hey Waze Community,
I've got an idea for a feature that could make our driving experience even better, especially for those of us dealing with bumpy roads in the north.
How about a "Avoid Bad Roads" option on Waze? Our roads often get rough due to changing seasons, and it takes a while for the city to fix them. With Google's advanced sensing capabilities, why not use that data to detect road conditions like bumps and potholes?
This feature could help us choose routes that prioritize smoother rides. Additionally, we could have a city-specific ranking system highlighting the worst road…

Eliminate country lanes as an option for routing would be great in the UK as these roads are often single lane and dangerous to drive. All to save a minute from the main roads!

Do not lower or duck music volume whenever there is an announcement or prompt from Waze
Audio ducking or lowering music when Waze is making an announcement/voice prompt is freaking horrible.
Absolutely hate this forced feature as there is no way to disable it. It just spoils the whole driving and music experience.
Have separate volume adjustments for the background music app and Waze navigation volume. Or a toggle to disable/enable the ducking feature. So that music won't be forcefully lowered whenever there is a prompt or announcement.

Store Map Issues Until they can be reported.
In Rural Areas of the US but not only US cell data coverage sometimes can be problematic and connection may go in and out. When the user attempts to report a map issue the report can be filled out but submission goes to an error message: "Something Went Wrong" and the report and the information is lost.
This can create problems with issues reported in Rural Areas where there is definite evidence of use of Waze but very few reports even though there are missing roads or missing pieces of data for the existing roads.
As a suggestion Waze should:

Variable Speed Limit Camera Audio Cues
Hi, based in the UK here.
When a user drives in a variable speed limit zone on a motorway in the UK, Waze thinks the speed limit is 70 mph all the time when in fact the speed limits can be changed from anywhere between 20 mph and 70 mph.
These variable speed limit zones have several speed cameras that can detect speeding for a variety of speed limits.
When navigating on Waze, when approaching a speed camera the audio cue for alerting to speed cameras does not play when driving within the speed limit shown in Waze, only when…
