  1. Add menu option to view and edit submitted map issue reports

    Feature Suggestion: Enable Users to View and Edit Their Submitted Map Issue Reports

    Description:

    As a frequent Waze user, I often report map issues through the app. However, after submitting a report, there’s no way to view its status or details, or make any updates.

    Suggested Feature:

    It would be helpful to introduce a feature that allows users to:

    View Submitted Reports: Access a list of all reported issues with details like the submission date and type of issue.

    Check Status: See if the report is pending, in progress, or resolved, along with any feedback from Waze.

    Hey, 


    Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.

    We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

    Thanks!



  2. Remove 'Reported map issue' from UR description

    This auto generated "Reported map issue" text in the description field isn't adding much value.

    In fact that field is supposed to be extra info from the user..

  3. Make UR emails replyable

    Like right now there's a couple of reporters that reply to the emails instead of clicking on the links. Would it be possible to create a certain email wildcard that posts what they say in the email onto WME? I've seen this done with other businesses so I don't know why Waze can't do it. For the meantime at least add a banner at the top of the email body stating it's a no reply email and to use the links provided instead.

  5. New instructions for crossroad junctions/interchange

    In the UK, there has been an ongoing debate on the most effective way to map crossroad junctions where drivers have to cross a main road without priority, as shown in this image:
    https://imgur.com/bpKJi9R

    The default instructions do not include guidance for routes that go straight, leading to URs for missing instructions even when no turns are required. As there's no instruction, the driver may not realise they have to give way/stop, leading to a potential accident.

    If we were to add a "Continue" instruction, it may imply priority, which is not the case, and again, this may lead to…

  6. Let to use keyboard (as passanger) on Android Auto

    As a user, I would like to have with Android Auto the same option as with Apple CarPlay to use the keyboard as a passenger.

    Currently, while I'm driving with family f.e. on a highway in my country it's illegal to stop on the side of the road. So I'm not able to enter the destination address while in motion. My wife as a passenger has to plug out my phone from USB and enter it manually and plug it in again. It's just plain stupid. It's not even a security option if I have to use my phone to…

  7. Ask for rating and feedback at the end of journeys like Google Maps does

    After finishing each journey, there should be a prompt to rate the journey in the scale of sad faces or smiley faces like Google Maps does at the end of journeys.

    Far too many times Waze re-routes to save a few minutes but takes you down through the tightest narrowest roads possible.

    In London, UK roads can either be a breeze or they can be like driving through a maze with all the small tight roads meant for one way traffic but is actually used for two way traffic.

    Then please implement the feedback and ratings to show routes where…

  8. Sloping / inclined streets

    In Latam and some other cities I have known, there are streets with inclines of more than 15° and some vehicles cannot drive up these roads due to several factors.

    1) low power vehicles
    2) Motorcycles
    3) climatic factors that prevent the vehicle to go up this road.
    4) vehicles parked on the sides that prevent other vehicles from passing.

    It would be interesting to make waze as well as avoid freeway roads we can add the inclination and avoid it.

  11. Waze and EZPass rewards!

    I get frequent emails from EZPass that have my statements for the amount of money that has been charged to my card for passing through tolls.

    I drive through two tolls each day, and these rack up quite quickly, and can be a little bit of a burden on the wallet.

    What I thought would be a great idea is if Waze and EZPass connected somehow and offered some sort of reward where if you go through a certain number of tolls while using the Waze app, you get a free toll paid for by them.

    Even just one of…

  12. Knowing the direction of the closure

    Hi>
    Why isn't the closure displayed in the app the same way it is on the Waze map editor?
    We often encounter misleading reports where users believe the entire street is closed.
    I believe it would be beneficial to add small arrows to the traffic closure, similar to those in the map editor, to indicate the direction of the closure.

    thanks!

  13. Creating option in settings to 'Allow U-turns when available'

    Currently in the UK, the Waze app will not suggest a u-turn when it is legal and available, and instead it will reroute you in big, difficult, time-wasting loops. It usually happens when you make a wrong turn or are in a rural area. A simple U-turn can save lots of time and frustration but Waze suggests 10+ minute detours instead. Very frustrating and something the user should have power over, given that the country (The UK in this case) allows u-turns on its roads except when specifically prohibited.

  14. Allow longer time to report road closure.

    When I come upon a road closure, I need to avoid emergency vehicles and workers, and be careful of other traffic. Once I get clear of the incident, I try to report it. But by that time, Waze won't let me select the intersection where the problem was. It seems that you must be in the immediate are of the road to report an issue. This often means that I am unable to report road closure issues when I encounter them. Waze should allow a longer time to report closures. (Why is there any limit at all? I may feel…

  15. Adding the option for a visual timer

    It would be so helpful to have an integrated visual timer on the map. My child has a disability and visuals are so important to our daily life. I find myself toggling back and forth when using navigation and it can be difficult to manually adjust the time when there’s traffic or other delays. Having an integrated visual timer would be so helpful to families like ours!

  16. police

    Please reinstate the "Police on Other Side" feature. Reporting speed traps is the most useful reason to report police, and traffic moving in opposite direction will always be better suited to identify and report.

  18. "Avoid" option for single track roads with passing places

    When travelling in Devon, Cornwall or anywhere where there is a lot of unspoiled countryside, I suggest Waze make available an option in the Navigation Settings to "AVOID" Single Track Roads With Passing Places.

  20. Remove driving directions

    This is for the WEB version.
    I'm trying to view the traffic in my local area, but the Web version insists on occupying the top left corner of the screen, with no option to remove it!
    Why??

    Yes I may want to look at route options, but am much more likely to use the mobile version.
    Please can you put an [x] option in the Driving Direction box so I can see the entire area.
