  1. Pin Music Player

    It would be nice if you could pin the music player so that way alerts doesn’t close it all the way out.

  2. Waze for new drivers (permits, junior licenses)

    In some states (like NY), you are not allowed to drive on certain roads or bridges with a driver's permit. For example, there are several parkways and most of the bridges and tunnels in/out of NYC except the GWB and Lincoln Tunnel. And in NYC, you cannot drive on roads in a park. It would be great if there was an option to select navigation that avoided these particular restricted roads.

  3. recycling Feature

    Dear Waze, I am a sixth grader at Spring Creek Elementary in Dallas, Texas. My robotics team and I are working on our project for the First Lego League City Shaper season. The goal of the project this season is to somehow improve our city. We are acknowledging that the world is having a hard time recycling. Would you help our cause and consider adding a special feature on Waze or Google Maps that shows where recycling bins owned by stores and other buildings that have signed up to have their recycling bin available to the public. Recycling is important since…

    Remove the wait time for the Go Now. If you miss an exit looking at that for a few seconds it can be dangerous

  5. Report Traffic lights in Android Auto

    The button to report faulty traffic lights is already in the mobile version of the app. Can we please get it ported over to the Android Auto version? At any point in time at least 30% of South Africa's traffic lights don't work and it would help many users if a few of us could report from our car displays.

  6. Stop Route Changes Automatically

    When I choose one of the 3 route options DON’T change it just because I take a different road along the way. As long as I am still able to get to the chosen route don’t change to a new one automatically. People know the advantages of roads local to their starting point. There is no need to override those choices.

  8. Adding report options "Oil Trace" and "Lane Closed" for Germany

    I've seen that in Hungary there's the option to report at least a Closed Lane. This is also relevant for Germany. For example a closed lane on a relatively well known route of a driver could be dangerous. He's expecting a certain amount of lanes but doesn't know the newest conditions on road.
    So please enable this option for drivers in Germany.

    The "Oil Trace" report could be helpful as well. Often such reports are mentioned in the radio. It would be a step forward to more safety in Germany and the rest of the world to add this kind…

  9. Rain mode / mode pluie

    Bonjour
    Je suggère une amélioration pour waze.

    Un mode pluie !
    Je m'explique
    La législation est claire (OK surtout en France je ne sais pas chez nos voisins européens ou même outre atlantique) avec un abaissement de la vitesse de 20kmh sur autoroute limitée à 130 et de 10km sur rocades ou autoroutes limitées à 110.

    Le développement d'un mode pluie avec un "bouton" pluie sur l'affichage principal du guidage ainsi qu'un e suggestion de passer en mode pluie si des alertes météo sont détectées dans le secteur traversé pourraient ajuster le temps de parcours à la réalité du terrain.

  10. Put the speedometer back to black numberson a white background.

    Why can't you people leave a good thing alone. I don't need you to tell me what the speed limit is. Making the display black on red is too hard to read, day or night. I know how fast I'm going. I hate Waze now.
    SIMPLICITY PLEASE.

  11. show song playing while navigating using Android Auto

    While using Waze on android Auto I would like to see what is currently playing, when using spotify or even on infotainment (Radio, XM, Ect.) There is a nice open spot at the top of the screen that could be used to display this info. I know that there is a quick popup when i change songs but would like the ability to display permanently.

  12. Multi-day future planned routes + Weather condition integration & notifications coinciding with future route planning

    It would be helpful if Waze allowed for planned routes that are regularly occurring to be set e.g. (Mon-Fri 8am-5pm). As well as a notification if there are any weather conditions that may affect that planned commute. If so, a general recommendation of what time to leave to allow for possible traffic build up in order to arrive on time. Essentially it would require weather integration, possibly AccuWeather.

  14. Add a "hazard" or lone category to report panhandling

    Can we add a feature to report panhandling at corners to other drivers? There are a ton of aggressive panhandlers and reporting them will allow people to take precautions because I've seen many lash out at drivers who do not give.

  15. prioritize search results in the direction of travel.

    When traveling long road trips, it there some way to prioritize searches only in the direction of travel? In the current setup When looking for restaurants, or shopping, it never fails, Waze is constantly trying to send me backwards 5, 10 or 20 miles behind me to get to something, I would prefer to have it only look ahead, even if its 40 or 50 miles ahead of me along my travel route, and not have to turn around and go back 10 miles for a business. Or at least give me the option to prioritize the business ahead of…

  16. message car to car

    It would be useful to add the possibility to send a message to another car using the car license plate number
    This is useful when a car has a taillight out of order or when you forget the back foglamps on.
    In any case in all situations in which you want to warn a car of a potential danger.
    Naturally, the message is only received even if the target car has the active waze application.
    What do you think?

  18. Accident Tracking - High Risk Areas

    Use reports by fellow Wazers to track and show areas on the map where multiple accidents have been reported so as to indicate them as "high risk areas" where drivers should be extra cautious. There are a variety of reasons that accidents and wrecks occur but after tracking them for some time, trends could easily be seen and indicated on any device.
