A motorcycle-mode that offers courses with turns in place of major roads

voice regonition
It could be nice if the app had built it vocal recognition. Instead of looking your screen to report an incident, for exemple, you could say: "ok waze report an object on the road". It would be much safer and the accuracy of the incident on the road would be better because this method would be quicker that reporting on your phone while driving.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! Waze will soon support Google Assistance voice control. To know more about this feature, stay tuned on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram.

GF and I carpool... why isn't there a feature to allow my route time to be aware of carpool lane routes?!
Why isn't there a feature to allow my route time to be aware of carpool lane routes?
My ETA is always off because of this.
It would be nice to actually have the app tell me the actual time it will take to get somewhere.
Thanks!

Add a button to click if you are carpooling, so we can find the route
Add a button to click if we are carpooling, so we can find the fastest route. A lot of times Waze sends me on one freeway when another freeway would have been faster using the carpool lane.

Stop keeping the GPS on at all time
Stop keeping the GPS on at all times you're killing my battery and data. No other app is using the GPS at all times constantly except you. This is ridiculous and I'm thinking about deleting the app and switching to Google Maps. Please provide a solution or a fix to this giant issue.
1 voteTurn your location permissions to ‘While in use’. This should fix the issue.

Partial fix for website and Live Map
Your site would work a lot better if when you click Live Map, it did not try to show you the WHOLE USA! Either have it open to a .jpg/.png or nothing. Then ask for a zip code or region. It is simply too much for the servers to handle. On zooming in, it is still too much and it will not let you continue to zoom in until the page loads.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, a live map is available as a web version, which you can use to see real time traffic reports. Search for Waze live map.

Get directions from Map Coordinates
Hi,
My name is Adrian Șulumberchean and I am the developer of Map Coordinates Android App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sands.mapCoordinates.android&referrer=utm_source%3Dwaze_suggestion). Inside Map Coordinates, I used a "Get Directions" option which takes the user to a third party navigation app and navigates him to the chosen location.
At the moment I use this url to open Google Maps Navigation: "http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=&daddr=45.1234,25.1234". Can you please also accept this url so that users will be able to navigate with any app they want?
Kind regards,
Adrian Şulumberchean

Improve routing.
Sometimes just because it shows a "faster" route, it doesn't necessarily mean it's safer. When using the app while driving with a ridesharing companies, is very important the routes takes you to traffic lights instead of cut corners through back roads that might lead you to either cross a heavy trafficking road or having to make a turn on a trafficking road/ intersection. Customers don't enjoy that too much because not only it's not that safe but also for them, it doesn't seem to be any "faster". Also while you at it, please make the navigation response much faster; it…
1 vote“Avoid difficult intersections” option is available in Navigation settings. Should ease the issue if not eliminate it.

Can you PLEASE, add a "While Using App" option
If you could please enable the option to set the location services to "While Using App"
It benefits the user by not needing to actively remember to disable the location services constantly after each trip.
Thus causing it to become a nuisance and development frustration when the app ends up using a chunk of battery during the expedition of each trip. And also when no one is accessing the app, but it's still using data and power either way.
Majority of users have talked about this through other similar posts yet we have seen no such update that has included…1 vote
