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!

Add a penalty to PR crossing an LS+ junction
Suggest adding a penalty to all PR segments that junction with an LS+ segment for continuation. That is, do not continue on to another PR segment unless necessary.
This would be helpful for alleyways in cities to force the user to an LS+ segment instead of continuing alleyway to alleyway.
Also useful for local-access only situations were we want to force a user off the PR segments ASAP. I can't think of any situations where this would be an issue as if the destination is on a subsequent PR segment, that would rule.

Remove street tags
It will be good to remove street names tags from the route, especially near turns . I did lost couple times just because I couldn't see where exactly I should turn because street name tag was exactly on my arrow.

An option to avoid minor / tertiary/ un named roads
Can we please have an option for routing not using minor roads. These are often narrow, unsurfaced, roads, dangerous tootor cyclists, risking damage to cars and larger vehicles. GPS nav should assist, not cause undue stress.

kate
Please, please, please, someone at Waze sort out the English UK Kate voice issue. Forget the new version, sounds clunky,synthetic and unnatural, just re-instate as before. It's downright distracting now while driving, will loook for an alternative app if this continues.

Disable this feature (with Police exposing) for Ukraine immediately
Dear Waze.
My name is Mykhailo. and i'm a QA lead from Ukraine in a similar product as you.
I've been using your app for years, which I'm thankful for.Today, in this dark age, our country use your app to get away from hot spots to west.
Although , the feature that expose Police spots helps russian's separatists escape.
PLEASE I'm begging you to disable (at least temporary) this feature (with Police exposing) for Ukraine immediately .16 votes -
WAZE as my vehicle advisor
I would like a feature to upload my car (type, make, year, model, etc.) and so could collect my daily mileage. Then WAZE (after xx miles) could alert me about changing my brakes, renew tires, oil, etc. as well presenting me promotions from near/path services that we all forget at the right time.
As well recommending new cars offers (same or alternative make) or insurances, accesories, detailing, etc.
A whole automotive world is there, and WAZE can be the best interface to interact with it.
You know my displacement, now you must know my car.16 votes -
Have a policy against hate-speech on editor community discord
A number of Northeast Editors including leadership have the caption "Let's Go Brandon" as their Discord status. The Waze community is not the place for these extremists who would use the platform to spew vile comments about the President of the United States. It should be a place where all are made to feel welcome. These individuals should certainly not have community leadership roles.

CarPlay Toll/Freeway Toggle
I find many times where I'd like to assess the difference between Toll vs Non-Toll or Freeway vs Non-Freeway routes, but there is no easy and safe way to do this while connected to Carplay. Offering a simple accessible toggle for these functions would be extremely valuable!

3 differents driver profil
Today, the user profile is not taking into account by the algorithm. I hope in the future Waze will propose, not only the fatest road, but the road adapted to the user.
We will use for example 3 different profiles :
- the busy driver : this will always proposes the fastest road but it will add more weights to highway where overtaking car is possible
- the thrifty driver : always proposing the road with the cheapest path (combination of distance, height difference, ...)
- the tourist driver: this will propose road with points of interest (monuments, landscape).I

Customisation for right hand drive cars
Would be great to allow right hand drive users to flip the speedo and report button so they appear on the right hand side of the screen and hence are easier to access when using Apple CarPlay.

libby
It would be great if the app worked with Libby or Overdrive apps, so that one could listen to audiobooks from the library while one drives.

Show distance of trajectory control zone
In portrait mode you can see how long the trajectory control still is but not in the landscape mode. I would like it if this would be added.

Providing an alternative route if vehicle dimensions don't match
Waze would be even more impressive if the dimensions of the vehicle could be added by the owner of the vehicle. Thus providing safety entering tunnels, small roads etc and more important providing an alternative route

Reporting road closures is a joke.
No matter how much you tap all over the screen you can't report a road closure. Also can't do it on the run and map is too convoluted. You should provide a comment box to type in or say the name of the road and nearest cross street where closure is. And you can do it at any time even after you stop driving or reach your destination. The road closure will still be closed.

Less verbose mode (few short instructions)
I would like to have a "less verbose mode" where the voice navigation would just say a few short instructions, like "turn right" for example, without all the verbose stuff like street names; or "speed trap", without all the useless words around it.
The reason is that sometimes I like to listen to music, or audiobooks, or having a conversation while driving, and I find that Waze verbosity is very annoying.16 votesWe plan to work on th Brief instructions Option in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.
