Automatically switch off 'Record new road' feature
As an area manager, it is a headache to keep deleting small segments of road alongside existing roads, caused by GPS inaccuracies where a user has left the 'record new road' feature switched on. I think it would be a good idea to have the client automatically switch off the feature if the user has been travelling on an existing road for a set period of time, for example, 2 minutes.

Count TURNS, not distance to the next turn
when people give directions to each other, naturally they will say 'on the 2nd turn, take a right turn'.
We are better at counting turns, than meters or miles...
if Waze could do the same, instead of 'in 500m turn right', it would be great202 votes -

Remove permanent "where to" and "my Waze" fields when phone is horizontal.
I use Waze with my phone in a horizontal/landscape position. All is good if I set a location target and use Waze to guide me to it. But I sometimes I like to see the traffick volume without setting a destination. In this mode, Waze takes up a third of my map display with the "where to" and "my Waze" fields. I should be able to turn those off or they should auto disappear.

Distance units
The Waze client appears to use three types of unit for distance reporting, miles, decimal fractions of miles and feet.
In the UK we generally use two units for road distance, miles and yards. We do not measure road distance in feet, I measure the size of my bedroom in feet but not the length of my road.
Also "point one miles" doesn't mean a lot to me or many other people I'd imagine, not to mention that it is shockingly poor grammar.
Please can we have a UK units option, that supports miles, half a mile and yards. Thank…

Calculate the best route based on both shorter time and distance. Not just one of them.
I prefer the fastest way, but only when it is reasonable.
I can never trust the option automatically suggested for me and I always find myself checking the routes. In many cases I switch to the second option.
For example:
Option 1: 49 minutes, 58 Km
Option 2: 50 minutes, 47 Km
I would rather spend 2% more time than spend 21% more fuel...Most people would prefer spending another minute in this case. Why do we always have to bother going to the routes to find out.
The user can select his preference for either shortest or fastest way…

Multiple vehicles
A quick way to toggle settings between two or more vehicles. When I drive my truck I use the expressways, I use alerts only, and diesel is preferred. When I ride my motorcycle I don't use expressways, I turn on navigation since my phone stays in my pocket, and premium gas is preferred. A way to save particular settings when toggling between private and motorcycle would be appreciated.

Matt Berry Voice Navigation
Matt Berry Voice Navigation
Esteemed actor, musician, performer, and artist, Matt Berry, would make a stupendous addition to the Waze program and community. With a confident, sultry, and seductive presence, Matt Berry would guide thousands of drivers to their destinations in the comfort of his soothing, tenor voice.
We, the people, recognize that Matt Berry is busy with his numerous endeavors and that Waze has countless features they strive to add to an already vigorous navigation system. It is with this in mind that we humbly suggest a few lines pulled from his revered catalog of work along with new…

Add option to avoid low bridges based on vehicle height.
Low bridges need to be avoided. Need an option to route based on avoiding low bridges. Vehicle height or minimum bridge height could be used to route.

Route away from schools at pickup & dropoff time
We've been noticing an increasing amount of Waze traffic near our local elementary school. It is dangerous for the kids who are biking to school (and not yet as reliable as adults) -- we have had three kids hit by cars in our small city so far this year. And I'm sure it is annoying for drivers -- we've seen a lot of folks swerving around slow cars etc.
I would love to be able to tell Waze the pickup and dropoff windows for our school, and have it automatically route away from the school (and ideally nearby streets).
Maybe…

Waze Support for the Parrot Asteroid
The Parrot Asteroid is a great car stereo based on android, however the unique nature of the device limits it's online apps to those that specifically support it. Currently the Asteroid has no turn by turn navigation. Waze's powerful mapping and reporting features would greatly benefit users of the Parrot Asteroid and raise awareness for both Parrot and Waze.

"Open in Waze" - modify the Waze code so a user can click and hold on an address and be given the option to "Open in Waze" for navigation.
"Open in Waze" (or "Navigate to in Waze") would merely allow the user to click and hold on an address in their phone and be given the option to open the address within Waze itself.
A user currently can open an attachment in an email in numerous different downloadable programs. The same is true for address which currently default to the Maps app. It would be nice to see the same integration with Waze.
Then, whenever a person receives a text, email, or other message with an address within it, the user would be able to click and hold on…

Waze API
Unsure in which forum this falls, but the idea is to have an API which developers could use to use Waze information on their websites or apps.

carpool match
I would like to use Waze to match me with carpool buddies. Waze has a large community of active users, already knows my origin and destination as well as time of day that I leave for and from work. It also has all this information for people in the neighborhood.
If Wazers can indicate if they are open to carpooling, then Waze can help connect them.
There are some apps like Avego that try to help, but because they have such few users, they aren't useful.
Would you prefer to carpool if you could ?

Please put in place a repeat command/direction.
Directions/commands are sometimes hard to hear or missed. A repeat function is essential and absolutely necessary!
Thank you.

Enhance speed display color scheme
It would be easier to assess speed with more informative color coding:
White = below speed limit
Green = speed limit
Yellow = between speed limit and user-defined "when to show alert" speed
Red = exceeding user-defined "when to show alert" speedKeep current warning with briefly displayed larger speed limit reminder
Great app, thank you!
