62 votesOn Android, iPhone and next versions of Symbian and WM, you can set a radius for alerts. Go to general settings.

Tarifs moyens des trajets
nous avons systématiquement plusieurs itinéraires possibles, parfois certains ayant un temps similaire voir identiques. Il pourrait être intéressant de mettre en avant les tarifs des péages ainsi parfois entre 2 trajets de 45 minutes entre le 1er faisant prendre 3 péage pour un total par exemple de 10€ et l'autre trajets avec un seul péage a 3€ cela évite des frais inutile. ou même parfois il est peut être intéressant de rallonger de 5 minute si cela évite un péage coûteux. Waze pourrait se servir des données que nous lui transmettons sur notre type de véhicule et carburant comme le…

send destination or itinerary from computer to phone
Hi! It would be nice to send itinerary or destination from a web brower on a computer directly to the Waze app. A Great way would be through the "share menu" extension built in OSX.

הערכת פקקים לפי שעה
ווייז יאגרו את המידע לגבי פקקים בצמתים וכבישים בכל הארץ (מה שככל הנראה כבר נעשה)
וישתמשו במידע הזה כדי לחזות פקקים עתידיים בשעות מסוימות.
הכוונה היא שאם עכשיו בוקר ואני מתכנן לצאת אחר הצהריים לכיוון עיר מסוימת אני אוכל כבר עכשיו לבדוק את הערכת הפקקים הממוצעת בשעות האלה בדרך שאני מתכנן לנסוע ולא רק בלייב של אותו הרגע.
כמובן שיש בלת״מים כגון תאונות וכו׳. אך עדיין זה יעזור רבות לשפר תכנון זמנים.61 votes -

Add option to stop scanning of reports when not moving.
Please add a possibility to stop scanning of reports when not moving. It can be annoying sometimes. I just want to observe surround streets while standing. And it also consumes additional traffic. Thank you.

Pause playback during audio alerts (for audiobooks)
Currently the Waze sounds turn the volume of whatever is playing the background down, causing me to miss words of audiobooks. Add an option for "Audiobook mode" to pause playback during Waze alerts/navigation voice.

Higher contrast roads in night mode
When driving at night, I can barely see thin grey roads against the black background. Meanwhile, as I pass roads that need to be verified (chomped), I see all the bright white dots. I'd prefer to have more emphasis on the roads I'm actually using. It's distracting, and distractions when driving, at night no less, are a bad idea!
I have an iPhone 5. Although I have not used waze on other devices, I would assume they have the same color scheme, and thus the same issue.
Alternatively, provide a means to customize the night color scheme like you can…

Express Lanes - Avoid Express Lanes option
A nice feature would be a setting to avoid Express Lanes, like the ones on I95 (I-95) that require the EZ-Pass. Currently the only way to do this is to enable "Avoid Toll Roads." However this makes my route avoid the tunnel or bridge that I DO want to use. Avoiding the tunnel or bridge would add 20 or more minutes to my drive.
Basically, separate out the luxury Express Lanes from toll roads and create another setting for them.
Thank you.49 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.

Waze calculates time to leave, sends reminder to leave, so I can be at "x" on time
Waze calculates what time I should leave and sends a notification (text, etc), based on current traffic and what time I would like to be at my final destination.
Example:
I have to pick up a friend at 5PM, but I am still at work. Waze sends me a note, predicting that I should leave by 4:25PM to arrive at my friend's location for approx 5PM.49 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Routing overview
I would like a routing overview option to easily access when driving for two reason:
1: For longer routes to see were I am in the country.
2: For shorter routes to have an overview of the traffic situations.This option could be a button directly on the map, maybe as an option to turn on/off from Settings or as an option in the pop up window where the mute, stop navigation, navigation list and recalculate route are.
48 votesPossibilities:
- check next turns list by clicking on the directions panel on the top, select ‘next turns’ tab
- check reports on the route by clicking on the directions panel on the top, select ‘reports ahead’ tab
- check map view of your route by clicking on ETA bar at the bottom, select ‘Routes’ and then ‘map view’ -
allow navigation voice to interrupt call
some people want this disabled, but i rely on navigation instructions in unknown areas.
i prefer waze voice amidst my phone call rather than fly by my exit while someone jabbers on my Bluetooth speakerphone
make it a toggle option to please both camps
and xmpp text those in my non "social" media friends (i have real friends)
allow audio blurbs to interrupt also (jingle)

Toll
I wish that there was a better way to handle toll roads. I live in an area surrounded by toll roads. It is cost prohibitive to use them all of the time. It is critically necessary to use them at other times. Unfortunately, you can have either of these situations several times in a single day. It is impractical to change the setting to avoid toll roads multiple times in a day. In my mind the best solution would be for us to have a user setting that determines when tollroads would be used. For example, if the routing knew…
47 votesWaze usually builds up to three route alternatives – it’s up to you to choose the one which fits you most (with or without tolls as well). To check route alternatives, tap ‘Routes’ after initial route was built – list view and map view is available.
