  1. Allow routing to avoid defined zones on map (bad neighborhoods, long term construction, etc)

    Lots of people have suggested that Waze have an option to avoid "bad neighborhoods" or other areas for other reasons, but I understand that it would be very difficult for Waze to do that automatically. For a given city, you usually have to be a local resident to know that you should avoid a certain area in your daily commute.

    So, give each user the option to define avoidance zones in our apps. That way, Waze is not responsible for making that determination, the individual users do it. It could be just a simple polygon drawing function, with a checkbox…

  2. Bring back the report list on iOS!!

    Please bring back the list of reports on iOS!!! I used to use that option all of the time, to decide which route I was going to take or see what I needed to watch out for, before I set out. Now I can only see what's going on when i set a route in the car to leave, which defeats my purpose of analyzing which way to go. I like to do this before i set out. Not the last second as I'm ready to drive. I use waze to travel long distances and I can't get a good…

  5. Synchronize points and levels across all Waze servers

    Perhaps most Wazers won't realize this until they go on vacation but points earned in another country may not be added to your profile when you return home. Say you live in the UK and you go on a road trip in the US. When you run Waze for the first time in the US you will have zero points, and you will be relegated back to a baby Wazer. And nothing you earn while on that trip will be added to your profile back in the UK. This is a real dis-incentive to participate in sharing information. Please find…

  6. Police Car in the middle

    On the open interstate highways in the USA the State Highway Patrol sit in the middle but I don't know which direction the police is shooting. If there is a "middle" option, it would alert Waze users of either direction. Not only one side of the highway

  7. Configurable sound outputs in Android App

    Currently, the Android App is working in an unsatisfying way:

    In the Settings menu, under Sound, I've enabled the option to play sounds using the phone's speaker.
    When I plug in my earphones in my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S6) I expect all sound to be diverted to the earphones, not being played in the public speaker.

    Waze does not behave like this. It plays the sound in the speaker regardless of the cable.

    My request is to let the user configure, in detail, where the sound should go.

    Output sound to:
    [ ] Speaker/headphones
    ( ) Speaker OR headphones…

  8. restrictions on canceling reports

    It's obvious that photo radar van operators and police are using Waze. I have driven by a PR van, reported it, and on my way back the report will be gone but the PR van will still be there (someone reported it as "not there"). There should be a "not there" safeguard in place, where depending on your rank on the scoreboard, so many reports of not being there need to be filed before it gets removed from the map, and a "Thanks!" report cancels out a "not there" report.

    For example: I am a Knight, so either a Knight/King…

  9. Audible alert needed to detour

    Detour alerts need to be spoken; when driving we cannot always stop & read the alert until it is too late & are stuck in stopped traffic.

  10. Folder for voices

    When you download a voice, it goes to a folder (or even a 2nd app that is a storage/management for voices.) The option to keep voices should happen. I need Gronk back!

    There is nothing worse than finding a voice with a tone that isn't obnoxious. When you do, it is gone a week later. Not to mention, when the new featured voices are also annoying people that you don't want talking to you. (I don't want Jay Leno in my car.)

  11. Navigation to area instead of address ניווט לאיזור במקום לכתובת ספציפית

    Driving to an address to find nearby parking? Going to drop a passenger somewhere?

    When navigating to a specific address (current option) you won't always get the shortest way. For example the house you want to get to is just across the street from you- wayz can take navigate you to a U turn or worse.
    My suggestion- add on option "drive to area"- you put an address and radius (or make few radius options) and wayz will create the fastest way to that radius.

  12. Voice guidance only sound option

    Allow users to disable alert sounds, but keep guidance instructions.

    I like voice guidance, especially when waze directs me to do something weird in an unfamiliar area to avoid traffic.

    I find all alert notifications extremely annoying, and do not use the app for that purpose. It would be nice to be able to disable the annoying sounds and keep the useful ones turned on.

  13. Having a paid version

    I would like a version with better graphics and more details like the image of the road sign and auto zoom when approaching an exit.
    For this I bought Sygic. For day to day traffic I use Waze but when going to an unknown area I have to use Sygic

  14. next service station - distance/time

    On a long drive it'd be handy to be able to see:-

    "Service station 1 - 3miles/5mins"
    "Service station 2 - 45miles/38minutes"

    May be considered  ·  AdminTrina (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

    Hey, 


    Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.

    We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

    Thanks!

  15. שיפור בתוכנה

    כאשר המערכת נותנת התראה על מכמונת מהירות אפשר להוסיף את המהירות המותרת בכל מקטע.
    בכלל היה עוזר אם היה אפשרות לדעת מה המהירות המותרת בכל מקום שנוהגים.
    לדעתי זה יכול לתרום להורדה במספר תאונות הדרכים.

    Please add the destination address to the flag pin when you have reached your final destination. Thiswill help tremendously when you are going to a new address. Thanks!

  17. Allow me to delete the hazard "Vehicle stopped on shoulder" without deleting all hazards

    You need to be able to split which road hazards you want or don't want. I would kill to be able to stop being told about a vehicle on the shoulder but still be able to know about other hazards. Seriously, if the vehicle is on the shoulder it isn't a hazard.

  18. Navigation: option to avoid cobblestone, brick streets. This would be very appreciated by car drivers, motorcyclists. Android user.

    I hate it when I get navigated down a cobblestone or brick street. You have to crawl along so your teeth don't fall out. I'd rather take a longer route than drive over these streets here in Seattle.

    I would like to give some suggestions that may be useful to users in my country (Brazil) as well as users from other countries, follow:

  20. Holiday feature to place report pins on awesome residential holiday light displays.

    We took our child out last night trying to find great holiday light displays. We founds some good ones but crowd sourcing great displays would be awesome. Especially if the more people tagged a display the more prominent it would appear in Waze.
