Lane Guidance
While using Waze on highways lately, I have begun to think that having the ability to see what lane becomes the off ramp would be great, especially in complex city interchanges.
Portuguese: Estava usando o Waze em rodovias e comecei a pensar que seria ótimo ter a capacidade de ver qual pista pegar, especialmente em trevos complexos dentro das cidades.
Spanish: Últimamente me he dado cuenta que al utilizar waze en capitales se hace muy necesario que waze indique cual carril de una calle, avenida o autopista, llega a ser una rampa, especialmente en complejos intercambios.

Great news! The Lane Guidance feature is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

There is a problem: civilian GPS is deliberately limited in accuracy. As it is, Waze must guess which of several parallel roads you might be on, based on the directions it has given you.
It assumes you followed the given directions. If you didn't, it doesn't know until you get about half a block away from the given route or turn in a direction that would be impossible if you were 'on course'.
Yes, it would be nice if each lane was mapped and Waze directed you accordingly, however it is not currently possible because of the limitations designed into civilian GPS. -

It will be very useful in my country too. we have a lot of complex interchanges here.

This would be great! A "Merge Left" and "Merge Right" might also help to prompt you into the correct turning lane. I have an old Sony GPS unit that had this verbal "merge" commands and miss them...

Google (your parent company) has this is Google Maps. Why not Waze?

Lane suggestions and a animation suggesting, which lanes are moving fast, will make a difference.

me parece que una de las cosas que diferencia un gps estandar de uno premium es precisamente la señalización del carril que se debe coger en una determinada salida o el carril que debes seguir para mejorar tu experiencia en la conducción.
Esto sería a nivel más básico. si se quiere mejorar y que WAZE sea el estandar de GPS, lo que incorporaria aparte de esto seria carteles virtuales tipo TOMTOM en los que aparezca en carril por el que se debe circular en cada momento o en cada cambio de ruta -

Yes !
Talk about keep left and keep right...
Need to consider the RAMP as same highway and show/talk the correct instructions !!! -

This is a great feature to have and arguably the single most important enhancement Waze should work on!

I would like to see Waze add the feature to alert you as to which lane to be in as yo approach turns. Has this ever been discussed?

Lane Assist at crossroads
As other software like iGO it should use lane assist to highlight lanes which to follow.
For example at 4 parallel lane it should highlight 2. and 3. lane to follow.

This would be a really cool idea...

FIRST low quality devices mist be prevented from submitting location data. GNSS with error above 7 meter must be discarded
Cheap phone owners can buy usb- or Bluetooth external GNSS if they want to contribute.

It would be nice if the program showed lane guidance similar to how Google maps does it. I find myself having to use Google Maps in major metropolitan areas because Waze is not showing me what lane I need to get in for my next turn.

On UK roads (this may also apply to other countries), larger roundabouts sometimes have specific lanes for entering a roundabout depending on which exit you need.
To have Waze tell you 'At the roundabout, use the centre lane to take the second exit' would be really useful.
An extension of this, would be that dual-carriage ways through towns & cities, sometimes use specific lanes for at junctions.
Again, a properly implemented lane assist would prove very useful.
As far as I know, no other sat-nav system offers either of these.
It would be implemented by analysing Google Maps' Street View looking for white arrows painted on the roads.

This is an overdue feature for Waze. Waze seems to be giving fewer directions now than a year/several months ago, or that may just be my incorrect impression of it, so this is even more necessary now. (I think I used to get more "stay to the left ahead to continue on X highway" directions, and now I just find myself at a fork in the road in the wrong lane with no warning from Waze.) Long story short, I'm using Google maps much more than Waze now.

A motorway junction assist feature would greatly help avoiding taking wrong exits from motorway junctions. Maybe a super zoom down to lane level would be the answer.

Needs sorting, many a wrong turn due to poor mapping of lane change
