Optimized functionalities for motorbikes

It's too bad Waze doesn't offer any of these functionalities for riders/bikers:
- deactivate traffic jams in the time calculation (or consider we are at around 50 km/h on these parts of the path)
- proposing winding/twisting roads with different levels, just like Tomtom and Garmin already do with their devices
- allowing to create more than one step point to get the perfect itinerary
- allowing the load of external files (such as .gpx for example) to create roadbooks on our computer (with Google Maps or else) and then send it to our smartphone.

In brief, just a few things that would make Waze the perfect companion for motorcyclists, which is far from the case nowadays!

    1. Motorbike Mode Swap & Separate Settings
    • Allow easy switching between car and motorbike modes. Each mode should have separate settings (e.g., audio-only alerts on bike, full voice guidance in car).

    2. Automatic Fuel Stop Planner for Motorbikes
    • Automatically plan petrol stops based on the bike’s tank and remaining range.
    • Stops should be chosen for best price/location, with audio reminders—no action needed from the rider.
    • Essential for bikers relying only on audio guidance.

    3. Option to Ignore Automatic Traffic Rerouting for Motorbikes
    • Let motorbike riders stay on the original route even if Waze suggests a reroute.
    • Constant rerouting can be distracting or unsafe when riding.
    • Helps bikers navigate streets and filter through traffic safely.

    Sports car drivers would love this too.

    Maybe not the implication that bikers will weave when there's a traffic jam - that's just dangerous and illegal in most places.

    i would love gpx support and proposing different roads on bike, liberty rider is awesome for this but don't have the speed radar detection of waze

  • Bartłomiej Ender commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am missing GPX import so much in Waze, especially for motorcycle group rides... Looking forward, as I am not interested in navigation alternatives.

  • Jenar commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why are you avoiding to implement gpx waypoints/routes ?
    Sorry I have no understanding for that decision!

  • Stephen Jones commented  ·   ·  Report

    I 100 percent agree with the above proposed statement.

    I have used a lot of different apps and nav devices - Garmin, TomTom Rider, Google Maps, BeeLine the list is significant. I love how waze works but this is rather irritating.

    Multi point nav should be easy enough - google maps has it but it just sucks for navigation.

    I wouldn't mind say creating a route I want in google maps and being able to import it - I would accept that.

    In the Car however Waze for my needs are spot on

    GPX import would be awesome, or at least more than 1 intermediate point...

  • Pierre Fournier commented  ·   ·  Report

    Also add an option to turn off automatic route optimization ("Route X is faster - CHANGING!"). When riding a bike, we may **manually select** a route for our enjoyment, not because we're in a hurry.

    Curvy road is a next level feature and that's why I don't use waze as my main GPS. I highly recommand this.

  • Cyr Gri commented  ·   ·  Report

    Not an idea, something missing. How can i easily download the travels, route i have done? The only option about this, is to send them to waze. Dont you think that's a bit rude?

  • aro@aromedia.net commented  ·   ·  Report

    First Import GPX File. Then all the features indicated in this comment.

  • Vladimír Přibyl commented  ·   ·  Report

    Waze developers. You never dříve motocycle? Why we can select motocycle if we have not possibility to predefine exact route? Gpx imort is missing for couple of years. There is no reason to use waze for US.

  • Eugene commented  ·   ·  Report

    Goddammit, Waze. Just make GPX file upload possible already!!! :))

    This would immediately blow up your motorcyclist's user numbers.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    GPX file import feature as a motorcyclist it’s an absolute MUST ! Please make this happen your app is great, but not useful for bikers without it
