Rest Stop information
Could you either add rest stops, or allow us to report rest stops, as well as distance to the next one as reported/displayed?
Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Should be able to turn on rest stops or truck stops, and services offered. There should be an options to turn this on for long trips so it constantly displays the miles to the next rest stop, and the next one after that. Sometimes your decision to stop is determined by how close the next one is.
There is an App called Trucker Path that does this to some extent, but very poortly, and focused mostly on trucker needs (i.e. truck partking). One that focuses on the non trucker, interstate traveler would be great.
As I alluded to, this should be a mode that can be turned on or off as it is not needed for most local travel.

There should be an icon for Rest Areas or at least a button to touch to show your next available Rest Area on your route. Currently having to use search option in google or siri. This is a must and can't believe you don't have this.

It would be nice to have rest areas added to the map, maybe as option. Knowing the distance to the next rest area would be really nice.

Have it prompt users for feedback on current status of rest areas so that you don't get there expecting it to be open when it's not. Especially so people can explore other options in case of bodily function urgencies...

Could you add a icon to
Show local rest areas. And upcoming ones along your route. -

Add a "Driving preferences" switch to show rest areas or not. I know there are separate apps for this, but it would be so much nicer to have it built in.

When I am on an Interstate, i think it would be useful to know when the next Rest Area is coming up. It doesn't have to be continually on the screen but as a pop-up box at intervals. I would like it for planning purposes for several reasons.

Would be fantastic to have rest stops with all details ie toilets, no toilets, tables, food vans etc. Great for long journeys to allocate Rest stops along the way.

I'd like WAZE to have the option to display how far it is to the next rest stop so I know if I need to get off at the next exit and go to a gas station or go on to the nearest rest area. Going to a rest area always seems so much faster and easier.
Sometimes I'm driving a motor home and a rest area is just much easier to navigate than some gas stations or fast food restaurants.

So I'm curious as to why you have a Uservoice Forum but you don't seem to act on suggestions?
This was suggested almost eight years ago and still hasn't been integrated into the app.

also with the current pandemic local stores and restaurants are closed to customers who want to come, so when traveling sometimes the rest stop is the only place you can use a restroom

I'd like to see a feature added which would notify the user when a rest area was within 5 or do miles ahead on the route or highway you're travelling. Rest areas are already marked in the Waze app, but a "near" notification at the top of the display would be very handy for the traveller. It should also be available in Android Auto or Apple Car Play.

This would be great, having a standalone rest stop category with facility options (toilets, showers, undercover, etc) as well as any restrictions (truck only, car only, etc) could then be combined with an in app option to "Find nears rest stop, include X feature" or have an on screen indicator that shows the rest stop and its features on map.
Next to finding where to go ... finding somewhere to stop along the way can be equally important at times.
