Voice search feature
Wouldn't it be great if Waze had a voice search feature while driving so you could safely get directions to your destination. Oh wait, it did and some asshat removed it from the app. Thanks for nothing.

Great news! Using Google Assistant to search for destination is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

There have been MANY times when I'm in Waze and I need to change destination or add a stop to a route while driving. And a Voice Only Search while driving is perfect. I have to switch to Google maps to do this because I don't want to pull over to the side of the highway just to change destinations OR add a stop in a route.

In Android Auto, add the option to enter an address whilst driving by using the speak option of the Google Assistant.
This is the best option in Google Maps. Unbelievable that this option is still not available in Waze. -

In Android auto it would be nice to set the destination whilst driving using Google Assistant (like in google maps)

Apple iOS has an accessibility function called ‘Voice Control’. Currently Waze does works with this function, but is limited and not fully compatible.
I hope that the developer team can look into enhancing and improving the use of Voice Control as it will greatly help drivers to have a handsfree journey when navigating Waze’s features.
Thank you and I hope to see the enhancement in future updates.

Pentru siguranta traficului, propun implementarea comenzilor vocale pentru destinatiile dorite. Ulterior pot fi adaugate si alte comenzi.

I work for a postal delivery service in the Netherlands and every time I get a new neighborhood I am having trouble finding the addresses. What I would like to see implemented is a feature that let's me say something like: "Waze give me directions to ..." and that it would start instantly.

for voice commands -> Navigation -- at present only "Home" and "Work" are allowed, which I understand. Trying to have WAZE 'understand' hundreds of names for location is a programming pain. How about an option where the user NAMES a location beginning with a number, example "1 Mom's House" or "5 - College". That way a voice command could be simply "Navigate One" and WAZE would show the way to Mom's house.
