Show trip history for the same destination
It would be very useful if Waze could show a user’s previous driving history to the same destination.
Today, Waze only shows a small history/search icon for places that appeared in my past searches or navigation history. However, this does not provide enough useful information about when I actually drove there or how long the drive took.
The main benefit would be the ability to quickly see when I last drove to that destination. For example, if I search for a place I visited before, Waze could show the last time I navigated there, along with previous trips to the same destination.
This could include:
● The date and time of the last trip
● Previous trips to the same destination
● The actual driving time for each trip
● Average travel time based on my own history
● Best and worst travel times I personally experienced
This would help users remember when they last visited a place, and also better understand how long the drive usually takes for them based on their own real driving history - not only based on current traffic estimates.
For destinations I visit from time to time, such as family, work, school, appointments, or places I do not visit regularly, this feature could make trip planning and personal tracking much easier.
יהיה שימושי מאוד אם Waze תוכל להציג למשתמש את היסטוריית הנסיעות הקודמות שלו לאותו יעד.
כיום, Waze מציגה רק אייקון קטן של היסטוריית חיפוש עבור מקומות שהופיעו בחיפושים או בניווטים קודמים שלי. עם זאת, המידע הזה לא מספק מספיק ערך שימושי לגבי מתי באמת נסעתי לשם או כמה זמן הנסיעה לקחה.
היתרון המרכזי יהיה האפשרות לראות במהירות מתי בפעם האחרונה נסעתי לאותו יעד. לדוגמה, אם אני מחפש מקום שכבר ביקרתי בו בעבר, Waze תוכל להציג את הפעם האחרונה שבה ניווטתי לשם, יחד עם נסיעות קודמות לאותו יעד.
המידע יכול לכלול:
- התאריך והשעה של הנסיעה האחרונה
- נסיעות קודמות לאותו יעד
- זמן הנסיעה בפועל בכל נסיעה
- זמן נסיעה ממוצע על בסיס ההיסטוריה האישית שלי
- זמני הנסיעה הטובים והגרועים ביותר שחוויתי באופן אישי
זה יעזור למשתמשים לזכור מתי הם ביקרו לאחרונה במקום מסוים, וגם להבין טוב יותר כמה זמן הנסיעה לשם בדרך כלל לוקחת עבורם, על בסיס היסטוריית הנסיעות האישית שלהם - ולא רק על בסיס הערכות תנועה נוכחיות.
עבור יעדים שאני מבקר בהם מדי פעם, כמו משפחה, עבודה, בית ספר, פגישות, או מקומות שאינני מבקר בהם באופן קבוע, הפיצ׳ר הזה יכול להפוך את תכנון הנסיעה והמעקב האישי להרבה יותר קלים.

This is an interesting one. On the face of it a good idea but then one has to ask "how is the driver on such a slow traffic road that he has the time to focus on all the necessary input without compromising safety?". Isn't it both the job of Waze to route the driver along less crowded roads; and isn't it in the driver's self-interest to choose less crowded roads?
If the traffic is continuously so bad and the route choices so few that this becomes a sensible suggestion, I suspect that whatever you do, congestion on all routes raises other issues beyond Waze.

Hello Waze Team,
I’d like to suggest a feature that could significantly improve user experience and provide valuable insights for drivers.
Feature Name: Trip Log
Description:
After each drive, Waze would automatically record key trip details — including departure time, arrival time, total duration, and the actual route taken.
This information would appear next to each destination in the navigation history, allowing users to easily view when they started, when they arrived, and how long each trip took.Benefits:
- Enables users to track travel times and patterns over time.
- Useful for logging work trips, comparing travel durations, or managing business mileage.
- Provides greater transparency and convenience for frequent travelers.
- Could also help improve ETA accuracy by analyzing real user trip data.I believe this feature would be highly appreciated by many drivers and would make Waze even more powerful for daily use.
Best regards,

Subject: Suggestion for Improving Live Incident Communication on Waze
Dear Waze Team,
I’d like to suggest an improvement to enhance real-time communication between users when facing accidents, traffic jams, or road hazards. Currently, the comment section for reports is not very practical—it can be confusing, doesn’t receive much visibility, and isn’t as useful as it could be.
A possible solution could be a feature that gathers and highlights comments from users in the affected area, making it easier for drivers ahead to both inform and respond to those approaching the traffic incident. This could create a real-time “news feed” where users share updates on ongoing situations, helping others better understand what’s happening before they reach the area.
Additionally, Waze could leverage its own data—such as GPS speed and traffic flow—to validate user reports and increase reliability. This would not only make Waze an even more valuable source of real-time traffic information but also strengthen its community-driven aspect.
A more intuitive and prominent interface for this kind of interaction could greatly benefit users, helping them make better driving decisions while fostering a more connected and helpful community.
Thank you for considering this idea!
Best regards.
