Hello Waze team,
I would like to suggest a feature that would make Waze much more useful for drivers who need to refuel during navigation.
Today, Waze can show fuel stations, but it does not let users properly filter fuel stations by preferred brands along the current route. For example, I often refuel only at TotalEnergies / Total Access, or sometimes only at stations compatible with specific networks such as Fulli, E.Leclerc, Carrefour, Intermarche, Super U, Shell, Esso, BP, Avia, etc.
The problem is simple: when I am already navigating, I do not want to search manually, compare stations one by one, or leave my route. I want Waze to show me the best fuel stations from my selected brands directly on my route.
Suggested feature:
During active navigation, Waze could show a small fuel panel with the 3 best matching stations on the current route.
Each result should show:
Station name
Brand or network
Fuel price for my selected fuel type
Price last updated
Open / closed / 24h status
Detour time, for example +2 min
Detour distance, for example +1.4 km
Distance remaining before reaching the station
One-tap button: “Add as stop”
Users should be able to choose:
Fuel type: Diesel, SP95, SP98, E10, E85, LPG, EV charging
Preferred brands or networks
Show only selected brands
Maximum detour time
Open now / 24h only
The brand list should not be limited to a few hardcoded examples. It should be searchable and country-specific, so users in France can select brands such as TotalEnergies, Total Access, AS24, Fulli, E.Leclerc, Carrefour, Intermarche, Super U, Auchan, Shell, BP, Esso, Avia, ENI, Dyneff, and others.
This would be extremely useful for:
Drivers with company fuel cards
Professional drivers
Users with loyalty programs
Drivers who prefer specific fuel quality or station networks
People on long trips who want to avoid unnecessary detours
EV drivers looking for compatible charging networks
Example user story:
I start navigation to my destination. I selected Diesel and the brands TotalEnergies + E.Leclerc. While driving, Waze shows the 3 best matching stations on my current route, ranked by lowest detour and price. I tap one station, Waze adds it as a stop, then continues to my original destination after refueling.
This would make fuel search much more practical, safer, and more useful while driving.
Thank you. exemple {
