Always Display the Next Turn for Safer, Easier Navigation
🚗HELLO FELLOW WAZERS, IF THIS IS A FEATURE YOU’D LOVE TO HAVE, PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO HIT THE ⬆️ VOTE BUTTON!
If you’ve ever completed a turn only to discover that your next turn or maneuver is almost immediately afterward, and suddenly you need to get across two or three lanes, you know exactly why this feature would be helpful.
I believe Wazers would benefit from Waze making navigation even more helpful by offering an option to always display the next turn or maneuver underneath the current navigation instruction.
➡️ NEXT: Turn right in 500 ft
↩️ THEN: Turn left in 0.3 mi
One quick glance. Two navigation instructions visible. No need to touch the screen just to see what comes next.
This would be more than a convenience feature. Potentially, it’s a safety feature that everyone could benefit from.
Knowing the next turn or maneuver in advance gives drivers more time to choose the correct lane, anticipate an upcoming turn, exit, fork, or other maneuver, and avoid sudden lane changes or last second decisions. It also gives drivers one less reason to interact with the screen while the vehicle is moving.
Ideally, this could be an optional setting such as:
Settings → Navigation → Always Show Next Turn
Drivers who prefer the current display could leave it unchanged, while those of us who want more advance notice could simply turn the feature on.
If this is a feature you would find useful, please take a moment to tap the ⬆️ VOTE button. Every vote helps show Waze that its community is genuinely interested in having this option added.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you to everyone who votes and helps bring more attention to the idea.
Safe travels, fellow Wazers! 🚗💨

Display following turn at the same time as my next turn

Dear Waze Team,
I appreciate the work you’ve done to make navigation more intuitive and efficient. I’d like to suggest a feature that could further enhance safety for drivers: displaying the next two upcoming turns instead of only the immediate one.
Currently, Waze provides turn-by-turn guidance, but it only shows the next turn unless the following turn happens right after. Having a clear view of the next two turns at all times would allow drivers to plan ahead and avoid last-minute lane changes or abrupt movements. This small adjustment could prevent confusion, reduce accidents, and improve overall road safety.
While the turn-by-turn list is helpful, it doesn’t dynamically remove completed turns, making it harder to glance at what's next while driving. A real-time “Next Two Turns” display would offer smoother navigation and enhance user experience.
Safety should always be a top priority, and I strongly believe this feature could contribute to making roads safer for all drivers. I would love to see this implemented in future updates!
