  1. estimation based on the gradient of the route

    Implement fuel consumption/energy expenditure estimation based on the gradient of the route. Currently it does not take into account whether the route contains uphill or downhill slopes. In many cases a route can be more efficient if uphill slopes are avoided or efficiency can be improved if it is downhill. It can also be very useful for bicycles, trucks, etc.

  2. Avisar de Lomas y Cuestas - Quito

    En este caso me refería a Quito en especifico pero si implementan esto seguro ayudaras en muchos otros lugares...
    Como sabrán en Quito existen muchas lomas y algunos usuarios tenemos motos eléctricas y dando un ejemplo por carcelen bajo hay una loma alta alado del parque ecológico...
    Entonces me gustaría saber si podrían poner para que la gente que sepa más rutas avise...
    Esta calle tiene una cuesta... una ruta alterna mejor y menos empinada seria por acá... y asi para en el caso de las motos electricas se daña la batería por mucha fuerza y me gustaría tener otra…

  3. Add an "not accurate button" on the map

    I approached a large circle and Waze instructed me to make a left turn. That was not clear for that overly large circle and I went into the wrong area. Better to have said turn into the 4th opening. Also, while driving in another place, it told me to turn too quickly when another turn was shortly after. I think it would help if there was a "not accurate" button on the map that could easily be pressed so WAZE could investigate the route and correct it. Thanks for your help in finding directions because you certainly have made my…

  5. ניווט במצב אופליין

    כמו במפות גוגל שיש אפשרות להוריד מפה מראש שכוללת את כל המפות העדכניות וכן את בתי העסק כמו תחנות דלק שאם אני רוצה להתחיל ניווט ללא אינטרנט שתהיה לי אופציה לטעון מסלול.. כרגע נותן ליטעון מסלול רק במקומות שכבר ביקרתי אבל בלי מפה מוכנה למקום חדש.. וכן זמן מדוייק להגעה במצב אופליין.

  8. select locations to avoid

    Click a specific location you want to avoid (dangerous, long light, frequent traffic, personal reasons, etc). If you can click to add a stop to a route, you should be able to select a location and say Avoid this (Just for this trip, Save to un-favorites list, or Always avoid). Currently I have to add a fake stop to trick Waze into rerouting around a known bad spot.

  9. 2 ideas for routing

    Have an option to base economic routes on the cars MPG. It would basically be googles econ route but made tailored to your MPG rather than on car average. Another thing would be to add traffic lights and stop signs to account for on the trip.

  11. Comment on Road closures and detours

    On Thursday night I was driving from Cremorne NSW to Bulli NSW. At approximately 7:30pm, I was navigated to drive down Bulli Pass, but there was a detour in place, and I had to continue on the freeway and detour and double back to Bulli.
    How come Waze didn't know about this detour? How can one report whilst driving, that there is a road closure in place and detours set up?

  12. Put the avoid freeways option on the route page. Stop hiding it.

    Avoid Freeways option needs to be moved to the routes page. Make it as easy for us to change as the avoid tolls is.

    Right now you have it buried and it takes a few clicks to get to it. And we all know that Waze does not give alternative routes UNLESS Avoid Freeways is turn off.

  13. More stop routes

    Guys such a basic feature which all of your competitors has is more stop routes with function of dragging them upper or lower by driving sequence. Common I love Waze and lack of this function is pushing me to use competitor app for navigation which I hate to use but I must to.

  15. Alternate routes color text

    On the alternative routes page, on an Android phone, reading the best route information is difficult because the text and green background are bright. I would like you to improve the contrast, maybe changing the text to black.

  18. Improved Automatic Re-Routing for Traffic Congestion in Waze

    We would like to propose an enhancement to Waze's automatic re-routing feature to provide users with greater control and flexibility when navigating around traffic congestion.

    Currently, Waze offers basic re-routing, but it lacks the ability to:

    Prioritize surface streets or alternate highways/freeways: This would be particularly valuable for users who prefer avoiding congested highways altogether, even if it means a slightly longer route.

    Define granular re-routing preferences: A binary on/off toggle is limiting. We propose options similar to existing route preferences (fastest/shortest) that allow users to:

    Set time windows for re-routing: For example, automatically re-route during known rush hour periods.

  19. Put locations at top of 'Where To' list at set time and day

    I often do things same time each week. It would be great to have the option to set a time and a day for saved locations.

    This would mean if I open Waze around 5:30pm on any Tuesday or Thursday, (this) item will start at the top of my 'Where To' list.

    This feature would work best in conjunction with a 'Silent' option for each saved location. Since I go to certain places frequently, I already know how to get there.

    Setting a Saved Location to 'Silent' would mean directions are only read aloud to the driver IF THEY DIFFER…

  20. Routes

    When using carplay with Iphone: in oorder to see all the routes, one need to click on the arrow and then a window opens with the initial route already offered, and the request to click again on the screen to see all the routes. The second click on the screen is completely unnecessary because it is clear that if I click the first time to see routes I would like to see all the options (usually 3 ). Maybe you can check its cancellation. Thank you
