Importing a planned route into Waze
My friends and I often go riding with the motorcycle, convertible, or old‑timer.
Most of the time we follow pre‑planned routes that are created in, for example, a .gpx file.It would be a real win‑win if Waze could offer a way to upload these planned routes, combined with real‑time obstacles, roadworks, and controls.
Right now, we can enter our destination and Waze gives us the most recent updates. We’re curious whether it might become possible in the future to import a planned route.
Fingers crossed already.

It would be appreciated to add the "Avoid high-risk areas" setting in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
There are many dangerous streets and neighborhoods here. Avoiding them is crucial for the delay ride.

Fix the catastrophically bad basic route-planning
Stop gaslighting users about traffic, faster routes and GPS - Waze algorithms for route planning are the issue.!
It's the same on every journey. It needs fixing. Properly and urgently.
PS The picture is not my vehicle. ; )
The simplest journey, from my door to the local highway should be a straight road, 2.5 minutes but Waze makes a 270 degree loop, three times or more as long, on identical roads and traffic.
It is completely unreliable for journeys of every length - and it's not my GPS or traffic conditions!

Rua Íngreme
Olá equipe Waze.
O aplicativo é muito bom, mas acho viável a possibilidade de implementação de uma função para evitar ruas íngremes. Aqui em Belo Horizonte existem ruas que vão para o ceu. ***.1 vote -
Toll vs no toll cost estimating
Currently, Waze shows estimated costs for tolls which is very helpful. However, I think it would be very beneficial if there was a feature comparing the estimated cost of taking a toll road vs taking the longer ‘no toll’ option. For example, if a toll road might cost $5 but saves 15 minutes of driving, based on current average fuel prices (typical fuel type and average L/100km entered by user) could a cost estimate for fuel used on the longer route be used to compare and inform the decision for which route to take? For example, the $5 toll saving…

Screen flash
Hi, because I focus on the road. I only look at my phone when checking the route as I prefer not to have the Voice.
Please can you introduce a flashing screen when a hazard approaches or speed camera which would immediately advise a driver to slow down as in Formula One at a black Red flag, etc1 vote -
Proposals to improve driving
I notice that all the traffic reports made while driving (roadworks, blocked lanes, etc.) last too short.
I drive the same route every day and don't see the reports made the day before.
I also find it inconvenient, and dangerous, to post the above reports because they distract from driving and can be dangerous.
There should be a quicker and easier way to post the reports, and they should remain active for longer.
Furthermore, why not report traffic along the route by changing the arrival time color, like Google Maps, which changes the arrival time color depending on the traffic…1 vote -
Feature needed to highlight favourite routes and also disliked ones
Feature needed to favourite routes loved to re-use as well as highlight disliked routes to avoid. If a favourite route is too busy or blocked, offer an alternative route but check the favourite route first and let the driver choose. Also an option is needed to highlight routes that one doesn’t like and wants to avoid. Such as narrow country lanes and roads with speed bumps.

Create a Vehicle-Aware Routing System for Waze
The Waze Team should consider incorporating a feature that can detect a user’s vehicle and its specifications, such as its height and weight, and to use that data when generating routes. Incidents such as over-height trucks striking low bridges, overweight vehicles damaging roads, and large trucks being directed into streets that are too narrow could be significantly prevented through this vehicle-aware routing. Implementing this would be a significant step towards leveraging emerging technologies to improve user experience and safety in a way that other GPS systems currently fail to account for.

Asheville Regional Airport
For travelers planning a trip to the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains or the vibrant arts scene of Asheville, North Carolina, understanding which carriers operate at the local airport is the first step in a seamless journey. The search for Asheville Regional Airport reveals an encouraging discovery: Asheville Regional Airport is served by a robust and diverse lineup of six major airlines, connecting this growing city to the rest of the United States and, through major hubs, the world. AVL consistently ranks among the fastest-growing airports in the country and stands as the third busiest airport in North Carolina, having served…

Restore real-time route tracking
Waze used to provide highly accurate real-time traffic updates. I am requesting that this functionality be restored. Currently, the app seems to calculate travel time based on long-term historical statistics, which might be effective in massive megacities, but in a city of half a million people, the routing is consistently inaccurate.
Last week was a school holiday. Today, the app is clearly relying on statistics from that holiday period rather than the actual real-time traffic conditions. Due to these flawed formulas, a commute that should have taken 35 minutes ended up taking over an hour. Please prioritize real-time data over…1 vote -
Ferramenta de Medição de Trecho (Ponto A ao B) em Rota Ativa
Título da Sugestão:
Ferramenta de Medição de Trecho (Ponto A ao B) em Rota Ativa
Descrição:
Objetivo: Permitir que o usuário meça a distância exata entre dois pontos específicos dentro de uma rota já traçada, sem a necessidade de configurar "Paradas" ou alterar o destino final.
Como funcionaria:
Com a navegação ativa, o usuário daria um toque longo no mapa para definir o Ponto Inicial (A).
Um segundo toque longo definiria o Ponto Final (B).
O Waze exibiria flutuante na tela a distância total (km/m) apenas desse intervalo selecionado.
Benefício: Facilita o cálculo de distâncias para motoristas profissionais e logística,…1 vote -

Route options on Car Play
When connected to car play, I cannot choose a route, Waze does it for me. Sometimes it chooses routes I would not choose. Either poor areas of a city, poor roads, lots of side streets, toll roads, etc. I’d like to choose my route from at least 2 or 3 options vs none. Thank you.

"Predictive" traffic information
Would it be possible for the app to have a switch allowing the users to see "predicted ETA" based on traffic data for the route from previous days/weekdays?
For example, I know for sure that a particular segment of a journey will get jammed at about 6:55 - 7:05. However, when starting the 30min journey at 6:40, this particular segment is still "free of traffic" based on live info, and so Waze shows me the route as the fastest, despite the fact that within 15 min this segment will get jammed and the "fastest" route will turn into the slowest.

Horse
I’d like an option to identify preferred routes based on vehicle size/towing. Some routes are quicker for a car as they can navigate bends and turns quickly however when driving with a horse float on or a large SUV with a caravan these routes are not conducive and slow others down.
