Reverse driving directions
Where you have the To and From locations at the top of the screen with the arrow separating the two, you might give the ability for a user to tap on that arrow or an icon that would reverse those driving directions.
Where this would be helpful: in my case, I have two kids that play sports and often get rides with other parents to and from San Diego to orange county. This drive time fluctuates so much based on traffic that this would be helpful to know when I can expect my kids to get home. They don’t always…

When Searching for "FUEL", add [Nearest] or [Along Route] selector/modifier.
Not only is this needed, but it also needs good UX to make what's happening clear.
In the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of situations, I want the CLOSEST gas station AHEAD (or on my current) route. It could be something as easy as a modal popup that says [BUTTON] in brackets:
[Shortest Distance] or [Nearest Ahead]
Where [Shortest] = "oh my .... I'm on fumes and need fuel NOW"
And
[Nearest Ahead] just does a quick check of your current route, a little balancing to find the shortest route with a 10-minute "lookahead" and presents the user with a list that INCLUDES:…

Stop reversing coordinates formats in Waze Live Map
When you paste coordinates from Google Maps to Waze Live Map, what's long on Google Maps becomes Lat and vice versa. This is not the case for WME or Waze app. Can it be the same to facilitate search?

Location vs route in search
It's super annoying that when I search a location, if I've never navigated to it, I can tap on it to see its info card, where if I have navigated there before, I can only start a route to that location. The only way for me to see the info card is to search and then look around the map for the location I want, if it even finds it, and tap on the map. The listed results should be just locations, unless you've navigated there recently, then show two options, one to route and one to see the info…

Search certain area
When trying to find a spot on the map, there should be an option to update the search area. Google let us manually update it, and Apple does it automatically. I don't see why Waze users should not have this essential feature for navigating new places. Thank you

Pesquisa por voz
No android auto deveria ter opção de inserir o destino por voz (pesquisa de endereço por voz). Ter que digitar na tela da multimídia é terrível. Outra sugestão é deixar já como padrão a opção de digitar no telefone.

Adding "Storage" as a category for locations/businesses
There is currently no "storage" category for facilities that are built for people to, well, store items. Places such as Self Storages and warehouses. Currently, I've been saving them as "other." I want to propose this category addition not just for easier mapping, but easier searching for Waze drivers.

BRING BACK THE SEARCH FUNCTION!!!
It used to be that if you said "navigate to Walmart" in Android Auto it would show a list of nearby walmarts and you could chose the correct one. Now it just routes you to some random one that is often not even close to the one you intended. It routed me to a Top Golf 8h away once when the one I was trying to get to was 10min. Its like they are trying to get people off the app deleting critical functions.

Add a “RETURN TO START POINT” option that will guide users back to the point in which they started.
Add a “RETURN TO START POINT” option that will guide users back to the point in which they started.
I dropped a friend off at work during my first visit to Detroit, so I could use her car for the day. I used Waze to navigate away from her job, but her phone doesn’t work in
the office and I have no way of contacting her to get the address to her job. It would be great to just go into Waze and select “RETURN TO START POINT” and have Waze navigate me back seamlessly! This would be a Fanta…3 votes -
Enhance the Search Experience: Visualize Nearby Places on Map
Overview:
Improve the search experience by providing users with a visual representation of nearby places on the map. Currently, when searching for a specific place like McDonald's, the app displays a list of locations with their distances. However, it would be helpful to have the option to view these locations directly on the map, allowing users to assess their proximity to specific streets or areas.
Benefits:
Enhanced Decision-Making: Visualizing nearby places on the map provides users with a better understanding of their geographic distribution and allows them to evaluate which location is most convenient based on its proximity to streets…3 votes -
Unable to fill search field from result
When typing an address for a search it shows autocomplete results which are perfect but if you want to extend one of the search results in the search field then not possible. So there must be an option with each item in searched list to get the result and fill in the search box so later can add more in it. At the moment it’s downright annoying.

filter search results
I suggested this back in May, but it's not got any traction so I'm suggesting it again because I really need this to be done:
PLEASE add the ability to filter/block search results!
I lose a lot of time because I have to keep plugging in the entire address in order to find the one that's twenty minutes away.
If I don't, there is a real possibility that I'll end up driving to the United States because those results always seem to come up first.
I NEVER - I repeat: "NEVER!" - will be driving in the United States, especially…

Where you'll be along route at a certain time
I'm on a 34 hour road trip currently and it occurred to me that it would be nice to see where exactly along the route we'll be at a certain time. For example, I just drank a coffee and need to find a bathroom 1.5 hours away. A sliding scale to select that time frame and see what destinations are around would be great!

Merge 2 of the same address on waze map
So when you search sometimes it will show 2 of the same address 1 from waze and other from Google but what if they were merged. The only issue would be sometimes Google is wrong so the address will need to be checked.

Apply search suggestion to search bar
Often when searching for an address, its already suggested in the list. However when a slight modification is needed, such as changing the house number, it is necessary to type in the full adress.
Instead I would like to ask for the functionality of applying the search result to the search bar, for being able to modify the search suggestion on the fly.2 votes -
Dog Parks
Date: 01/25/2026
I'd like to suggest adding dog parks in the "parks" category. In the past it has been difficult to find dog parks, let alone a fenced in park where I can let my dogs free roam.Adding dog parks as a location would be a fantastic feature for so many travelers!

Give me only the suggestions I ask for please !
When I'm trying to search for something along the route, please only give me the location(s) of THE PLACE I asked for. If I want other options, I'll search by category. I searched for Wawa, please don't show me other mini marts. If I search for McDonald's, please don't show me Wendy's or burger King. I'll search by "food" if I want all the different places to eat. If I search sunoco, please don't show me other gas stations, I'll search by the "gas" category if I want all of the gas options.
