Add “avoid freeways” to drop down menu on map screen.
It would be super useful to have the option to avoid freeway’s using the drop down list instead of having to scroll through all the preferences to find it. Especially once you’ve already started driving, and you want to change routes. It’s much more useful than “avoid ferries” when you live in a big city. I have 3 freeways near my home, and when I need to go just a few miles it always wants to put on a freeway just to have me get off one exit later.

Latest saved addresses
Hi Good Day
I trust you are well.
My name is Brad and I'm a big fan of Waze. Been using it ever since I discovered it. Thank you for creating such a fun and practical navigating app.
I have a suggestion though, if I may, please can you make an adjustment to where newly saved addresses are shown. When I plan a new journey to a place I put in the address and save it to use later. The update I would like to suggest is to have the latest saved addresses appear at the top of the saved…

Velocímetro y notificación de exceso de velocidad configurables en tamaño y posición
Hola,
Lo primero felicitarles el nuevo año 2023.
Felicitarles también por su extraordinaria aplicación.Soy una persona con 62 años de edad, con prebicia por la edad. Esto es una dificultad al mirar la pantalla del navegador integrado en el coche. Hay que desviar la vista a un lateral y las gafas que corrigen la presbicia solo permiten ver bien las imágenes cuando los ojos están centrados, por lo que es difícil ver bien y rápido el velocímetro o la alerta de exceso de velocidad en la posición en la que actualmente se encuentra. Este problema, estoy convencido, le ocurre…

Driver Avatars/Icons
Gamification in apps like this can incentivize consumers to increase usage of your app. More frequent users ultimately increases your revenue from advertising and other potential sources. My idea is that you should incorporate a point/coin system that rewards users for driving miles using Waze. These points can then be used to buy avatars and icons in place of the boring arrow that represents the driver. The more points you save up, the cooler avatars you can buy. Potentially, the points can be used for gift cards and other rewards that you may come up with. In the end, this…

Offset turn instruction
Oftentimes at standard, perpendicular intersections, streets dead-end on one side and pick up again on the other side, offset by just a few dozen feet. For simplicity's sake and for routing, we map a lot of these as plain four-way intersections (like an italicized + sign, you could say).
But this can be confusing for drivers, who arrive at the intersection with no special instruction and yet are forced to almost fully turn right or left. The simple four-way mapping style is appropriate when the offset would still allow a car's width to pass through without turning, but when there…

Recent Locations (Local Device Data) - Bulk Remove Option
Waze offers the ability to remove Recent Drive History in Bulk, however it leaves Recent Locations on the Local Device.
I do not wish to keep these recent locations as they are of no relevance to my future trips.
Waze only offers the ability to individually delete these records which can be an extremely repetitive task.
Three Dots > Remove > Yes for each Recent Location
I would love to be able to Bulk Remove Recent Locations from the My Waze GUI.
I believe the following options would be a significant improvement:
- Remove All Recent Locations
- Swipe Left…7 votes -
Have an easy to use "manual start/pause" button
It would be helpful to have a "Start now" button. I'll often set my destination while still parked, so the part about navigating out of the parking lot is the app getting confused over and over while I navigate out to the street.

More fuel types to Waze
Currently Waze only allows four different fuel types for fuel stations. I believe that number is not enough. For example in Finland we currently have 95E10, 98E5, Diesel and E85 as options in Waze. In reality many fuel stations offer renewable/green diesel, natural or bio-gas and some even have AdBlue (DEF) from a pump. Currently around half of my countries fuel types can not have prices set for in Waze.
So, my suggestion is that community members should be able to add a price to any fuel type available at a given station, wich would require an increase to the…

Shortcuts for Hazard Reports
When using the Hazard Report feature in Waze I often find that:
1) I use 1 to 3 reports a LOT more often than any others.
2) I often find that selecting these hazard icons using the current method is fiddly, dangerous when driving, and slow, resulting in the report being sent late, often about 100 meters or more past the hazard.
My improvement idea is to add 1 to 3 hazard SHORTCUTS that "slide out" for selection from the existing hazard report icon (yellow triangle) on the FIRST touch, they would then "slide in" again after selection to avoid…

In app widget
A great feature would be an in app widget for reports. Let the users choose a report shortcut to be added on the map. Just push one button of choice to send a report. It would be much better for safety.
My reports consists mostly of car on shoulder, I’d love to add a shortcut for that on my map.6 votes -
Search bar for Tolls and HOV passes
In the Tolls and HOV passes menu, there are a lot of passes for a while (in the past there were only passes for my country), and I have to scroll through them to find the pass I'm looking for. It is really a lot, I guess for the whole of Europe. It would be beneficial to have a search bar for this menu to be able to filter/search passes.

I wish the speed limit sign was bigger
I wish the speed limit sign was bigger. Because right now I feel like it's too small when I look at it on my phone (iPhone 12 Promax). Because I can't focus on it while driving, I think we need to make the speed limit sign bigger or equal to the speed display when moving. That way it's easier to read at a glance, rather than having to look at it closely.

Battery Saver always on
Option to have battery saver always-on by default. It's a poor user experience to have to set this manually for EVERY journey for those that want to have the battery as high as practitable before exiting the car and/or save their OLED screens from burning. Not everyone uses a charger in the car. And most phones use OLED screens.
'Automatically turn on' is there as an option, but it waits for battery to become low before kicking in, which rather defeats the object of saving battery (it's too late if it's already become low!) and meanwile you risk burning the…

Variable Speed Limit Camera Audio Cues
Hi, based in the UK here.
When a user drives in a variable speed limit zone on a motorway in the UK, Waze thinks the speed limit is 70 mph all the time when in fact the speed limits can be changed from anywhere between 20 mph and 70 mph.
These variable speed limit zones have several speed cameras that can detect speeding for a variety of speed limits.
When navigating on Waze, when approaching a speed camera the audio cue for alerting to speed cameras does not play when driving within the speed limit shown in Waze, only when…
