Bring back Friends feature
Friends feature was a great feature and we would like to get it back. As mentioned on multiple conferences it was a "thing" in Waze which was diffenret in Waze app, it was something close to gamification and it was bringing users to the app.
Tkanks for every vote!

Friend feature was removed to make some place for Carpool - that was said by Waze many times. Now, Carpool is dead and Google is trying to implement Friends feature - that's why we would like to have it back!

New Functions for Linking External Provider Locations (Google Pin)
In the past, the WME PIE Script provided a valuable feature that allowed us to directly view the exact location of a place on Google Maps overlaid on the Waze map. Recently, this functionality was removed at Waze's request.
Most editors, including myself, consider this feature essential. Taking this opportunity, I suggest we request improvements to this linking tool. Below are some current issues and proposed solutions:
Issue 1:
Currently, WME allows the same CID to be added multiple times to the same place. This creates disorganization in the links.Solution 1:

Show bridge height
Not once, I've heard of trucks getting into accidents by hitting a bridge that is too low to the vehicles height.
Why not display the bridges on the route and their height to prevent those type of accidents?113 votes -
Saved places folders
It would be nice if individual saved places could be saved in separate folders. Possible one for family, shopping, vacation, activities, etc. It would make it faster and easier to find a place without scrolling through my entire saved list.

Send accurate (W3W?) location to recovery company, police, fire
When you breakdown, arrive at and accident or have an accident yourself, you need to be able to report your location very very accurately.
Waze could have an emergency call/location feature to guide police, ambulance, fire etc to the exact location. The most accurate in what 3 Words which has mapped the entire globe with 3m x 3m squares.

Add Rest Areas to Categories
Show rest areas and allow users set notifications for distances between rest areas or services (fuel, restrooms, food.) Driver fatigue is a significant contributor to vehicle accidents and some highways have few services or rest areas.

Import Plugshare / Openchargemap database for EV charging stations?
Can Waze import Plugshare / Openchargemap database for EV charging stations?
It should be more efficient to import it, than build/manage it from scratch.24 votes -

EV car icon and mood
EV car icon - something simple with a lightning bolt or plug on top?
Mood - a Bowie-esque lightning bolt across the face?

Remove WORK from My Waze.
Provide option for the User to remove WORK from being one of the Where To selections in My Waze. I would imagine many users are Retired, like me, and just assume not have it 'cluttering' up the list.

carpool
Turn carpool notice OFF !! Retired and drive by myself almost every day. I don't need the Carpool suggestion coming on every time I drive. Really dangerous when using Waze at night and that pops up. It covers my screen and have to tap it to get back to map.

Switch between editor profiles on different servers (NA - ROW - IL)
For those of us who edit on more than one server, it would be really helpful if we could easily switch between servers on our editing profile. I edit in both NA and ROW. My editor profile shows the server for the last place I edit (except sometimes it takes a day or so of editing in the other environment for my profile to switch), which makes it difficult to find the last place I edited on the other server.
I can make a whole string of edits in Laos, make one edit in the US . . . and…

Add current temperature display to map
It would be very helpful to iPhone users if the outside temperature could be integrated into the map display. When I use CarPlay the entire screen is taken up by the map display and the place where the outside temperature is normally shown is no longer visible.

Set Waze as default iOS navigation app [iOS 18.4/EU only]
In the EU, Apple has finally made it possible to set a default navigation app in iOS 18.4.
Unfortunately, Waze has not yet implemented this feature.
You can find the new option in iOS 18.4 under Settings -> Apps -> Default apps -> Navigation
This is what it looks like: https://ibb.co/wNHBspGN
It would be really great to finally have the option on iOS to open addresses directly without having to copy and paste them manually into Waze, for example.

Share a Drive
Bring back to original ‘share a drive’!! This sending a text message is annoying & takes slightly longer. Not having ‘friends’ in Waze is annoying as well. Why did you get rid of these options?
