Upgrade the "Add a Stop" function to sort the destinations (gas, food, coffee) from closest to farthest
Upgrade the "Add a Stop" function to sort the destinations (gas, food, coffee) from closest to farthest.
Right now, if you are in the midst of a long trip and click "Add a stop" and ask see options (for food or gas or coffee) you see locations near your destination.
Suggestion is to add distance options, like "show closests first".
What good is a gas station that is 125 miles away? ;)11 votes -
“Getting fuel/food” option if leaving the route, instead of being nagged to return to it
We just finished a two way cross country journey between Colorado and New Jersey. As usual we used Waze, and as always it was great. However, whenever we pulled off the interstate for any reason we were, of course, nagged with directions to get back onto it. I thought it would be really useful if a box could pop up where you could choose “stopping for fuel” or food, or rest break, so that the app would just pause directions

School districts input feed for updating their annual schedule and hours of operation changes
Since some school districts can have 85 or more zones and many states have over 20 counties ; managing the school holiday and time schedules can be a very big task.
Recommend getting a special feed set up so school districts can update them.10 votes -
Take a break on Roadside Rest Areas
When traveling on a highway using Waze, on pulling in to a known rest stop, Waze eagerly tries to get you back on your route. Waze should be able to discern that you've taking a break. Suggestion: when following a route on a highway, and you pull into a known rest area, Waze should pop up and say "Are you taking a break? yes / no"
Upon the user responding "yes," Waze goes into a pause and does not offer any further suggestions, until the phone unit is detected moving at better than 15 mph. This would help reduce confusion…

Social friends
Seen that you no longer associate with Facebook, I can’t follow my friends on Waze. Why don’t you create your own social media platform so Waze users can follow their from around the country and world to share their travels.
Very disappointed I can’t connect with friends on Waze.10 votes -
Bug with sorting recorded locations
(With French version under Android)
After having added several places in the "Recorded locations" panel (about 25) and having manually sorted them, I close the app. When re-opening it, the locations are scrambled and even if I sort the places again and again, the sorting is lost each time after the app is closed.10 votes -
Love the app. Please add , "Hey Dumb Butts, STOP RUBBER NECKING AND DRIVE!" You are causing the traffic delays.
Way to Tell Drivers to stop rubber necking. The stopping/braking to look is causing traffic delays.

Weight should be given to minimizing turns. The routing algorithm seems to ignore the number of turns (in favor of shorter route?)
Example: If you can get from point A to point B with a single turn, the simpler route should be recommended over a slightly shorter route that gets there with several alternating left and right turns.

WME PH Only show at higher zoom
Feedback on new icons for Place Hazards (Cameras, Railroad crossings). (from another editor's posting in Waze Discuss)
In WME: hazards show on the map all the way out to Zoom 14! at this Zoom, even the railroad segment isn't rendered - does the hazard need to render this far?
In areas like NYC, WME performance is already poor (for making edits, panning and zooming in).
Now these icons also render out to Zoom Level 14, covering multiple streets, nodes, etc.
Not too long ago we had an update for UR and PUR pills to group up (cluster) to reduce clutter,…

Saving current location as a Place
Add a Place currently requires you to enter an address. It should also allow you to add your current location (often you don't know the address) directly.

Give editors a method to quickly jump to a chat response from another editor
I literally have thousands of editors that I have chatted with and when one replies, I can see the icon in the top right of my editor screen tells me I have a reply. But to get to it, I must scroll through hundreds (or thousands) of other editors to find the response. Could you make it so I could jump directly to that response?
These are new editors and it's important that we are quick in our response to them.

Allow Podcast apps integrated
Allow podcast apps such as Libby and BorrowBox to be intergrated into the Waze app. Currently when I listen to a podcast on a long drive I cannot hear the navigation sounds and waze noises.

Turn Waze off
Waze is great but it burns up your battery. It should auto turn off as soon as the route is completed or stopped.

From WME chance to see previous Street View footage
Currently, only the latest Street View shot can be seen from WME.
It would be interesting to add a button that allows you to switch to previous Street View shots (a bit like you can do on Google Maps).
In this case, it would be very useful to see how a street changes, or, for example, if a building is covered by a construction site, it would be possible to go back to previous shots to be able to see the house numbers covered by the construction site.7 votes
