Create a Partner Data Feed for GIS-based Street Sign Inventory
Many municipalities are importing/moving their street sign inventory into their GIS system. Since many Waze map attributes are based on visible street signs (speed limits, one-way streets, turn restrictions, school zones, street names, etc.), it makes sense to allow municipalities to upload their sign locations and have some koi-fish-style validation of those signs against the existing Waze attributes.
For the initial upload, where signs differ from the Waze attribute, Map Issues or Map Suggestions could be created to have WME editors verify the differences and make any necessary corrections.
On an ongoing basis, as new signs are posted and the…

EV networks
Allow users to add EV charging stations/networks and ideally integrate with present multi network services like Octopus Electroverse, ZapMap etc.
Allow filtering of charging stations by power and or cost as well as plug type
The current list of networks is limited and misses a significant number of stations that might otherwise be easily found and used enroute.

Parking spot
The find your car when you cannot remember where you parked is a great idea! I’ve needed it a couple of times already. However, it is not working… the car is there in the map, but the directions to walk to it, do not appear in the screen. I’ve tried the only thing that seems appropriate, which is to click on the car’s icon, but the only option in there is to send your location to someone else. I wish you could make this feature a little bit more user friendly. Thank you!

Emphasize searching by business address during user onboarding.
As a volunteer editor, I deal with many URs that involve what the user perceives to be "incorrect" address navigation. I frequently find myself advising reporters to search by business name instead of address, because the business PP is generally more accurate than the HN. It would be great if this could be added to the tips that are shown to a new user when they first run the app. I think this would reduce user frustration because they likely expect navigation to the building like in GMaps when they enter an address. They don't realize they are being taken…

recent drives
So when I choose a saved favorite, it never appears under recent drives. It would be very helpful if it did because I constantly have to scroll through my favorites when looking for this recent drive. Please have all recent drives appear in recent drives, even if they are saved favorites! Love Waze! And thanks!

Custom Waze Icon Bumper Stickers for Wazers
Subject: Marketing Idea: Custom Waze Icon Bumper Stickers for Wazers
Dear Waze Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing to share a fun and engaging marketing idea that I believe could greatly benefit both Waze and its community of users: offering Wazers their custom Waze icon as a physical bumper sticker.
The Concept:
Many of us take pride in our custom Waze icons, whether it's the default icon or one we’ve chosen to reflect our personality on the road. My suggestion is to send Wazers a free bumper sticker featuring their custom Waze icon, which they can…4 votes -
Let's do something with Waze points!
Hello Waze!
I wanted to ask what the plan is for the Waze points we're all collecting. I can't even seem to find what my current total points are.
Here's some suggestions:Create a Dashboard view for each user showing:
○ Total points from reports.
○ Total points from confirmations.
○ Total points overall.
○ Total for each report/confirmation type.
○ Total number of confirmations your reports have received.
○ Total # of states you've reported from.
Offer Waze swag as rewards for point levels reached like t-shirts, hats, window clings, travel mugs all featuring the Waze logo.

There are no streets near the destination - Map Problem
When we have a location registered in Waze or Google and there are no nearby streets that can route the user there, Waze displays the error: Could not locate end point
My suggestion is that Waze should map Google/Waze locations, identify those that are too far from a street, and create a Map Problem (MP) in the Waze map editor so that we can check whether the street needs to be drawn or whether to simply close the MP as unidentified.

Display addresses (street + house number) according to regional settings
The app assumes wrongly all countries display addresses like Americans do, like first the house number and then the street number, but in fact most Western countries use it the other way around:
Street name + house number
It seems Waze is American-centred as there is strangely enough after all these years no option to simply adhere to the local customs a country has.

Hospital as a Category
Hello! It occurred to me today as I tried to find the quickest route to the nearest emergency room that Waze might want to think about dropping “Drive-thru” from the category screen in favor of “Hospital.” At the very least, maybe users could be given the option to create their own categories?

Establish a Waze instance on Mastodon
With Twitter (X) becoming more and more unusable as a social media platform, some of us have migrated to other social media platforms to continue communicating about Waze. One such platform is Mastodon, which is part of a defederated network of social media servers that is gaining popularity, particularly among tech folks. If Waze could establish its own Mastodon server, then we could ensure that there is a dedicated space for us to spread the word about Waze, and it could be managed by the same folks that moderate the forums. To setup a server, you can start here: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/

Using previous traffic accidents to highlight dangerous corners, junctions and roads to warn drivers.
Maybe highlighting areas in red where there’s high accident rates or even putting a bouquet of flowers or something as a symbol for a previous road death. Making drivers more wary when entering a dangerous corner, junctions etc.
