"Electricity" as "Preferred gas type"
I want to chose "electricity" as "Preferred gas type" (in Portuguese is "favorite fuel").

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.

Speed bump database
Good morning, I work at Uberaba City Hall, Minas Gerais, Brazil and I would like to know if Waze can make the speed bump location database available, either in .kmz or .shp format. We would like to have this data to control and better monitor these elements. Furthermore, I would like to know if there is a way to enter the location of these speed bumps into the application, as I noticed that not all of them were identified. Thanks

Speed signs on WME
a) I usually place comments (in the form of points) next to the track at the exact spot where there is a maximum speed sign, indicating the content of the sign (example: 80km/h). This helps me remember potential speed change points. It would be useful to have a layer that activates a visible icon on the WME map to display these signs, without needing to open the comment box.

b) It would be wonderful if Waze used A.I. to scan Google Street View and capture all relevant traffic signs, marking them on the map for verification and subsequent handling…

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.

Vehicle icons in settings
In settings, when choosing a vehicle icon, it would be nice if the icon was visible to preview without having to leave settings and returning to the map to view the vehicle. It's a lot of back and forth when trying to pick one, especially when new ones are added.

allow business owners to add/update their business information
As a business owner, I would like to be able to add/update my business information on the map editor (or any other tools) without having to ask some random user to allow me to do it.
