The new version doesn't have an option to have location setting to be on only while the app is open. I will not use until this is solved :(
please turn this option off. I have downloaded other directional apps because waze wants my location on all of the time and drain my battery and it doesn't work well with my OCD seeing that compass arrow on . I love waze but this is a bit overkill.

Offer the choice of motorcycle as the vehicle, because in the city we are faster than car.
The bike is faster than car in urban traffic. We disrupt statistics and info-traffic

For Roadkill, Use a Deer head Icon with X's on his eyes
It would be great if you could have a picture of an animal like a deer (everywhere in Ohio) with X's on his eyes indicating he is dead. Funny too.
2 votesA poor little hedgehog with X’s on his eyes currently used as a Roadkill icon seems representative enough.

Help calculate ETA based on passive speeds of fellow Wazers
I'm not sure if it's already exists or not... But I'm wondering how calculations are done in terms of "estimated times of arrival"?
Is Waze passively tracking and analyzing the speed data from other Wazers while driving?
For instance, if everyone on the highway is doing 75 or 80 miles an hour ahead of you, Waze should be able to use those analytics to create a more accurate ETA.
Instead, I often find myself driving and arriving sooner than the ETA because traffic dictates driving a bit faster so as not to be unsafe.
Additionally, this could also share an…

Toll Prices
It would be nice if we could have a Toll Prices option. Low-under $3; Med - $3 to $5; High over $5. This could prepare other Wazers for how long they would be in traffic if the toll is too high to take the toll lane. Thank you for considering this option.

custom language
Use a pattern of sounds, pings, dings etc. as an alternative to language navigation instructions. For example, instead of saying "in 300 feet, turn right" - provide a moderate-high frequency "ding" sound, which repeats 3 times. It should be carefully designed using expert sound engineers and be reviewed by users. You want it to be minimal and effective and obviously not annoying. After getting used to it, drives will find that they need less attention to process audible signals.
2 votesVoice recording tool is available in Waze, so you’re welcome to create your own voice instructions.

In Brazil why in the waze, the highways have no speed limit, tax to use de road and values?

2- Why toll location in the map don't have (local do pedágio)?
3- Why don't allow include/change the prices for use the road (toll price)?

I would love to have speed limits added to the app. It would help avoid traps. Because knowing a cop is ahead doesn't help Without it
I would love to see the speed limit added to the app with an alert letting you know it is about to change! Because knowing a cop is ahead doesn't no good if there is a speed cage over a hill and the cop is setting there! There are traps set up like this all over. And this would eleminate small town traps.

When Waze is not in use but is apparently still tracking my route in the background, it calls out the upcoming hazards even though I don't have the app in use. I have to set it to no sounds while I'm driving to get it to be quiet. Can there be a setting that turns off the voice when the app is clearly not in use?

record my present location like favorite
now it's difficult to add favorites.
I think, it's would be great to be able to add our location like a new favorite location.
People are use to be in their favorite locations2 votesThis can already be done today…
On touch screen you have to do a long press on your location (or any location on the map) and you will see the option to save it.
On non-touch you just need to hit the main button (usually “OK” or “enter”) and this will allow you to save the location.If you feel like this description is not good enough, please write to alpha@waze.com

Suggestion for New Waze Feature - Avoid Bad Roads
Hey Waze Community,
I've got an idea for a feature that could make our driving experience even better, especially for those of us dealing with bumpy roads in the north.
How about a "Avoid Bad Roads" option on Waze? Our roads often get rough due to changing seasons, and it takes a while for the city to fix them. With Google's advanced sensing capabilities, why not use that data to detect road conditions like bumps and potholes?
This feature could help us choose routes that prioritize smoother rides. Additionally, we could have a city-specific ranking system highlighting the worst road…

Bathroom Finder on Route
Have an obvious button and/or a voice command to display (and when selected, route to) public bathrooms along your route. In settings, you should be able to select categories, like "rest area," "gas station or restaurant with restrooms," and distance from route (either in time or miles), etc. in order to establish a default search and display when the "show restrooms" switch is toggled.
1 voteSearch by key words would help here. Just type “Restroom” or “Toilet” and Waze will find the locations nearby.
