  1. Warn about slowing traffic ahead

    Please add a feature to warn of s lowing traffic ahead.

    When driving on the freeway, waze knows where we’re going, if the traffic is much slower ahead, a warning about slowing traffic would be very helpful and provide greater safety.

  3. Police speed trap trends

    Instead of only showing current police speed traps, have a toggle options for where police tend to sit and wait. "police hot zone" kind of idea. "police have been reported at this time for the last three days" kind of warning. This will not only help avoid tickets, but get people to slow down in the more "dangerous" areas

  4. Check time based turn restrictions during recalculation

    Waze doesn't seem to take time based restrictions into account as it recalculates. When you start the drive it might be OK to make a turn, but a 5 minute delay would make the turn illegal. As Waze updates the ETA it should also check that turns remain legal.

  5. Hazard alert confirm/deny

    Keep the hazard alert thumbs up or down option on screen just a bit longer (don't start it so early if you want to keep the length of time posted the same). Right now, the option disappears about a tenth of a mile before I can confirm or deny the alert. At least keep it up until we pass the site of the hazard.

  6. Distance to drive after a turn

    After a turn, it'd be nice if the distance before the next turn is said. something like "turn right and go straight for 5 miles"

  7. Stop navigation once you're "close enough" to the destination

    Waze should have an option where it stops trying to re-route once you're close to the destination, especially when it is not possible to actually drive to the exact entry point for whatever reason.

    Context:

    I've got someone who has brought up routing issues to their destination a few times, and at least two or three local editors have made various changes. They now again have been saying that once they arrive, Waze wants them to exit the parking lot again, and make a huge detour just to return again to where they are already located.

    I am convinced this…

  8. Adapter le trajet et la vitesse pour la conduite accompagnée

    Bonjour, pourquoi ne pas ajouter une fonction incluant la conduite accompagnée pour éviter les routes les plus difficiles et modifier les limitations de vitesse en fonction de la vitesse maximum. Par exemple : lorsque la limitation est de 130 km/h, la limitation de vitesse pour la conduite accompagnée est de 110km/h.

  9. Search along my route

    When searching for a restaurant when I'm en route, don't tell me about the restaurant 2 exits behind me, tell me about the ones ahead and along my route. Maybe suggest a place along my route in an estimated time frame. i.e., look for a place to eat lunch between noon and 1p or breakfast at around 7am
    Similar look ahead for hotels or stores.

  10. Create School/Daycare with Home/Work Default Favorites

    Every weekday I drive from home to child's school to work. Then reverse. Every weekday morning Waze asks me "Going to Work?" I'm going to school then work, so NO! Every weekday evening Waze asks me "Going Home?" I'm going to school, then home, so NO again! Everyday! Will you please, add another default favorite for school or daycare!!!

  11. Speedometer Contrast Issue

    In reference to speedometer contrast issue during daytime. Black and Red too similar for daytime glare. At night it is sufficient, perhaps have a daytime contrast theme separate from night-time.

  12. Mudança na tecnologia 3G deixa Waze "maluco" sem GPS, nos forçando a desligar o 3G de diversas operadoras do Brasil

    Todos brasileiros que estiverem enfrentando problemas no GPS de seus aparelhos por culpa de mudanças na tecnologia 3G que as operadoras vem realizando de 2015 para cá, por favor somem-se a mim votando para que a Waze interceda junto às companhias telefônicas para corrigirem ou apresentarem alternativas a este problema.

    A maioria dos usuários simplesmente vem deixando de usar o Waze, por acreditar que seja problema no aplicativo, quando o problema na verdade é algum conflito do GPS (qualquer outro app que use terá o mesmo problema) com mudanças que vem ocorrendo na tecnologia 3G.

    Afirmo com segurança que o…

  13. Truck Driver friendly

    I would love to see a truck driver (class A and class B) friendly to where truck drivers can see height of bridges and the maximum weight capacity it holds. This would open up some much more interest for people and increase usage. My spouse hates google maps and Apple Maps because they never work for him he loves wazes but wishes it incorporates truck drivers. Please take this into consideration I would appreciate it so much thank you.

  14. Repertorier les ralentisseurs.

    Identifier les routes où les ralentisseurs sont nombreux et permettre le choix d'un itinéraire sans ralentisseurs.
    Tout le monde y gagnerait.
    Les conducteurs de voitures surbaissées passeraient ailleurs et le trafic se répartirait sur plusieurs itinéraires.

  15. CarPlay update

    Waze is super useful in car over my cellphone (iPhone)
    However, once plugged into my car with CarPlay, the experience is worst that ever. In fact, the CarPlay interface of the app does not support all functions offered in the mobile version such as :
    1. Unable to signify a fixed radar photo
    2. Unable to specify the police specification (visible, hide, opposite side)
    3. Unable to launch a SOS and so on
    In fact, the types of available notices is so small.

    In addition, you can’t find a gas station easily as in the app cause you don’t have…

  16. Áreas de Risco, postos de combustível e estacionamento

    Sugestão para:
    1-Permitir marcarmos área de risco. Vez ou outra o waze manda entrar em Comunidades e ruas perigosas;
    2-Na configuração disponibilizar "mostrar no
    Mapa", postos de combustível e estacionamentos.

    Sobre área de risco, essa semana uma atriz da globo teve o carro baleado com percurso numa área perigosa.

  17. Better navigation - height width weight

    Please add three values to segments, maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight. All segments should default to 0.

    Please add user settings of maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight. They should default to 0. The label should direct the user to enter their height/width in metres and weight in tonnes.

    When reviewing a navigation route, check if there is a value of maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight exceeding 0. If there is a value, cross-check the users maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight is lower.

    If the users value is higher than the segment value, disregard that segment as a navigation option.

    This would help users of a wide range of…

  18. Use Traffic Light as Reference to Turn

    Tell users where to make a turn such as "at the light" or "the next light" like Apple Maps. This is better than suggesting to turn in # of miles.

  20. Parking Lots Should Complete Navigation to a linked Place

    Many Parking Lots were created with the big push a few years ago but never had much use other than the ones flagged as Public for downtown type parking areas.

    For restricted type parking lots that only serve a single place, once a user enters the parking lot for the place, navigation should complete.

    A link would need to exist between the parking lot area and the place point/area.

    This would create a usefulness to these parking lot areas that were created, as currently they simply are clutter on the map and serve generally no purpose.
