How Far Is 1,000 Feet???
Stop using 1,000 feet to describe every single next turn coming up. We don’t know how far that is. Use “three stoplights” or some other descriptor! Please!

Critical Improvement on navegation _ stop signs on track!
Waze gostaria de recomendar uma melhoria simples e de alto impacto: a indicação nas rotas exibidas do sinal de "Pare" em cruzamentos em que a mão preferencial não é a do motorista.
Alguns motoristas dirigem olhando o GPS quando estão próximos de alguma entrada e acabam usando visão periférica pra ver se há carros na frente sem observar maiores detalhes... como a placa de "Pare", que muitas vezes está escondida.
E vocês sabem isso mais que eu (eheh), mas pra mapear é fácil... Uma vez que todo cruzamento do mundo tem a definição da via preferencial e, que os carros…

More re-routing flexibility
I would love to specify how open i am to re-routing before a journey - i.e. being able to choose ‘reroute automatically - get me there ASAP’ or ‘don’t reroute without confirmation - prefer my route where possible.’
Why: I drive a specific one of two ways out of my city when taking a long journey because while the other road is technically faster if you drive at the speed limit it is also dangerous and has poor surface conditions. This means in reality it is slower and stressful. If I do not manage to cancel the re-routing in time,…

Allow Preference for Open Road Tolling (no more "Exit Cash Lanes" directions)
I'm getting very tired of being told to "Exit to Cash Lanes" only to be navigated right back onto the same tollway. Best I can figure, Waze is trying to avoid you getting a ticket for driving through open road tolling areas (at least here in northern Illinois on I-294) by telling you to exit to cash lanes, but there should be an option to tell Waze you have a transponder and are good to go for open road tolling (and the app will stop telling you to exit at every open road tolling area).
The problem with just ignoring…

Waze share the drive with a friend.
Share a drives destination with a friend or friend group, where everyone could see others in their navigation map.
And other friends could ether suggest or set a new destination to everyone. This could be acomplished by setting a user level within the group.
Also would be cool to have option to make these groups multiple and enable or disable them.2 votes -
Stop intentionally mis-routing
Why, with I search for "costco gasoline" do you intentionally return other gas stations? You sent me to a bad part of a city I am not familiar with to a gas station that WAS NOT COSTCO!!!
Are you being paid for redirects? Why do you do that? Is it possible for you to stop?2 votesThanks for reaching out.

Refresh cached destinations
Waze should auto-refresh cached destination locations periodically, for example every 90 days.
Wazers routing to a prior destination that has been updated are still routed to the old location, because Waze caches the location on the device.
Wazers are routed to closed businesses. When a Wazer requests a location update and an editor updates it, the Wazer will still be routed to the wrong location, unless they manually go through and clear out the destination.
Often after an editor updates a Wazer's home address, the Wazer submits multiple reports that it wasn't updated, because the Wazer didn't clear the address…

Can you make it so that the navigating voice has a rude/profane setting?
I think it would be quite funny if the Waze navigator had more personality. If I miss a turn, let it scold me. I want it to cuss at me and make fun of my driving. I would never stop laughing. PLEASE make this happen.

Landscapes near you and you did not know about their existence
On an excursion in Europe between Germany and Austria and Switzerland, we reached our destination, like any destination. But it is also important to enjoy the road and breathtaking scenery. Sometimes it's worth stopping for a moment .. (That's how the idea came about)
Sharing landscape photos (located on / near the route I'm going through) of users will help those who do not know the area, reach the landscape that is on my route. Stop for a moment and watch from the vehicle and then continue on a trip
It will be possible to operate it as a feature…

Stop Drive button when pressing back button in android
I hope this email finds you well. As an avid user of the Waze app, I appreciate the features it offers for navigation and traffic updates. However, I'd like to suggest an improvement to the user interface that could make the navigation experience even more seamless.
When using Waze in "explore mode," there is no blue route line, which is great for browsing the map and selecting destinations. However, when a route is started and the app switches to "navigation mode," pressing the Android OS "arrow back" button only offers two options: "cancel" or "shutdown". While I understand there are…

Fix the calculation for stopped traffic
Very often, in heavy traffic, Waze will claim a backup adds a few minutes when in reality it adds a few hours. The code for maroon levels of traffic is beyond poor and needs to reflect actual backups. Waze very often will reroute you I to these and add hours to your trip

Readd the autozoom disable funtion
The autozoom disable function was removed in the last update. I am very disappointed with this. I never used autozoom and I am not a fan. I like to stay zoomed out so now I am fighting with the app every few minutes. Please return this function. I am not the type to makes threats to stop using something but I researching other navigation apps to avoid doing this. Or at least let me set the zoom function (how far to zoom in and out and at what speeds). I could set it all consistently if I don't want it…

Adding a stop after update...where did my dual ETA go?
I use the "add a stop" feature a lot during my travels. Since the latest update, I can no longer see the ETA for my final destination after the stop. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Anyone else noticing this?

Stop talking as soon as I press Stop
If I press Stop to stop the navigation while Waze is providing driving directions, stop talking immediately. Don’t finish the current driving direction. I pressed Stop, which means I don’t want to hear it any more.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.
