  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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"

  4. Simplify removing a destination from drive history

    Sometimes you need to remove a place from drive history and search again before getting an updated pin for routing.

    Per a thread in Discuss, sometimes you have to remove navigation history from your Privacy settings to get rid of all history of a place.

    Removing a destination from drive history should remove it from the app completely in one step. You shouldn’t have to navigate through settings to Privacy then Recent locations to remove it.

    "Drive suggestions logic is handled by a server, not by a mobile device. Once the server saved the location name (before changing it in…

  5. 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…

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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!!!

  10. 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…

  11. 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…

  12. Improve prompts for U-turn

    Currently when Waze gives a U-turn instruction the voice prompt is "Make a U-turn ON [name of street you are on]. The problem with this is everyone knows that a U-turn is "ON" the street you are on. However, the driver does not know WHERE to make the U-turn. Map editors routinely see Update Requests where the driver was given a U-turn instruction and thought the turn was at a different intersection than where Waze was instructing them to make the U-turn.

    What would actually help the driver is if Waze informed the driver WHERE to make the U-turn. The…

  13. 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…

  14. 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.

  16. 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.

  20. Accept all possible formats of GPS coordinates as destination

    Let's do Waze more user friendly when entering GPS coordinates.
    It would be nice if Waze would accept all possible formats of GPS coordinates (many www maps produce different formats of coordinates - usually with N/S, W/E letters - it is not user friendly always think how to transalte them into the only one current supported format...
    I can imagine, that when using N/S, W/E letters even order of the longtitude and latitude can be switched, etc...
