  1. Add arrive button

    Sometimes when arriving at very large places, Waze thinks that you arrive only when you are in the front door of the place. Think for example in a mall, the parking lot will be huge, but Waze already traced the route until the front door.
    An "arrive" button will help Waze to understand that you are already at your destination and there is no need to recalculate the route while you are looking for a parking spot

  2. MORE navigation options, in addition to shorter time or distance

    I would LOVE for waze to have multiple options for routes. For instance :
    Standard options:
    - shortest distance
    - shortest time
    Standard avoids :
    - avoid toll roads
    - avoid highways

    New ones:
    - least turns
    - least traffic lights ;

    New avoiding routes:
    - avoid construction routes
    - avoid one lane streets
    - avoid streets with traffic moving slower than

    All of these should be able to mix and match and specify further details. For instance it would be great if it showed option to list trips within X percent of time to shortest time trip. It can…

  3. Turning notifications when screen off

    It would be great to have a turning notification with a full screen pop up when the screen is off. That can appear like 1 Km before turning and coming black when done. Keeping the screen always on like the smartphone is a navigator is a kind of waste of battery!

  5. Being able to report an incident from anywhere

    I would like the ability to report an incident from anywhere on the map. i.e. If I am driving down the road and I see an accident, but because I am driving, I am not able to report it at that moment. If I pull up to a red light, I would be able to zoom in on the map on the app and report it. I have tried to do this before, but, I just wound up reporting an accident of where I currently was instead of where I was zooming in on the map. I believe this is…

  8. unsafe streets

    It would be very helpful to know if you are entering to a dangerous area meaning like a ghetto or some place where is dangerous to be driving at certain time or know that you can get assaulted by knowing this you can change route to a safer one.
    Sometimes you get into streets that are very dangerous for saving some minutes on your route.
    Being able to report dangerous areas would be great and safer for driving.
    I know a lot of people talking about this on the city as an issue of waze.
    Not knowing where you are…

  9. Add the option to Refresh the Routes offered when in view, or Auto-Refresh them

    A few years ago I've asked for a quick button for showing alternative routes, which you've implemented, and for that I'm grateful.
    This time I want to ask that the list of Routes be continuously updated, either automatically, or with a "Refresh" button at the top.
    Most of the time when I drive to work I know the routes and don't need to look at the map, so I would like just the routes page to open - but it doesn't refresh and I need to keep going out of it and back into it to see the updates. It…

  11. Emergency Location Button

    I recently moved 900 miles to a new state. In case of an emergency I would like to know the closest intersection and/or coordinates of the road I'm on in order to report my location to 911, etc. I used to have a standalone GPS unit that had an emergency button to tap which provided these details I'm suggesting.

  12. visualização de radares

    Olá me chamo Carlos gostaria se for possível dar uma ideia, sobre radares.
    Quando se aproximar do radar além de avisar seria possível colocar em volta do desenho do radar uma faixa vermelha piscando, porque algumas vezes a forma que está não chama a atenção e eu percebo quando está muito próximo.
    De possível também colocar a velocidade permitida no local.
    Obrigado espero ter ajudado vocês, os usuários e a mim mesmo.

  15. Ability to edit the text-to-voice pronounciations

    While navigating, text-to-voice feature often pronounces abbreviations literally - eg 'univ' as 'univ', not 'university'. It also pronounces 'Ave' like 'wave' not the long 'a' in 'Avenue'

    Can map editors fix individual signs and navigation cues?

    (I'm a level 1 editor - so maybe this something that senior editors have access to)

  16. Wouldn't it be great to be able to exclude a freeway or particular road from your planned route?

    I already summed it up in the title, you kids are the pros.. But I would love to have more options for routes and options to avoid a freeway or major thoroughfare.

    Oh and just an irrelevant side note; that American woman's navigation voice, ug I can't listen to it. She sounds like your mean teacher from middle school- but the American guy is great.

  20. Rota off-line com as interdições existente.

    Olá, gostaria de propor que quando o waze estiver off-line, por qualquer que sege o motivo, que ele permanecesse com as informações de locais com interdição, as vezes cai a conexão e onde tem interdição, ele simplesmente ignora e da toda a rota errada, passando pelos locais com interdição, considerando que passe por locais com interdição, varias vezes ja aconteceu comigo, pensem nisso por favor, @renato-cpfl
