A navigation app with no compass is beyond stupid.
Why this thing still doesn't have a compass is beyond me. It's 2018 and you people dont know how to add a compass to a GPS app? The compass also should be turned on by default. Please don't make us go crazy searching through a ton of menus just to turn the damn thing on.
11 votesBy default compass is displayed on screen tap.
To always show it go to Settings – Map display – Quick access – Always on
In Map display settings it is also possible to lock North.

Uso de Waze dependiendo del tipo de Transporte
En muchos paises el tiempo de llegada a un determinado destino, varia significativamente dependiendo si vas en automovil o en motocicleta. Por lo que sería buenisismo que Waze preguntara al inicio el tipo de vehiculo que uno utiliza. Pues en un area de mucho trafico una motocicleta se moviliza mucho más rápido que un automovil. Y que esto sea considerado al momento de calcular la mejor ruta a un destino
8 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

Tolls
I wish there was a way to post falls that change told amounts the change based on traffic patterns. I 95 in Miami the tolls on the express lane change depending on traffic Volumes. sometimes or $.25 or $.50 sometimes they cost $10 I wish I knew what the price was

The ability to use coordinates
It'd be great to be able to take coordinates from Waze and send them via email OR copy them to another app. OR, be able to copy coordinates into Waze from a website or other app.

Precisa ter na tela a opção de avisar locais com radares fixos e tambem moveis.
Precisa ter na tela a opção de avisar locais com radares fixos e tambem moveis. Esta opção existia mas foi removida. Precisa ter. Pessoas estão reportando como Policia oculta mas isto é errado, precisa ser o report certo, até porque é errado avisar sobre policia uma vez que isso pode ajudar bandidos, enquanto que avisar sobre radar movel é perfeitamente lícito!

Make the speed limit bigger and permanently visible on screen. I don’t like having to make it appear by driving a little faster
Can you make the speed limit stay on permanently. And bigger. It’s too small and takes a number of seconds (eyes off road seconds) to glance down looking for it. When unsure of the speed limit in areas where it changes a lot then the only way to make it appear is to drive faster and look for what point it flashes up. This is not safe. I would love it to just be there all of the time.

Show map during location search
You should be able to enter a store name like "Home Depot" and be able to see locations around you on a map - not specific addresses. Everytime want to find something new around me have to go into another app to actually see its location on the map. Greatly decreases motivation to go back to Waze after that

Law
a law was created that we have to use the low beam on the roads even during the day. I would suggest an in-app notice to kindle the light when entering a highway. Thank you
Foi criada uma lei em que temos que usar o farol baixo nas rodovias mesmo durante o dia. Gostaria de sugerir um aviso no aplicativo para acendermos o farol ao entrar em uma rodovia. Obrigado

"Easy drive" mode
define the navigation logic so that it will skip narrow streets, traffic lights, stop signes, any road when the average speed is under 40 km/h etc. Allow for a 20% longer ride, but get me home fresh and not drained...

Add Buttons
Its difficult to give reports when one is driving at 120 km/hr. Users must be able to add buttons, similar to speed reading on the screen, where once can report by touch of a button. One should also have option to drag and place these buttons anywhere on the screen
I would add following to my screen when driving.
- Report Car on Shoulder
- Report Pothole
- Heavy traffic
- police (visible / Invisible.7 votesLong tap on Report button brings up 3 the most common report types.

Avoiding Traffic notification
Can you add a notification sound or announcement letting drivers know when Waze is avoiding traffic or hazards?
The reason is that sometimes Waze will prompt you to take a route that seems to make no sense, and I'm tempted to say no. If Waze would just say something like "Take the next exit, avoiding traffic," it would be much easier to understand why.

General Reminder

Localized Highway Shields (State & County Routes, etc)
In the U.S., each state has its own highway route number shield. Some states, like West Virginia, also have county route shields that differ from the state route shields. In Pennsylvania, a route like Route 28 would show the Keystone with a 28 on top of it.
A lot of effort is taken in WME to ensure the road names and turn-by-turn instructions match signage. Drivers would benefit by having the same highway shields in their Waze app as they will see on the highway signage as they drive.
Apple has already included this in Apple Maps. It should be…

need waze to tell me the turn after next, so I can set lane position properly when making the next turn
Waze will show/tell m the next turn to make, but before I get to it, I need to know what the turn after will be, to insure my lane position is correct for the coming turn.
