1. Commuter Check prepaid cards are not treating Waze as ride share program.

   Got a Commuter check(Edenred - mastercard) pre-paid card through company benefits. When enquired for Waze payment though that "they declined saying Waze is not in their merchant list to include as ride sharing program".

2. Add iPhone music player for songs stored locally in my iPhone, not just for songs in Apple Music premium subscription

   Currently, Waze for iOS/iPhone includes controls for Apple Music. But it only works if the user has a subscription to Apple Music. I have a lot of music that I own stored locally on my iPhone. But Waze cannot control the music player, unless it is controlling the paid/subscription Apple Music.

3. Data is NOT clear

   On Android auto app (new release) the data of distance and time to destination and time of arrival is NOT clear, and i think that the amount paid should be deleted (or put a special button for it)

4. Reference to a nearby street where the chances of finding free parking are greater

   I set a destination on Waze and when I arrived I discovered that it was a main street with no on-street parking while at a distance of 200-300 meters there were plenty of free or token paid parking on the street.
   In such a situation I would be happy to receive an offer from Waze when it detects that the destination is on a busy main road and offer a nearby streets with higher chances of finding parking.

5. since routes are not as short as possible, but influenced by nearby businesses who pay for it:

   it's time for a real neutral paid-for version of waze. I was very annoyed to figure out I'm lead to drive by businesses with ads instead of getting the shortest route. you should have been open and honest about it waze people...

6. Switzerland

   Hi, it would be helpul to implement a Switzerland specific option, because, there, motorways are paid by a yearly "vignette". And people driving only a few km per year on these motorways, for instance to go to Geneva airport from France, may be interested by an option "Avoid Switzerland motorways (vignette)". Indeed the already existing options "avoid motorways" and "avoid paying roads" are too drastic for a journey in other countries, too. In addition, this Switzerland option should be rather "simple" to implement (?) as you "only" need to flag the concerned motorways once and there is nearly nothing to maintain then.
   Thanks and Regards

7. Get rid of the Junk!!

   Lyft driver here. Real simple!! Get rid of shit that blocks the screen! Photos? Do you think I'm a tourist? Send someone ETA? WTF this phone and this app are for my convenience not theirs!!! The pop up that asks "Oh is this where you are going?" NO SHIT!!! Why don't you then ask, with a pop up that blocks the screen, Are you sure? OR, BETTER YET!

   How about every time I want some basic information like "I need to turn left in 20 feet " why don't you have the drivers answer a trivia question OR play a game of tic-tac-toe...

   I reported this to LYFT, because it seems that We're Somehow Partners now, and they replied... YEA, they made improvements ;:-/!
   
   WHAT???!!!

   Here Bless your heat, in a condescending tone, why don't you have a paid version for professional drivers! Strip out all the bull shit and help us do our jobs!!!

   But, big BUT, LEAVE THE OPTION to clutter the screen with as much stuff as you can advertise and leave talking head Barbie some room to sale stuff!!

8. Police Helicopter icon

   I was recently driving using waze and saw a police hazar ahead, the standard police icon, got to the location of the police icon and saw no police so started paid no attention what i noticed when i got the 300e speeding fine was that there was a police helicopter around the corner that was so high i didnt see....a police helicopter icon would fix this so it dosnt happen to other users.

9. Waze and EZPass rewards!

   I get frequent emails from EZPass that have my statements for the amount of money that has been charged to my card for passing through tolls.

   I drive through two tolls each day, and these rack up quite quickly, and can be a little bit of a burden on the wallet.

   What I thought would be a great idea is if Waze and EZPass connected somehow and offered some sort of reward where if you go through a certain number of tolls while using the Waze app, you get a free toll paid for by them.

   Even just one of these tolls paid through the many times I go through would lift a slight burden on the wallet knowing I'm saving some money by using an app and service I love and is convient.

   I think both Waze and EZPass would greatly benefit from this, as many people use both services everyday and are in similar in many ways, and would extend their customer and user bases.

   Currently not planned  ·  AdminElla (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

   Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

10. Make the app more configurable/customizable.

    Make the app more configurable/customizable. For example, reducing the waiting time for the New Route and Go Now buttons, as well as removing these confirmations to direct you to an address. For app drivers it would be of great value and saves shoulder/arm wear and tear for those who spend more than 10 hours a day using the app.
    A paid version would even be valid in Brazil to avoid unnecessary button presses.

11. Passenger mode

    So here's the deal: Waze is great bc it helps users find the best route and helps businesses let users know they are nearby. The problem is, drivers are (I hope) more focused on the road than the road, so a significant percentage of the paid ads go unnoticed. But there is a solution: make using waze fun for a passenger. Here's how to do that: enable a passenger mode (yes, I know, we can already select "passenger" but we all know that's legal bs) whereby they are engaged in the app playing a game with various advertisers, perhaps a augmented reality scavenger hunt or just using the map to find various places. This can be engineered so that around meal times eateries pop up to be found, or if the drive has been going on uninterrupted for a while, start finding gas stations. There are obviously limitless possibilities related to the concept.

    I hope you research it and make more coin:)

12. Play an audible ad instead of a visual ad.

    The ads are constantly popping up while in motion. When I'm trying to see a turn or exit from the interstate, it's a serious hazard. I've had instances where I have narrowly missed getting into an accident due to traffic being stopped over a hill on the interstate because I was trying to exit a popup to see the exit. I understand that with a free app there has to be a way to market additional functionality and other paid for user submitted information sectors but if it puts the user at risk, that is a serious liability to the user of the app and should really be redesigned not to endanger someone's life. I know there is concern there! There is red text that says don't type and drive. If you care about that, don't block the entire app with an ad for an additional service or company that has paid to have their app ran. Find a new way. Maybe an audible ad? I'd be willing to compromise for that 🤷‍♂️ but clogging the map with marketing while trying to safely navigate to a location is a great deal idiotic and self destructive.

13. Track my car's vitals; build database for community benefits

    This is a big idea, no small undertaking I know. I'd like to combine my GPS app with the functionality of an app like Gas Cubby, which tracks my MPG at every fill-up and alerts me when my car is due for maintenance.

    Here's how I envision it:
    -I tell Waze what car I drive: ex: 2003 Saturn Vue, 6 cyl, automatic
    -Every time I stop to fill up, I tell Was
    a) What my current odometer reads (waze should know how many miles I've driven in theory, but this is a checksum validation in case I forgot to open the app while driving a few miles)
    b) How many gallons I pumped
    c) What price I paid
    d) Waze automatically detects what gas station I'm at
    -This allows Waze to track my MPG and cost of driving
    -This also incentivizes wazers to use the gas price feature more often

    Waze can then go several directions:
    -Keep a database of real world avg MPG ratings for all sorts vehicles, a valuable database to have for people purchasing new and used cars.
    -Waze gets more accurate gas price database because people use the feature at every fill-up
    -Alert me of the best price of gas on my commute when it knows I'm low on gas (IE: it can tell I fill up on average every 300 mi, it starts suggesting places when I've gone 250 mi.)
    -I can request routes based on new factors: quickest, shortest, or most economical route (since it can learn my MPG in city vs highway driving... it's tracking all of it after all). In many case I find, the route that's going to take me an extra 3-5 minutes to drive is also the route that will save me money on gas, which is worth it to me; but not always. It's hard to tell and waze could compute this for me.
    -It can give an estimated cost of trip as well as ETA (EX: 20 mi to work, 26 minute ETA, $3.42 estimate cost of commute given current local gas prices and your driving habits and mpg)
    -It can also alert me of other maintenance items: oil changes, timing belts, fuel filters, even to check tire pressure every couple thousand miles.

    All of this would incentivize Wazers to leave the app open at all times when driving, whether they need directions or not, which in turn gives waze more accurate map and traffic date. This also gives a new aspect to the 'game' that is waze: I get to track and beat my own 'score' (mpg), and even 'beat' the avg MPG of other Wazers with my vehicle type.

    I've been looking for a GPS that does all this for a long time, and there isn't a good one. Waze has the best chance of becoming that. I know it's a big request, but I think it would be amazing.

14. A smartphone app that looks for free Parking spots

    The app is a paid app. The user pays 120 tokens per year. For this, he receives information about the locations of free Parking.
    The use of the information about free Parking you have to pay 1 token. The token is debited from the account automatically when the user is declared by the application location. When the user leaves the location, then the location is considered to be free. The information that the user has left the place, can be read with the help of geolocation.
    Every time the user finds somewhere free Parking, ihe can inform the app. If location someone takes, who pays for that badge. Half of the token to the user, half – owners of the application. Thus application pays for itself quickly.
    In the long term – the use of drones that will look out for the free Parking lot.

15. WAZE navigation system could be adapted to the nation's railroad netword where it could become a new-technology Positive Train Control.

    Railroad Safety: a Ten Billion Dollar Boondoggle
    Carl E. Nash, Ph.D.
    Derailments and collisions between trains are spectacular. Their economic and environmental consequences are considerable and they kill and injure people. In response, over the past forty years, pressed by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and Congress the railroads have been implementing Positive Train Control (PTC) systems to reduce the potential for these crashes.
    Actually, U.S. railroads are quite safe for passengers. An average of only 5 people die in train crashes each year: slightly more than are killed in motor vehicle crashes in an hour. The number of serious injuries among train occupants is similarly low. On the other hand, nearly 700 “trespassers” die annually after being struck by trains while on or near railroad tracks and about 100 more are killed in vehicles struck by trains at grade crossings. These casualties are a consequence of two challenges: trains cannot be stopped quickly and it is difficult to keep people away from railroad tracks. PTC will do nothing for those struck by moving trains.
    The nation’s railroads and the FRA have spent about $10 billion on a variety of PTC systems and will apparently spend a few billion more to complete them. According to the FRA: “PTC systems are integrated command, control, communications, and information systems designed to prevent train accidents by controlling train movements with safety, security, precision, and efficiency.”
    Railroad transportation in the U.S. matured a century ago. Train dispatch, safety, maintenance, and such were mostly developed in the 20th century. More recent technologies are mostly used to provide an electronic substitute or enhancement of what had been done by hand. Modern communications are generally used as a substitute for the telegraph or telephones. It is an important, but hoary industry in desperate need of a 21st Century overhaul.
    Road users have the advantage of well-developed, real time, satellite-based navigation systems. There is no such unified system for railroads. Instead, the railroads are wasting their and the government’s money on ten duplicative, but not particularly compatible PTC systems that require very large numbers of expensive, high maintenance, and probably unreliable trackside sensors to monitor the position and speed of train sets. Since railroads regularly use each other’s’ tracks, this duplication is bizarre. Implementation of PTC has been delayed for years, at least in part because of the cost to complete it.
    
    The WAZE/Google navigation system provides not only information on where roads go, which can be used for trip planning, it also monitors traffic to show what the most rapid route is likely to be. It does this by monitoring, through satellite communications, the behavior of vehicles using this navigation system to determine areas of road congestion or other problems.
    
    Adapting this system to railroads would be relatively easy. WAZE/Google could substitute a map of the rail network for the road network and show the appropriate speed limit on all stretches of track as well as switch positions. This would be used to warn engineers if they are operating in a dangerous manner. In the event that an engineer ignores this warning, the receiver in the locomotive could automatically apply the train’s brakes.
    
    As with the highway system the positions and speeds all locomotives using the system, as determined using GPS, along with the positions of all switches in the system and the location of maintenance operations, could be sent through satellite to a central control where it would be monitored to determine the potential collision between trains.
    There are roughly 27,000 locomotives, some thousands of additional train sets not pulled by locomotives, and 140,000 miles of track in the United States. The cost of installing equipment to send and receive signals, for navigation, and for computer-based automatic braking would be less than $5,000 per locomotive and per switch for a total less than three hundred million dollars. (The cost of a real-time navigation system, along with automatic braking is less than $1000 per motor vehicle.) Software for adapting the highway navigation system to PTC and establishing a central control to warn of collisions would cost less than $100 million. Thus, an estimate of well under a billion dollars for all of the PTC hardware and software to implement a new, navigation-based PTC system seems reasonable. This is considerably less than the cost of completing the current PTC systems and could be paid by a consortium of railroads. If the will were there, it should not take more than about a year to implement this new system.
    A modern PTC could also become a basis for a more modern approach to railroad scheduling and management that could reduce costs and ensure more efficient use of the rail network. It could replace the current, antiquated, inefficient block system for regulating the use of rails. Because of industry competition and anti-trust considerations, it may require Congressional action to force national cooperation in establishing a unified 21st Century PTC system.
    The current approach to railroad safety is out of date and makes little sense. It lacks a rational connection with the reality of how most people are killed and injured in connection with railroads and the availability of effective technology. It results in ridiculous spending on what, at least in terms of human losses, is a relatively minor problem.
    PTC based on the technologies used for road navigation could substantially reduce human, equipment, and other losses from collisions and derailments. These savings would be sufficient to pay for the 21st century system based on the Google navigation system. It would also be an excellent business opportunity for WAZE/Google. The fact that billions have already been invested in PTC is irrelevant to the question of how the railroads should proceed with PTC. It must abandon the current wasteful development and start with a fresh approach as outlined herein.

    I am an avid fan and frequent user of waze. literally anywhere and anytime I am planning a route I use waze, and I always suggest and inform people about its benefits. But Yesterday we had a very bad experience using it.
    Our trip was from Vaduz to Grindelwald (Switzerland)
    Waze always alarms about C- Zones, Toll roads at the beginning of choosing the route, ... and it did the same about vignette but the confusing thing is that it did not say that we have to select our type of pass from the list to avoid narrow and minor roads.
    My assumption was that it is just an informative alarm like always, so as we already had our vignette pass we ignored it. but now am sure that the assumption of the app was that we do not have it so it should provide us with alternative routes. Which was much longer, minor roads and also country lanes( which barely 2 motorbikes could pass each other), extremely hazardous, especially in rain and fog condition, which very much endangered our lives. The level of stress we experience was very unnecessary as from yesterday till now we are dealing with the fear and we cannot enjoy the holiday we planned and paid for.

17. Add warnings for PCN camera traps (mainly London)

    Like speed cameras, add PCN cameras (Moving Traffic Cameras) to Waze warnings please!!

    Over lockdown there've been several strange changes made to how traffic is allowed to use certain roads in London.
    Camera traps have sprung up all over the place to catch people out. These cameras give fines for using roads in ways which used to be totally acceptable before lockdown. Issuing £65+ fines for using a roads in what is suddenly the wrong direction, end to enter certain roads from, time of day, parking and so on.

    None of these changes in these roads use have anything to do with public safety they're just out to make money.
    I've been caught twice in the space of 2 weeks using roads which were always free, non restrictive, access a year ago. The signage is there but it's hard to break habits of a lifetime and from speaking to several Uber drivers who are on London's roads every day for a living I know the increase in these cameras in highly unusual places has had a massive impact on their income. They don't get paid a lot really and they don't get any kind of reduced fine just because they're drivers for a living.

    I think Waze would see an even bigger uptake in popularity if these camera traps were highlighted on their maps.

    Two examples are 'Manor Place Junction Braganza Street' in Southwark and 'Binfield Road' in Lambeth.

18. More features with a small payment

    A lot of us rely on waze to move the most efficiently possible from one point to another. But Id love to be able to set specific things that currently aren't included in the waze app. If I needed to pay an annual symbolical fee to get personalized features, id be happy to pay it. Things like:
    - avoid certain streets, avenues, or routes.
    - tell waze exactly where im now!! it's really frustrating waze believes you are in certain road when you are in a parallel one (to a side, elevated or underground).
    - guerrilla routes! Id love to tell waze, "I need to get there no matter what, in *** time! give me the route even though i need to take a little risk (a forbidden u turn, a small opposite direction to get to the street and avoid a big round or a lot of traffic), etc. Its my risk, its my decission, I just need the options.
    - deep search... I believe the search of alternative routes in waze and in google maps, is kind of superficial... how can I know it? because when i take the route I already know, different than the options waze gives me, sometimes waze calculates or the similar ETA or maybe better ones! so with a deep search feature id love waze to give me lot more options so I can choose the best for me.

    • More exact gps. it goes along with the previous suggestion, sometimes you are not going through certain road but in a parallel one and waze doesn't know and you cant tell!!! frustrating!!! maybe if we pay a little, you could offer a more accurate gps location???

    • I know that the worst the traffic and people using the app, the more slower to refresh, thats my perception. Sometimes waze has registered a lot of traffic in certain moment but in real time (maybe 5-10 minutes of difference) it already has changed! In countless occasions I visually see the traffic waze wants me to avoid, is not there anymore. Maybe with the paid version it'll be more refreshed in real time.
