Rest Stop information
Could you either add rest stops, or allow us to report rest stops, as well as distance to the next one as reported/displayed?

Multiple stops in any order
Allow users to enter multiple stops in any order and auto calculate best route. Currently you can only add stops after selecting main route and choose if its near the destination. Ideally you should be able to enter as many locations as you want and waze would just map out the optimal route.

turn off photo request at destination
The "add photo" when you reach your destination is annoying, and unnecessary. Please give an option to disable.

Tasker intergration
Tasker is a automation system for Android based on profiles that contains states and actions.
For instance when Tasker sees the bluetooth in my car it begins to reject most calls, reads texts aloud me, and sends a automated reply. Currently that reply just says I will get back to them when I reach my destination. Waze knows that destination and my ETA. I would like to send that in the automated texts. I would also like for Tasker to be able to tell Waze a destination. Using this info it would also be possible for Tasker to do events if the ETA changes due to traffic, like send a text to my wife telling her my new ETA for coming home from work.
You could also have a event passed to Tasker like "Arrived at destination" and then have actions based on that.

Android Auto - Use Car Antenna
Right now, when connecting to Android Auto, Waze still uses the phone GPS antenna. In comparison, Google Maps pulls the location from the headset/car antenna, which is often placed optimally to maximize GPS signal strength from within the car.
Please set Waze to use the car's GPS antenna when connected via Android Auto

Alternate Route
Very frustrating when Waze updates the route with a bunch of turns,including a few difficult left turns, and it results in a time savings of a minute or two. Sometimes it doesnt save any time at all. I suggest an option were you can choose a time savings minimum before waze will take you off your current route. For example I would prefer to stay on my current, more direct route, unless a time savings of 5 min is available then please change my route.

Option to disable route recalculating alert. That nerve wracking chirp is driving me crazy!
Whoever approved that grating & obnoxious squawking route recalculation alarm should be fired. I drive a cab and even my customers cringe when they hear it and say "what's that awful noise". PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET US TURN IT OFF! Alerts only should mean alerts only. Hearing that damn noise screech and grate 5 times when I'm driving through a parking lot is maddening!

Different scoreboards for editors, drivers and forum
It has been noticed before that the Waze-community is divided between editors and drivers; editors being the users that earn most of their points by editing, drivers are those that earn most of their points behind the steeringwheel.
Currently, the scoreboard seems to be dominated by drivers - the topnotch of these are probably truckers, spending their live on the road, driving maybe thousands km per week, making up to 20.000 pts. There is nothing wrong with that, we NEED drivers, and I do not want to suggest that they do not earn their points.
But for editors these are hard times... you can spend, concentrated, hours per day doing all your good work for the Waze-community and still find you are outsmarted by someone who is earning his points as a sideeffect of the job he is doing - not a chance to win there, ever, because the scoreboard only shows the total of points gained by driving AND editing.
It could be an incentive for editors if there were a league for editors - that is, a scoreboard for the points gained by editing. That would make it possible to compare your editingefforts with those of other editors, rather than guessing where other users points come from.
I guess it also works the other way around, if drivers had their own scoreboard, they could compare to drivers.
And, come to think of it, there are also some points that can be gained in maintaining the forum. We could have a third league for that, too.
And ofcourse the current league should not be changed - an overall scoreboard like we have it now could still be justified.
To make competition even more fair, there could exist different leagues for countries WITH and WITHOUT a basemap, as a basemap changes the rules of the game completely.

Movable speedometer
Hold your finger on the speed gauge to move the speed gauge to a suitable location on your screen.
This would be very useful especially on a tablet or phones with big screens.261 votes -
Automatic start Waze when connect to car bluetooth (and turn off when blutetooth is off)
Automatic on/ off waze when connect to paired bluetooh adapter.

Hey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year. We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted. Thanks!

Upside-down interface
Without a car dock, the iPhone rides upside-down in my cupholder since the car charger plugs in the bottom of the phone. It would be awesome if Waze supported 180-degree rotation in addition to both landscape modes.

Quick report buttons
It would be a good idea to place some (2??) customizable quick report buttons on the main Map/interface; in such way we can report speed traps/ dangers/ police while we are driving with a single touch (or double to exclude unintended reports)!
There are too many menu/options to make a report... the only way to put them live is to stop the car and going trough a jungle of options... ( :geek: and I'm used to that! I'm an android user)

Allow option to use device's TTS voice synthesis
The Waze Android client has a decent sounding voice, but Android users can install 3rd party TTS apps. Please give us the option to choose to use the Android Text To Speech synthesis instead.

It would be great if the distance of the alerts was customizable - so that warnings could be provided earlier.
It would be great if the distance of the alerts was customizable - so that warnings could be provided earlier - maybe even by alert type so that constriuction alerts could be set at 20 miles - and police alerts at 1.

Camper option
Hi, I wanted to propose an option that is to be able to enter the measurements of the campers (W x H x D) in order to have specific indications. It would also make use of the collaboration of users in order to improve directions on the route. Unfortunately, the other satellite navigators are not as interactive as Waze. Thank you
