User selected audio announcements
It'd be nice to be able to select what audio announcements are made. For example, not getting "candy" audio announcements, or http://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-client-how-can-we-improve-waze-on-your-phone-/suggestions/2359957-privacy-zone-stop-reporting-near-home-work-?ref=title

Show more navigation instructions when losing GPS signal
It would be nice if the client could show more than the next turn (on the screen) when driving by navigation and the GPS signal is lost.
The next turn is shown in green on the bottom left corner, and the 3 following driving instructions could show up in orange above this when GPS signal is lost.
If there is a speed cam between two of the next turns, is should also show up in this "navigation list".

Automatic switch between sleep and unsleep mode
It would be great (for saving autonomy) having a mode which turn the device screen into sleep mode (if Waze is active on the screen) and come back into active mode before some interesting action, such as a junction, an off ramp to drive, or eating roadgoodie. In the best case, the time the screen become active again would be dependant of speed.

Animal Alert on the Road
Good morning,
I would like to make a suggestion: in Portugal there are many abandoned animals that walk on the road, which is a danger for them and causes many accidents.
I would like there to be an "animal on the road" warning to warn drivers of the danger.
Thank you very much for your excellent work.10 votes -

Allow users to set routing preferences based on factors other than journey time
Waze comes up with some extraordinary routes to minimise journey time, but the best route is a combination of several factors. How about allowing users to set preferences for other factors such as shorter distance, minimising turns, best fuel consumption etc.

Enhancing Navigation by Selectively Considering Planned Road Closures
One possible solution could be to include a checkbox that allows editors to choose which planned closures are considered so important that they should be taken into account in the navigation before they become effective. This way, editors can select only the closures that are critical for navigation, while excluding those that are not as important.
For example, in Switzerland these days, the Gotthard Tunnel is closed at night for cleaning. This closure can cause significant disruptions to travel, as the Gotthard Tunnel is an essential link between German-speaking Switzerland and the Italian-speaking Ticino region. Without the tunnel, the detour would have to start much further away, causing much longer travel times and significant inconvenience.
If the closure starts at 10 pm, the navigation would strictly continue towards the Gotthard Tunnel until that time, only to then turn back shortly before the closure. This could be avoided if the planned closure could be taken into account in the navigation before it becomes effective.
A restriction would not pose this problem, but we would not have the flexibility to adjust the closure at short notice, as we would have to wait for the map update. That’s why it would be useful if the planned closures could be taken into account in the navigation before they become effective.
With the checkbox, it could also ensure that the end date is taken into account. For example, if the closure ends at 5am, navigation could start towards that closure beforehand. However, this can only be ensured with the checkbox, so that in case of an accident or an unclear closure end time, navigation is not initiated prematurely.

Add feature to differentiate between POLICE and POLICE SPEED TRAPS
Add feature to differentiate between POLICE and POLICE SPEED TRAPS

21:34 (8 minutes ago)
to Waze-Customer-Support, supportI would like to ask for the following feature to be added to make things clearer for UK drivers.
Add an additional notification icon for use in the UK which will allow us to distinguish between POLICE and POLICE SPEED TRAPS. UK drivers don't seem to understand that the POLICE icon is for POLICE SPEED TRAPS, and not just for whenever they see a POLICE car, and as they panic every time they see a police car they want to tell everyone else about it, and so assume that the POLICE icon should immediately be deployed. This is confusing because it does not indicate the presence of a speed trap. However, in the UK we also occasionally encounter actual police speed traps, or mobile speed detection radar or mobile speed cameras. It would be good if you would add this extra icon for POLICE SPEED TRAP so that we are able to differentiate between the mere presence of POLICE and the particular presence of POLICE SPEED TRAPS.

Suppress lane guidance announcement when turning lane is a single lane
Currently, on intersections with Lane Guidance mapped, for TTS voices, Waze announces the number of lanes that turn. For example, "Use the right 2 lanes to turn right".
My suggestion is that if there is only a single lane in the rightmost or leftmost position to perform the turn maneuver (whether it's a Keep, Exit, Turn, or U-Turn), Waze do not announce the "Use the right lane to turn right", or the "Use the left lane to turn left". If there are more lanes or more complex maneuvers, Waze keeps the lane announcments.
There are two benefits:
1) This shortens the announcement times - this is especially useful in urban areas where drivers may be requested to perform several turns in a very short distance/time
2) If there is a single lane to perform the turn maneuver, it should be obvious to the driver. Waze should announce only if the maneuver is not obvious.Note 1: I am making this suggestion to suppress the voice announcement only. This visual lane guidance will continue to be shown to the user.
Note 2: I am suggesting that the announcement suppression be performed for a turn with a single lane. So, if a particular intersection has 2 lanes turning left, but one lane turning right, the "Use the left 2 lanes to turn left..." announcement will still be announced, but the "Use the right lane to turn right..." announcement will be suppressed.

Trajectory control on CarPlay
It would be nice to have a progress bar for trajectory control on CarPlay, just like it is on the iOS app. The big popup with the close button, as it is now, does not make sense at all. Even better would be if you could see your average speed during the trajectory.

“Getting fuel/food” option if leaving the route, instead of being nagged to return to it
We just finished a two way cross country journey between Colorado and New Jersey. As usual we used Waze, and as always it was great. However, whenever we pulled off the interstate for any reason we were, of course, nagged with directions to get back onto it. I thought it would be really useful if a box could pop up where you could choose “stopping for fuel” or food, or rest break, so that the app would just pause directions
