1. Distance units

   The Waze client appears to use three types of unit for distance reporting, miles, decimal fractions of miles and feet.

   In the UK we generally use two units for road distance, miles and yards. We do not measure road distance in feet, I measure the size of my bedroom in feet but not the length of my road.

   Also "point one miles" doesn't mean a lot to me or many other people I'd imagine, not to mention that it is shockingly poor grammar.

   Please can we have a UK units option, that supports miles, half a mile and yards. Thank you.

2. Count TURNS, not distance to the next turn

   when people give directions to each other, naturally they will say 'on the 2nd turn, take a right turn'.
   We are better at counting turns, than meters or miles...
   if Waze could do the same, instead of 'in 500m turn right', it would be great

3. To mark street - Kids are playing

   Dear Waze Maps,

   My friends and I have come across a problem. This problem is kids playing on a community road/street. This presents a risk to kids , drivers , and property. For example , a kid who is playing on the road could get injured by a car hitting him/her. The car could also swerve and hit another car , injuring the driver and/or car. Another possibility is for the car to hit property like : signs , decorations , houses , or light posts.

   A person who is familiar with the road usually doesn't use Waze maps , but is familiar with the roads with kids playing and ones without. An unfamiliar person usually uses Waze maps and doesn’t know which roads kids play on and which roads kids don’t play on. This means unfamiliar people who use Waze maps are more likely to have an accident.

   Since unfamiliar people use Waze maps , we propose to add a verbal and visual warning of kids at play. People can add warning for roads as they do with slow downs or objects on the road. Then other’s cars who come on the road will be warned by the verbal voice and a visual aid on the maps.

   In conclusion , we propose a visual and verbal warning in the app Waze Maps for children at play. This can help prevent child, car, and property damage and/or injury. Thank you and have a nice day.

   Sincerely

   Priyanshu , Yash , Pranav , Ashrith , and Nithin

   On the roadmap  ·  AdminElla (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

   We plan to work on marking the street with playing kids in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

4. Automatically switch off 'Record new road' feature

   As an area manager, it is a headache to keep deleting small segments of road alongside existing roads, caused by GPS inaccuracies where a user has left the 'record new road' feature switched on. I think it would be a good idea to have the client automatically switch off the feature if the user has been travelling on an existing road for a set period of time, for example, 2 minutes.

5. Matt Berry Voice Navigation

   Matt Berry Voice Navigation

   Esteemed actor, musician, performer, and artist, Matt Berry, would make a stupendous addition to the Waze program and community. With a confident, sultry, and seductive presence, Matt Berry would guide thousands of drivers to their destinations in the comfort of his soothing, tenor voice.

   We, the people, recognize that Matt Berry is busy with his numerous endeavors and that Waze has countless features they strive to add to an already vigorous navigation system. It is with this in mind that we humbly suggest a few lines pulled from his revered catalog of work along with new ideas to both expedite the process and carry some of the load of this chivalrous endeavor.

   --
   (Turn is missed)

   "You cocked it up! Make a uuuu-turn."

   "In a quarter of a mile, keep right"

   (While keeping right)

   "Yes!"

   "Red light bloody camera reported up ahead."

   "Don't drive on the grass, smoke it!"

   "Buckle up."

   (Pause followed by a hushed town)

   “And don’t forget to tip your hooker.”

   “Up, periscope!”

   (Upon arriving at destination)

   “Abandon the vessel immediately.”

   “Turn right.”
   (Makes turn correctly)

   “Ooh, yes. You handle like a fit stallion.”

   I have no doubt that this brilliant community along with Matt Berry's endless fan base can make further suggestions in what could be an inspirational achievement.

7. Remove permanent "where to" and "my Waze" fields when phone is horizontal.

   I use Waze with my phone in a horizontal/landscape position. All is good if I set a location target and use Waze to guide me to it. But I sometimes I like to see the traffick volume without setting a destination. In this mode, Waze takes up a third of my map display with the "where to" and "my Waze" fields. I should be able to turn those off or they should auto disappear.

8. Calculate the best route based on both shorter time and distance. Not just one of them.

   I prefer the fastest way, but only when it is reasonable.
   I can never trust the option automatically suggested for me and I always find myself checking the routes. In many cases I switch to the second option.
   For example:
   Option 1: 49 minutes, 58 Km
   Option 2: 50 minutes, 47 Km
   I would rather spend 2% more time than spend 21% more fuel...

   Most people would prefer spending another minute in this case. Why do we always have to bother going to the routes to find out.

   The user can select his preference for either shortest or fastest way but I want the fastest way that is still reasonable.
   Let us define the time/distance trade-off we prefer, or at least define a reasonable hard-coded default.

14. Toads on roads

    In the spring – March, April – when driving along ponds, lakes or rivers, toads migration is observed on the roads. To reduce the death of these amphibians, Nature Conservation Agency is organizing the “MISSION TOAD” or "TOADS on ROADS" campaign in Latvia. It is known that WAZE could inform other drivers about animals on the road some time ago. But currently it is not possible to report it. Could this function be returned? It would be a great contribution to the preservation of natural values.

15. Route away from schools at pickup & dropoff time

    We've been noticing an increasing amount of Waze traffic near our local elementary school. It is dangerous for the kids who are biking to school (and not yet as reliable as adults) -- we have had three kids hit by cars in our small city so far this year. And I'm sure it is annoying for drivers -- we've seen a lot of folks swerving around slow cars etc.

    I would love to be able to tell Waze the pickup and dropoff windows for our school, and have it automatically route away from the school (and ideally nearby streets).

    Maybe use the FHA road classifications for school safe and bike safe roads to know which roads to route away from.

16. Waze Support for the Parrot Asteroid

    The Parrot Asteroid is a great car stereo based on android, however the unique nature of the device limits it's online apps to those that specifically support it. Currently the Asteroid has no turn by turn navigation. Waze's powerful mapping and reporting features would greatly benefit users of the Parrot Asteroid and raise awareness for both Parrot and Waze.

17. "Open in Waze" - modify the Waze code so a user can click and hold on an address and be given the option to "Open in Waze" for navigation.

    "Open in Waze" (or "Navigate to in Waze") would merely allow the user to click and hold on an address in their phone and be given the option to open the address within Waze itself.

    A user currently can open an attachment in an email in numerous different downloadable programs. The same is true for address which currently default to the Maps app. It would be nice to see the same integration with Waze.

    Then, whenever a person receives a text, email, or other message with an address within it, the user would be able to click and hold on that address and select the option to "Open in Waze". From there Waze would either display that address with the option to navigate to said address, or would begin navigation automatically. Either way, it would be one more step towards making Waze even easier to use for entering destinations.

19. Enhance speed display color scheme

    It would be easier to assess speed with more informative color coding:

    White = below speed limit
    Green = speed limit
    Yellow = between speed limit and user-defined "when to show alert" speed
    Red = exceeding user-defined "when to show alert" speed

    Keep current warning with briefly displayed larger speed limit reminder

    Great app, thank you!

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

    Hey, 

    
    

    Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.

    We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

    Thanks!

20. Please put in place a repeat command/direction.

    Directions/commands are sometimes hard to hear or missed. A repeat function is essential and absolutely necessary!
