Waze on my car screen
GM now allows Google maps and several other APPs to be projected on my car screen from either an iphone or an android phone. Would be a great addition if we could get the WAZE APP to come up. I would happily toss the google map.

police
After making a report of police, I noticed in my Inbox that it was labeled as "police speed trap." I don't think the app should make that assumption. I report police presence ONLY to promote officer safety. Sometimes large trucks block drivers' view and they may not be able to see there is an officer (or other emergency responder) at the side of the road.

Allow routing to avoid defined zones on map (bad neighborhoods, long term construction, etc)
Lots of people have suggested that Waze have an option to avoid "bad neighborhoods" or other areas for other reasons, but I understand that it would be very difficult for Waze to do that automatically. For a given city, you usually have to be a local resident to know that you should avoid a certain area in your daily commute.
So, give each user the option to define avoidance zones in our apps. That way, Waze is not responsible for making that determination, the individual users do it. It could be just a simple polygon drawing function, with a checkbox to avoid the area in routes.
That way, Waze won't constantly try to send me through the prime carjacking area in my city every time I go home. That would be nice.

Bring back the report list on iOS!!
Please bring back the list of reports on iOS!!! I used to use that option all of the time, to decide which route I was going to take or see what I needed to watch out for, before I set out. Now I can only see what's going on when i set a route in the car to leave, which defeats my purpose of analyzing which way to go. I like to do this before i set out. Not the last second as I'm ready to drive. I use waze to travel long distances and I can't get a good overview looking at the map to see the reports. That list was crucial in my daily commutes!!! It's still available on Android. I need it back on iOS!!!

Synchronize points and levels across all Waze servers
Perhaps most Wazers won't realize this until they go on vacation but points earned in another country may not be added to your profile when you return home. Say you live in the UK and you go on a road trip in the US. When you run Waze for the first time in the US you will have zero points, and you will be relegated back to a baby Wazer. And nothing you earn while on that trip will be added to your profile back in the UK. This is a real dis-incentive to participate in sharing information. Please find a way of synchronizing points and levels achieved across all Waze servers.

Configurable sound outputs in Android App
Currently, the Android App is working in an unsatisfying way:
In the Settings menu, under Sound, I've enabled the option to play sounds using the phone's speaker.
When I plug in my earphones in my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S6) I expect all sound to be diverted to the earphones, not being played in the public speaker.Waze does not behave like this. It plays the sound in the speaker regardless of the cable.
My request is to let the user configure, in detail, where the sound should go.
Output sound to:
[ ] Speaker/headphones
( ) Speaker OR headphones
( ) Speaker AND headphones
[ ] BluetoothThere is a checkbox for the title-option "Speaker/headphones". As long as this is unchecked, the two radio buttons below is grayed-out. When you check it, you can choose one of the two alternatives, where "Speaker OR headphones" should be the default.
Selecting "Speaker AND headphones" will output the sound both ways even though the audio cable is connected, while "Speaker OR headphones" work the intuitive way, i.e. no speaker when an audio cable is plugged in.
If the checkbox for Bluetooth is checked, sound goes to Bluetooth as well.
I've posted this in the forum as well. I don't understand why there are two separate places for suggestions/requests... :

restrictions on canceling reports
It's obvious that photo radar van operators and police are using Waze. I have driven by a PR van, reported it, and on my way back the report will be gone but the PR van will still be there (someone reported it as "not there"). There should be a "not there" safeguard in place, where depending on your rank on the scoreboard, so many reports of not being there need to be filed before it gets removed from the map, and a "Thanks!" report cancels out a "not there" report.
For example: I am a Knight, so either a Knight/King can cancel my report, or 4 baby wazers can cancel it.
That way, the PR operator shouldn't be able to cancel the report the moment after he gets pinned on the map.

Audible alert needed to detour
Detour alerts need to be spoken; when driving we cannot always stop & read the alert until it is too late & are stuck in stopped traffic.

Folder for voices
When you download a voice, it goes to a folder (or even a 2nd app that is a storage/management for voices.) The option to keep voices should happen. I need Gronk back!
There is nothing worse than finding a voice with a tone that isn't obnoxious. When you do, it is gone a week later. Not to mention, when the new featured voices are also annoying people that you don't want talking to you. (I don't want Jay Leno in my car.)

Navigation to area instead of address ניווט לאיזור במקום לכתובת ספציפית
Driving to an address to find nearby parking? Going to drop a passenger somewhere?
When navigating to a specific address (current option) you won't always get the shortest way. For example the house you want to get to is just across the street from you- wayz can take navigate you to a U turn or worse.
My suggestion- add on option "drive to area"- you put an address and radius (or make few radius options) and wayz will create the fastest way to that radius.
מחפש חניה ליד הבית? נוסע להוריד מישהו ליד כתובת? הווייז לא תמיד ייקח אותך בדרך המהירה משום שהוא מנווט לכתובת מדויקת.
לדוגמא- הכתובת שהכנסת נמצאת בצד השני של הכביש (בנתיב הנגדי), הווייז יתחיל לחפש פניית פרסה (במקרה הטוב) במקום שתחנה ותחצה את הכביש ברגל.
ההצעה שלי- הוספת אופציית "ניווט לאיזור"- המשתמש מכניס כתובת ורדיוס (או בוחר רדיוס מכמה אופציות) והווייז ינווט בדרך המהירה ביותר לתוך הרדיוס הזה.

next service station - distance/time
On a long drive it'd be handy to be able to see:-
"Service station 1 - 3miles/5mins"
"Service station 2 - 45miles/38minutes"11 votesHey,
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.

שיפור בתוכנה
כאשר המערכת נותנת התראה על מכמונת מהירות אפשר להוסיף את המהירות המותרת בכל מקטע.
בכלל היה עוזר אם היה אפשרות לדעת מה המהירות המותרת בכל מקום שנוהגים.
לדעתי זה יכול לתרום להורדה במספר תאונות הדרכים.11 votes -
Traffic Signal Integration
This is a huge undertaking but would be an awesome feature. Waze would have the ability to know when traffic signals are red and green based on Wazers. It can detect a Wazer ahead is stopped at an intersection, and can warn others behind that the signal is Red. This may also impact ETAs as well. In high volume cities like LA, this would be a feasible idea especially during rush hour. However, it may not be realistic at times of lower volume. This could save time, allow for smarter decisions, save gas, and be greener for the entire world!
