Built-in drive safely
I believe it would be worthwhile to build-in in Waze a Drive-safely module, disconnecting tel/messages/ and so on , as all apps I tried somewhere corrupt the Waze Gps screen. As Waze knows I'm driving , knows where I'm driving to , and even know at which speed I believe it is not a really difficult programmation .

Show speed limit ahead (e.g. 300 meters ahead) for economic driving
In order to allow economic driving one should be informed that a changing speed limit will come up long enough to be able to save fuel and save the environment. When there is a hint that you have to lower speed like 300 meters in advance you can just stop pushing gas, so car will just sail.

Correct navigation. The system should say "drive ....miles" instead of "drive ... minutes"
for example, when the map shows "19 mi" the voice now says to drive "19 minutes" when it should say drive "19 miles"

Narrated story while passing by interesting landmarks
While travilng to unknown places, it would be nice if waze will alert you of any interesting landmarks or relevent facts along your way. It will have to be according to a list that specify what you are interested in, and have an easy off switch for people using waze for daily drives.
The alert can be either like a commercial or a link to the relevent wikipedia page, or it could be narrarted for hearing while driving.1 vote -
Safe drive Motivators
Alongside with the pop-up commercials that appear once I stop on traffic light or something, you can occasionally add some "Safe Drive" motivators, like: "Slow down, somebody waits you back home". You know, to make people think for a sec about how they act on the road.

Change the distance fluctuation between the menu and the actual distance
Was searching an address and the list comes up it has one mileage noted then when you actually open the map that mileage is usually doubled I was told this is how it's supposed to be the first in the list is straight mileage who cares about straight mileage we're not in an airplane or a helicopter we are driving so they should match the actual map mileage. Very irritating for someone that drives for a living causing loss of time and money.

Night before alert with time to leave gone?
Night before alert with time to leave in the morning gone? Used to work for all planned drives but stopped around the same time as the new horrible menus appeared…

Big truck on side of the road.
Hello, would you consider: an option for "Big Truck" stopped on the shoulder? As someone who drives a commercial motor vehicle over a 130,000 miles a year, I can tell you that the majority of cars on the shoulder are abandoned whereas the majority of big trucks on the shoulder are broken down and or getting service at the time and there's usually a human being somewhere walking in and out of the highway at the truck is being repaired. With a little bit of notice, people will typically move over one lane to the left to allow room for…

Logging Options on Waze (distance, driving time, gas costs)
It would be great that Waze could log some data about your trip.
So you could include a kind of dashboard that could display your speed, average speed, distance driven, a kind of trip distance resetable by user, as well a fuel logging calculator.
The fuel logging calculator should enable you to register the price spent and the ammount of fuel you've filled. This would be great for drivers to make some stats in order to reduce costs.26 votes -
Option to disable new message pop-ups while driving
You guys have designed this lovely pop-up to be intrusive and distracting. Some users might love getting pop-ups while driving through roundabouts and complex junctions, some users (surprisingly) will not like it.
Please give us the option to disable this pop-up.

More accurate "share your drive" with your Wazer friends
More accurate "share your drive" with your Wazer friends, please. At the moment it will update my location on map approx. every 2-3min but i would really like to see almost a real time location on map.
If you share your drive with non-wazer and he/she watch your journey via browser, it looks way better because my Waze figure moves on the map all the time. I assume this location is estimation based on travel time but it's still way better than figure which doesn't move at all or moves point to point every now and then.

I-4 Ultimate Express Lanes
The new express lanes on I-4 through Orlando, aka I-4 Ultimate, are finally finished. While they physically show up on the Waze map display, they're never recognized as roads whenever anyone drives on them and it just freaks out thinking I am either on the normal I-4 lanes or somewhere off route. They also are never offered as routes and no doubt save a ton of time when the downtown Orlando traffic is backed up.

Drive with others
My idea would make it so you can add friends to your profile, and with those friends you could “drive with them” and it would link you guys on the same trip. Then it could find switch out points for you based on your drive. Also while I’m driving, the other person could close out the app and when it’s their turn, i pass the drive to them and it picks up on their phone right where I left off.

Select initial driving direction
I wanted to suggest this idea but found it was suggested already six years ago but for some reason, this simple but important feature has not yet been implemented.
So I’m quoting the original request someone sent in 2018:Very often Waze starts up navigation facing the wrong driving direction. The direction is rectified as the vehicle starts moving, but it can be too late for the initial turn.
Please add the ability to switch driving direction when navigation starts, via a button.

Display the name of the town/City that i am currently driving through.
Simply Display In some small way, the name of the town I am currently driving in. Sometimes it would be nice to know the name of the town I currently am driving through, Ie. because some police departments use different types of cars, colors etc. If I knew the name of the town I was in... I would know what to look for. Or simply if I am even in the town of my destination. There are multiple reasons this could be useful. I know in some instances it shows it on the map but is too distracting while driving…

A Reminder to start driving
I want to drive a destination at a specific time. I want to set the time when I want to be there. When it is time to start the drive Waze will provide a reminder. Similar reminders using TV broadcasts.

drive the speed limit alerts when cutting through a neighborhood
Waze sends lots of drivers through my neighborhood when traffic is bad. Most drive over the speed limit and will even pass others who are driving the speed limit. Because you have demonstrated that you do not care about my neighborhood, except as a cut-through, please add a voice alert that will sound when people are using waze to cut through neighborhoods reminding people to drive the speed limit.

Plan a Drive Functionality
As many people are noting, the relocation of the Plan a drive feature in the cheeseburger menu is awful. In addition to that, if you make a change to anything within Plan a Drive, it then kicks you all the way back out so you have to click on the menu cheeseburger again, then click on Plan a Drive again, to do the next thing in Plan a Drive. Who thought this anti-intuitive, clunky process was good for users????
