Voice search button for destinations using apple carplay.
Carplay voice input was taken away (microphone icon). I can no longer search via voice for directions to any place. Now I can only use iphone maps or google maps. Seems strange to remove a vital feature as now I cannot get directions to places with my voice.

Mark roads/routes safe for women travelling alone
I usually drive alone and as a woman travelling solo there have been some roads on which I have been somehow scared due to their lack of illumination/population nearby. I was wondering if you have ever thought about adding a feature that would flag roads safe for women travelling alone. For me, I would definitely feel safer knowing that the route is well lit/populated/does not go through dangerous neighborhoods and I wouldn't mind if it's not the shortest or quickest route as long as I feel safe. There would always be the option to choose if one wants to take a different route which is shorter/quicker so it would be up to the user.

So on trips that we take everyday only notify if there is a change in route. I don't need to hear everyday to take this exit and then stay left

The map should be able to display on the phone, even if CarPlay is active
Please can there be the option of keeping navigation running on the phone screen, even if CarPlay is enabled. CarPlay Display Units are often down low (where car radios used to be), and looking at that as your satnav is dangerous and distracting. Keeping the map on the phone will enable safer driving and a happier Apple and Waze customer base

Police alerts should be added to voice alerts (in alert only mode)- this cost me a driving ticket!
In “alerts only” sound mode I do not get police notification, only Speedtrap (stationary traps) so dynamic user-generated police notifications are not notified- this cost me a speeding ticket -+ driving school last week!

Report and block dangerous routes
I absolutely love your products, however there’s a major flaw in that you direct users through extremely dangerous areas in South Africa. This includes a well known Johannesburg hijack and robbery hotspot and yet I can’t report it nor block it on my route.

Reduce taps required from search to navigation
Currently from the time I see an address for which I've searched to when I'm able to just drive and see the map and directions, there are FOUR TAPS in between those two things happening.
Tap 1 — Seeing the address as text in search results.
Tap 2 — Seeing the address as an official box in results.
Tap 3 — Seeing the address on a map with parking options
Tap 4 — Directions calculated, and clearing option to choose routes.When a person is starting to drive, that's quite frustrating.
I just want to GO. Please reduce this to ONE.
The rest are unnecessary because:
1 — I've already confirmed my destination.
2 — The rest, like parking, can wait until later.Thank you

Select safer way by following someone if alternative route is similar time
Safely travel means to follow others. Like on festivals inside crowds ==> people tend to walk together = crowd pulls you. Basically we should drive in circles. While road has dashed line, we better don't want to meet many cars in opposite direction. This can avoid mamy accidents by front crash. Similar road arrangement can be seen ie. also on some festivals so it is not just a dream!! I prefer to come 10min late than never [+]. Waze should offer this always (on dashed line roads).

Single lane/double lane countdown
For roads that switch between single lane and double lane (in the same direction) forth and back, it would be nice to have a counter indicating how long it is left to next switch.
These kind of roads are common on the swedish country side.

apple car play waze haptics on apple watch while driving for vibration or voice alerts
while using apple car play either receive haptic vibrations or voice prompts (or both) for upcoming directions, cops, etc. while using Waze

Select Alerts
Please make it so you can elect which alerts you want to receive during navigation. On long drives, there are multiple alerts that aren't necessarily relevant. Selecting only police, traffic, and hazards IN the road would eliminate a lot of alerts.

Vibrate Notifications
Give the user the option to turn-on "vibrate notifications" in addition to voice. Many times when driving I am distracted talking to a passenger or listening to the radio and miss a turn.
It would be great if my phone would also vibrate. I would like to have this option for police notifications as well.
If this were an option, then those that don't want vibrate notifications don't have to use it.9 votes -
Simple “beep” dictionary
Sometimes the voice guidance may be annoying.
Wile during silent navigation you might miss a turn.
Please add an option for a single “beep ” a few meters before the turn, and a “beep beep” warning just before the turn.9 votes -
Category Icons and Provider indicator in Search Autocomplete results
When we view Search autocomplete results, and even when we view "more" results
* Show category icons, so we can see the difference between a grocery store, a gas station, and a bus stop. This icon could be in the donut hole in the middle of the pin icon.
* Also indicate which are from Waze and which are from external providers (perhaps by putting a blue colored pin for Waze results and a gray colored pin for Google results, for exampleUse case:
If I search for "Giant Eagle Verona" in Pennsylvania, USA, the results include
* The Giant Eagle Grocery store in Verona PA (waze result)
* A Bus stop on Verona Rd in another town (Google result - named "Giant Eagle (Verona Rd) at Entrance")
* A GetGo gas station in Verona PA, a couple blocks from the grocery storeThis can be a little bit confusing to the user. How can they be certain if the first result is the correct one? Providing readily-available information like the category (indicated with a picture / icon) would make it easier to make a correct decision.
And would also showcase Waze results, which are quite often more accurate than Google Maps search results.

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.

La possibilité de signaler un accident sur le sens opposé est indispensable
Je viens de croiser un accident générant un énorme bouchon non signalé sur Waze. J’a Voulu le publier mais hélas la fonction accident ou bouchon en sens opposé n’existe pas. C’est bien dommage

BLOQUEAR O CELULAR DURANTE O USO DO APLICATIVO
Apesar de outra pessoa já ter dado esta opinião eu gostaria de reforçar a importância de manter bloqueado o celular durante o uso do aplicativo. No Brasil o roubo de celulares durante deslocamento no transito é comum. Os assaltantes vendo que o celular está no waze sabem que o mesmo se encontra desbloqueado e fazem o que querem. Acessam nossa agenda, nossas redes sociais, nossas configurações, nossas fotos, nos deixando muito vulneráveis. Por favor considerem a ideia de existir a opção de bloqueio do celular durante o uso do aplicativo para segurança do motorista.

Se déclarer "Conducteur écolo", ou "conducteur vert"
Bonjour, au siècle du réchauffement climatique, de plus en plus de citoyens cherchent à avoir des comportements plus compatibles avec une consommation plus responsable, en particulier d'énergie... Waze pourrait contribuer à renforcer ces comportements vertueux en permettant à ces conducteurs de se déclarer "conducteur écolo" en expliquant ainsi pourquoi ils roulent à 120 (ou 110) au lieu de 130... Cette identification des conducteurs écolos renforcerait 1. leur engagement personnel, 2. la bonne compréhension des conducteurs entre eux sur les routes... 3. la protection de la planète (courbe de consommation et d'émission CO2 très croissante avec la vitesse...) 4. des économies pour ces conducteurs...

Why are traffic jams on highway not announced? This seems like a major need going from 65mph to 0?!
Everything else is an audible, verbalized announcement. Why are traffic jams on the highway not an audible alert to the driver? I find this to be a major miss currrntly.
