Google Now (Jelly Bean) integration
Right now I can fire off navigation from Google Now to Google Maps. Waze is offered as an app to do this, but does not accept the external input of the destination to Navigate to.

Eco mode
How about an Eco mode that would give you a warning beep if you accelerate or decelerate too fast or drive over the posted speed limit? Of course, the driving speed (for traffic) would need adjusted (because if you're driving 10 under the speed limit for MPG reasons that doesn't mean that there's traffic issues).

Allow more granular control over notifications
I'd love to be able to adjust my notifications a bit more specifically than I can currently. For example, I want to turn off chit-chat notifications, and I'd love to have both an audio and visual notification for red light/speeding cameras, police, and severe traffic.

Allow other users to send address to my handheld client
Allow facebook friends, waze group members, etc. to send an address to my handheld client if I am online.
1) When an address is recieved by the client, ask the user to accept the route, reject the route or block all address pings.
2) If I don't have a route set, auto accept the aaddress after 10 seconds.
3) Add a new category to the Address Search dialog similar to My Favorites, Recent searches, Contacts, etc. List the received addresses for easy access.9 votes -
System constantly reroutes then the server times out & deletes exsiting route
When I set a route the system constantly reroutes almost every quarter to half a mile. At least 50% if not greater I will then get a message that the server timed out. This wouldn't be so bad except that when this happens it deletes the route I'm trying to follow until it tries again and usually then the server returns a route. This makes Waze virtually unusable. Please make it that once Waze has a route that it continues displaying and following that route until it gets new information from the user or server for a new route. Even if this results in a less than optimal route because of traffic it is better than no route at all (especially if the route I was following takes me in an unfamiliar part of town).

Notifications in Android Notification bar when Waze is in the background
I would like to see an icon popup next to the Waze icon in the Android Notification bar when people send a Ping, comment to your chat, or when an event like police or accidents have been reported. This would be useful when Waze is in the background.

change speed bump to traffic calming device
There are many different devices used to slow vehicles other than speed bumps. Other examples include chicanes, roundabouts, splitter islands, entrance treatment, speed pillows, speed humps and intersection humps. I'm sure there are others too.
The speed bump permanent hazard would fit all of these other types of methods used to slow vehicles down but if we add a speed bump where there technically isn't a speed bump we confuse the wazer and likely will generate unnecessary URs.
If we changed the name from speed bump to 'traffic calming device' (my suggestion), we easily fit all these slow-down methods and alert with a simple and clear message to the wazer that speed control measures are in effect ahead.
Instead of creating a unique permanent hazard for each of these devices, I instead suggest we broaden the definition the one we already have and change it's name accordingly.
I'm currently working with the city of Sandy Springs, Ga and they employ all of the devices I've mentioned here but I am hesitant to add "speed bump" PH to their chicanes and other devices which are specifically not speed bumps.

Audible warning for speed cameras even if you're under the speed limit
If you're going under the speed limit you don't get an audible warning for a speed camera. If the camera is after a limit change you may be under the limit when approaching but you can then accelerate above the limit and have no warning.

Delete the Stop point and continue navigating to final destination
Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove the intermediate point on the route after adding it.
This feature is very much needed.

Starting point
why can't I just press 'your location' after choosing a destination and change where the starting point is, I know if I press leave later I can change the starting point but why not from that point as well?

Support for dimensions and combinations such as caravans
I propose that Waze allows users to save multiple vehicles, each with their own dimensions, including height, width, and length. It should also be possible to add vehicle combinations, such as a car with a caravan or trailer, where the additional dimensions are automatically taken into account during route planning.
Users could then manually select the appropriate vehicle or combination before starting a trip, or Waze could automatically detect the vehicle via CarPlay or Android Auto.
It is essential that Waze takes infrastructure limitations into account—such as bridge heights, narrow roads, sharp turns, and low tunnels—so that any routes that could pose a risk based on the vehicle’s dimensions are automatically avoided. This would make Waze a more reliable option for drivers of larger or specialized vehicles.

An option to show EV charging stations on map
Waze offers an option to indicate EV charging stations in a given area but, in order to access it you need to move out from your map.
It would be great to have the option to show EV charging stations around you while you are driving rather than having to move to a separate page.

Enable Speech-to-Text for Map Update Requests While Driving (via Android Auto and CarPlay)
I would like to suggest an improvement to Waze that would allow users to fill out map update requests (URs) using speech-to-text while driving, particularly when connected through Android Auto or CarPlay.
Currently, when users select a map update option (such as "Incorrect address," "Missing road," or "Speed limit") while driving, there is no way to add a description of the issue. This limits the ability to provide detailed reports and often results in incomplete information being submitted. With speech-to-text functionality, users could quickly and safely dictate descriptions of the problem without having to stop or manually type anything.
For example:
General error: "There’s a detour due to roadwork on Main Street."
Missing road: "There’s a road missing between Maple Ave and Pine St."
Speed limit: "The speed limit is 60 on Highway 10, not 45."
Incorrect address: "The address for 123 Oak St should be 125 Oak St."
This feature would not only make reporting map issues easier and more detailed, but it would also ensure that users can submit accurate information safely while driving. By integrating speech-to-text, Waze could enhance its mapping accuracy without distracting drivers from the road.

Voice warnings about several hazards on the road
Waze has been warning about the next turn during a trip for a long time and this is great. However, there are not only maneuvers on the roads but also different hazards. For example: there is a speed control camera ahead, and an accident happened 50 meters before it. Waze will only warn about one event. This is bad. I suggest voicing such events in order, like turns "Accident ahead, then camera." and other events similarly.

Customise routes according to specific vehicles
Vehicles such as the Citroën Ami, Fiat Topolino or Opel Rocks cannot drive on all city roads because of their low power and the speed limits imposed (45 km/h).
In Rome, for example, you can't drive on a very important road called the 'Tangenziale', or the motorway. This means that using Waze is not an option, as it often sends you to these roads, which are off-limits to small cars.
It would be better if these small vehicles could have other routes so they don't risk getting fined or worse.8 votes
