  1. In New Zealand an update now reads Westchester Dr as Westchester Doctor so just a friend tip to our road maps R = DRIVE PDE = PARADE

    In New Zealand an update now reads Westchester Dr as Westchester Doctor so just a friend tip to our road maps DR = DRIVE, PDE = PARADE, HWY = HIGHWAY & TCE = TERRACE!
    A recent update now says to turn into Westchester Doctor would be very confusing if you did not know

  2. Update sharing feature

    • The sharing option does not work for friends using the links. It always comes up with "Something went wrong" if they try and use it.

    • When trying to add a stop, the circle just keep spinning, even when switching Data to use from another SIM, it would still not work

    • Setting your home address is not easy, in fact, to try and change it is impossible currently or not easy to change/edit

    • Pressing the Gas station button just works in circles. Suggesting a list is pre-prepared on the route taken in case of connection loss.

  3. Waze distress signal

    As a Wazer, wouldn't be great to be able to send out a distress signal. Tyre change, out of gas, need engine help, etc. Perhaps also car make specific help, in that case a personal setting including car make could be needed.

    If another user helps you out he or she would gain some 100 p. To avoid misuse the extra points only should apply when you help a non friend Wazer.

    Or turn the other way around and let users state what type of help he or she could provide. No need to get flagged for help if you…

  4. Routing quality has plummeted after the Google acquisition - please get it back in shape!

    (copied over from https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=96033)

    I am a passionate Waze user who has converted many friends to the app, and has become a top 4% reporting contributor (I don't participate at all in any other gamified apps or websites). But now my support is waning fast.

    Ever since Google bought Waze, routing has progressively become worse and worse. I initially switched to Waze because Google Maps routing had become horrible - inefficient routes when there were obviously better ways to go, etc. Waze does awesomely creative things like telling me to get off the freeway at an exit then immediately…

  5. Work

    I’d like to request multiple work place favorites along with 2 Home favorites instead of only ONE Home option currently available. ‘Home’ or ‘Work’ is simply name. Users could call them anything they wish. But for easier navigation sake, to be able to save with more than just one HOME or one WORK, the obvious merits are flexible user experiences. By the way, does WAZE necessarily restrict users to only one Home and one Work? Is there more inconvenient or anything to lose if more homes and work places are possible? They could be your friends’ homes, siblings’, relatives’,…

  6. Recognition

    I was driving southbound on I5 this morning I received an alert of an animal on the side of the road. I have never been so angry. A black man was standing at the Woodburn exit. I was sickened and so very sadly angered. You need to fix this! He is a human being! I’m not sure how this happened but it is not ok. I will be deleting my app and telling my friends yo go the same. There is absolutely no excuse for this. My hope is there were no black peoples using Waze at that time. I’m…

  7. Flight times

    I would like to post an idea about flights. I thought it could be helpful for myself and for others. I live in Indiana and often drive to O’Hare airport in Chicago to pick up family and friends visiting, or to get to the airport to catch a flight myself. It would be nice if in the “plan a trip” you can enter a flight number and day of flight so that it reminds you when to leave like other trips that you plan based on the flight information. Have an arrive for a flight option or pickup option so…

  8. Make your ability for me easy to communicate to.

    I love WAZE. I don't like not being able to have an account. I have signed up, I get your FB posts as well as emails yet, I am not able to communicate when on the road. Today I asked for the ability to create a new password. You send a link. I complied. Showed I was successful, yet when I go to my dashboard - I don't exist. Come on, you are better than this and I am no computer dummy. I am ready to quit and find something else and tell everyone of my friends in the process.…

  9. game mode

    Nothing to do with your friends friday night?

  10. More privacy required

    I know about the anonymous option, but this is not my point.
    I would like to have the feauture to everyone to be only your nickname from Waze client, at maximum, to be shown. So, if you're logged in to Facebook, as I am, it won't appear your picture from Facebook or your name either; instead I would recommend to shown only the Waze emotion and the Waze nickname. To avoid any persuit, identity anything else that makes you easy to be track.
    So, only your friends will see your picture on the map and your name.

    It's not just…

  11. automatic accident

    If your car comes to a sudden halt or veers off course dramatically and unexpectedly, have waze pop up with a message asking if you have been in a accident. The message must stay for 5 seconds, and if you do not cancel it or press the "NO" button, it automatically alerts a nominated friend and sends them the last known location

  12. Editing maps

    You need to allow all users to edit maps with speed cameras and the like. Sure if you want to maintain a basemap that your power tripping editors want to keep, fine. But I should be allowed to overlay speed cameras and the like if there is a disagreement by how a local editor deems them necessary or not. You don't want to add it to the basemap? Fine. But I should be allowed to add it to a map that I use or share with my family and friends.

    You also need a better reporting/dispute system that you…

  13. Do 'waze to friend', nearest location for both parties

    I wanted today to have my GF drop me something I needed.

    So I kinda had to scroll down in the waze map to understand where should we meet in order to make her and my drive as quick as possible.

    So, i just thought on this feature, if both parties using waze and agrees to it, waze will either A) Just give them suggestions for location that will minimize the driving time for both parties. B) Monitor online both parties until they meet, and update in the map, each one of the other's advances.

    Took me a while to…

  15. Various suggestions taken from other systems

    Hello everyone,
    after a period where I have been a passenger of friends and colleagues ( due to surgery   ) I decided to write down what, in my opinion, can be insights to further improve this navigation system.

    As a first suggestion ( I copy the idea from AmiGo ) is to make the indication of the speed limit and current speed more intuitive and readable by using colors inside the speedometer. The idea of verbally indicating the speed of speed cameras can also be very helpful.

    The second point I would like to suggest ( this time the idea…

  16. Roles for Wazers

    Suggestion: I'd like to see users be able to select 'roles' so some users can be 'law enforcement' and others can be Dept of Transportation and such. This would require some type of 'vetting' by either using an official email or by requiring users to receive a minimum # of matching alerts (police roadside) at the same location as a wazer who has selected 'law enforcement). I have a number of cop friends who would love to be able to use waze while on duty and the public know where they are. I suspect this would also give other government…

  17. Add address book labels for phone numbers when sharing trip

    I have recently shared trips with friends whose numbers I have in my address book, but numbers I wouldn't know. When I share my trip and search for my friend's name, I see that they have 3 phone numbers. Which one is their mobile? I have no idea! Why? because the numbers aren't labeled!

    I could pick one but I might be sending my trip to their work fax number. A lot of good that would do. The only thing I can do is exit the app, look them up in my address book, memorize their mobile number, re-enter Waze,…

  19. Add the option to see another car live on your waze when you travel with a friend in different cars so in case you lose each others
