Text Msg Concept
Hello Waze Team #1,
One idea, I think would be great to have here in the near future is to be able to set Waze as a default app on iPhone, so whenever someone sends you a text msg for address or favorite locations it will automatically default to Waze and not google as it currently does. I just think Waze has been evolving to be a favorite request by lots of drivers out in the community and cities. What I can see is that Android has that feature right now so hopefully this idea will reach the Leadership for…

Save a route with stop(s)
If you are carpooling (or for another reason) with pick-up/drop-off points between the start and end points, it would be great to save this route with the stops as a preset or favorite. This also implies the suggestion already proposed to add the ability for more than one stop.

Multiple SpeedLimit
Currently, Speed limit alerts merely with a "beep" sound.
1st, I suggest to make it possible to select our favorite sound from internal memory for any limit excession,
2nd, let us adjust more than one limit; for example exactly in speed limit and when the speed reaches to +10km/h more than limit.1 vote -

Looney Tunes Theme
It would be awesome to have a Looney Tunes theme. Bugs, Marvin the Martian, Sylvester, Elmer Fudd, etc. Marvin the Martian would be mine and my kids favorite! All their voices are so unique anyone of them giving me directions and making comments would definitely lighten the mood in traffic. With Marvin you could use his spaceship as the car, Daffy has a spaceship from Duck Dodgers, Bugs you could use a carrot on wheels, etc. Kids would love to hear “what’s up doc” when starting navigation. You could use my husband for voices he’s good at impersonating cartoons 😂

Past Drives Feature
I think it would be cool to see a list of your past drives with dates, the expected Waze time and your actual time (for those of us who like to try to beat the GPS 🤪), your average MPH, how long you sat in traffic, total drive time, how many other Wazers you passed along the way, fun things like that! I think after a long drive it could be fun to reflect on your trip. It would also be cool to show this in a daily, weekly, or monthly report. Maybe an option to leave personal notes as…

Brand priority
Besides having a specific restaurant location as a favorite I would like to select a brand (ie: McDonalds) and have all the Mc Donald’s restaurants show up on the map. The MY STORES function can be enhanced to support brands and show all the locations. This would allow me to easily look ahead on my route the see if a favorite brand store is ahead and I can insert a stop

make My Stores actually good
Waze’s “My Stores” feature aka “My Favorite Stores” doesn’t work well. Currently only some stores even have the option to mark as Favorite by tapping the heart. Most of the time there only is the option to add a specific location to your Saved Places instead, which both doesn’t help as you drive elsewhere where other locations of the store you like may be, and clutters your Saved Places list. Waze should just let you add any store or chain to My Stores

Simplify and organize the user reports
The last major change to reports have been very confusing in a few ways.
- There are redundant and overlapping reports now. E.g. there is construction blocking the right lane. Do I report that as construction then go back and report right lane blocked?
One option would be to change this to have a construction tab which would be other side, right lane, left lane, center lane, shoulder. Then the drivers would know where the construction is.
Where did the ”Car stopped on road" report go? This is MUCH more important than the car on shoulder. If a car is disabled…

Message adding photos public
Please create a message when someone add a local/photo advising that it is a public photo and will be shared with all Wazers. Many people adding (and confusing with private favorite places) home like My House, girlfriend house, work, house in Portugal, vacancy house and with private photos without any interest to Waze like interior of houses, garages,…

Kwik Trip / Kwik Star Option for Preferred Gas Brand
Kwik Trip / Kwik Star is a gas station and convenience store serving Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and now Illinois! As the premier choice for fuel and convenience items, as well as consistently clean bathrooms, I believe Waze users living and traveling in these states would very much appreciate being able to select "Kwik Trip / Kwik Star" when choosing their favorite fueling station. Their social media presence alone qualifies them as one of the best gas stations in the country!

Traffic cameras combined with Waze live map for visual context
Traffic cameras provide visual context for the roadway environment. Humans are visual and like to have visual confirmation. "A picture is worth a 1000 words". Favorite cameras can be included to provide information along a regularly traveled route. This will provide the Wazer with the opportunity to view conditions prior to committing to a route. Traffic cameras can be displayed along alternate routes.Traffic cameras can be enabled when a Wazer is stationary to avoid driver distraction.

Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Fav
favorite Road between 2 points
For example, if I am going to my work, Waze will suggest 3 ways and will give priority for the shortest time and distance to start.
But I want to use the second option, so each time I have to open and choose that option.
My suggestion is to make a favorite icon in front of this road.
When that road is a favorite, it means it will be the first option even if it’s not the shortest one.1 vote -
Gas station - suggestion
Add all gas stations that are open along my route. For example, if I’m driving on the Budapest–Split highway, it should show me where the gas stations are along the way.
Also, include an option to select a “favorite” gas station brand.
Since I have a contract with a specific gas station company, I would set that one as my favorite, because I refuel only there.1 vote -
Make Waze work more like Apple Maps when connected to Apple CarPlay.
The search feature and putting in locations that aren’t a favorite, you still have to do from your phone.

Would love to have Ze Frank as my ride guide.
There are so many fantastic narrators for nature documentaries out there, but these days the work done by Ze Frank is by far my favorite. It's a perfect blend of knowledge sharing and humor.
