An option to switch on the screen a second map view showing the route with zoom out
It could be a good idea to have a switch on/off option of a second map view (in one corner of the screen) to see simultaneously the route from higher perspectives (i.e., a zoom out view), in order to acquire information regarding where the Waze would direct us, which roads, after every recalculations of the optimal route.

Change route colour
You recently changed the colour of speed cameras on display from green to blue, and if you use the dark mode, like I have always done, the route colour is also blue, and therefore the speed cameras are barely visible! This is total nonsense! Please allow to change the colour of the speed cameras or the route.

Add Pause Button to Route Guidance
I use Waze a lot for local driving and frequently take small diversions to convenience stores or maybe swing by another store or a friend's house a few blocks away that is not on the original route.
I find it very hard to believe that no one has ever added a Pause button to route guidance.
I have seen it rationalized that it would be distracting while you're driving.
I would submit that the app continuing to recalculate a new route while you are diverting is ever more distracting. Especially, if you decide to stop the route because the…

Provide degree of confidence of route suggestions
When choosing a route, I would like to see a degree of confidence that I will arrive at the time specified. More of them than not, I arrive at my destination several minutes after the original estimate due to building traffic, getting stuck at lights, etc. This especially occurs during rush hour traffic. If the app offered a level of confidence based on the proposed routes then I would feel like I have more control over my route. This could be represented as a % confidence based on conditions and aggregated data from users along that route…

An idea.
Problem: I am on a trip from 800 kilometers with the route defined and must supply the vehicle in the middle of the route must go into settings and check for Waze fuel stations near which usually makes me out of route.

Besides Toll route and No toll route there should be a third option: No Toll (except Bridge tolls) route
Besides Toll route and No toll route there should be a third option: No Toll (except Bridge tolls) route
There should be an option to apply the above choice across the whole route to the destination or state by state or highway by highway.
For hazards and police, the “Still there” and “ Not there” choice is available only for a short period of time. It’s only after passing the location that one knows whether it is still there or not.
Generally graphics are poor: the icons for road hazard, police, construction are not intuitive. The graphics of car icons…3 votes -
Include a button "Need gas", that searches for nearest gas stations. Clicking in one, create/inlcude a route to it.
Include a button "Need gas", that searches for nearest gas stations. Clicking in one, create a route to it or include in the actual route as a stop.
13 votesIn the settings choose Gas stations – Sort stations by – Distance from current location.
Then, in the left panel tap on the search bar and you’ll get a gas station icon directly under the search bar (along with parking, restaurant and cafe icons). Tap on the icon and you’ll get the list of closest gas stations. If you’re in active navigation Waze will also calculate the reroute time to get to each gas station.Happy cruising.

Alert when there is a diversion from the most common route
When I'm on my daily route I usually turn off sound and switch to "Alert only" mode. That causes me to not notice if there is a diversion from my most common route. Adding and alert to notify me of that diversion would be amazing.

Bathroom Finder on Route
Have an obvious button and/or a voice command to display (and when selected, route to) public bathrooms along your route. In settings, you should be able to select categories, like "rest area," "gas station or restaurant with restrooms," and distance from route (either in time or miles), etc. in order to establish a default search and display when the "show restrooms" switch is toggled.
1 voteSearch by key words would help here. Just type “Restroom” or “Toilet” and Waze will find the locations nearby.

choose my custom route!
Have you ever thought that the driver does every day the same way to go to work or home, so he already has his favorite ways? Have you ever thought about leaving the driver predefine these paths and when to consult the routes have a new area for "Custom Routes" and showing the conditions of transit and time for those 3 chosen paths? I would feel more comfortable in knowing how long it would take if I had chosen that MY way specifically. Thanks!

Search along current route changed?
During a route, Waze used to search along the current route for my search term and give results +minutes off route but now it seems to have just changed to +minutes away from current location. If I am leaving Chicago on a 1 hour drive into the suburbs and I would like to find ice cream along my route, now I have to wait until outside of the city in the area I think there might be one to start searching whereas before it would give me locations say 30 mins along the route but which ice cream…

Toggle navigation options in route
When already in navigation, and pulling up to see the route options... You should be able to toggle the navigation options, say, in a secondary section below the different routes available.
Examples:
- avoid freeways
- avoid ferries
- avoid toll roads
- etcThat way, you don’t have to go into Th e overall settings of the entire app. The setting stay as default, but the options you toggle are for that specific navigation in progress.
I sometimes want backroads, or whatever. And I don’t want to change the “entire app“ setting. Just that one time. Flexible. I…
