  1. FeedForward

    Hi Waze, I am Ritthik a 10 years old primary school student from Malaysia. I have noted waze users give "feedback" updates (example: an accident, so on), but, why we do not consider "FeedForward" method?

    Let me explain "feedforward", i have seen in numerous occasions that we need to give our way to priority vehicles, example, Ambulance, Fire truck, Police, and many more. But, no users give this to the vehicles in front and we may not realizing that there is a priority vehicle approaching us - this could save lives, prompt action and simply we could do a better…

    Hi,

    I had an iPhone 6, and after granting permissions to waze to access my contacts, I was able to type a name in the search box and waze would pull it from my contacts.

    I just switched to the Samsung S7 Edge and even after granting permissions and acsees to waze to see my contacts, it won’t pull the name in the search box. I have tried everything.

    Ironically, when I go to my icon on the bottom right and click the + to find friends it shows me all my contacts (the ones that are using waze and…

  4. Voice Nav: At the stop sign, turn left. At the stop light, turn right.

    I was riding with a friend yesterday and the app he was using gave him voice instructions like "At the stop light, turn left" and "At the stop sign, turn right". This was way more user friendly and useful than using distances such as "In 300 feet, turn right".

    Waze should add this functionality to its app as it's sometimes confusing which road to turn on when roads are close to each other and knowing that it's at a stop sig or light makes it very easy to figure out.

  5. Waze should add the Postcode of the street you're navigating to while searching.

    I (and quite a few friends) use waze as my primary navigation during deliveries. Besides some buildings not being able to be displayed correctly (common issue across all maps), I really wish that while searching for a street name / house number, Waze would have the postcode come up alongside the street name to make sure you're navigating to the correct one.

    This only happens on 6/10 addresses if you start typing the postcode yourself, but for a lot of addresses trying to type the postcode as well as the street / house number just shows as no results.…

  7. Watch my Drive - Orthographic mistake in Catalan version

    When sharing your drive, your friend receives the following message:
    "Estic fent servir Waze per anar a xxx, arrivaré a les17:50. "
    It should say instead:
    "Estic fent servir Waze per anar a xxx, arribaré a les 17:50. "
    So "arrivaré" is correctly spelt as "arribaré", and there is a missing space before the hour.

  8. Hospital vs Emergency Room Urgent Care

    Last night I was looking for the emergency room for a friend we were rushing to the hospital and initially sent us to a primary care clinic. Of course I could have been better on my search but "gas & prices" is a constant and always available, there should be an emergency/ urgent care list no matter what. Love the app just think it would only make it better l!

  9. Malaysia: Propose Road Names Come Before the Word “Road" or "Highway" or "Street" Ir Teng Keat Hui , Mike support@waze.com Hi, In Malaysia,

    Malaysia: Propose Road Names Come Before the Word “Road" or "Highway" or "Street"
    Ir Teng Keat Hui , Mike
    support@waze.com
    Hi,

    In Malaysia, in the Malay language, the adjective comes after the noun.

    For example:

    "King Street" will literally become "Street King" in the Malay language.

    So, when we are looking at the map and instructions in Waze, the actual name of the road is hidden when it is truncated.

    For example

    Lebuhraya Persekutuan where "Lebuhraya" is "Highway" and "Persekutuan" is the "name", when we view in our phones, we can only see "Lebuhraya" plus maybe a bit of Persekutuan.…

  11. Look at my Waze cons

    July 2017
    Waze? Absolutely!!!
    It is faster up to date than any other navigation system/device I've used so far.

    Pros
    • folks from different areas going to meet at a certain place? Travel "together" using Waze.
    • See their progress
    • help them by sending them your destination and they'll chose the same location.
    • Slow traffic? Jams/staus? Accidents? Object on road? Car stopped? ...?

    Waze will update you on these and many more issues way before other navigation systems or radio stations will do.
    • Map error? Report it (with details). Usually within a few hours or days, it'll…

  14. Add 2 buttons to main screen

    Puta separate “Police” and “Traffic on shoulder” buttons on the main screen on the right side. I am sure these are the two most frequently used buttons. Removing the additional steps for these two alerts will make it much easier on drivers AND encourage more participation amount users. My friend uses WAZE, but never alerts the app of police because it takes multiple steps to post alert. It will also provide a more accurate location since those two would need only one touch.

  16. Easier reporting

    Hi

    Firstly, thank you for this amazing app. I've passed on to several friends now.

    My question is about reporting everyone's pet hate, Potholes!
    Over the past few weeks I've submitted loads of locations while travelling but most of the time doing the average legal speed, by the time its been 'logged' either by tapping the appropriate icons or doing it via voice command, the pothole is then maybe several yards or more, behind me.

    My concern is that their locations won't always be spot on. Can I assume that when my screen comes alive with someone else's report that..…

  17. sleep timer to improve battery life if screen turned off

    hope waze will automatically turned off the gps and put the app in cached processes or closes it entirely to improve battery life when screen turned off by default, unless the app set otherwise.

    my friend's phone died after using one hour and forgot to switch waze off. lol :D

  19. Bring back searching on saved first

    Bring back the feature that when you start typing a place on the search bar, the app would first try to find the place in your saved places. For example, I have my friend William's place saved as "William". If I start typing the letter W, the app would automatically bring as the first suggestion, "William". Now it doesn't and it slow me down a lot...

  20. Napolean Dynamite

    Napolean Dynamite Voice. I have a friend named Mark and he comes into the bar where I work in Long Island , Floral Park NY. He sounds just like Napolean Dynamite from the movie. I said he can do the Waze app voice navigation. He can say “turn left, don’t hit Tina” “ugh you idiot you missed the turn” let’s make Mark Famous!
