Shade
In honor of hot car month
Is there a feature to select parking lots with shade at this time? If not can one be generated by user feedback and AI rendering of public parking maps? It would be best to show which parts of the lots have shade. Along with marking multi lot parking garages that have shade and multi level building parking. Buildings that offer shade and based on the angle of sun to predict if the user will have a good percentage of shade during their park.1 vote -
Is there a way to contact Waze and ask for a road to be removed as a shortcut option?
My road is a one-way, one-block street that is home to many kids and is bordered on one side by a park that draws many pedestrians. It used to be a quiet street. Recently, Waze started directing drivers to use our street as a shortcut to a busier street. Drivers unfamiliar with our road race down it, despite many signs asking them to slow down. We have had drivers narrowly miss kids, and break tree branches as they swerve too close to the sidewalk. It is also increasing pollution on a rare city street that is next to an incredible …

Add stops
Before, it was possible to add multiple stops on Waze, and this is important for me since I work with deliveries. However, after the latest updates, it's only possible to add a single stop. On top of that, instructions like "turn right," "turn left," and "roundabout" are no longer being spoken, which makes using Waze impractical and forces me to rely on Google Maps. Please bring back the feature to add multiple stops because, even on the slowest day, I have seven consecutive deliveries to complete. I live in Brazil, where security is terrible if not nonexistent and having to…

Minecraft Vehicle
Dear Waze,
My name is Eva Lucia Giralt and I’m almost 8 years old and live in Brooklyn NY. I’ve been riding in my dad’s car since I was a baby and we always use Waze. My favorite vehicle avatars so far are the meow mobile and the woof wagon.
I would really love it if you could make a Minecraft vehicle avatar; maybe even a dog and cat version. I ask because the 1.19 update just came out for Minecraft and this would be a great time to make a new avatar to go with this update.
All my…

Allow user to see turn-by-turn direction list when using Waze via Android Auto.
When connected via Android Auto and using Waze there is no means to pull up the turn-by-turn directions list, even if the vehicle is parked. This forces the driver to drive "blind", not knowing what to expect between the start of the trip and the destination. In city use cases, this makes Waze via Android Auto unusable.

Add personal notification reminder for the driver, it will pop up at the end of the route
As the navigation start, add a personal notification bar for the driver to fill in, it will pop up at the end of the drive, for you as a reminder not to forget your daily task or multiple tasks next to the address you navigate for.
Example: "reminder to pickup the checks",
Or "don't forget to feed the dog".
You can write what ever you need as a reminder for you when you arrived to the address.1 vote -

Stop using last direction of travel for assumed start direction of new trip
Waze should not make assumptions like the direction my vehicle is facing for a new trip based on the direction it was facing when the last trip completed. 1) I have a driveway so I rarely park on the street in the direction I was last traveling while guided by Waze. 2) When I am going home I do not have my actual address stored in Waze, rather one 5-6 homes before my address so I continue past the address which Waze thinks is my home destination. 3) Another reason Waze should not assume my direction of last travel is…

Please bring Parking recommendation back
In the past, on Android Auto when searching for a destination, the parking locations nearby used to show up. Now after an update sometime back (don't know if it is a Waze update or Android Auto update), this is no longer the case. Instead, you have to start navigating to your destination and then Search>Categories>Parking to see this.
And to make it weird, the behaviour here is a hit and miss, with most of the times when this is selected, it returns a 'No Items' message (especially if I am logged in to my account)

Proximity routing for Home/Work
Many people use waze on a daily basis as a way to avoid traffic. We know how to get home or to work, and sometimes our work places have multiple entrances. These entrances don't always trigger waze that you have arrived, so even once I'm in the building, suddenly I hear waze trying to route me through the office hallways from my pocket.....
A new feature called "proximity routing" that the user can enable for their "home/work" locations would take care of this problem. Once the driver gets close, waze would indicate you have arrived and go into sleep mode.…

Add garage location
Same as we can enter work and home locations. having the opportunity to add the garage location would be perfect, in European cities not all residences have garage and some users park somewhere else. Having the option to have both addresses saved would save time, sometimes you just go past home to pick someone up but not really leaving the car at the garage.

Sidewalk is listed as a short cut into another neighborhood.
Waze is advising people to cut through part of our park where there is only a sidewalk and no road. Many people are actually making that short cut illegally. Could you please remove this option from Waze? It is between Rubino Circle and the corner of Thrush Drive and Blue Jay Drive in San Jose, CA 95125. The sidewalk is part of Canoas School's property.
