Route stops editing
The existing ability to “add stop” is great but, if this is done in error, there is no way to edit the list of stops or re-arrange the list without cancelling the drive and re-doing it. Which in affect, messes with the drive history which I use to log my business mileage.
Please add the ability to edit your drive and stops: add a stop, edit a stop, rearrange stops, delete a stop.
Thanks

recent drives
So when I choose a saved favorite, it never appears under recent drives. It would be very helpful if it did because I constantly have to scroll through my favorites when looking for this recent drive. Please have all recent drives appear in recent drives, even if they are saved favorites! Love Waze! And thanks!

allow navigation voice to interrupt call
some people want this disabled, but i rely on navigation instructions in unknown areas.
i prefer waze voice amidst my phone call rather than fly by my exit while someone jabbers on my Bluetooth speakerphone
make it a toggle option to please both camps
and xmpp text those in my non "social" media friends (i have real friends)
allow audio blurbs to interrupt also (jingle)
47 votesThank you for your suggestion. This option is available under Settings > Voice & sound > Mute during calls.

Add option to set a destination as final destination in when adding a stop, not just the existing options of "Add a stop" and "New Drive"
Sometimes when running errands, I'm already driving to "A". But then I want to get directions on how to get from "A" to "B". With the current options of "Add a Stop" and "New Drive", I would have to "Stop", set directions to "B", and then add "A" as stop. This is very complicated and it would be much simpler if there was an option to simply add "B" as final destination while I'm already navigating to "A".

Label a planned drive
Is there a way or can developers add a way to have the user label their “planned drives”. Currently the user just sees the address. I find myself scheduling multiple future planned drives and the day of when I check Waze and I’m saying “what am I doing at 124 main st again?”. Now if it had a label like Dental appointment, (124 Main Street) that would create a better user experience. Thx.

Update online help re:Using your personal address book contacts to navigate (for iOS)
Current online forum help does not accurately describe how to enable Waze to access your personal address book contacts to navigate (for iOS). After some back/forth with Waze staff I was able to find how to do so.
To enable Waze to access your personal address book for iPhone
- Ensure you are logged into Waze under the “settings” section
- Open up Waze and press “search”
- Press “Where To?” And it will take you to the next “Where to” screen that shows “Talk to Waze” and “Favorites” below the search bar.
- Below “Favorites” is a button “Search Contacts - Drive to …

Have option to be able to automatedly share a drive with a saved address.
When ever I add a contact to share drive it defaults to send that information to the email address under that person’s profile. Not the mobile number.
the only way I can get the shared information to a person’s Mobil number is by clicking on the message button. So the search box will not work to share to Mobil number.
So bottom line is that it’s a long process to share a drive with a contact that has an email address listed under their profile.1 vote -

Improve the layout of the Ready to Go? popup in landscape
In landscape orientation, the Friends section crowds out the much more important Go button.
I have no interest in the Friends functionality, so the space devoted to the friends notice and the Share button are completely wasted. The Routes and Go buttons could really stand to be bigger, so I can hit them while the phone is in its dock.
Where I drive, I often need to know which direction Waze wants me to go immediately; there's no long driveway or road that I have to travel no matter what.

Share location with family/friends
I would love the ability to use this app in place of another (for example, Life360) so that I can track my family's location and they can track mine. With arrival and departure alerts settings too.

Better live updates - ETA not very accurate at beginning of drive - traffic conditions (jams) do not show
using Waze for a long time - but it still bugs me when I am stuck in traffic that the road shows up as clear and not in the appropriate color. Also, ETA is way off at beginning of drive, because Waze doesn't calculate the rush hour/construction traffic correct. Today is was off by 10 minutes (on a 30 minute drive originally)

Support event driven notitfications to zapier or ifttt
It would be nice Waze could attach to other systems with events via for example zapier and/or ifttt. Events that I think of:
Starts navigation to 'lat/lon' (bookmarkname)
Arrives at destination
Is in traffic
Shares route
Is 1 hours, half hour, 15 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes away from its destinationLogs drive (from/to, starttime/endtime, distance traveled, (compressed) gpx attached.
This way everybody could easily make rules like
log {all} journeys to a google spreadsheet.
Or share my drive easily on facebook, twitter, etc.
Or, when I go {home} between {16:00} and {19:00} share that drive with {spouse}.
Or, when…

More realistic ETA for long drives
There should be a feature that allows you to choose in options, how many stops you make either per distance or time, and how long on average are those stops as well as whether you tend to drive slightly above or below the speed limit. Then allow Waze to make adjustments to the ETA based off those personalized settings. For example, I add about 25min per hour drive and it’s much closer to my expected ETA than what Waze provides.

DRIVER SPEED LIMITATION INPUT FOR ITINERARY CALCULATIONS
I think it would be a more than good idea to have the option of telling WAZE that one doesn't want to drive faster than 90km/h.
For instance, i drive a camping car, which hardly reaches 100km/h and would like Waze to calculate itineraries taking this into account. Can that be fastly implemented ?29 votes -
Editors should be able to see the URs in the app while driving.
Editors have to manage a large number URs that don't provide much information. The vast majority lack comments from the reporting user, and sometimes these comments don't help in understanding the problem.
Since many editors drive, it would be helpful if high-level editors (level 4 or higher) could see URs in the app while driving (similar to alerts). This would allow them to go to the exact location (if they have time to do that), observe the problem, leave a comment, and then calmly make the necessary changes to the WME.

Fix the share my drive feature to remember your most recent share contacts. Also highlight the actual route not the straight line from a->b
Restore the share my drive feature that remembers ego you recently shared your drive with. It used to do this but no longer does.
Also, when sharing a drive it should show the actual route the person is taking (like it does for the driver) and not just a straight line from point a to point b. That isn’t helpful at all when trying to meet up with someone or give them a heads up on a path to avoid. Or being able to search their route if someone were to get lost or not make it to their…

Conditional use of toll roads if saves more than set percentage of time
I live in Northern Virginia (US) where we have a growing network of high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes paralleling existing roads. These come up as separate roads in Waze as they have their own on ramps and off ramps. Just to make them more fun, they have variable tolling so when traffic is more congested on the "free" lanes the toll lanes cost goes higher. The speed limit is also higher on the toll lanes so they always come out as preferred over the regular lanes for navigation.
The current Waze app allows selection to avoid or not avoid toll…
