  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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)

  4. Adding drive to contact’s address in iPhones shortcuts

    I'm using an iPhone, and I would like to make a shortcut that drives with waze to a contact's address. Is there a way to do it?
    If not, there should be one.

  5. 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.

  7. 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…

  8. 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.

  9. 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 destination

    Logs 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…

  10. 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 ?

  11. 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…

  13. Option to turn off toll roads for this drive only

    It would be beneficial to have an option to turn off toll roads for this drive only. The alternative is to go into settings and turn off.any times I forget to turn it back on. We live in an area of the country where we tend to use toll roads during certain times of the days. The tolls are very high so during non peak hours would like to use alternate route without toll even if it’s a bit more miles

  14. 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.

  15. Tell us when TRAFFIC TENDS TO BE THE LIGHTEST for our daily commute!

    Waze should use historical data to tell us the best time to begin our commute each day in order to shorten our drive time!

  16. Fix the drive time planner under “arrive at”

    Every single time I check how long it takes to get somewhere now, then hit leave at and scroll to when I want to arrive, waze underestimated the time. Ex: just now, takes 20 minutes if I leave now, hit arrive at in 30 minutes, says 15 minutes, even though the bars on the right are still the same, meaning no change in traffic volumes. No matter time of day or traffic volume you always get a drive that is shorter than it actually is. Sometimes you get an alert soon after saying the time has been updated and you…

  17. update recent / saved drives

    A lot of Update Requests come from drivers who are using saved drives for Places that have been updated or changed in the map editor.

    Can we make it so after a time period (a month, for instance) the app queries the server for updates when an entry is chosen from the recent/saved drives? Or give a prompt that allows the user to manually update a saved entry, or all entries? "It's been over a month since you've driven here, would you like to see if there have been any changes?"
    Also, an option (in the…
