Stop popups while driving
Our insurance provider gives a discount for safe driving. To get the discount I can't touch a screen while driving. While driving using Waze, popups block the screen but I can't close them. If there is no way to disable ALL popups, I will uninstall waze and find another app.

Show distance covered and time passed while driving
It would be great if waze can display the time passed and the distance i covered in km or miles since i started driving when my app is running. This can be optional and the distance covered display can be turned on and off using settings.

Resuming your current drive
When my current drive was interrupted, waze used to ask if I wanted to resume my current drive whilst showing a progress bar slowly moving. If I didn't respond it would simply resume my drive. This was handy since I didn't have to take my eyes off the road to respond, yes. Now all of a sudden, it doesn't show the progress bar and waits for me to click yes. If I don't respond the current drive now stops and I have to enter my destination again and start a new drive. What changed and can I get the progress…

Remove "Good Morning" and replace it with the street name you're driving on
What's the point of wasting the whole bottom of the screen with goodmorning. Instead show the street name you're driving on. Especially important with emerging technology. I have a GPS rearview mirror which I'd like to leave on (NOT in navigation mode since i'm not navigating most of the time but just driving) Now if the bottom of the screen then I can follow written instructions someone wrote me on a paper and I can confirm it matches the street I'm driving on .

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.

Voice for everything, including thumbs up or not there needs to be a lot better. It's a driving app and needs to be totally hands free
Voice commands are bad and they give up trying after a couple attempts. You cannot thumbs up or say not there with voice. It takes 5 taps to report some things which is ridiculous. Voice needs to be reliable, it's a driving app ffs

Planned drive with expected weather forecast
At least once a year I go on a drive 800km drive during a period when the weather could be questionable, I generally look at the weather in major points along my route several days in advance to determine if we need to leave early or perhaps late to avoid weather. This year we left a couple of hours before a major storm, but managed to stay ahead of it.
I would like to see a planning mode where I could potentially input my planned destination into Waze a couple of weeks before my planned trip, along with my earliest…

Your service is terrific. But the german voice of your service is very stupid and drives me cracy evey time i use waze!!! Change it!!!
Please engage a propper german native speaker for your service. Because what we hear now is terrrrrible!!! She pronounces almost all streets wrong (i.e. mostly at the end instead at the beginning of the street name) and some street names even false so you don't understand what she's meaning! Please change that imediatelly. Thank you very much!

PLEASE remove the reporting of potholes -- This is driving me insane.
Hello,
Though I do believe the initial intentions of reporting potholes were genuine, it has become an absolute nightmare for regular wazers.
I live in a metropolitan area and, unfortunately, not many people in my area have any inclination on what a pothole actually is. This has led to people spamming the map with tens of pothole reports on any given stretch of road (usually the reports are for an uneven patch of road, or even a small bump in the road)...
I'm sure other will agree that this issue has led to, and will continue to lead to, alert…

Please bring back in app notification & icon that someone is watching our drive.
A couple of app updates ago we lost the written notification and icon on the map that shows that someone is watching our drive. Any plans to bring this back? When I send a link to follow my drive to a non-Wazer, it was helpful to know someone clicked on the link, particularly when coordinating a meeting spot and time. Please consider bringing this back!

Driving lane information
It would be great if a user that put notification about stopped vehicle, could also mark on which lane the event happened or is present, for example: stopped on the side, on the first lane, on the second lane or third lane

Add more time increments to plan my drive
Could there be more time increments to plan my drive, like every 5 minutes instead of every 15 minutes?

Automatically re-open closed roads when vehicles drive there again
Roadworks sometimes finish earlier than expected. When waze sees enough vehicles driving along a "closed" road, the closure should automatically be removed. Or at least flag the road for the local AM to check.

Ford sync "Not While Driving"
From update half year ago there is no possible to search destinations on car display. Phone connected via AA. Shows "Not While Driving" all time even when car is in P(park) mode and it is clear nobody can drive it.

custom language
Use a pattern of sounds, pings, dings etc. as an alternative to language navigation instructions. For example, instead of saying "in 300 feet, turn right" - provide a moderate-high frequency "ding" sound, which repeats 3 times. It should be carefully designed using expert sound engineers and be reviewed by users. You want it to be minimal and effective and obviously not annoying. After getting used to it, drives will find that they need less attention to process audible signals.
2 votesVoice recording tool is available in Waze, so you’re welcome to create your own voice instructions.
