1. Waze RoadTrip- A New Option for Wazers

   You will likely want to hear an idea that will expand your audience and retain your current customer base.

   Recently, I embarked on an excursion from Orlando, FL to Charleston, SC. It’s a fairly short road trip, but within those 6 hours, I wondered to myself how great it would be to see more than just the highway in front of me and the trees that lined the road. I quickly grew exhausted from seeing the same paved road, white lines, and billboard signs over and over again.

   I turned to my boyfriend with two hours left on our trip and said, “There should be an app, or a feature on the GPS, that allows a road trip option.”

   And that’s how I thought of Waze RoadTrip. An option on the Waze app that allows users to choose between a straight shot to their destination, or the option to take a trip with interesting routes and unique stops along the way.

   When a user selects the RoadTrip option, Waze would alert them to stops for unique things to do, highly rated local places to eat, historical areas, as well as the closest rest stops and the usual stops such as gas stations, just to name a few ideas.

   Furthermore, Waze would crowdsource from users who would add their own favorite stops and interesting facts about the places they’re driving through.

   Finally, Wazers could check in to these places, so that others might choose to meet with them based on their mutual interests and close proximity at any given moment.

   I realize this idea requires an investment by Waze and likely an integration with other existing platforms that offer a similar experience but require users to use separate applications. Waze RoadTrip will be worth your investment in creating a uniform platform that eases and pleases your user base.

   I would like to discuss this, and several other ideas, that I believe will be very profitable to your company and require only imagination and understanding of user experience.

2. Dead animal option in hazards

   There have been several times where dead animals have been described as "objects". For example, today I saw someone's dog who had died on the road was described as an "object". As someone who is very upsetted by dead animals, I would like there to be an option for "dead animal" so I know not to look. I know there used to be an option for it, but now it seems to be gone.

3. Search results not close to my location.

   Usually, the first few search results are hundreds or even thousands of kilometres / miles from my location. Search results should default to the closest to me, unless I add more details on the search location, like town/city.

4. Detour capability

   I would like for the ability to determine a detour to the current route. For example, if the highway you are on is blocked, slow or closed due to an accident, you can push a detour option/button and select the distance of the detour (1/2 mile, 1 mile, 2 miles, 5 miles, 10 miles...) or maybe the system can suggest the detour length based on what it knows of the traffic conditions ahead. Once your determined detour distance is exhausted, you are routed back to your original route. Many GPS Nav systems today have this capability/feature and is very useful. Garmin does this very well.

5. Multiple selections on prefered fuel/gas/petrol stations

   It is now possible to select all or just one as preferred fuel/gas/petrol station.
   I would suggest a selection list where you can select multiple preferred gas/petrol stations in your settings/fuels list depending on your own choice or preference

10. Autodetect closures and closed roads

    Waze should automatically detect closures and close roads without relying on Wazers to use the in-app closure function or on map editors to add them. Just as Waze can detect traffic and reroute, it could also detect when no one follows the directed guidance and there is zero traffic on a segment. Then when Wazer start driving on the segment again it could reopen.

    Google Maps (part of Google Geo) gets closure info from Waze. And Waze (part of Google Geo) should also get closure info from Google Maps. It doesn't now, and instead will route Wazers into a closed road, even though Google Maps already shows the road closed and routes Google Maps users around the closure.

11. Mute re-routing sound

    The constant re-routing sound waze makes when I choose not to take the exact route she wants me to, or because I kiss a turn is loud in my Bluetooth and even though I have the sound turned down its still annoying. I know she is going to re-route me so I don't need that loud Beep she makes. No other GPS device does this. If we could please have an option to mute this, then that would be amazing. Thanks.

12. Police

    Sorry to upset all of the folks asking for more features to warn of police presence but this is a childish feature which should be removed. Waze is a great app and you would be best served by taking the "high road" and promoting the app as an aid to road safety by making drivers aware of road situations and hazards. But many wazers like me have their kids also driving and I am just waiting with dread for the day that a fellow wazer tells a drunken driver how to avoid a policeman and then that drunk driver kills the wazer's kid. The police are mainly there for our safety - protect our kids and don't tell dangerous drivers where the police are!!

    Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.

    We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

15. Option to use Bluetooth HSP or A2DP

    Waze uses bluetooth A2DP for navifation instructions. But a lot of car sets only uses bluetooth HSP. There are apps that convert A2DP to HSP but these apps always mute the car radio. So it would be great, if Waze can send navidation instructions via HSP to a bluetooth car set. So it will mute the radio, give the navigation instruction and then unmute the radio. I think that would be a big feature, cause google maps can't do this right now.

16. Single Lane with/without passing places

    In the UK, we have a large number of narrow two way roads which are often only the width of a single vehicle. You can often meet oncoming traffic head-on with no easy way of passing unless one driver decides to reverse. Either that, or at best, you both end up with scratched paintwork.

    Waze has no way of knowing which roads are narrow, so will often route along this type of road. Many of us would prefer to take a longer route to avoid this type of road.

    I suggest that within WME we have a tickbox option of "narrow road with/without passing places".
    Then, within the app, the user will have an option to avoid this type of road, just as they do with toll roads, motorways, etc.

    I have suggested this at the last two UK conferences, both times with reasonable support from other delegates, but thus far, Waze has ignored this popular suggestion.

19. CarPlay reporting button

    The buttons to report “Still There” and “Not There” are stacked vertically in CarPlay, this leads to accidentally pressing the wrong option a significant number of times due to a badly timed bump. If the buttons were next to each other this wouldn’t be an issue.
