Vehicle mode selection when confirming route
I am aware there is a motorcycle mode in settings, however like many others, I often switch between motorcycle and car, it would be really handy to have a button or drop down menu to chose the vehicle type when selecting your route rather than having to go into settings each time.

Bathroom Finder on Route
Have an obvious button and/or a voice command to display (and when selected, route to) public bathrooms along your route. In settings, you should be able to select categories, like "rest area," "gas station or restaurant with restrooms," and distance from route (either in time or miles), etc. in order to establish a default search and display when the "show restrooms" switch is toggled.
1 voteSearch by key words would help here. Just type “Restroom” or “Toilet” and Waze will find the locations nearby.

Emergency route
Hello! We want a development that makes it easier for ambulances, firefighters, and police officers to respond to an accident. The vehicle category should be selectable for vehicles with distinctive markings, so that they can approach the site by the shortest route. You can also enter streets where it is forbidden to drive in or except with a permit.

Give reason for suggested route change.
- Have tone or spoken message that there is a suggested route change to draw your attention to something on the screen.
- Have the message stay on screen until acknowledged.
- Have default to stay on selected route, if reason is just quicker by a few minutes or shorter.
- Only change route IF traffic is blocked or significant delay due to accident or some other non normal event.

Search along current route changed?
During a route, Waze used to search along the current route for my search term and give results +minutes off route but now it seems to have just changed to +minutes away from current location. If I am leaving Chicago on a 1 hour drive into the suburbs and I would like to find ice cream along my route, now I have to wait until outside of the city in the area I think there might be one to start searching whereas before it would give me locations say 30 mins along the route but which ice cream…

Visual-aid for showing recency of data along route.
Whether I am driving along a major interstate, or an empty country road, it would be a major confidence boost to know, in real time, whether the route I'm driving is being heavily or lightly traveled by other wazers.
For example; I am driving on a country road in Texas and there are no reports along my route for miles. Does that mean the route is free of police and hazards, or am I the only Wazer on the road in this part of town?

Route guidance Audio
Fantastic app. Well done and thank you.
In a future release, would it be possible to
Optionally have the route guidance to the drivers side of the vehicle only so as not to disturb sleeping children / passengers?
Optionally have the route guidance sent to bluetooth earbuds, not the car audio so that only the driver hears it.
Thank you for all your excellent work.

Auto Acknowledgement: Feature Suggestion: “Same Route Return” or “Route Memory” for Personalized Navigation
Auto Acknowledgement: Feature Suggestion: “Same Route Return” or “Route Memory” for Personalized Navigation
Dear Waze Map Team,
I’m writing to suggest a useful feature that could enhance the user experience for many drivers, especially those who prefer traveling familiar routes.
Feature Idea: Route Memory or Same Route ReturnThe idea is to allow users to record and save the exact route they take from Point A to Point B, so that they can later choose to return using the same exact path — even if the system finds alternate “faster” or “better” options on the return journey.
Why…

Mark temporary the route as blocked, unavailable, reroute options
Add the option to mark the current route or road segment as unavailable or ability to calculate completely alternate route for the next couple of miles. I found myself multiple times on a suggested route that was closed due to roadwork, incident or event by the police for some reason. I tried to avoid it but waze kept on routing me back that blocking point… I usually have to drive random a lot of miles until the route changes enough so that I can be given an alternate route. Happened in cities, highways (due to accident ahead). This would…

Refined Searches Along my Route
I oftentimes use the search tool to find places along my route.
It would be great to limit results within X miles of my current location and no more than a Y-minute detour off my route. I sometimes get results that are hundreds of miles away. It’s not very helpful.2 votes -

Always show typical route
I often drive the same route, and Waze likes to offer alternatives. Fine, but always show my typical route so I can evaluate whether saving 2 minutes on a 2 hour drive is worth taking some magical mystery tour.

Improve route guidance
Please take your time to analize these factors;
Waze, everytime you release a new update, it doesn’t alway fix or updates one of the most important thing, which is the routing itself, another word;
Waze does not always end the route where it needs to be (it ends somewhere close),
When it comes to apartments complexes, it takes you most of the time through the exit gate instead of the main gain (just because it seeing the final address as closer to the exit, I get it but it it’s not correct),
The “fastest route” it’s not alway the…1 voteThanks for reaching out.
