Allow other users to send address to my handheld client
Allow facebook friends, waze group members, etc. to send an address to my handheld client if I am online.
1) When an address is recieved by the client, ask the user to accept the route, reject the route or block all address pings.
2) If I don't have a route set, auto accept the aaddress after 10 seconds.
3) Add a new category to the Address Search dialog similar to My Favorites, Recent searches, Contacts, etc. List the received addresses for easy access.9 votes -
System constantly reroutes then the server times out & deletes exsiting route
When I set a route the system constantly reroutes almost every quarter to half a mile. At least 50% if not greater I will then get a message that the server timed out. This wouldn't be so bad except that when this happens it deletes the route I'm trying to follow until it tries again and usually then the server returns a route. This makes Waze virtually unusable. Please make it that once Waze has a route that it continues displaying and following that route until it gets new information from the user or server for a new route. Even if this results in a less than optimal route because of traffic it is better than no route at all (especially if the route I was following takes me in an unfamiliar part of town).

Notifications in Android Notification bar when Waze is in the background
I would like to see an icon popup next to the Waze icon in the Android Notification bar when people send a Ping, comment to your chat, or when an event like police or accidents have been reported. This would be useful when Waze is in the background.

Shut Down UserVoice
Yes, the title is clickbait. But that really is the end goal!
Let’s get straight to the point: UserVoice has done an excellent job of centralizing Waze community suggestions in a tool specifically designed for that purpose. However, after years of cumulative use, it has become clear that managing it has grown increasingly difficult.
And now, entering the scene: Discuss.
Discuss has opened up a whole new range of possibilities for community interaction. It is a technically modern platform, with a pleasant user experience and strong functional versatility.
There is no doubt that Discuss is capable of absorbing all the functions currently handled by UserVoice. Every feature available in UserVoice can find an equivalent within Discuss.
Voting, reactions, comments, categories, tagging, listings, sorting, posting — everything you can do in UserVoice is also available in Discuss.
Automatic translation? New post notifications? Tables? Emojis? Permalinks? User avatars and badges? AI-generated topic summaries? User permission levels? Bookmarking favorites?
Discuss has it all. Sometimes it really feels like Discuss was designed for exactly this purpose.
Beyond feature parity, Discuss also offers practical advantages. For example, posting an image in UserVoice requires pasting a link to an external file — just like in the old forum days. Discuss allows direct uploads.
By the way, here’s an image that visually highlights some of the parallels between UserVoice and Discuss: https://i.imgur.com/A4yrPhL.jpeg
Defending a suggestion requires much more than words. Images and videos, for example, can be extremely helpful in presenting a concept in a far more compelling way.
Moderation and content management are also native strengths of Discuss. Moving or hiding comments, splitting or merging topics, and issuing user warnings are built-in capabilities, with clear operational advantages.
From a platform perspective, centralizing users within the Discuss environment — with unified login and content hosted under the Waze umbrella — is both technically sound and timely. It also encourages user recirculation, increasing the chances that someone who submits a suggestion will engage with ongoing discussions, and vice versa. On top of that, it’s simply more convenient, more robust, and better looking.
At this point, only a few minor adjustments would be needed, such as creating a screen to encourage users to search for similar suggestions before posting, and adding tags to indicate the status assigned by the staff. Nothing that can’t be done.
This isn’t about shutting down UserVoice. It’s about building a single, modern home for feedback, discussion, and collaboration — where ideas don’t just get submitted, they get shaped.

Car Play Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze Turn By Turn Dirrections Appearing On Instrument Cluster
Please allow users to enable and disable turn-by-turn directions in the instrument cluster. I don’t want to see it on my instrument cluster when I already have it on my navigation screen. Turn-by-turn directions on the instrument cluster were only available before on Apple Maps, recently Google Maps added it without any mention in the app update notes and no option in the settings to turn it off. I’m glad it’s not yet available on Waze because users can not turn off this feature in vehicle settings CarPlay settings, phone settings not even steering wheel settings! The only way to disable it is with a dealer scan tool! Unless Apple, Maps Car CarPlay, and Waze add this as an option in their next update please make it an option in the settings for on / off to give customers the choice on the maps they are using. I have spent hours doing research and reading forums users are frustrated. I contacted Apple Maps / CarPlay and Google Maps as well. They need to add this as an option because what customers like me have discovered is that it’s not necessary to show it in the instrument cluster when it’s been previewed on a large navigation screen. Let me know if this clears up confusion. Please help to get this resolved next update need and include it in the update notes. Community please help us push this topic to the powers at be and shed light on this asap Thanks.

Optional Weather/storm overlay
I think it would help to have an optional weather overlay into the app. Alerts concerning weather from other users are great but this would be a game changer.
