Level of guidance option
I would like a new low setting for "level of guidance" under sound settings. I wish I could set it to a two stage tone notifications. Such as one ding x amount of feet before the turn and then a double ding immediately before the turn.
I find that the verbal instructions can be more than necessary in more familiar areas.

Hazard on the Shoulder
When selecting a hazard on the shoulder, there is only an option for a car on the shoulder. How about adding truck on the shoulder?

MPG Tracking
Have a section available (possibly with the gas prices reporting) that allows you to input the amount of gas ($) & quantity (gallons) so you can keep track of how many miles/gallon you're getting.

Car care features implemented in to the Waze
Waze could have same kind of an fuctionality as there are in many car care apps in the market.
-Counting mileages and fuel consumption.
-You could set up odometer reading when u should change oil etc etc and Waze could remind you of that.
-When navigating to a far away destination Waze could warn u if gas should run out before you reach there and suggest gas station en route.For example on iPhone there is app called Gas Cubby that can count mileages and costs for running your car but you have to put in mileage and gas price every time... Waze allready knows those!

Google Now (Jelly Bean) integration
Right now I can fire off navigation from Google Now to Google Maps. Waze is offered as an app to do this, but does not accept the external input of the destination to Navigate to.

Eco mode
How about an Eco mode that would give you a warning beep if you accelerate or decelerate too fast or drive over the posted speed limit? Of course, the driving speed (for traffic) would need adjusted (because if you're driving 10 under the speed limit for MPG reasons that doesn't mean that there's traffic issues).

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.

Could Waze Help Protect Women Driving Alone?
Suggestion: Safety Alerts for High-Risk Routes
As a woman living in South Africa, I really appreciate Waze and the ability to customise my driving preferences, such as avoiding highways and choosing routes that suit my needs. However, I often drive alone to unfamiliar destinations, and I sometimes feel anxious about my personal safety when travelling through areas I don't know well.
My suggestion is for Waze to consider introducing a safety notification feature, similar to its existing speed camera alerts, that warns drivers when a route passes through an area identified as having a higher safety risk. Alternatively, Waze could display a safety risk indicator for each route when users are choosing between different options, allowing them to make more informed decisions about which route to take.
This feature would be particularly valuable for women who frequently travel alone, especially in South Africa, where gender-based violence (GBV) and concerns about personal safety are significant issues. One of my biggest fears when driving alone is experiencing a car breakdown or getting a flat tyre in an unfamiliar area where I may be vulnerable and unable to get help safely.
I believe a feature like this could provide drivers with greater peace of mind, help them plan their journeys more confidently, and make Waze an even more valuable tool for personal safety. I understand that no route can be guaranteed to be completely safe, but having access to relevant safety information could make a meaningful difference. I hope Waze will consider this suggestion, as it could benefit many users, particularly women who want to feel safer and more confident when travelling alone.

New menu "Traffic events" on the app
Currently the only way to get notified about a traffic event is through a push notification that Wazes decides to send to the users that may be affected by that event. This leads to many users not receiving the push notification (phone is off, haven’t driven throught the impacted zone recently…) and don’t get notified about the event.
I propose a new “Traffic events” menú in the app. It would be very useful to people that need to visit a place that has never driven with Waze on because they could check if there is any event impacting traffic in that particular location.
This new menu basically just opens https://www.waze.com/events embedded in the app.

Compass carplay
Add the simple compass to the display in CarPlay. My car does not have a built in compass, but does have its own GPS that does show it, but I prefer to use Waze. It would be nice to have the compass in Waze.
