Forced approach direction
There needs to be a way to tell Waze to map your approach to arrive from a specific direction.
Example: The cathedral in downtown Los Angeles is on the northeast corner of Temple and Hill streets. The only access to the parking lot is to turn right from southbound Hill street. You can't make a left into the lot from northbound Hill Street, and there is no access at all from easebound or westbound Temple Street.So having some method of specifying an approach direction (in this case) "southbound only approach") would be wonderful.

Car height option in settings
Add a extra setting on car height because it can be a variable like with a roofbox. So you can adapt your route depending height restrictions (tunnels or parkings)

Make parking position persistent up to some action.
Some times the car position disappear for unclear reasons. It seems to be non persistent, even to mundane manipulations of the app. Therefore, after a while, my car parking position has disappeared, while it was there when I parked the car. This is annoying, because since I have seen my car’s location on the app, I do not make much efforts to remember it’s position!

Who at Waze wrote the memo that things must be hard.
All I want Waze to do is get me from point A to B. This morning was in a rush, typed in mr destination address and I was then directed to input info. into Facebook and other social media. I divorced myself from Facebook years ago. They are a dog breath outfit. Why would Waze send me there?
There was no exit button, no way for me to get out of this so I logged off and got my direction from Google map.
Just make things simple, just give directions.1 voteThanks for reaching out.

Points of interest car play
Please add to apple car play the function to easily search for points of interest such as parking or fuel. You can do this on the app but there isn’t a way to do this on car play. You have to use voice search or type in manually “parking”

Add Unpaved as property for a Parking Lot
It would be good to be able to inform users that a parking lot is unpaved by adding a check box in the Facility section on the More Info tab in WME.
Especially during adverse weather it could help users decide to not go to a certain parking lot if its unpaved.
If lack of room is an issue, the Carwash option could be used instead, as that can be made a separate point place1 vote -
STOP 180° car rotation when standing still
So I come to a stop light, and after a while, my car and map (not the screen) rotates, I guess, as it thinks I actually did make a U turn. Problem is my speed is 0km/h. It happens even when you have a destination to navigate to, and then, all of u sudden, I'm turned around and I'm being shown to make first to the right. I start driving, the whole thing rotates ones again, and I miss my left turn !?!?! I think it's because it get's a satellite position which shifted a bit, so it thinks that…

A smartphone app that looks for free Parking spots
The app is a paid app. The user pays 120 tokens per year. For this, he receives information about the locations of free Parking.
The use of the information about free Parking you have to pay 1 token. The token is debited from the account automatically when the user is declared by the application location. When the user leaves the location, then the location is considered to be free. The information that the user has left the place, can be read with the help of geolocation.
Every time the user finds somewhere free Parking, ihe can inform…1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Closed locations
Multiple times, I have been taken miles off of my route to go to a certain store or rest stop or gas station, only to arrive and discover that it’s either permanently closed or hasn’t been opened for business yet (I’m not talking business hours. I’m talking “still under construction.”) this is infuriating. Please allow us to mark locations as permanently closed or have the app notify us that it’s not open yet. I’m tired of pulling into a closed parking lot because Waze told me something was open. I opened the app to try and mark the location…

Navigate to direction only works in parked gear
At the moment the only way you can select a place to navigate to is possible when you are in parked gear in your car. The moment your car is in movement, you are unable to choose the point to navigate to. This includes being stationary on red light when the car is in drive gear.
Comparing this to Google maps navigation where you can choose any of your recent addresses to navigate to and the only thing that is not available is using the keyboard.
I understand the safety aspect of selecting the places to drive to when…

Wrong Directions Given
I contacted Waze because last night I was in a large mobile home park & kept getting directions to turn where there was no road, getting wrong distances to roads & destination. At one point I was in the middle of the road with no homes around & told I had reached my destination. I was also told that at an intersection. If I hadn't been familiar with the area, it could have been dangerous. There isn't enough distance time given for turning either.

My idea is to put Cornwall Road Croydon CR0 3RD in the right place. It it NOT Kemble Road CR0 4JP which is on the opposite side of the park.
Just make it right, please. My new nurse used WAZE yesterday and almost didn't get to me. Not the first time that Cornwall Road residents have had a problem. AA route planner also has it wrong.

Allow user to see turn-by-turn direction list when using Waze via Android Auto.
When connected via Android Auto and using Waze there is no means to pull up the turn-by-turn directions list, even if the vehicle is parked. This forces the driver to drive "blind", not knowing what to expect between the start of the trip and the destination. In city use cases, this makes Waze via Android Auto unusable.

New Report Conditions that are South Africa specific
With load shedding the robots (traffic lights) are turned off. This can be a huge hazard at night because you might run through an intersection without realising it. The option to report robots being out (power off, lights out etc) would be a great addition.
Another common issue is beggers who stand in the middle of the road. Once again, in the dark they can be very hard to see.
Another suggest might be taxi stops. In South Africa mini Taxi Busses tend to stop where ever they like. This can at times create an official bus stops. The ability…

Please do not put pick-up points at no-parking area.
More than once, the app directed me to stop at a no parking area for pick up. This is crazy and confusing.

Don't inundate me with popups on startup. . . EVER
I'm happy for you that you're updating your app, but PLEASE STOP throwing popups at me when I start the app afterward. That will only do three things: 1. Piss me off. 2. Endanger my safety and the safety of others during the most dangerous time of driving (pulling out of a parking spot/driveway) with the distractions. 3. Ensure that I never actually see the information you're trying to get me to see.
Please. Use common sense. Don't do this.
