Mute voice guidance near home/work
Please have an option to mute the voice guidance in a radius of [X] distance from my home, and/or from work. Alerts should not be muted by this setting.
It's annoying that I have to listen to voice guidance near my home -- I know how to get from my house to the main road, thank you very much! But turning the voice off and on again during the drive (during every drive!) is a nuisance and a safety risk.

Drive plus walk
Add option to find quickest route with additional walking. Many times waze navigates to exact location without taking into account faster route to near by location. I personally would rather walk an additional 100 meters to avoid sitting in traffic. This is especially warranted when using a taxi who relies on waze and additional cost is influenced by route. This feature can be an added route option without interfering with the basic platform most users prefer.
1 voteThank you for your suggestion!
Waze can currently direct your partial walking route when it’s a part of a drive or carpool.
We are currently not planning on adding walking mode for complete routes.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram -
Removal of Planned Drives
I really HATE IT that the 'Planned Drives" feature has been removed from the U.I. All that's available now are "Recents". The Planned Drive feature put JUST my planned drives in one spot where it was easy to find them. Now I have to scroll down through all my subsequent drives before finding the trips that I had planned. PLEASE change it back!

Predictive Routing
As awesome as Waze is, the fact that it can never remember my route to work is a little annoying. Every week I drive the same route to the office and Waze takes me on a similar route, I think that if you drive the same route enough times to and from the same locations, Waze should recognize that and load the route you always take as the main route.

Update online help re:Using your personal address book contacts to navigate (for iOS)
Current online forum help does not accurately describe how to enable Waze to access your personal address book contacts to navigate (for iOS). After some back/forth with Waze staff I was able to find how to do so.
To enable Waze to access your personal address book for iPhone
- Ensure you are logged into Waze under the “settings” section
- Open up Waze and press “search”
- Press “Where To?” And it will take you to the next “Where to” screen that shows “Talk to Waze” and “Favorites” below the search bar.
- Below “Favorites” is a button “Search Contacts - Drive to …

The Help Center is NO HELP. When tracking someone's drive, if you leave the app and go back, you can no longer track them. STUPID
When someone sends their ETA and I track their drive, if I leave the app and go to mail or messages, for example, then back to the app, I can no longer track their drive. Fix that please.

There are too many clicks to start driving after choosing a destination. you should add more buttons 1. "Drive" 2. "More Option".
In addition, about voice options, the pane should disappear after choosing...the confirm button is redundant1 vote -
Short audio recording for editors whilst driving with Waze
As an editor, would be great to be able to record short audio comments as I drive with Waze. Waze could pin these at the location recorded and after the drive I could better edit the map in WME. Recordings could have a short life eg 7 day
Would be great for things like "60 km/hr starts here" and "road divided after roundabout" etc etc5 votesAdminElla (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

Drive around for "" minutes when arriving at a destination where parking is scarce
It would be great to have a option when arriving at a destination "go around for 10 minutes". This will enable the driver to quickly drop the passenger and drive around the place guided by waze and bring back to the destination in about 10 minutes. Saves the driver finding a parking place and also saves the driver parking charge especially in city centres which is dearer.

Concentrating on driving mode
Hi
I would like you to add an opening window which will ask me if I want to disconnect from texting apps while driving before I start driving with waze.
Lately we are witnessing too many car accdidents that happen because of texting while driving..
I would like to drive only with wasze working and having the opportunity to answer important phone calls with out texting.
I don't want to see the text messages popping in my phone while driving with waze
Thanks

Driving mode
Waze need a "Driving mode" switch within settings. I'm a Waze user, I use Waze from my car radio 7.5" screen and the only difference is more space for map view. By "Driving mode" is bigger buttons, bigger texts on street names and notifications. While driving you should not need to force reading or hitting a button... It's just an idea that I'm sure will improve a lot Waze usability while driving.

Have an option to adjust the maximum speed limit to account for company speed limits. Working for Hallcon, I can only drive 55 mph at night
Have an option to adjust the maximum speed limit to account for company speed limits. Working for Hallcon, I can only drive 55 mph at night on a two-lane road, 65 mph during the day on a two-lane road, and a maximum of 70 mph for any road. I would like to be able to put this in settings, so that Waze can come up with a better route and ETA for me. I do not like being sent down two-lane roads at night going 55 mph when I could be going down a highway at 67 mph, and could…

Adjustable maximum speed
For enviromental reasons i drive slower than the maximum allowed speed. Would be great if you could enter your maximum speed into waze in order to adjust your ETA
21 votesGreat news! This feature is already available in Waze. It’s called Personalized ETA.
Personalized ETA setting is turned on in Settings – Navigation – Personalized ETA. Waze would analyze the drives you took in the past, calculate how long it took you to drive sections of the route, and compare this information with Waze’s estimates. Then, it uses this info to personalize your ETA whenever you search a route in Waze.
Important: Waze won’t analyze drives that you delete from your drive history. Deleting drives may disable Waze from personalizing your ETA until you take more drives.

carpool
Turn carpool notice OFF !! Retired and drive by myself almost every day. I don't need the Carpool suggestion coming on every time I drive. Really dangerous when using Waze at night and that pops up. It covers my screen and have to tap it to get back to map.

Enable speed and associated icons to be placed on the left or the right side of the navigation screen at drivers discretion
Currently speed icons only display on right side of navigation screen. I drive a right hand drive car and speed icons are obscured by steering wheel and indicator stalks. It would be nice to have option to display the icons on the left or the right side of navigation screen at driver's discretion to facilitate clearer display depending on car navigation screen installed position.
