  2. Make Waze continue running in background untill it is turned off

    I use my phone for more than just Waze when I'm driving. Waze does not consistently run in the background when I switch to control another app (even when I'm driving on the highway at 65 mph). I'd really like to see an option in settings to keep Waze active until I manually exit. Alternatively, how about an option that keeps Waze active as long as my phone is in the car dock?

  4. Option to share your drive

    It would be awesome to be able to share my drive and MUSIC with those I've decided to share my ride with. Just like TWITCH or Facebook live. So that when people you're going to pick up can chat with you live and hear whatever track youve got going. Adding something like twitch, fb live or periscope functionality would make waze The Ultimate social GPS!

  5. TTS: Regional or state-level pronunciation

    TTS pronunciation of cities and roads needs to have more granular control as words may be pronounced differently in various regions of a country.

  6. Auto turn off once within “x” amount of miles from location (I.E.) home

    Also once you’re in your town. It’d be nice to finish your ride without a turn by turn over your music while getting home:) !

  7. Turn off construction alert - bug and improvement

    There are other suggestions for this but some are old so I am also adding a new one. The audible alerts for costruction and not at all helpful and very annoying. I have selected to not show alerts for construction yet they show on the map. One zone near me has up to 5 different alerts from people throughout the construction zone, including a spot where the "End Road Work" sign is visible. I get it, people (hopefully passengers) are bored and play with the app. But the audible warnings interrupt my music or podcast and get very frustrating.

  8. Keep +/- visible using Android Auto

    The +/- icon disappears in motion when using navigation and Android Auto. The Mazda UI uses physical controls without touch, so zooming becomes impossible

  9. Traffic fixer/ Auto Traffic Control

    Use the wazer data to "improve" traffic scenarios. Like serving as air traffic control, waze could recommend speed to reduce the stop and go of traffic and "fix" one of the causes of traffic from driving habits. Would prob need to expand functionality to identify travel lane .. But with the number wazers around it could have huge impact

  10. Add a brightness control to compensate in app for night driving and sunny days

    At night I find my phone screen is to bright to have running, I alter this using the brightness in phone settings but this is a long winded excessive, would be better to have an in app slider or on screen button to control brightness or a 3 finger drag say up and down the screen would be amazing. This would work in the opposite during sunny days when a greater backlight is required.

  11. Waze takes up too much space in CarPlay split screen mode

    Waze takes up too much unnecessary space on the right side of the screen when using CarPlay split screen, to the point where you cannot see the music title anymore. This only happens when there is a lane indicator (see link below). Google and Apple Maps don’t have this issue. This should be adjusted so your music title is not hidden when the lane indicator is active.

  12. New Report- temporary traffic lights

    Hello Waze,
    A lot of roadworks in London are controlled by Temporary Traffic Lights
    Which can be 2-Way (50% green)
    Also can be 3-Way (33% green)
    And can be 4-Way (25% green)
    Therefore I suggest :

    Hazard ->On the Road -> Temp T/L -> 2Way

    Hazard ->On the Road -> Temp T/L -> 3Way

    Hazard ->On the Road -> Temp T/L -> 4Way

    Looking forward to your feedback

  13. How to increase pedestrians and cyclists safety

    How to increase pedestrians and cyclists safety
    By defining new Waze modes of operation, the central computer could get the location of any pedestrian or cyclist connected to the Waze application.
    The following safety features could be specially helpful when the weather is misty or rainy:
    The central computer could derive that a pedestrian is crossing a wide road and could inform the near by vehicle drivers. As a result the driver will slow down.
    When driving on a narrow road, any car driver could be warned that he is approaching of a walking pedestrian or of a bicycle rider…

  14. il faudrait pouvoir signaler un problème dans les 2 sens en même temps.

    Quand on signale un problème tel que contrôle de police par exemple,
    Il n'y a la possibilité de le signaler que dans "mon sens" ou "sens inverse".
    Or il arrive quelque fois que le contrôle se fasse dans les 2 sens. Il est alors impossibe de signaler les 2!

    Je suggère de rajouter un 3ème choix "dans les 2 sens".

    Cordialement

    Thank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is now integrated with several audio apps including Spotify, Deezer, TuneIn, iHeart Radio, Pandora and more. Just go to Settings > Audio Player and pick your favorite app.

  16. Long Time Report from WME or Livemap

    I think this is something that has been asked and requested for a long time from all over the world.
    I think that it would be very useful to be able to insert Long Time Reports from WME or Livemap, also in order to better manage crisis or event situations.
    The Report should Be:
    Work on Road
    Narrow or Low Road
    Dangerous Road
    Landslide
    Changing lane
    One way alternatively controlled by traffic light

  19. Add a setting to eliminate events

    There is a setting to limit the number of events to On route only, 5 miles, 10 miles, etc, but there is no way to completely eliminate event pop ups. This is very annoying as I use my phone to listen to music and every time I get a n event pop up, the music stops for a few seconds. Please create and option to have no event pop ups.

    Thank you.

  20. Finer control of what hazards display on the map.

    This request seeks to add a finer control of which type of things appear on the map. I don't need to see construction crews, or weather hazards, or missing signs. I only need to see road debris, stopped vehicles, roadside assistance requests, and police. But currently, the options don't give you the choice of specific things you would like to see.

    What I'm proposing is to break out the current "Hazards" category under Display & Map / Details on Map into each of the hazard categories available, so that users can select or deselect the hazards they care about seeing…
