  1. Route review

    Please update the map. There is no route connection from south greenheights village putatan muntinlupa city to katarungan village specifically on hyacinth street. It is a waste of time for other riders that always misguided by this info.

  2. Toggle navigation options in route

    When already in navigation, and pulling up to see the route options... You should be able to toggle the navigation options, say, in a secondary section below the different routes available.

    Examples:
    - avoid freeways
    - avoid ferries
    - avoid toll roads
    - etc

    That way, you don’t have to go into Th e overall settings of the entire app. The setting stay as default, but the options you toggle are for that specific navigation in progress.

    I sometimes want backroads, or whatever. And I don’t want to change the “entire app“ setting. Just that one time. Flexible. I…

  3. Make optional the route description that states “this is faster than ...”

    I find the Voice additional information regarding what route is slower than the recommended route very annoying. Not really sure if the point.I use the Waze to find the shortest route. It would’ve good if it could be deselected in Setttings.

  5. Request for the road names not to block the street or route you’re going on. It’s very hard to see the route with the signs blocking them.

  6. prioritize environmentally friendly route proposals (with user-value)

    nowadays, it is no longer appropriate to always display the fastest route as the default.
    just today waze wanted to send me from a 25.2 km route to a 49.9 km route because it was 5 minutes faster. I think 14% time savings for a 58% longer and thus a more material- and environment-harming route, not appropriate!
    in addition, vehicles consume less fuel when they drive slower (39 vs 70 km/h average in my example)

    There should be a user-value in the options with defines the accepted time-distance-tradeoff. In my case a value of about 3 km/min would be…

  8. Waze shouldn't remove the old route while it is recalculating a new one

    Sometimes, when I'm driving and using Waze, it identifies me in another street (crossroads, frequently). With that, it starts a new route, show me the RECALCULATING animation and remove the old route.
    The problem is: if the place that it happens, it doesn't have internet connection, I run out the last route and the new one.
    The perfect way, in this case, would be if Waze removes the old route ONLY AFTER get the new one.
    Thanks.

  9. iOS CarPlay missing the graphical bar displaying incidents along the route

    It's awesome that you added Waze to CarPlay. There is a feature I use all the time on my phone which is missing from the CarPlay version and that is to be able to view the graphical bar displaying incidents (hazard, traffic and police) along the route. It would be nice if this could be added to the CarPlay version. Maybe just add an icon to press then press again to make it disappear. The same graphical bar is missing when you view alternate routes. What good is choosing an alternate route if you are not able to…

  10. 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.

  11. 50cc or under 125cc motorbike route options

    Adding routes that are legal for 50cc scooter using Waze both I and friends ended up with tickets or in very dangerous situations - General consensus is to stop using Waze until this is added due to a friend nearly been badly injured due to following Waze motorbike route and ending up on a non permitted road in Rome

  15. Incident/slowdown on map view when selecting route

    About a year ago, when using the map view to select a route on the Android app, you were able to see traffic slowdowns. This was super helpful when trying to decide which route to use. Currently, when you view the list, it shows traffic speeds by color and incidents/hazards/police, but there is no way to know exactly where the accident or slowdown is located. If you look at the map view, the proposed route is all one color, and doesn't show slowdowns or incidents.

    It would be great to at least see the orange, yellow, and red colors for…

  16. "I'm in a parking garage" button to delay route recalculation and map out garages

    An "I'm in a parking garage" button would allow you to:

    1) Delay route recalculation until the car had actually started on the route (10 meters along actual street or so)

    2) Map out existing parking garages for feedback to navigation

    Because fiddling with your phone while driving is illegal in Austin, I prefer to set the route and be done with it before I start driving. Driving in circles around the garage means I typically have to do it afterward if I don't want recalculation to squelch my chosen route (non-toll vs toll for instance).

  17. Waze carpool - Join my ride instead of changing my route

    As a (potential) driver in Waze-carpool, I'd like to enter the route I'm about to use and wait for passengers to take a ride along that route. In the current state i refuse a lot of rides because i don't want to add time to my route.

  18. Automatic route overview

    One feature I miss from iGo was if there were no directions due within two miles the map automatically zoomed out to a North up overview of the entire route. When the two mile threshold was breached the view returned to the normal 3D view. I would love this in Waze. I know that you can do it manually but anything that stops you taking your hands off the wheel is a good thing.

  19. Change of colour on the map as you navigate a route

    When driving a route it would be nice if the colour of the route on the map would change so you would know we're you are going and were you have been. Some times when there are a lot of turns it can become confusing

  20. Stop changing back to default route

    When I choose a route different from the derault, it's for a reason. It's irritating or worse to find mid-trip that I'm back to the default route without even a notice or warning of some kind. How about sticking to the chosen route but notify the driver of a problem ahead?
