Auto Acknowledgement: Feature Suggestion: “Same Route Return” or “Route Memory” for Personalized Navigation
Auto Acknowledgement: Feature Suggestion: “Same Route Return” or “Route Memory” for Personalized Navigation
Dear Waze Map Team,
I’m writing to suggest a useful feature that could enhance the user experience for many drivers, especially those who prefer traveling familiar routes.
Feature Idea: Route Memory or Same Route ReturnThe idea is to allow users to record and save the exact route they take from Point A to Point B, so that they can later choose to return using the same exact path — even if the system finds alternate “faster” or “better” options on the return journey.

Refined Searches Along my Route
I oftentimes use the search tool to find places along my route.
It would be great to limit results within X miles of my current location and no more than a Y-minute detour off my route. I sometimes get results that are hundreds of miles away. It’s not very helpful.2 votes -
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.

Visual-aid for showing recency of data along route.
Whether I am driving along a major interstate, or an empty country road, it would be a major confidence boost to know, in real time, whether the route I'm driving is being heavily or lightly traveled by other wazers.
For example; I am driving on a country road in Texas and there are no reports along my route for miles. Does that mean the route is free of police and hazards, or am I the only Wazer on the road in this part of town?

Give reason for suggested route change.
- Have tone or spoken message that there is a suggested route change to draw your attention to something on the screen.
- Have the message stay on screen until acknowledged.
- Have default to stay on selected route, if reason is just quicker by a few minutes or shorter.
- Only change route IF traffic is blocked or significant delay due to accident or some other non normal event.

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…

Bring back the “fastest route”, “add speed cameras”
Fastest route was removed from the app. Also at 3361 third avenue in the Bronx NY there is no camera icon for an installed camera in front of the addresses referenced in this message. Further we need a feature to add bus lane cameras, school zone start and end zone speed enforcement cameras

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.

Route guidance Audio
Fantastic app. Well done and thank you.
In a future release, would it be possible to
Optionally have the route guidance to the drivers side of the vehicle only so as not to disturb sleeping children / passengers?
Optionally have the route guidance sent to bluetooth earbuds, not the car audio so that only the driver hears it.
Thank you for all your excellent work.

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

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.

Improve route guidance
Please take your time to analize these factors;
Waze, everytime you release a new update, it doesn’t alway fix or updates one of the most important thing, which is the routing itself, another word;
Waze does not always end the route where it needs to be (it ends somewhere close),
When it comes to apartments complexes, it takes you most of the time through the exit gate instead of the main gain (just because it seeing the final address as closer to the exit, I get it but it it’s not correct),
The “fastest route” it’s not alway the…1 voteThanks for reaching out.

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…

Clicking any "All Turns" list item zooms to location (upcoming in route)
During navigation, there is no short/simple way to look at a location point of your route ahead. Regardless, a simple and low click, logical solution would be to achieve looking at your upcoming route point for traffic purposes (or whatever reason) would be looking at your "All Turns" list (1 click) then one could scroll through all the upcoming turns, select a location (2nd click), and the screen then reverts to your map route, but targeted to view the turn selected on the "All Turns" list. Returning to the original view where the experience started is as simple as…

Route plan bug
Hello,
For at least 2 months there's a very very frustrating bug when trying to calculate a planned drive.
If you wish to calculate a drive for tomorrow and the route driving time crosses today's current midnight, then the calculation says "route to long, recalculating with new arrival day" - see attached screenshot.This recalculation loops and doesn't end and you need to wait for past midnight inorder to actually be in the next day and get a prediction for your drive in the following morning.
Annoying!
Why does it take you so long to fix this issue?

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
