Add more levels too Avoid Highway option
With the Avoid Highway option off, Waze is way too aggressive in routing to freeways. The the Avoid Highway on, all types of highways are avoided from minor to freeway. There should be additional options to Avoid Freeways, Avoid Major Highways and Freeways.
Yes, Waze is supposed to figure out the best route based on information without this level of direction, but in fact it does not, at least in some areas. These options would allow some user input based on experience in directing the routing.
This would be especially useful for trips that include multiple type of environments…

Automatically start saved route when in car (Android Auto/Apple Carplay)
It would be cool if you could save a router and set it to start automatically the next time you connect to android auto/apple carplay.
It would be a neat little time saver.
For people without auto/carplay this feature could use a specific Bluetooth device as car detection.

Say which direction to go at a fork
Waze never says which way to go when there is a fork in the road. Yes, for the most part, one way is staying on the road, but there is usually no way of knowing without looking at the gps. This of course is dangerous because you are taking your eyes off the road.
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.

keep directions on the screen
Using Waze is for directions of not knowing where to go so I think you need to go back to the small alerts on the screen instead of taking up the directions spot and having them disappear. It’s very frustrating trying to find your way through a city you’ve never driven in before when the directions keep disappearing to alert you that there’s a car on the side of the road.
32 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

When I stop apps I don't want running, I expect then to stay stopped. Coming close to deleting Waze.

Tunnel Navigation bluetooth OBDII
Typically GPS signal is lost in long tunnels. Why not include a waze connection to a bluetooth enabled OBDII device in your car to give accurate speed. The direction is immaterial as the tunnel path is well known.The devices are cheap about $5 to $20 on ebay. Waze would benefit by knowing speed through tunnels. Yes, beacons are good, but not if they are sparsely placed.

Incorporate BMW/MINI Connected into Waze.
I'm not suggesting that the map show on the screen, just the ability to report events and respond to questions such as traffic slowdowns. Ok, and maybe start nav...
Much safer than having to look down at the phone.

Burn it down and start over
Maybe be able to exit current navigation without having to unplug phone from car? Can’t exit from vehicle screen or app. It just keeps talking and giving directions you no longer need and have no ability to input new without closing app, unplugging and starting over. Unsafe and laughable.
Add waypoints?
Satellite imagery?
Can’t believe my friend actually likes this app.

Please add lane guidance to the Heads up display in carplay
Please add lane guidance to the Heads up display in carplay. If we have to look at main display for the lane direction, it makes the heads up display useless. So kindly complete the heads up display support by giving lane guidance on it.

Floating window on exit
Would like Waze to implement "floating" window on exit. Or atleast have pop up notification of the next direction, like Google maps has. When I close out Waze, I have no way of knowing the next step unless I reopen app.

Option of having the ZOOM permanently !!
It is better to see intersections in viaducts, etc.
At medium speed without changing routes, we only see one STRAIGHT LINE direction, BUT often there are small forks, and you do not see if the direction is right or left, because the ZOOM is out. With the Zoom you will be ABLE TO SEE which direction take. (There will no voice to help, since the waze "understand" we have to continue in the principal route...
And it will be the USER option: Automatic, or Permanet Zoom !!2 votes -
Distance / speed based voice guidance directions
It used to be you can select how far from a turn or direction for guidance could be selected. You removed this quite some time ago. There used to be three or so options to choose from.
I believe the distance options were 1400/1200 feet.; 750 feet; & 200 feet or something like this. This would be good because sometimes it takes to long to get the direction or it tells me too late or too far away.
Or maybe make it speed dependent. That way if I slow down it's because I'm close and looking or if I'm going…

Bug: Chosen route changes to shortest route after stopping without warning
I've discovered that if I choose one of the alternate routes (if it is longer), and start navigating that route, if I go off the route and stop, say, for lunch, when I return to Waze it has rerouted to the default shortest route rather than the original alternate I had chosen. In one case I was unaware of this at first and it started taking me in the opposite direction in order to connect to what was (originally) the shortest route, but due to my current location was now a much longer route.
That or the "shortest route"…

Sometimes is confusing when a viaduct goes along over a street.
I have faced a few times when Waze just say something like "keep your left" and there is an entrance to a viaduct or a street. Both going to the same direction at first, and I took the viaduct and Waze start to directions and I had realised that I should have taken the street below.... It is confusing and annoying.

Remove annoying ads during navigation
Remove annoying ads during navigation. They appear while stopped, but sometimes they don't disappear when you start moving again. Very annoying and unsafe.
20 votesThank you for your suggestion! We try to make our ads as useful as possible to Wazers. An ad-free version is not planned for the near future.
