Wrong Directions Given
I contacted Waze because last night I was in a large mobile home park & kept getting directions to turn where there was no road, getting wrong distances to roads & destination. At one point I was in the middle of the road with no homes around & told I had reached my destination. I was also told that at an intersection. If I hadn't been familiar with the area, it could have been dangerous. There isn't enough distance time given for turning either.

Navigate to direction only works in parked gear
At the moment the only way you can select a place to navigate to is possible when you are in parked gear in your car. The moment your car is in movement, you are unable to choose the point to navigate to. This includes being stationary on red light when the car is in drive gear.
Comparing this to Google maps navigation where you can choose any of your recent addresses to navigate to and the only thing that is not available is using the keyboard.
I understand the safety aspect of selecting the places to drive to when…

New Report Conditions that are South Africa specific
With load shedding the robots (traffic lights) are turned off. This can be a huge hazard at night because you might run through an intersection without realising it. The option to report robots being out (power off, lights out etc) would be a great addition.
Another common issue is beggers who stand in the middle of the road. Once again, in the dark they can be very hard to see.
Another suggest might be taxi stops. In South Africa mini Taxi Busses tend to stop where ever they like. This can at times create an official bus stops. The ability…

Please do not put pick-up points at no-parking area.
More than once, the app directed me to stop at a no parking area for pick up. This is crazy and confusing.

Map pinning on iPhone while using CarPlay
Hello Waze team! Please make it available to see/pin routes on iPhone while using CarPlay with Waze together. Im living in the place where I dont know names of streets(and im new to driving) and can only find the spot by using map. I always have to stop somewhere, disconnect my phone from carplay, find and pin the area, then connect back. Its very painful job, especially when traffic is full and there is no place to park. Whenever I start using waze with car play, I dont have an access to map on screen of my phone, cant…

Adding Fisheries, water police, and marine parks for greater crime detterence.
If fisheries (as they are called in Australia), water police, and marine parks were added as an alert option, many illegal activities could be prevented. Especially in places such as Australia with fragile ecosystems, overfishing could be prevented by knowing that fisheries, water police or marine parks are active and that people should only take what they need. These alerts could be added like police alerts, at boat ramps or on the water for each respective branch of enforcement to keep out marine wildlife safe.

Don't inundate me with popups on startup. . . EVER
I'm happy for you that you're updating your app, but PLEASE STOP throwing popups at me when I start the app afterward. That will only do three things: 1. Piss me off. 2. Endanger my safety and the safety of others during the most dangerous time of driving (pulling out of a parking spot/driveway) with the distractions. 3. Ensure that I never actually see the information you're trying to get me to see.
Please. Use common sense. Don't do this.

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.

Adding new Report Icons for dealing with "Nanny State" Issues...
Hi,
I have been running a community petition on change.org about requesting local governments for more leniency on some of the more "Nanny State" issues we encounter here in Australia. Such as dogs off leash in parks when the parks are empty or outside hours...
As part of this initiative, the community has now decided that we would also go with an additional new plan B, which is to find out the feasibility of having new Report Icons added to Waze so we can handle those issues please ?
The icons required would be as following, with…

Vehicle "attaches" to road
I have noticed that the vehicle icon "attaches" to the road on the map. There are a couple of issues with this. When I am in an unmapped area, such as in a parking lot, the vehicle tends to jump back and forth between its actual location and the nearest road. Also, the exit I take on my morning commute has not updated yet, so WAZE tells me to take the exit prior to it. Even though I do not take that exit the vehicle icon does and shows me driving on the service road rather than on the…

Reliability
I have found that Waze is the most unstable of the three major navigation platforms, which include Apple and Google Maps. It routinely has trouble figuring out where one is starting from which causes the map to freeze while the navigation continues. It also consistently either stops working (loses the route, or begins to submit random, rapidfire directions which are all incorrect). This seems to mostly happen in urban settings. While trying to get our dog to cancer treatment in Boston, your navigator went off the rails, forcing me to pull over in traffic and go to another option to…

Move search bar
Move the search bar you shouldn't be using it unless your parked in the first place. Then the speedometer and warning button fall behind it and it's a pain ********** getting them up when you should be focused on driving

Don't Record Client Tracks within Origin/Dest Zone
As a new wazer and getting into editing I noticed several "map problems" and new roads caused by entering/exiting parking lot or building structures.
Current work around is to add Parking POIs or add the parking lot roads as road type parking.
I believe this could be alleviated by simply not having Waze client record or "count" the GPS track within a set distance from Origin (time device first plugged in or new navigation started) and Destination (device turned off or navigation stopped)
I would recommend a distance of about 100 yards.
This should help cut…
