Ability to name drive plan
The ability to plan the drive and get the notification to leave on time is super helpful but I wish I could name them without plan it in the calendar event to have it named.

It would be nice to just disable the Search bar from view for regular driving when there is no active Waze navigation going on.
yes, I can confirm that the Search bar does indeed disappear from the view when actively navigating. However the issue is that it blocks the view at the bottom when you are just driving normally around when you don't need any navigation and you know where you are going, and you are just contributing the real-time data of the current traffic conditions and you can provide user-submitted reports along the way. It would be nice to just disable the Search bar from view for regular driving when there is no active Waze navigation going on. Thank you for your consideration.
9 votesThanks for your suggestion. Search bar automatically hides after around 30 seconds driving without navigation.

Share Drive Favorites missing
Why when trying to share drive, favorite contacts are not there anymore? It was an option until a few months ago, You have to now select text, then search for the contact your trying to share your drive with, it is a big hassle, especially when trying to drive, it is really bad that this was removed, it can cause an accident trying to search for someone/typing in their name!

Driving Police
I've got a feature idea I'm sure everyone appreciates. An addition to the cop reporting that includes ones driving on the road. You know how there's no "report ahead" as you speed a little, then the car you pass up you see the cop car features better and slam the brakes? Add a reporting feature that says something like -"Caution police driving ahead" Still there? -And have it set to ask every 5 miles on the highway Does that make sense?

REINSTATING THE PREVIOUSLY USED ADDRESSES FUNCTION WHILE DRIVING
Prior to driving to a new area or a new destination I will drop in addresses/locations into Waze and use them as waypoints as I am traveling. Also, when I am in a new area and I have previously found businesses, etc. that I frequent I would like to be able to have access to those address locations while I am driving like before. Now with the new voice only look up of a business while driving I no longer have access to said previously located addresses or waypoints while driving. I cannot begin to tell you how frustrating this…

ALWAYS display the destination address please! It helps when driving for Lyft & Uber.
If it's always displayed I won't have to switch off the waze app and go to my Lyft or Uber app to verify address. PLEASE include in next update! It can be a SAFETY HAZARD! Thank you!

Short audio recording for editors whilst driving with Waze
As an editor, would be great to be able to record short audio comments as I drive with Waze. Waze could pin these at the location recorded and after the drive I could better edit the map in WME. Recordings could have a short life eg 7 day
Would be great for things like "60 km/hr starts here" and "road divided after roundabout" etc etc5 votesAdminElla (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

Waze Learn the Area mode
Learn your way around a new town with Waze.
When entering your selection Waze would give you a step by step guide to the route that the user tries to memorise.
The user then drives the route and learns their way around their new surroundings. As they approach junctions and turns they can confirm via voice that they are taking the correct route, and Waze will confirm or correct.
Using this mode can help people learn new surroundings or be used by new drivers.2 votes -

Allow people to upload their own Waze profile picture (like their car) to get easily identified while driving...
Hi people. Please forgive me for my average English, I'm a French Waze user...
At the moment, the only way to display a picture when clicking on a Wazer is to link your Facebook account with your Waze client.
I guess that a lot of people (like me) don't want to link their Facebook profile with the Waze client or they don't own one.
My idea => Create a function on the Waze client to allow people to upload their own pictures.
The goal => When a Wazer is in the vicinity of your location, you can click on it…

Replace usual "danger icon" by an icon with an image showing type of danger, easier to identify while driving
It should be an great idea to replace actual "danger icon" by different icons showing type of danger.
With actual one, we can identify a danger, that's great, but while driving, it is sometimes difficult to handle smartphone to identify danger origin.
"An image equal 1000 words", so just have a look on smartphone display is better than handle to recognize type of danger !8 votes -
Use phone's music apps like Samsung Music in Waze instead of streaming apps like Spotify
At the moment we can only use streaming services with Waze, rather than using our phone's built in media players to play music saved to our phone.
This is really impractical for long drives - I lose mobile signal all the time when I'm driving between towns and cities, and streaming services are no good for that
Also, streaming services are usually no good unless you pay for a premium version, otherwise you are constantly jarred by adverts
As it stands, I constantly have to touch my phone screen while driving, to switch between Waze and my local music player…3 votes -
Cambridge MA Memorial Drive closings
The Waze app never accounts for a routine road closure on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, MA, which occurs Sundays 11am-7pm from late April to early November. This creates chaos as the app continues to try to direct users back to this route. Please see the Cambridge website for more detail and exact dates: https://www.cambridgema.gov/traffic/engineeringplanning/memorialdriveclosing

Resume drive notification
A toggle to send silent notification.
Resume drive notification option when waze was stopped without exiting navigation.This could be a nice option to me and for everyone that eccidentaly closes the app by clearing apps. And also when you are driving and waze is stopped by system.
For me the app closes automatically on my mate 20 Pro while I'm navigating with sound direction via headphones. And I am not even aware when it happens. With this option I would be able to change the notification sound for that and know waze has closed and resume with one click.

Wazer statistics make posted speed limits obsolete
When driving in fog, darkness or on unfamiliar roads I want a warning from Waze, if my speed is greater than (say) the 90th percentile of the Wazer statistical distribution for my position and driving direction.
I would also like to be alerted if another Wazer near before me drives much slower than I do.
BACKGROUND
Guidelines from location- and real-time data on the speed of Wazers should be more safety-relevant than rigidly posted speed limits, constant over both time and long distances.
=== Police Supervision of Posted Speed Limits Obsolete ===
Such functions in Waze may contribute considerably to…

Google maos and waze on the same page
My boyfriend insists on using google maos instead of waze and I know waze is owned by google so then why does waze properly show people how to get to my work at Pentair in Apopka fl but when uber drivers and friends and him use google maps it tell them to turn down the street before my work which doesn't connect and is residential? It drives me nuts! Please fix.

Enable Speech-to-Text for Map Update Requests While Driving (via Android Auto and CarPlay)
I would like to suggest an improvement to Waze that would allow users to fill out map update requests (URs) using speech-to-text while driving, particularly when connected through Android Auto or CarPlay.
Currently, when users select a map update option (such as "Incorrect address," "Missing road," or "Speed limit") while driving, there is no way to add a description of the issue. This limits the ability to provide detailed reports and often results in incomplete information being submitted. With speech-to-text functionality, users could quickly and safely dictate descriptions of the problem without having to stop or manually type anything.
For…
