Detour capability
I would like for the ability to determine a detour to the current route. For example, if the highway you are on is blocked, slow or closed due to an accident, you can push a detour option/button and select the distance of the detour (1/2 mile, 1 mile, 2 miles, 5 miles, 10 miles...) or maybe the system can suggest the detour length based on what it knows of the traffic conditions ahead. Once your determined detour distance is exhausted, you are routed back to your original route. Many GPS Nav systems today have this capability/feature and is very useful. Garmin does this very well.

Change the color of the exit signs from background yellow and white lettering. It's too difficult to see
You recently changed the color of exit signs to background yellow withwhite lettering. I cannot see the number of the exit with white lettering. Please change the background to darker, or the lettering to a dark color.

Mute re-routing sound
The constant re-routing sound waze makes when I choose not to take the exact route she wants me to, or because I kiss a turn is loud in my Bluetooth and even though I have the sound turned down its still annoying. I know she is going to re-route me so I don't need that loud Beep she makes. No other GPS device does this. If we could please have an option to mute this, then that would be amazing. Thanks.
99 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

police
Please reinstate the "Police on Other Side" feature. Reporting speed traps is the most useful reason to report police, and traffic moving in opposite direction will always be better suited to identify and report.

Have an Apple watch app.
I'm deaf myself. I love the Apple maps notifying me when it's time to turn since I can't hear the gps. But I love Waze because of its features. But I would love it more if it had the turn by turn notifications on my watch. It would be so much more helpful.
98 votesThank you for your suggestion! We are currently not planning on adding Apple Watch support.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s blog and social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -

Lock the chosen route
When i choose a route, I want the option to just follow that without change! Sometimes waze changes the route because of allegedly less traffic route, but the reroute takes me longer & farther! Sometimes I just want to stick with the original route! Give us this choice!

Remove 'Reported map issue' from UR description
This auto generated "Reported map issue" text in the description field isn't adding much value.
In fact that field is supposed to be extra info from the user..
96 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Keep Waze on top of Lock Screen
This is an option to keep waze on top of the lock screen because I shut the screen off during my commute to save battery and when I press the button to turn it on, it still requires me to unlock my phone before getting back to the Waze navigation screen
96 votesPlease use battery saver mode for such cases. It won’t drain your battery that much, while you’ll still be able to access Waze by a single tap on screen.

Single Lane with/without passing places
In the UK, we have a large number of narrow two way roads which are often only the width of a single vehicle. You can often meet oncoming traffic head-on with no easy way of passing unless one driver decides to reverse. Either that, or at best, you both end up with scratched paintwork.
Waze has no way of knowing which roads are narrow, so will often route along this type of road. Many of us would prefer to take a longer route to avoid this type of road.
I suggest that within WME we have a tickbox option of "narrow road with/without passing places".
Then, within the app, the user will have an option to avoid this type of road, just as they do with toll roads, motorways, etc.I have suggested this at the last two UK conferences, both times with reasonable support from other delegates, but thus far, Waze has ignored this popular suggestion.

Support Pebble watch (getpebble.com)
The Pebble is a smart watch with an SDK for Android / iOS. Being able to integrate with it would allow users to quickly report traffic instances without using the phone interface. Just click a button on the watch and it reports heavy traffic por example.
95 votesThank you for your suggestion! We are currently not planning on adding Pebble support.

Police
Sorry to upset all of the folks asking for more features to warn of police presence but this is a childish feature which should be removed. Waze is a great app and you would be best served by taking the "high road" and promoting the app as an aid to road safety by making drivers aware of road situations and hazards. But many wazers like me have their kids also driving and I am just waiting with dread for the day that a fellow wazer tells a drunken driver how to avoid a policeman and then that drunk driver kills the wazer's kid. The police are mainly there for our safety - protect our kids and don't tell dangerous drivers where the police are!!

Besoins d'un mode de navigation poid lourd.
Bonjour,
En tant que professionnel utilisant Waze quotidiennement, je tiens à soumettre une demande forte : l'intégration d'un mode de navigation spécifique pour les Poids Lourds.
J'utilise Waze pour sa précision sur le trafic, mais l'absence de gestion des gabarits est un vrai handicap pour le travail en camion. Lorsque je dois me rendre sur des sites de livraison inconnus ou des zones de chargement, je me retrouve trop souvent sur des routes inadaptées : voies trop étroites, ponts à hauteur limitée ou restrictions de tonnage.
Intégrer un profil 'Camion' permettrait de :
Sécuriser nos trajets en évitant les routes interdites aux poids lourds.
Gagner un temps précieux en évitant les demi-tours impossibles ou les blocages.
Conserver la puissance de la communauté Waze pour les alertes routières, tout en ayant une navigation adaptée à notre gabarit.
Waze est l'application la plus performante pour le trafic, nous sommes très nombreux dans le milieu du transport à attendre cette fonctionnalité pour ne plus avoir à basculer sur un second GPS.
Merci de considérer cette évolution pour les professionnels de la route.Bonjour,
