For Right Hand Drive countries, give directions from the right speaker.
I live in a RHD country and the directions from Waze come out of the front left hand speaker - which makes perfect sense in the (majority) LHD countries, but is quite hard to hear in certain circumstances.
Either the sound should come equally out of both front speakers or it should be localised so that in LHD countries it comes out of the left speaker, and in RHD countries it comes out of the right speaker so it's closest to the driver.

Call or text a friend before pickup
a feature that lets you mark contacts as friends you're picking up, maybe save their addresses.
and 5 minutes before reaching the destination to pick up the friend
Send an auto text saying something like "hey it's waze, name will pick up you up in 5 minutes, (s)he's driving a black toyota"
And by 2 minutes before, suggest to call that friend, or auto call to let him/her know that you're out, waiting.
All of this planned when starting off the navigation, and without touching the phone.2 votes -

Share location with family/friends
I would love the ability to use this app in place of another (for example, Life360) so that I can track my family's location and they can track mine. With arrival and departure alerts settings too.

Rachel navigation voice back
The Developers have change the standard Brazilian navigation voice from Rachel to Alessandra.
The new voice it's to low. The voice misses some intonation.
This causes many navigation/driving mistakes to the user, including me and my friends that I talk about it.
Please, we need the Rachel voice back.4 votesThank you for your suggestion!
As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!
Want to try another voice?
Tap Menu and tap the Settings wheel.
Tap Voice & sound.
Tap Voice Language and select the voice you’d like to use. -
Full screen view
My Waze and search fields take almost half of the screen space in landscape mode. This is getting out of hand. Add an option to hide them when I drive without navigation please.
22 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Make map chats into a full messaging feature.
Map chats usually pop up and then disappear after a while, leaving no trace. I would like to be able to get back the chats I receive and respond to them later when I'm not driving. This would increase the 'socialness' of Waze and maybe even lead to making new friends on the road.

Stop Drive button when pressing back button in android
I hope this email finds you well. As an avid user of the Waze app, I appreciate the features it offers for navigation and traffic updates. However, I'd like to suggest an improvement to the user interface that could make the navigation experience even more seamless.
When using Waze in "explore mode," there is no blue route line, which is great for browsing the map and selecting destinations. However, when a route is started and the app switches to "navigation mode," pressing the Android OS "arrow back" button only offers two options: "cancel" or "shutdown". While I understand there are…

Launch Waze automatically when driving
It's rather annoying for me having to remember to launch the Waze app every time I start driving somewhere. Would it be possible for the app to detect that you are driving and launch automatically? Preferably with as little battery drain as possible.

Make Waze more useful for buses and trucks
Make Waze more useful for buses and trucks. So i can choose that i drive one of those vehicles and not just between only a car, taxi or motorcycle. And can specify how tall the vehicle is. And Waze then navigates you so that you arrive without suddenly arriving at a bridge that is too low, for example

Routing server timeout on long drives
Since the app seems to consistently time out looking for long drives, I would recommend allowing more back end resources be used for drives over a certain mileage or time. This might require an upgrade based on the high number of users.
Instead of having just one option, I would like to be able to choose between options since there are riskier routes for adding traffic.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with this issue since I can have perfect service on an iPhone 6S and consistently have your servers time out.

Low emission zones avoiding
The same principle as avoiding toll roads.
It is enjoying when Waze plans the way through the London (or any other city with low emission zone) and then you find out you have to drive back and find your way around the zone without any assistance as Waze still thinks you can go through the zone.112 votes -

Could you please have Waze send to correct side of the street, weather you drive a car or a bus , more safe to be on correct side
When you put in address Waze should send you to correct side of the street, weather you drive a car or bus it is more safe that making a U Turn, especially in a but where you cannot turn around.
