More set locations
add the option to add more set destinations that are interchangeable for things like school or a second or third workplace.
trying to scroll through while driving to have to find my school as my set workplace is inconvenient when i have to also need a workplace but having to scroll through all my past drives to get to my workplace/very common destinations is quite annoying to do while driving or even at a red light

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.

Messages are read aloud whilst driving
In Google maps whilst it is in Auto mode, it will read aloud any incoming messages (if turned on), so that I am informed of things without having to check them whilst driving, which is not allowed.

Phone Charging Indication while navigating with app
It would be great to have an icon on the map display indicates that your phone is charging or plugged in while navigating with the waze app. There have been several times while driving and my phone was accidentally not correctly seated in the car charging cradle. I was navigating on battery power and the only indication was when I received a low battery warning notification from the phone OS. This can be very inconvenient when going on long drives or a safety concern when in unfamiliar areas or if one is stranded and the phone has no or low…

Driving "Unplugged "
Put the phone down, observe current driving conditions, adjust accordingly. Don't worry about the location of law enforcement officers, try to drive the same speed as surrounding traffic. You'll burn less fuel, brake pads, and brain cells. Good luck out there and stay safe.

Add Soundcloud as one of the music player options to make a navigation voice and music pause a seamless driving experience
It would be nice if Soundcloud was added to the music player list. There's so many other options on there but that's only only one that's missing that commonly used. It would be nice if it was added so the music music can pause and resume or lower for navigation directions.

Option to share your drive
It would be awesome to be able to share my drive and MUSIC with those I've decided to share my ride with. Just like TWITCH or Facebook live. So that when people you're going to pick up can chat with you live and hear whatever track youve got going. Adding something like twitch, fb live or periscope functionality would make waze The Ultimate social GPS!

Customized pre-departure planned drive times
I’d like a setting option to be able to customize the amount of time (in minutes) before my planned drive alerts me to leave for my destination. Typically I like to arrive at least 15 minutes to my destination before my scheduled meeting time, to allow for extra preparation time or traffic considerations.

Driving with speed limitation, caravans for example.
Dear Waze Team,
First of all, thank you for an outstanding app that continues to improve travel experiences worldwide. I’d like to suggest a feature that would greatly benefit drivers who tow caravans or trailers – or who, for any reason, are legally required to drive at lower speeds than regular traffic.
Currently, Waze assumes standard vehicle behavior and speed limits. However, in many countries (such as across Europe), towing a trailer legally restricts drivers to lower speeds – often 80 km/h on highways, regardless of the posted limit. This discrepancy affects both estimated time of arrival (ETA) and route…

Eco-drive helper
For eco-drive enthusiasts, you could create a function that shows upcoming speed limits with an adjustable distance. For example, I would like to be informed about speed limits approximately 400 meters in advance, so I can deactivate the cruise control and let the car coast to the correct speed for the upcoming limit. For EVs, this would simultaneously involve regenerative braking, saving me fuel and brake pads. The environment would be cleaner, etc. Adaptive notification would be an advanced solution. It would use the g-sensor to understand my inertia and the speed difference from upcoming speed limits.

Plan a Drive not working!
When you save your drive a day or two in advance, as soon as you leave the app your drive is gone! Need this feature to work like it should, as commuters try to plan accordingly day(s) in advance to allow for traffic/construction delays.UPDATE this great feature so it works again.

Add PM/AM to ETA display map
During some drives its easy to get the ETA and Time Remaining mixed up when quickly looking down at the phone.
For example: The current display
ETA: 3:30
Time Remaining: 3:50hImproved display suggestion
ETA: 3:30 pm
Time remaining 3:30hThis is not the case during all hours of travel but it is when the ETA and Time remaining are very similar.
It would be a big help if the ETA displayed had PM or AM next to it to quickly show thats the ETA so when quickly glancing at the phone during the drive.
The pm/am signage does not…1 vote -
Don’t close history while driving
Don’t close history while driving. You tell us not to type and drive but force us to by repeatedly closing the history menu while driving. I car scroll down to pick a location I was at recently, so I have to type it in again while driving.
