Option to disable route recalculating alert. That nerve wracking chirp is driving me crazy!
Whoever approved that grating & obnoxious squawking route recalculation alarm should be fired. I drive a cab and even my customers cringe when they hear it and say "what's that awful noise". PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET US TURN IT OFF! Alerts only should mean alerts only. Hearing that damn noise screech and grate 5 times when I'm driving through a parking lot is maddening!

route changes suggestions setting
On route changes suggestions, please can you add a setting that is a kind if accept or ask for confirmation, and if the route change pop ups it auto disappears after 1 minute? It's against the law in UK to touch the screen when moving, so having this pop up a d it stays on the nav screen until you accept or cancel is a real problem! If I can have the settings to auto accept or request , and then if it pops up on screen and I can't stop the car to accept or not it minimises or…

Route stops editing
The existing ability to “add stop” is great but, if this is done in error, there is no way to edit the list of stops or re-arrange the list without cancelling the drive and re-doing it. Which in affect, messes with the drive history which I use to log my business mileage.
Please add the ability to edit your drive and stops: add a stop, edit a stop, rearrange stops, delete a stop.
Thanks

Sichtbarkeit von Stau auf der Route
In der Navigation kann man den Beginn bzw. Das Ende eines Staus nicht gut erkennen.
Die Markierung der Route (blau) ist zu breit bzw. die Markierung für einen Stau (rot) ist zu schmal.
Blau sollte vielleicht schmaler gestaltet werden, so dass eine bessere Übersicht entsteht.4 votes -
Accurate transfer of Route map from computer to Waze App.
I've just recently started using Waze on my computer to create trip routes then transfer them to my computer. However, when I try to transfer an alternate route to the one Waze shows as their primary route, it only transfers the Waze preferred route. This has happened twice in the past 2 weeks. How can I force Waze to use my preferred route.

On screen disable of route, once underway.
I exit freeway because of traffic. Now WAZE wants me to turn left, turn right, U-turn at every opportunity to get me back on the freeway route. I would like to instruct WAZE to reroute me with option to avoid previous routing. I know if I go far enough off initial route this will happen automatically. But that's not helpful when I'm on unfamiliar streets.

estimation based on the gradient of the route
Implement fuel consumption/energy expenditure estimation based on the gradient of the route. Currently it does not take into account whether the route contains uphill or downhill slopes. In many cases a route can be more efficient if uphill slopes are avoided or efficiency can be improved if it is downhill. It can also be very useful for bicycles, trucks, etc.

See route when planning a drive
When you plan a drive it lets you choose the time and location of point a and b, but does not show you the route it recommends on a map view; only when to leave.
Would be great to have a tentative route visualization based on the recommended leave by time.. so you know where it thinks you should drive.. I mean, it’s using data to give a recommendation so the info is there :)

Improve route design to deliver clear direction
So when we start the way, the route displays so complicated with too much colors that confusing me where to focus on. It seems like everything is highlighted. Even with the traffic sign, I didn't realize that it was showing traffic through little red lines outside of the route. I just hope the design of the map to be simple, direct, and clear. Just highlight the path or route that I am going with just one simple line using different solid color that shows if it's on traffic or not. Just like google map!

Include traffic signal count on route summary.
For “short” routes or re-routes, include count of traffic signals. During peak periods, a longer route may be preferable with less signals, which have the potential for delay if even no delay exists at the time of route calculation. The definition of short is arbitrary and could be decided by the devs based on utility vs performance.

No vocal instruction is needed for the normal (fastest) route
Assume that I commute to my work every day and if there is no traffic jam, I know what is the best/fastest route and for that I don't need any vocal instruction (to remind me, where to turn left...) In this situation it's only annoying.
The suggestion would be: add an option for "professional commuters" and for the normal fastest way, by default activate "Alerts only" and in case, there is a faster route, then activate "Sound on".

make sure the route is always fully visible
The route is often obscured by street names and other UI elements. Drivers should always be able to fully see the route because, let's not forget, you use Waze when you don't know the way. See these twitter thread for screenshots:

Flooding (Inondation): route modification
More & more extreme climate phenomena occures. In this context, the current proposed routes are sometimes crossing flooded areas, which is sometimes impossible to go through. I would like to propose an evolution of the flooding alert to have two levels:
- a first one indicating that we could face issues, but the routes is still valid (~ current alert)
- a second one, indicating the road cannot be used & so generating a new route computation by Waze, to avoid it. (New)2 votes -
add "never use this route" option
I'm driving late at night and WAZE decides to send me through the heroin capital of the US. But I don't realize it until there is a sudden turn off the highway into one of the worst neighborhoods in Chicago. Please make an option that would eliminate a route that I consider unsafe. Thank you!

show "this route is xx minutes longer" at the decision points
Would it be possible to show "this route is xx minutes longer" at the decision points according to the current traffic situation? Just as it is in Google Maps - a very useful feature!

Alternate route for immediate area
My commute is 13 miles both city and highway. When i have issues near my house, Waze needs to offer alternate route based on proximity. I need to find a new route where i am at, not at the end. For now, i just turn to force it to do something else.

Alternative Route Calculation Appears to Disregard Options without Freeways
The Alternative Route Calculation Appears to Disregard Options without Freeways with avoid freeways turned off.
Hi, I’ve noticed on several occasions that when I look at “other routes” with “avoid freeways” turned off, the app will suggest only routes that use freeways, even though some of these have longer time estimates and longer distances than some options that appear with “avoid freeways” turned on.
For example when navigating from Detroit to Royal Oak (with avoid freeways off) I am given three options involving highways, one 23 minutes and the other two 28 minutes. With avoid freeways turned on,…

choose navigation type on navigation screen and on route picker
To switch between Shortest or Fastest you have to go into settings->navigation->type and choose shortest or fastest. I often switch between these modes when picking my route so it would make sense to have that option available in the same screen as where the routes are chosen AND on the "navigate to" screen.

Best route for large vehicles
Hi and good morning. I am a firefighter in the UK and I use was to help me fine an address via the postcode given to us by our call handlers (control). Waze gives us the best route when driving a car NOT a fire engine. Will there be an update so that bigger vehicles can find that fast and easy route?

I want to give waze the routes I want to use for my commute by drawing them on a map & have it show me those route not the ones it selects?
I want to give waze the routes I want to use for my commute by drawing them on a map & have it show me those route not the ones it selects? Either draw it not the route map or enter a list of routes under my commute routes. Learning does not seem to be accurate or quick. I have done my route for 14 years I know the options it would be easy to draw a main route and set option segments. This would make the tool much more appealing quickly and more useful with less…
