Routing overview
I would like a routing overview option to easily access when driving for two reason:
1: For longer routes to see were I am in the country.
2: For shorter routes to have an overview of the traffic situations.This option could be a button directly on the map, maybe as an option to turn on/off from Settings or as an option in the pop up window where the mute, stop navigation, navigation list and recalculate route are.
49 votesPossibilities:
- check next turns list by clicking on the directions panel on the top, select ‘next turns’ tab
- check reports on the route by clicking on the directions panel on the top, select ‘reports ahead’ tab
- check map view of your route by clicking on ETA bar at the bottom, select ‘Routes’ and then ‘map view’ -
Quick report buttons
It would be a good idea to place some (2??) customizable quick report buttons on the main Map/interface; in such way we can report speed traps/ dangers/ police while we are driving with a single touch (or double to exclude unintended reports)!
There are too many menu/options to make a report... the only way to put them live is to stop the car and going trough a jungle of options... ( :geek: and I'm used to that! I'm an android user)
Heavy traffic is fine... you're stuck in your car and you've all the time to browse the options but…281 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.

Make gas stations ahead of you the default
Yes, if there are no gas stations ahead of me for X distance then yes turn me around but I’d rather stop at a gas station in the direction I am going

Delete the Stop point and continue navigating to final destination
Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove the intermediate point on the route after adding it.
This feature is very much needed.

important traffic signs on waze map
in order to increase the safety of wasers and other traffic participants, what do you say if on the waze map will be the important traffic signs like: priority road, give way, stop, no stopping, no entry, one way, pedestrian crossing, level crossing; there are a lot of hiden signs by buildings, vegetation or by other reason those important signs are not seen and this goes to traffic events and it can be avoided if waze drivers are warned by their devices (if voice is activated)

I don't like the new waze. Can't stop navigation after it starts.
I don't like the NEW Waze. Can't stop navigation once it starts unless I close the app completely. Make it bigger on the iphone so I can leave my phone on the dash while driving.

Include a button "Need gas", that searches for nearest gas stations. Clicking in one, create/inlcude a route to it.
Include a button "Need gas", that searches for nearest gas stations. Clicking in one, create a route to it or include in the actual route as a stop.
13 votesIn the settings choose Gas stations – Sort stations by – Distance from current location.
Then, in the left panel tap on the search bar and you’ll get a gas station icon directly under the search bar (along with parking, restaurant and cafe icons). Tap on the icon and you’ll get the list of closest gas stations. If you’re in active navigation Waze will also calculate the reroute time to get to each gas station.Happy cruising.

Timeline with Travel History
Here recently, i needed to see my travel history for my job. It took me a fairly long time to see my route for that day but there was no timeline to connect the whole day together. I am suggesting to make this easily accessible by adding a Travel History tab on our accounts menu. This tab will give you a peek in the past travels and also help you tweak your upcoming travel plans to choose better routes. I know that it will help me calculate my work mileage between stops and help me keep track of of the…

Don’t let stationary users perform status updates for police cars.
Make it so that you need to be moving in order to click that a cop car is no longer there.
Don’t let stationary users perform status updates regarding the fact that a police car is in a spot or not. Once you do this, cops will stop watching Waze to undo what drivers are reporting so that they do t get noticed.
Please.
We will trust the app 1000% more!!! Word will spread.

I would love to see a warning when entering an area that is known for issuing tickets
I am not sure if you can do this with Waze Maps, but i would love to see this feature.
I would like Waze Maps to highlight and issue a warning to drivers of areas that are known to be "ticket alleys"
What I mean by "ticket alleys" are areas that have very high percentage of traffic violations and higher than normal traffic incidences of reckless driving tickets.
There are two counties in VA, Sussex and Dinwiddie Counties that are known for issuing unusual and very expensive tickets like Reckless Driving for a simple speeding ticket.
This could be data…

Delayed reports
While you're driving, you haven't time to report. So it would be great if I can touch the screen to hold the real place where a report have to be placed. So you can complete the report when you stop.

navigation waypoints
Only mapquest currently features navigation waypoints.
On a journey from locationA to locationZ one might want to pre-plan gas fill up locations, or additional points of interest. These are waypoints, or places to stop along the way.
LocationA to locationB to locationC ... to locationZ
To accomplish this now in Waze is a bit tedious
locationA to locationB
locationB to locationC
locationC to locationZOne ought be able to enter all the locations and either specify the order of the waypoints OR allow waze to optimize some- or…

Proposal for Drone-Based Navigation Feature in Waze
Dear Waze Management Team,
My name is Mehdi Shojaei, and as a loyal and frequent user of Waze, I would like to share an idea that could significantly enhance both the user experience and driving safety.
Nowadays, some modern vehicles (especially new Chinese models) have introduced an innovative feature where a drone is deployed to scan the road ahead and provide the driver with live, useful information. This technology ensures that drivers can stay informed about upcoming traffic, obstacles, or road conditions without being distracted or forced to make sudden stops.
I would like to suggest that Waze implement…

Toll payments
Waze should inform user of how much the toll is on there planned route ahead of time so user can have the correct amount, with so many people using plastic, such as credit cards and debit cards. Which toll booths don't except I feel this would help people from getting charged for going through the toll with out paying or protect there safety and stop them from flagging down other motorist it ask for change.

Adding voice assistant
There should be an option to activate the voice control automaticaly, just like you wake ip "alexa" or "siri", just saying "Hi waze" should be enough in order to do anything within the app.

"Express" Hazard Reporting
Love Waze, but I don't like how many actual touches are required to report a hazard. The more time it takes to report a hazard, the more time your eyes are not watching the road. Also, the most common hazard I see is a car stopped on the shoulder. I'd like a two-touch way of reporting this. If the report menu could be customizable to include a "quick report" option for the most common hazard a driver encounters, this would be a solution.
20 votesYou can long tap or swipe up the Report button to bring up the most common reports – saves a click. Also, consider voice reporting!
