Don't send me driving into a fire zone in San Francisco.
Driving around SF last Tuesday morning. Used Waze and was directed into an area where there was a huge fire which had been ongoing for a few hours.
And later that afternoon (7-hours later) it directed me again to the area still closed by that very fire.

Watch my Drive - Orthographic mistake in Catalan version
When sharing your drive, your friend receives the following message:
"Estic fent servir Waze per anar a xxx, arrivaré a les17:50. "
It should say instead:
"Estic fent servir Waze per anar a xxx, arribaré a les 17:50. "
So "arrivaré" is correctly spelt as "arribaré", and there is a missing space before the hour.2 votes -
Toggle Carpool on and off when using Android Auto
Once the phone is connected to the vehicle, there is no way to easy toggle on and off the carpool. As a parent that drives the kids to and from school, I constantly go from single person to three people, and if I do not remember to change the settings before plugging the phone, I cannot toggle carpool off and off. I need an easy way to toggle carpool on and off when in the Android Auto.

Fix the 3 finger, while driving hazard reporting!
I used to LOVE Waze. Now I pretty much hate it. You need to bring back the ability to report issues and hazards while people are actively driving. I loved that I used to be able to press the screen with three fingers and say "hazard." Then the map voice would ask ' what type of hazard; on road or on shoulder or done.' It was amazing, I could report anything easily while still safely driving; the the map voice would give choices for what to report and actually send a real report. Now the only way I can report…

Fix a bunch of ****!
Shared drives should be retrievable at least until complete. They disappear when the app is switched or closed until or unless a change in duration happens.
Also your FB and Google log in buttons don’t work, and I had to set up a new duplicated account to make suggestions because you jackasses can’t validate via the application I’m already logged into to use!!!! Fix it! It’s like you’re hiding from suggestions and now I’m irate while suggesting.1 vote -
lost item while driving
Lost item while traveling. We recently lost a few rare items out of the back of our truck during a trip down I-70 at night. It would be awesome if we could create a lost item alert in the general area where, if a driver seen it on the side of road they could alert us, or contact us to where it was seen!

Improve brightness using Android Auto with MyLink. Waze Brightness does not decrease and causes unsafe driving for the driver.
Improve brightness when used in Android Auto. Waze's brightness - even in night mode - is so great that it causes unsafe driving for the driver.

Community-generated driving route recommendations
Is it possible for Waze (though, this definitely needs approval and careful study) to include a feature for the drivers to suggest or make possible route recommendations? Anyway, Waze is community-generated. Google search results are often inaccurate, based on the reports that we have been receiving.
As the driver, always (or often or most of the time) know the possible route or driving direction. And possibly with this, other wazers will be able to contribute to the route. A wazer may suggest a possible route for others to follow.
I just thought of having some sort of 'crowd sourcing' in…

Drive History to include milage data on each trip
It would be so very useful to have the mileage total featured on each drive within the “Drive History” section.
It would be the perfect solution for someone like me logging miles for work and doing my already boring accounts.
PLEASE 🙏

drive scheduling
The only problem with the new "drive scheduling several days in advance" feature is that the display takes so long to refresh after the day is entered and before the hour is entered that I originally thought the program got hung!! I discovered that I have to leave it alone for about a minute, and it will process the command and continue eventually. SO MY SUGGESTION is either to shorten the processing time, OR to display a status message every 10 seconds, so the user knows that the app is still processing and has not hung up.

Mark bad quality road
There are so many roads witch are paved, but the quality is so awful, its more like driving on dirt road or trail. Would be great to mark bad quality roads so I could avoid driving there and save my car instead of braking it driving trough. Of course there should be an option to avoid bad quality roads also in the Waze app. I hope to see this feature in soon future. Best regards

Scenic drive routes
There are scenic drive routes in some cities around the world. I am in San Francisco and SF has a 49 miles Scenic Drive that we need to follow a bird sign. Sometimes we lost it and have to return back. My idea is to Waze navegante from where I am to the nearest location where the Scenic Route is and then continue to this Scenic Route until where I started. this route. Take a look! 📌 https://pin.it/b78u8Q6p3

I drive an old car that can't exceed 110km/h
I drive an old car that can't exceed 110km/h, since the ETA is necessarily calculated with speed max of each roads, with my car on a highway (130km/h) the ETA is wrong, would it be possible to set a maximum speed for my vehicle ?

Make the speed limit bigger and permanently visible on screen. I don’t like having to make it appear by driving a little faster
Can you make the speed limit stay on permanently. And bigger. It’s too small and takes a number of seconds (eyes off road seconds) to glance down looking for it. When unsure of the speed limit in areas where it changes a lot then the only way to make it appear is to drive faster and look for what point it flashes up. This is not safe. I would love it to just be there all of the time.

Calculate ETA based on own average speed
ETA calculation seems to be based on traffic conditions and general average speed. ETA calculation seems to be inaccurate when driving below the average speed of the road-segment as it keeps increasing while driving with constant (low) speed.
It would be great if ETA calculation would also be accurate for vehicles going below average speeds (e.g. trucks in europe etc.)

I'd like to be able to add a stop along a drive in the Android Auto implementation.
In the normal Waze UI, I can add a stop along my trip. In Android Auto, I cannot do this. The Google Navigation app on Android Auto allows it and makes the UI for such a feature pretty simple to manage.

Specify how many miles or hours you want to drive a day and get suggestions
Let's say I'm traveling from Tampa, FL to Denver, CO, and I only want to drive 8 hours per day. I would like Waze to suggest where I should stop (city), lodging near an interstate and even restaurants/happy hours. You should be able to specify hours or miles a day.

New UI prevents sleep after starting a drive
Sleep button used to be accessible via the bottom left menu. Now it’s inside the top right new UI which is not on screen (not clickable) when a drive is started…
The UI changes need to be better tested for usability because this is frustrating and not needed…3 votes
