  1. Delayed Announcement

    I have a 2014 Accord. When I am expecting the turn by turn directions I often find turns are announced (started announcing) before bluetooth has been allowed to connect for the direction, thereby cutting off the announcement by 1 to 2 seconds. Please allow slightly more time for bluetooth to connect for the call to come through the car speakers. I have an iPhone 6 plus

  2. Prioritize Full CarPlay Integration: HUD & Instrument Cluster Directions

    Hello Waze Team,

    This post is to strongly urge the prioritization of full integration with Apple CarPlay to enable turn-by-turn navigation on built-in Head-Up Displays (HUD) and digital instrument clusters.

    This remains one of the most critical safety and convenience features missing from Waze, and it's a primary reason why many drivers reluctantly switch to Apple Maps when using CarPlay.

    The Technical Framework Exists

    We understand that enabling this feature is entirely possible within Apple's provided framework. The process is initiated by implementing the mapTemplateShouldProvideNavigationMetadata(_:) delegate method. By returning true from this function, Waze can signal to CarPlay that it…

  3. SPLIT: every 5 min if there is no direction change, that "continue, you are on the right way"

    because of the afore mentioned problems, I sometimes use a bluetooth headphone. I set the destination, activate the headphone, put my phone to sleep, then ride, guided by the voice. It saves my battery and prevents the phone from getting too hot. The slight problem of this system is that sometimes, for long periods of time, I have no audio feedback if my phone/Waze is still active. If I could have a voice message, lets say every 5 min if there is no direction change, that "continue, you are on the right way", it would made me feel more secure

  4. . Add a feature to log the miles traveled

    Add a feature to log the miles traveled using this great program.
    Add the ability to save it to a, comma separated values file on the sd card . This would be very helpful for sales people in tracking miles for tax purposes . Start point and endpoint would be very useful for tax purposes

  7. Autodetect closures and closed roads

    Waze should automatically detect closures and close roads without relying on Wazers to use the in-app closure function or on map editors to add them. Just as Waze can detect traffic and reroute, it could also detect when no one follows the directed guidance and there is zero traffic on a segment. Then when Wazer start driving on the segment again it could reopen.

    Google Maps (part of Google Geo) gets closure info from Waze. And Waze (part of Google Geo) should also get closure info from Google Maps. It doesn't now, and instead will route Wazers into a closed…

    Thank you for your valuable feedback. We're pleased to confirm that this suggestion is planned and we appreciate your input as we continue to enhance our product.

  8. Turn on the lights alert.

    In Brazil, even during the day it's mandatory to turn on the car lights when we drive in a route (highway).

    It would be very helpful there was an alert reminding us to do it each time we start driving on a highway.

    (No Brasil, mesmo durante o dia é obrigatório ligar os faróis ao dirigir numa estrada.
    Seria muito útil se houvesse um aviso lembrando de fazer isso cada vez em que começamos a dirigir numa rodovia.

  9. multiple destinations

    feature suggestion for Waze
    subject: add feature to automatically sort multiple destinations by distance or direction.
    message: hello Waze team,
    I'm a regular user of your amazing app and I'd like to suggest a feature that could be extremely helpful for many users-especially delivery drivers 'couriers or anyone with multiple stops in their day.
    feature request: please consider adding a feature that allows users to-enter multiple destinations at once (multi stop routing).automatically sort them either: by distance from the current location (closest to farthest) or in a specific direction (from south to north) .
    generate a smart route that…

  10. Problem pushing directions bluetooth from android to car speakers

    Waze has been my fav for a long time because it pushed spoken directions from all my iPhones to the car speakers via bluetooth. It seemed to do this by tricking my radio (Kenwood) into thinking a call was coming through. Pretty crafty. But since the latest iPhone update that messed up other things regarding bluetooth, Ive gotten an android phone. Now the waze app on android won't push spoken directions to the car speakers when the radio is set on (radio). It seems like a big safety issue since when in the car its hard to hear…

  11. Sound control (alerts only, off, etc.) used to able to be accessed from home / start screen. Need to have it back.

    Sound control (alerts only, off, etc.) used to able to be accessed from home / start screen. Need to have it back.

    Up until this month I was able to set the sound choice easily before starting a route, now I can't. This means if I'm looking at a route in a crowd before setting off I am stuck with whatever the last setting was. Often this means it starts blabbing away disturbing people. Revert to having the speaker icon visible on app start.

  13. Disable auto route to suggested destination

    Often when I start my day, I'm not heading directly to the office. However, even after I enter a destination, I'll be prompted to navigate to "work". It will switch my destination without my input or any notification. Please turn off auto select for that navigation option. It's frustrating to think that Waze is taking me a traffic free route to find out it's navigating me to the wrong destination.

  14. update alerts for other side of road

    I would like to be able to update alerts on either side of the road as no longer there, not just the side of the road I'm traveling on. Just like how Waze currently asks if a hazard is still there if it's in my traveling direction, it'd be nice to be able to click on a hazard or alert on the opposite side of the road and delete it if it's no longer there or relevant.
    Also, what happened to reporting hazards/traffic on the opposite side of the road after this newest android update? It's awful! It needs…

  17. Watch App/Motorcycle

    Basic Navigation for watch, which would be especially useful on motorcycle. Screen only needs distance to turn and direction of turn. Haptic notice of upcoming turn would be nice as well, but not required. Do not need a map, do not need lots of information, should be a quick glance when safe to do so, if more information is needed, pull over and use the phone.

  18. Less popups when starting a navigation

    When starting a navigation, a pop up ask if I want to share my ride. That's not that annoying but I would like an option to disable it.

    Im often starting a navigation from other apps, when the navigation is received by waze, it shows a first screen where I need to press on "received location". I click on it and then a second pop up telling me to share. And this is when waze dont pop to ask if I am a passenger. It sometime necessitie 3 press to start a drive. Google maps does it in…

  19. 911 option in app on iOS (to report accident)

    I was stuck in traffic today and while stopped I witnessed an accident in the opposite direction involving a motorcycle - I closed the app to call 911 but traffic in my direction started moving before I could post update to map. I was wondering if maybe their is a way to report an accident through waze and maybe even have it automatically post a map update for other users to see (ie - using waze to call 911 would post a flag at that location as an accident)?

  20. Directions issues

    I was recently in Cleveland, Ohio for three weeks. I have used And Favored Waze Is my primary choice for navigating to locations. However, in the recent Usage, it has directed me to route and changing once I started establishing on that route multiple times. One case it advises me to turn right at the next intersection After making the turn, it advised me to make a U-turn and backtrack to where I was in a different direction. The situation is bad enough, but when it’s happening in the middle of the night, it becomes dangerous. At that…
