More specific warnings
Can there be an option to report a speed van/camera in Ireland?
Currently speed vans (privately operated) are reported as police which is not accurate but its the closest option however there is a big difference between a parked private speed van and a garda checkpoint/police.Thank you!

"Categories" issue in app / AA
Tapping the Where to? search field brings up another Where to? search filed, under which it shows the "Saved" "Gas" etc. menu. This menu of "Categories" is badly organized/sequenced: seems to me that during a drive the most important order of locations would be "Gas" "Parking" perhaps "EV Charging" and "Hotels", followed by Food Drive-thru Coffee Groceries Medical care Pharmacies, and finally Shopping and Parks. The fact that in Android Auto only the first of those categories show compounds the problem. Suggestion: have a more logical sequence and show all of them in AA, and/or let the…

Permanent show POIs on Android Auto map (configurable)
I would like to show some additional POIs like charging stations, parking places and gas stations on the Android Auto map permanently (configurable). If I want to charge my car I need an extra search request to find a proper charging station.

Development on increasing safety and careful driving
I propose a development that I believe will make drivers drive more carefully and thoughtfully. The way to do this is by displaying written and voice messages as well as displaying images. For example, when the driver increases the speed beyond the speed limit, he is shown a picture of his loved ones (parents, spouses, children, pets, etc.) accompanied by a message they convey to the driver in their voice (for example, the voice of a boy or girl, the barking of a dog or the meowing of a cat, etc.) A message such as: "You are driving above the…

People watching cars in Brazil (aka flanelinhas)
We suffer with these guys that "watch" our cars when we have to pay for the parking on the streets. If you don't pay additional for these criminals, they will scratch the car or even break the windows.
I suggest to add a flag into Waze so that we can flag up in which streets these guys are cornering us.2 votes -
I have an idea! I want Waze to develop an app that all US users can access that will help with Homeland Security.
I would love to see Waze develop a "WazeWatch" app that would allow users to post terrorist activity or home land security issues. If someone with the app see some suspicious activity they could put is on the "WazeWatch" app and all of the "WazeWatch" app users in the area could be alerted to the perceived threat. Then others in the area could agree or disagree with it. The real threats would be noticed by hundreds of citizens and they could take action and call the police, stop the activity before it can escalate or evacuate.
Imagine the mass shooting…

Dynamically configure waze session based on Bluetooth connection (for motorbike/car/truck)
Certain apps have the ability to detect what Bluetooth device is connected.
My suggestion is to allow users to pre-configure different Bluetooth connections to different vehicular modes, for example, a Bluetooth headset may be used on a motorbike and therefore Waze could detect that this Bluetooth connection is present and set itself for motorbike mode, likewise, an in-car radios own Bluetooth connection could be configured for a car, and finally, a different Bluetooth connection could also be configured for a truck, I envisaged then that this would allow users to predefine certain options like toll passes, low emission zones and …

Re-attempt to connect to mobile/wifi signal after starting on offline map
When a car is parked in underground carpark with no mobile phone signal, Waze will use the offline map with no traffic information However it does not re-attempt to connect to mobile signal/wifi after a minute or two when the car is out in open air, and it continues the whole journal on offline map. Please enable a function to re-try connecting to phone signal via CarPlay

EasyPark integration into the app
EasyPark is one of the largest parking payment apps in Europe. How about having an integration of easypark in Waze. In other words, when you arrive at your destination and have reached your parking position, Waze could check whether I am near a parking lot POI and then offer me the option to pay for a parking ticket directly there.

Add a "Not a Hazard" button
Too many people report cars parked in rest stops and small divots as hazards.
If there was an option to report back to the user that the car or pothole they reported as a hazard shouldn't have been.
The button would compliment the "still there" and "not there" buttons and maybe notify the original reporter if (say) 3 or 5 "Not a Hazard" reports came in.
Users that continue to report incorrect hazards could be blocked from reporting for a month or so.

Near Vicinity Target Versus Specific Address
I don't want to assume, but I have to believe machine learning at Waze is either a thing now or will be soon. To that end a feature I've been imagining for some time might be more easily achieved in the current technological state.
Idea: Since we typically do not drive our vehicles right into the mailbox of a given destination and knowing that, other than homes or small shops, a large percentage, perhaps a vast majority of destinations are large properties with big parking lots. If there was an "I'm here" or "I've Arrived" button, that GPS info…

Home and Work location arrival notification
I think it would be great to be able to limit the number of "You have arrived!" notifications for your saved Home and Work locations.
When I get home I receive at least 8 or more notifications while parking.
Since these are saved locations we have entered, I'd like the option to limit to just 1 announcement for these 2 locations.
Multiple announcements for one time or other location can remain the same.
I think most users would agree that they know when they've arrived either home or work.2 votes -
your app is stupid
if you ever manage to create a GPS app that works, let me know. this one is a dog's breakfast.

Allow placing a destination pin on the phone while connected to CarPlay
Hi Waze team,
I’m a long-time Wazer (5+ years), and I truly appreciate the app. However, I’d like to share some frustrating limitation:
It’s much harder and slower to move around the map and select a custom point on the car screen. On the phone, it takes seconds. Many times I don’t know the exact address — I just want to navigate to a specific point on the map (e.g. a parking spot or entrance nearby). But CarPlay disables this. I have to disconnect CarPlay, set the destination, and reconnect — very inconvenient.
Thanks for all the great work…

הוספת חניה אוטומטית עם פנגו/סלו או האפליקציות המתחרות בתוך הרכב. כך ניתן יהיה
connecting a build in option so on pre-installed cars with WAZE, the car will automatic recognize the parking and pay using visa, or even alert for 20 seconds after shutting down the engine. so when the car is moving, the app will automatically stop paying for the parking. you will own the parking business

Video game mapping display
Hi all
I’ve recently had the idea for a video game mapping integration. For example when Waze collaborated with such things as halo you would then be able to see all the buildings, parks rivers, beaches in the style of which they appear in game, I believe it would be a cool fun idea to expand this to many different popular video game franchises. I know it wouldn’t be any thing as far as functionality but I feel Waze has done really well at adding a personal touch to the navigation system and I believe this will be the…2 votes -
Use phone orientation to determine initial driving direction
Problem:
When starting navigation from a stationary position, Waze often assumes my car is facing the direction of the road segment, not my actual heading.
This leads to wrong initial instructions — for example, being told to “turn right” when in reality I need to make a U-turn first because I’m facing the opposite direction.Proposed Solution:
Use the phone’s built-in compass and orientation sensors to estimate the initial heading of the vehicle when navigation begins.
In most real-world cases, the phone is positioned facing the same direction as the car (mounted on the dashboard or windshield).
By using this…2 votes
