  1. Replace unintuitive “not there” button symbol

    When people are driving, symbols need to be instantly recognizable. For example, most of the report icons on the initial report display meet that requirement.

    But when driving and you come across something like a partner feed alert and the app wants more info, the “not there” icon option is a stylized… purple and red, what?.. gloved?.. thumbs down hand that doesn’t intuitively convey “NO” and does not match the style theme of the other app icons. The first time I saw it when driving I could not figure out what it was, and what it was for, until I…

  2. Reduce taps required from search to navigation

    Currently from the time I see an address for which I've searched to when I'm able to just drive and see the map and directions, there are FOUR TAPS in between those two things happening.

    Tap 1 — Seeing the address as text in search results.
    Tap 2 — Seeing the address as an official box in results.
    Tap 3 — Seeing the address on a map with parking options
    Tap 4 — Directions calculated, and clearing option to choose routes.

    When a person is starting to drive, that's quite frustrating.

    I just want to GO. Please reduce this to…

  3. Latest update is garbage

    Speed limit small and unreadable, current speed worse since it is also small and with zero contrast between background and speed font color. Please tell your developers not everyone has a tablet sized display like Tesla, as it seems this version was developed for a MUCH larger display than most cars have. In the words of Colin Chapman, less is more- this update was a regressive rather than progressive. Read the latest reviews on the Play store, I'm not in the minority.....

  4. Allow other users to send address to my handheld client

    Allow facebook friends, waze group members, etc. to send an address to my handheld client if I am online.
    1) When an address is recieved by the client, ask the user to accept the route, reject the route or block all address pings.
    2) If I don't have a route set, auto accept the aaddress after 10 seconds.
    3) Add a new category to the Address Search dialog similar to My Favorites, Recent searches, Contacts, etc. List the received addresses for easy access.

  5. Ok Google... What's my location...!!!...???

    If you are involved in... or... reporting an accident to 911, the second question you are asked is "What is your location?".

    If you're a "local" you may very well know the answer to that question... but a high percentage of the folks do not have an accurate answer to that question.

    The best type of answer would be in the format of "Northbound land of US-999 just South of cross-street "Bankum Road".

    That is certainly better than giving the operator GPS coordinates... if give the location in "real world terms".

    Does Waze (or 'can' Waze) give the person need…

  6. Clicking any "All Turns" list item zooms to location (upcoming in route)

    During navigation, there is no short/simple way to look at a location point of your route ahead. Regardless, a simple and low click, logical solution would be to achieve looking at your upcoming route point for traffic purposes (or whatever reason) would be looking at your "All Turns" list (1 click) then one could scroll through all the upcoming turns, select a location (2nd click), and the screen then reverts to your map route, but targeted to view the turn selected on the "All Turns" list. Returning to the original view where the experience started is as simple as pressing…

  7. Waze distress signal

    As a Wazer, wouldn't be great to be able to send out a distress signal. Tyre change, out of gas, need engine help, etc. Perhaps also car make specific help, in that case a personal setting including car make could be needed.

    If another user helps you out he or she would gain some 100 p. To avoid misuse the extra points only should apply when you help a non friend Wazer.

    Or turn the other way around and let users state what type of help he or she could provide. No need to get flagged for help if you…

  8. Add directional arrows to list of search results

    Please add directional arrows to search results. For instance, if I search for McDonalds the results shows me all the McDonalds in the area and how far away each one is. I would like to also know which one is in the direction I am headed so I don't go out of my way to what happens to be the closest.

  11. "Prefer Freeways" instead of "Avoid Tolls"

    Currently, you can set Waze to 'avoid tolls' which is handy - but this prevents Waze from recommending tollways when there is traffic on the freeway. For example, in Dallas we have 635 and 635 Express. Both follow the exact same path, the only difference is the express lanes cost around $5. It would be very nice if Waze would prefer the freeway, but still recommend the tollway if there is significant traffic reported on the freeway.

    Also, Waze seems to have trouble telling if I am on the freeway or tollway, since they are basically right next to each…

  14. Traffic incidents, Speed traps Police Trap

    Dear S/M

    Im a very keen Waze user, the only suggestion I would like to make is regarding announcements of speed and police traps or other traffic incidents. These according to my driving experience using Waze should be made not only once or little bit earlier but also at least three times (for ex. 1x1000m 2x500m 3x200m) before arriving at the certain point.
    Especially the ones reported by the other Waze users, because oftenly for example when I see something to report, it takes other 200-300 meters until I take the phone in my hand and finally push the reporting…

  15. Waze should have Patch Notes for every update. Let Users know what has changed with each new version (dropped support, improved support etc)

    Patch Notes, like those implemented in every online game in the past two decades, would drastically reduce User issue-reporting (with the app) due to misunderstanding of which Waze features are supported, which are not, which features have lost support and where etc.

    Just every time the User updates the app, upon next sign-in, just flash a dialogue box with the latest patch notes (perhaps a link).

    As an aside: the Help Center could be more clear and specific about how certain features (e.g., speed camera alerts) work. The exact parameters for getting audible speed camera alerts are not known and…

  16. Select what hazards to hear

    Allow the user to select what notifications to hear. I don’t care about stopped cars but I do about objects on the road or police.

    Most notifications are for stopped cars and I honestly have turned off all notifications and just hope I see relevant info on the map.

    Needs to work with CarPlay etc as well.

  19. Picture type of hazard with different icons on navigation map

    Change reported hazard icon on navigation map to actually picture the type of hazard instead of the general yellow exclamation triangle for everything.

    If I report animals on the side.of.the road, I would expect to see the animal head icon on the map. Not a yellow hazard icon. It's far more informative and stops drivers from having to click into the hazard, taking their hands off the wheel, to see what it actually is.

  20. Shortcuts for Hazard Reports

    When using the Hazard Report feature in Waze I often find that:

    1) I use 1 to 3 reports a LOT more often than any others.

    2) I often find that selecting these hazard icons using the current method is fiddly, dangerous when driving, and slow, resulting in the report being sent late, often about 100 meters or more past the hazard.

    My improvement idea is to add 1 to 3 hazard SHORTCUTS that "slide out" for selection from the existing hazard report icon (yellow triangle) on the FIRST touch, they would then "slide in" again after selection to avoid…
