End navigation and announce "You've arrived" once a large site has been reached such as a mall or stadium that is clearly in front of you
Often we use Waze to get to a large site such as a mall or stadium we've never been to before. Once you are on the property, like the parking lot, it's very clear you are at the stadium and no further navigation is needed. However, currently Waze has some default "Destination Point" in these large sites that is arbitrary, and navigation continues even though you can see the site right in front you which can be confusing. Am I here or not? Why is telling me to turn right? Does it matter? etc etc. My suggestion is to…

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).

Remove parking icons. They hinder ability to see exactly where you’re trying to go in specific instances of massive surrounding carparks.
I literally couldn’t see exactly where the address was because of the 50 or so P icons crowding my screen and i was on a timed response on the job.

Declutter map
There are too many icons that clutters map, such as having 4 or more Traffic Light Cameras or numerous parking options near the destination. Often, the parking suggestions are not even close by, and makes the map very cluttered and difficult to see the route

Drop Down Menu
Would it be possible to implement a dropdown menu feature for venue parking? The idea would be that when a user searches for a stadium or concert venue in Waze and selects it, they would then see a menu with all the associated parking lots or garages connected to the venue. This would allow users to quickly choose their preferred lot and streamline navigation to their specific parking destination, making event-day traffic management even smoother.

Stop avoiding intersections with stoplights and routing to dangerous intersections.
I drive rideshare and I am constantly routed away from stoplights only to end up a very busy intersection that Waze wants me to cross or turn left onto a super busy cross-street that have low visibility due to cars parked along the side or large shrubbery. There is usually no way to turn around and I am stuck with having to wait for quite a long time for a safe time to cross or turn into high speed traffic. It seems to me the app is trying to avoid stoplights and I have no way of turning off…

Navigation
I use Waze for work as a salesperson. How is it that Waze can navigate me perfectly OUT of a parking lot as I leave a destination but just leads me to the middle of the street, rather than turning me into at least the parking lot, when I’m going to my next destination?
AND, could you consider adding outlines of buildings at addresses so I know which way to head out if the parking lot?

Rating of gas station services דירוג שרותי תחנות דלק
Hello,
My name is Sarah Reich and I have four improvements for WAZE.2/4:
There are people who use certain gas stations according to the quality of gas or the service, and there are people (e.g. me) who only frequent gas stations with clear bathrooms.
My suggestion:
Rating gas station with stars. Adding a rating option for the toilets – stars and personal reviews.
Ratings can be added for other specific services, e.g. at the checkout, coffee quality, sitting facilities, parking, etc.שלום, שמי שרה רייך,

Waze tries to send me back to it's initial route rather than calculating options from my current path. i need more characters to explain.
When Waze gives me an initial route it always tries to send me back to that route. For example i was exiting a fast food parking lot and it would be very difficult to go left. I knew there was a route to the right but it wasn't showing up. I turned right anyway and Waze kept trying to turn me around. I thought I finally drove far enough to get the new route, so i listened when it told me to turn right. Long story short, it drove me through a neighborhood, slowly, making many turns, and ended…

Coloured Area Places Based on Type
Much like natural features and parks are green, Waze should build on different coloured area places. Red for Hospitals, Brown/Purple for schools/universities. This would best help with medical and school campuses with different parking lots so it isn’t a sea of grey and also adds a distinguishing view for the driver so to serve as a better landmark on the map.

Directions to a campus or multi-facility area
If you get directions to a campus or multi-facility area, then Waze should ask you what building or parking lot you are interested in when you get close. For example, if I ask for directions to Montgomery College in Rockville, as a I get nearer Waze should ask if there is a particular building or parking lot I need directions to.

Waze Public Restroom Locator
PROBLEM:
Several times a day, all humans share the common need to use the restroom. Some of us need to go more frequently than others for various reasons, but when nature calls, it’s a universal truth that we have to answer.
In contrast to Waze's capabilities in providing traffic updates, routes, parking and directions, there is currently no shortcut feature for locating public restrooms. This gap underscores the challenge of finding nearby public restrooms, particularly in unfamiliar areas. Even if you manage to find one, it may be closed for maintenance during certain hours or lack essential amenities like…

A personal vision for Waze+
Given that Waze is in a tension with Google Maps and there is a new CEO with a background in tourism I have compiled a few thoughts.
Let me start out with some tentative abstract differentiators:
Google Maps is for drivers, Waze+ is for all others (too).
Google Maps is about how to get there, Waze+ is more about why to get there.
Google Maps is for the brain, Waze+ is for the soul.A.
To begin with I would like to see Waze much more individualized and stylish.
I’d like to express accurately which…1 vote -
