Mute voice guidance near home/work
Please have an option to mute the voice guidance in a radius of [X] distance from my home, and/or from work. Alerts should not be muted by this setting.
It's annoying that I have to listen to voice guidance near my home -- I know how to get from my house to the main road, thank you very much! But turning the voice off and on again during the drive (during every drive!) is a nuisance and a safety risk.

North = up, but not while driving❗
I'm happy to see that an option to fix North to the up has finally been added (how many years?), thanks to SyberKnight here
💥BUT💥, as it's really great to browse the map (in 2D mode) with fixed North, like a real map, I really don't see the point of fixing the North up while driving. It causes tons of situations where the guidance is unusable (typically when using the phone in portrait and driving to the west, road to come becomes invisible).
So I suggest to add another sub-option: "Follow road direction when driving". If…

Why can we no longer use waze on 2 devices simultaneously
Wished Waze had made that info about this change ( ie being unable to use waze simultaneously on 2 devices) available to users upfront. That’s a big change & I wasted a lot of time on a very long drive to try & get waze to work the way I’ve come to expect.
I have waze open on two devices ( iPhone & iPad) that have different cellular carriers, whenever I go on longer drives (2 hrs or more) since waze’s network connections are always spotty. This has been my work around & provides continuous coverage & also allows me…5 votes -

Report missing or incorrect speed limit while driving
I notice there are no option to report incorrect or missing speed limit while driving, I think you should be able to just like reporting a police. I have driven on many roads that Waze either report incorrect or no speed limit.

Plan a drive
Could there be more time increments to plan my drive, like every 5 minutes instead of every 15 minutes. In my city the traffic changes from one minute to the other.

Tell us when TRAFFIC TENDS TO BE THE LIGHTEST for our daily commute!
Waze should use historical data to tell us the best time to begin our commute each day in order to shorten our drive time!

Weather overlay
I would love to have a real time weather overlay on the WAZE maps. This would be a GREAT feature to add to aid in knowing more about driving conditions. Please vote and let's see what we can do to make it happen.

have you ever thought about making a bluetooth remote for updating while driving
create a remote that has the most common updates on it - cop - vehicle on the side of the road - object in road - traffic. you would have to take your eyes of the road just hit the appropriate button for updating. updates would be more accurate and more people would participate in updating which it the whole point.

See route when planning a drive
When you plan a drive it lets you choose the time and location of point a and b, but does not show you the route it recommends on a map view; only when to leave.
Would be great to have a tentative route visualization based on the recommended leave by time.. so you know where it thinks you should drive.. I mean, it’s using data to give a recommendation so the info is there :)

Option at drive later to enter your starting time
Install an option where you can see at drive later, not only when you should start, but when you know when you can start, how long the trip will take, like in google maps ;)

Hi, the "DON'T TYPE AND DRIVE " warning message is not useful for the taxi drivers. Because usually we adjust the destination during drive
As taxi driver we need to adjust the destination during driving.
Now the android app denied the typing during driving. We get a warning message:
"DON'T TYPE AND DRIVE "PLEASE ALOW THE TYPING WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING.
in fact the passengers cannot typing too.
Please modify the app

State line alerts/voice prompt
I love Waze, I use it all the time! I drive almost 2000 miles a week for work, One thing I would love to have as a feature is state prompts or when you cross the state line if it announced welcome to "state name". sometimes when you're driving on back roads they don't always have the Stateline sign, I've even missed The big ones on the highway. It would just be nice to have a voice prompt simply say welcome to "state name" thanks!

Add an option to label if a location has a drive-thru or not.
I have gone to too many dunkin’ Donuts and have been disappointed to find that it is not a drive thru location. Sometimes I am not able to leave my car so it would be nice to see which locations have a drive thru.

DRIVER SPEED LIMITATION INPUT FOR ITINERARY CALCULATIONS
I think it would be a more than good idea to have the option of telling WAZE that one doesn't want to drive faster than 90km/h.
For instance, i drive a camping car, which hardly reaches 100km/h and would like Waze to calculate itineraries taking this into account. Can that be fastly implemented ?29 votes -
Plan a Drive - Needs Significant Improvement
If Waze wants to be the go-to app for driving, planning a trip needs to be significantly easier. I just tried to schedule a work travel drive with multiple stops to get to reservations on the way, and only one stop is allowed along the route. Also, adding that one stop took me 10 minutes to figure out. The user interface is not intuitive for adding a stop.
I recommend adding features to the computer app that can be sent to your phone. Planning a trip on the computer is significantly easier than on a phone app, and currently, Waze…

Please provide an option to turn off the "car stopped on shoulder" warning.
This is the most common warning yet doing nothing more than distracting. People stop on shoulders for few minutes all the time so why do I need to care unless I am planning to drive on the shoulder?? Turning off road hazards does not help.
1,006 votesGreat news! The option to filter the kinds of alert you would like to get is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Toll Price Update on Driving
When navigating with toll roads, can we update the toll price display after exiting the toll section? For example, if the route contains two separate toll section, after exiting the first one, the toll display should show the remaining price, and after exiting the second and last toll section, remove the price display?
Currently the toll price display never get updated throughout the drive so it will say the full price even when we are near destination (unless there is a re-routing in the background)2 votes
