  1. Option to not automatically launch Waze when I activate Carplay

    I do not need Waze every time I drive. If I launch Apple Airplay to listen to my music or an audiobook, Waze automatically launches on my phone and drains my battery. I would like to have the option in settings to choose whether to automatically launch Waze or not. Some users may prefer to auto-launch, so having the option would be beneficial.

  2. Voice after long time only

    Basically i don't use voice because it volumes down the music and annoying anyway. BUT crusing on the higway for hours you don't check the navigation visually, so there is a chance you miss the exit. A new function would be usefull that active voice only after a certain time (1,2, etc. hours) between to far points and mutes down when you have to check the routes frequenlty.

  3. Voice activated hazard reporting

    Hi,
    I would like to suggest getting,
    1. AI technology for self learning and improving maps as in some instances wazers know better routes to that of the waze map.
    2. Voice activated controls in reporting hazards - in the UK unfortunately even tapping the phone while driving can lead to prosecution and driving bans. If somehow, waze can be voice activated when reporting hazards or police presence, etc. For example we say, "Hey Google" to activate and request Google assistance.
    In waze we already can voice activate destinations through Google assistance.
    My point is to avoid touching the phone…

  4. FNAF Security Breach Sun and Moon voices by Kellen Goff

    I would love to have the enthusiastic voice of Sun and the mellower croon of Moon to guide me as I travel! Sun's excitement to get you where you need to go on your way to a party or some other event would be so fun and Moon's calmer in control voice and charming laugh would be lovely when you're not feeling high energy.

  5. WAZE navigation system could be adapted to the nation's railroad netword where it could become a new-technology Positive Train Control.

    Railroad Safety: a Ten Billion Dollar Boondoggle
    Carl E. Nash, Ph.D.
    Derailments and collisions between trains are spectacular. Their economic and environmental consequences are considerable and they kill and injure people. In response, over the past forty years, pressed by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and Congress the railroads have been implementing Positive Train Control (PTC) systems to reduce the potential for these crashes.
    Actually, U.S. railroads are quite safe for passengers. An average of only 5 people die in train crashes each year: slightly more than are killed in motor vehicle crashes in…

  6. Pause Other Audio, not lower volume

    I've seen claims there's a feature to pause spoken audio or other things when alerts come through - but I do not see that feature in settings. While the lowered volume when alerts come in isn't a problem for music, it is not ideal for listening to podcasts or long form video/audio essays, which is often what I am playing.

    It lowers the volume of what is playing and then speaks over it, making it difficult for me to make out the alert it is giving anyway. I just started using this app in the past few days but…

  7. Signalements zones de contrôles état d'urgence

    Bonjour,
    En raison des récents événements tragiques qui touchent la France et nous heurtent profondément, l'Etat d'Urgence a été décrété par le Gouvernement, ce qui signifie que durant n'importe quel contrôle routier, les véhicules ainsi que ses occupants peuvent être fouillés.
    Il serait nécessaire voire primordial de bloquer la possibilité de signaler les zones de contrôles routiers et barrages de polices aux utilisateurs afin de ne pas permettre aux personnes ayant un lien avec ces actes de barbaries sans nom, d'être au courant de ces actions coordonnées et rendre facile la découverte de personnes impliquées de près ou de loin…

  8. Notification-style sound instead of voice.

    Waze has 2 styles for navigation guidance:
    1 is full voice alerts; and
    2 is alerts only for hazards and missed turn/exit/...

    When normal navigation voice is selected, a voice will alert me of of an upcoming exit in 1 mile, then 1/4 of mile. sometimes a .1 mile and if another "turn" or "keep right" is after that, I might have 1-3 minutes of alerts and stopped music.

    Because of this I mostly use Alerts Only but then this setting does not alert me of of upcoming turns unless I miss my exit. I must have the app…

  10. Add a "Litter" icon so drivers can help indicate where clean up needs to happen.

    Adding a "Litter" icon to Waze will allow Local, State and Federal ecology agencies the ability to more quickly clean up problem areas as well as provide data to increase funding for litter control.

  12. Spotify

    Currently the Spotify panel is occupying almost 1/3 of the whole screen, obscuring the space much needed for map and navigation. I'd like to see simpler/shorter control, perhaos similar to the Spotify 4x1 widget on Android. Thanks

    Thank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is now integrated with several audio apps including Spotify, Deezer, TuneIn, iHeart Radio, Pandora and more. Just go to Settings > Audio Player and pick your favorite app.

  13. in app volume control not helpful

    We used to be able to adjust the volume with the iphone buttons, but it now seems to force us to go into the app to do this. This is one of the worst changes and has me thinking about leaving the app. When driving I frequently need to adjust the volume (louder car noise on the Hwy, turning radio up, etc), I don’t want to have to navigate in the app to do this while driving.

  14. Hungary

    Dear Waze Developers!

    First of all, thank you All for creating the world's best GPS navigation cellular software! :-)

    I am sending you -as afollows- one idea from Hungary in order to make the user's experience higher and avoiding of punishments due to speed limit's exceeding more efficient.

    There is an official and always right on time updated website of the Hungarian National Police:

    where you can find all the excel sheets, showing the exact geographic place, date and time schedule of using the mobile portable speed control devices in the whole territory of the country, shared on a…

  15. Allow users to choose to display routes on their Phone instead forcing on the Android Auto

    Allow users to choose whether to use their phone as Waze for routes or Android Auto as the main display, instead of forcing it to display on Android Auto. Some people want to stream music using Android Auto and use their phones to see directions, as it doesn't distract them from the road. Some head units in cars are positioned lower from the direction of the road and are more of a hassle to look at while driving.

  16. Can you PLEASE, add a "While Using App" option

    If you could please enable the option to set the location services to "While Using App"
    It benefits the user by not needing to actively remember to disable the location services constantly after each trip.
    Thus causing it to become a nuisance and development frustration when the app ends up using a chunk of battery during the expedition of each trip. And also when no one is accessing the app, but it's still using data and power either way.
    Majority of users have talked about this through other similar posts yet we have seen no such update that has included…

  17. Mobiele Controle

    Vandaag waarschuwing voor controle op Hesselerweg. Echter voordat ik kon drukken op bevestigen was ik er al voorbij. Ik denk dat de melding van iemand was uit tegengestelde richting dus is deze voor de andere kant eerder weg. Jammer want ze stonden heel sneaky met een kamperbusje. Advies laar de bevestiging écht wat langer staan.

  19. Beginning of town (inhabited place) indication - for when to let off the gas in advance

    Indicate the next beginning of town somehow on the route.
    On the map and/or with info saying "beginning of town in 500m ... 400m ... 200m" etc.
    Or even just one popup saying "town in 300m".
    Or just with a marker on the map! That would also suffice.

    I have wanted this feature for years.
    Very hard to estimate when in an unknown area.
    For those of us mindful about eco driving, there is no point in pressing the gas pedal up until the sign and then braking suddenly from 90km/h to 50km/h.

    It would be nice to know when…
