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…

Add a random voice option to keep things interesting on long trips
On long trips, the same voice and sayings get old pretty quick. By adding a random voice option, it would be fun to hear what the next voice and saying is each time

Abbility to report start & end of SPECS.
SPECS cameras operate as sets of two or more cameras installed along a fixed route that can be from 200 metres (660 feet) to 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) in length.[3] They work by using an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system to record a vehicle's front number plate at each fixed camera site. As the distance is known between these sites, the average speed can be calculated by dividing this by the time taken to travel between two points.[4] The cameras use infrared photography, allowing them to operate both day and night.

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…

High Accident Area Allert
When about to enter an intersection where there have been many fatalities/accidents Waze could alert you to use extra caution. Today, my son and I saw an accident that is an area I went through and I remember thinking..."Oh my goodness, what in the world!?!" It was a strange intersection. I think drivers can be warned either by a voice warning to use extra caution or by a color that shows that area to be susceptible to accidents. His truck was upside down and the top crushed in. We hope he's okay. The idea to me is not to avoid…

Eatra points for out of date fuel
Hi,
I think it would be a good idea to earn extra points for updating fuel prices that are long out of date.For example. Petrol station 1 - fuel prices updated 1 days before - you update them again and you earn 8 points.
Petrol station 2 - fuel prices updated 10 days before - you update them again and you earn 80 points.
Petrol station 3 - fuel prices updated 100 days before - you update them again and you earn 800 points.
This will make users add the correct fuel prices more often to gain more points.

Move street name tags away from the route and the next maneuver arrow
Please display street name tags a bit away from the next maneuver arrow making sure that the arrow itself as well as some nearby streets are clearly visible. In a dense old cities the only way to understand which turn you should take is to compare the map with what you actually see. Don't forget about some GPS lag.

Group toll passes & exemptions by country and/or state
It would be great that if in the app the Toll passes and exemptions would be grouped by country and/or state. As there are a gazillion ones in the list it's hard to find the ones you want to choose.
Ex. Belgium -> LEZ Antwerp, LEZ Bruxelles, LEZ Ghent and etc.
France -> Crit'Air 1,2,3,4,5,E
Germany -> Umweltplakette Grün, Umweltplakette gelb.Regards

Change the street name display
Displaying all the street names horizontally makes the names unusable since I can’t tell what street the name applies to. In the Live Map application the printing of the names follow the street. If some people want all of the names horizontal, why not offer both options via a personal setup?

Hey guys, what if you can upload a photo or a 10 seconds traffic situation where you at right now so people can see it.
I have this idea so people can share what they are experiencing right now on the road through either pictures or a 10 seconds video and that video is pinned on the map where it was taken because sometimes in my personal experience waze takes time to update its traffic highlights situations.

Display Saved Time when Waze changes the route in case of traffic
The idea would be to be able to accept or deny the route change when Waze decides there is a best route than the current one.
In other words, let us accept or not to switch to the new route depending on haow much tilme is saved. For me saving 1 to 5 minutes on a new route is not always necessary.6 votes -
Match multiple riders to unlock HOV for everyone
In the San Francisco Bay Area, and many other municipalities, HOV lanes require 3 or more people to use. If Waze Rider had a feature that let you request an HOV carpool only, and would enable multiple matches so that you could get 3 people in the car (driver + 2 riders), everyone would save 45 minutes of traffic. That would be a huge incentive to get people to use the app, meaning easier and more matches and fewer cars on the road.
Add HOV matching!

Route History
I had the problem of having to think about what route I took when passing through tolls. I think it would be helpful if you can look at past routes. I know there's history but it just gives you location not the route you had to take. Tollways require the plaza numbers and the history of your route could allow someone to look at their history to find out this information.

Remove submenus from report “hazard” in CarPlay/AA.
To report road works, or a stopped car you need to click report then select hazard, then select 1 of 3 submenus and then select the hazard inside the submenu, I think this is unnecessary, since there is enough space in the CarPlay main report menu to separate the “hazard” button into 3 separate icons, each corresponding to one of the previous submenus, this wold eliminate an entire step in the reporting process, making it safer, and therefore more people wold use it.

More icons for existing report types
Currently many of the icons displayed on the map are shared across different reports, this means the driver must tap them to find out what they are (if they do not pop up automatically) eg. "Car on shoulder" and "object on road". This is frustrating when some warnings are fairly insignificant and others more serious, like my previous example. Additional icons would allow drivers to understand the reports at a glance with no extra taps required when issuing a report.

A última atualização do waze foi a 4.47.3.0 e ela tirou a função de eliminar o zoom automático.
O waze eliminou a opção de poder cancelar o zoom automatico durante a navegação... Por que???? as vezes o aplicativo responde com um certo atraso e quando o zoom está alto, o caminho não fica claro e as vezes a rota acaba sendo recalculada.A opção do zoom tem que ser do usuário.
3 votesGreat news! The option to disable the Auto Zoom is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Better support for intents
GMM supports many more intents than Waze, and what waze does support does not always work.
For example, Waze can handle http://maps.google.com/maps, but, Google's web maps now uses just http://maps.google.com/
And you don't handle https:// at all.The geo:lat,lng intent seems to occasionally work. But not consistently. Didn't try geo:?q=... types of intents.
And of course, there are all sorts of country specific maps.google.* variations that aren't handled. Don't know if Android intents handle wild cards or not. It appears that GMM explicitly lists everything.
