switch car types in iOS
Hi, I’m using Waze both with my private car and with my motorcycle.
In Israel, the vehicle type actually affects the routing itself (motorcycles can legally use different lanes and routes), so switching quickly is very important.
Right now, every time I want to switch the vehicle type, I need to go deep into the Settings → Navigation menu, and it takes multiple taps.Is it possible to add a faster way to switch vehicle type?
For example:
• a quick toggle button on the main screen
• a Siri Shortcut / Shortcuts action
• or a URL scheme…1 vote -
keyboard shortcut
It would be nice to implement native iOS keyboard shortcuts. Like the Apple Maps app which supports:
CMD + for Zoom In
CMD - for Zoom OutAnd maybe add support for the use of arrow keys to move the map around. CMD UPARROW/DOWNARROW etc.
Another handy one would be a combination to recenter the map.
I am using an iPad for navigation and I'm building a bluetooth remote control :-)

Shortcut for reporting hazards, when not in app.
Feature request for non drivers:
a homescreen shortcut (or floating bubble) for adding road hazards, for non drivers. Currently, the phone auto closes the app after inactivity.
The time it takes to reopen the app and navigate to the 'add hazard' panel means there is a delay in posting information, causing the location of the info to be incorrect. Sometimes even dozens of meters later.
If I had some floating window, homescreen shortcut or gesture shortcut directly to report a hazard, it will appear more correct.
I do this during long drives (not a driver), to make roads safer, since…1 vote -
Since Brazil has a lot of potholes, I think there should be a shortcut for potholes on the screen for the drivers to be able to report

Configurable Shortcut/Hotkeys on main screen
Would be handy to have the option to add 2 or 3 of your most used functions or additional functions on the homescreen for easy access. For instance, it would be handy to be able to add a button to the homescreen that will automatically highlight petrol stations so you can hit it when you petrol light comes on

“Hey Siri, stop navigation/ directions”
Right now, whilst in the middle of driving, once I know where I am, I no longer require directions. Currently there is no voice command for turning off directions whilst driving. I don’t like to keep my eyes off the road and hands off the vehicle but currently the only way to turn off the directions is pressing the bottom of the app and then press “stop”.
It makes sense that if there’s a “navigation on” option, there should also be a “navigation off” option too. Thanks for this consideration.1 vote -

Shortcut to settings while navigating
I have one major piece of feedback. While one is driving and let’s say they decide during their route to avoid highways or toll roads, the user must stop the route, go to the settings, change the settings, reinsert the address and go. On Google Maps, there’s a shortcut to these settings so you don’t have to take all the those steps. Your app has to be safer to use. Let’s be real, people don’t always pull over to use their phone. When I’m in the middle of traffic and I have to go through all your steps to change…

CarPlay end navigation with voice command
I’d like to end my navigation early with a voice command. I’m surprised it’s not already available.
For example saying “hey siri and navigation” and it stops the navigation. Right now Waze gives an error “ Waze hasn't added support for that with Siri.“4 votes -
Add a new german TTS voice
Currently there is only one german TTS voice. A new german TTS voice or the option to use 3rd party TTS voices like Siri or Google TTS would be nice.

Adding voice assistant
There should be an option to activate the voice control automaticaly, just like you wake ip "alexa" or "siri", just saying "Hi waze" should be enough in order to do anything within the app.

Hide “Work” shortcut in CarPlay when not set
When selecting the magnifying glass for an address in Waze on CarPlay, the first two options are the Home and Work shortcuts/favorites, which appear regardless if they have been setup in the app or not. This request is to hide either or both if there is not an address assigned (or have an option to hide them altogether).

Voice Activation
Can be used to confim/add road hazards and traffic situations. Example: hey siri, car stopped on shoulder or hey siri, confirm road stopped and it will add it. A app called Yazio does something similar where you can add 12 oz of water to your daily intake (calorie counter app)

Is there a way to contact Waze and ask for a road to be removed as a shortcut option?
My road is a one-way, one-block street that is home to many kids and is bordered on one side by a park that draws many pedestrians. It used to be a quiet street. Recently, Waze started directing drivers to use our street as a shortcut to a busier street. Drivers unfamiliar with our road race down it, despite many signs asking them to slow down. We have had drivers narrowly miss kids, and break tree branches as they swerve too close to the sidewalk. It is also increasing pollution on a rare city street that is next to an incredible…
