Two cars
It would be quite useful to be able to configure two (or more) different car profiles. In my case I have a diesel car and an electric car, and I may use one or the other depending what where I want to go (for instance, city center is forbidden for non electric cars). So a feature where I could just simply choose my car when opening the app up or even better, auto detection of what car I am in using CarPlay or Android Auto, would be really nice to have.

user provided layout themes
There are various requests for features of what Waze should/should not display on screen. It would be great if users could instead of just choosing a style, actually choose a (or create) a layout that another user has selected.
Best option would be to provide the ablity to give shapes, and areas that can contain text. Eg.
- Current speed (can then increase/decrease the speed display)
- Average wazer speed on the current segment (so the potential speed limits could be shown)
- Current road name
- Text/images for popups
- Destination ETA
- Destination time
- Destination name

Show Congestion/ULEZ zone and tell Waze what car you have
It would be super useful to have the ULEZ/Congestion Charge zones both highlighted in the Waze map. It would be amazing if you could actually make them both different coloured areas with different coloured roads too!
Secondly it would be amazing to be able to tell Waze what car you’re driving and Waze could take that into consideration when planning your route. Several times I’ve been rerouted towards the Rotherhite tunnel which is a 2tonne limit and my car is just over two tonnes so I’d get a fine.5 votes -

The word "object" should be pronounced with the accent on the first syllable (the noun), not the second syllable (the verb).
Today waze told me there was an obJECT in the road ahead.

Allow swipe to close notifications.
When a notification appears on the Waze client, there's an "X" on the top-right corner to close it. The close button also has an auto-timer, which is fine.
However, while driving it is hard to tap the exact location of the "X" and often i tap on another nearby portion of the screen, which only causes the display to change. And waiting for the timer is not always practical (i only need 3-5 seconds to read a notification, not up to 15 seconds!).
So instead (or additionally)... why not have the notifications close by simply swiping them off the screen?…

Assistance information for vehicles on shoulder
It would be nice to know what a vehicle stopped on the shoulder might need if they need assistance. It's dangerous to try and back up down the shoulder after passing a stopped vehicle and noticing that they are struggling to change a tire or need some water or gas.
It would be great if a stopped vehicle could post "need help changing tire" or "out of gas". To get that information ahead of time would allow the ability to make a decision about whether to stop or not and to be able to do so safely.8 votes -
show song playing while navigating using Android Auto
While using Waze on android Auto I would like to see what is currently playing, when using spotify or even on infotainment (Radio, XM, Ect.) There is a nice open spot at the top of the screen that could be used to display this info. I know that there is a quick popup when i change songs but would like the ability to display permanently.

customize Shortcut buttons on map screen
I think its better let users to add 3 shortcut buttons(floating or fix) to map screen like ( vehicle stoped, police or anything which user decide) then user can report by one click ,its fast and safe
It help to make fast reports , current situation is user have to make 2/ 3 steps to make report, on busy roads its very useful.10 votes -
Waze is too heavy on system resources, try to enhance memory usage
Waze got very heavy on system resources lately. Crashing extremely often. We had 3 relatively modern Android (>=4.4.2) phones on board and only on 1 waze could calculate route before it crashed. On this one phone that could at least calculate route Waze crashed when any warning on map was pressed or when you checked what is ahead of you (when more parts of map were loaded at once). Waze also froze my phone very often even when it was just navigating (nothing was pressed on screen when phone froze). It all looked like OOM and extreme overhead problems. Back…

Restroom Search
Please add feature to search for closest restrooms on route - rest areas, public restrooms at gas stations and restaurants. Waze admin responses to other bathroom feedback states users can search for “restroom” or “toilets”, but this feature does not work. Waze directed me to a rest area 20 miles away. Gas station search sent me to 4 San Diego area gas stations, 1 closed and 3 with no public restrooms. The closest restaurant required a minimum purchase for the restroom door code.

Upgrade the "Add a Stop" function to sort the destinations (gas, food, coffee) from closest to farthest
Upgrade the "Add a Stop" function to sort the destinations (gas, food, coffee) from closest to farthest.
Right now, if you are in the midst of a long trip and click "Add a stop" and ask see options (for food or gas or coffee) you see locations near your destination.
Suggestion is to add distance options, like "show closests first".
What good is a gas station that is 125 miles away? ;)12 votes -
We can start our own teams.
Why can't we start our own teams? That way, people have a social way to earn goodies! Also, you could have team races and stuff. For the badge, we could have some options. Please vote for this idea, whether it's 3 votes or 1.
5 votesThanks for making this suggestion. We’d like to put this suggestion on hold until we start rethinking the future social layer of Waze.

How about a dedicated button for vehicles on the shoulder? Seems like that is 75% of what I report

Lower speed threshold setting
All of the speed threshold settings are for at or above the speed limit. By the time the alert goes off I am already breaking the speed limit. It would be nice to set a threshold like 3 or 5 mph below the speed limit to prevent ever going over.

More accurate "share your drive" with your Wazer friends
More accurate "share your drive" with your Wazer friends, please. At the moment it will update my location on map approx. every 2-3min but i would really like to see almost a real time location on map.
If you share your drive with non-wazer and he/she watch your journey via browser, it looks way better because my Waze figure moves on the map all the time. I assume this location is estimation based on travel time but it's still way better than figure which doesn't move at all or moves point to point every now and then.
