  1. Add arrive button

    Sometimes when arriving at very large places, Waze thinks that you arrive only when you are in the front door of the place. Think for example in a mall, the parking lot will be huge, but Waze already traced the route until the front door.
    An "arrive" button will help Waze to understand that you are already at your destination and there is no need to recalculate the route while you are looking for a parking spot

  2. WaterWaze - River Safety

    I am a kayaker and I know I see a LOT of folks on Facebook trying to figure out where items of importance/danger are on their paths - sweepers (trees that have fallen over the water but not gone under), strainers (trees that have fallen into the water, and other debris, as well as places that are good to put-in and take out, or such places that might not be accessible anymore. Water levels/gauges, dams, bridges, shallow spots, dangerous spots... the ability for someone on the water to note any of these things and have it available (especially if there's…

  3. Display phone contacts while navigating

    Display the phon's contacts on the map while driving. As a sales rep i'm on the road all the time, often driving large distances for 1 or 2 clients, it then would be usefull to see which other contacts/customers are nearby my destination or route.

  4. Add a 1 mile event radius

    In large cities 5 mile radius events take too long to cycle back to the close events. And 5 miles extremely far away from your driving route.

  5. Request Waze make a slight programing change to the on-screen alert display.

    Put the "Still There" above the warning message with the "Not There" below it. I sometimes try to touch the correct response and my vehicle moves just a little and I end up touching the wrong response.

  6. Optional "no map" (trip computer) view when route is known

    8 out of 10 times I use Waze driving to and from work, a route I know very well so I don't need Waze to show me my position on the map.
    What I instead would like is a "trip computer" kind of interface, showing me things like my current speed, current speed limit (if known), maybe a color code for traffic ahead on route (green, yellow, red), ETA, current road name (nice to have, not need to have - I know where I am), live updates of incidents (needs to update themselves automatically), textual navigation instructions like "turn right…

  7. I absolutely HATE your new version. Give me the old one back!

    The print is too large when looking up the saved address. I have to open the address to see if it's the one I want. Living in a strange country makes it more difficult. You really screwed this one up and obviously, many other people think so too.

  8. Function maximal speed of the road

    Good day, dear waze company. I use three types of vehicles and it needs three different routes to one destination. The first vehicle is a Subaru. Waze is fine. The second is electric ionic. Here, I would like to use shorter routes without hills, and the third vehicle is a Fiat Ducato 1991 caravan. Here, I would need to enter my maximum speed into the application, for example 90 km/h, and choose a suitable route based on it. I would also appreciate this function in an electric car. Here I would choose, for example, 110 km/h and the route…

  9. I drive an old car that can't exceed 110km/h

    I drive an old car that can't exceed 110km/h, since the ETA is necessarily calculated with speed max of each roads, with my car on a highway (130km/h) the ETA is wrong, would it be possible to set a maximum speed for my vehicle ?

  11. Roll it back. The new version is unusable in Android Auto

    Roll it back to last version
    It no longer works correctly with Android Auto
    Adding addresses by voice no longer works.
    There are too many buttons now that used to be under 1 button that was way easier to get to rather than dialing through this mess.
    Tha map is covered by big black text balloons that don't need to be so large.
    It doesn't load correctly half the time.
    I literally have to disconnect my phone from the car, enter my destination, start it, then hook it back up to the Android Auto.
    Harder to report police or…

  12. Update "auto focus" on notifications

    I use Waze on my Android linked with Android Auto in my Mazda CX5. It has a display, but not a touch screen. When it comes up with a notification like "vehicle on shoulder" I can never get the focus to stay on "Not There" or "Still There" because every time the mileage updates, the focus jumps to the "Search" icon. Do not change FOCUS when mileage updates.

  13. Car stopped ON road ie: transport unloading new cars

    In Ontario we have frequent stopped vehicles in the centre turning lanes of roadways. They stop to unload new vehicles for car dealerships. Would like an option to report car/vehicle stopped ON the roadway, separate from the “car on shoulder” option

  14. Identify Tope’s / speedbumps in Mexico

    Just like potholes might be a good idea- in Mexico there are 1000’s of speedbumps that in Spanish are called Topes. It would be a great value add to add an alert for upcoming speed bumps as non-local drivers are at risk of hitting speed bumps at full road speed which is dangerous for the driver and vehicle. This feature would be greatly valued for drivers in any country that uses speed bumps to control vehicle velocity

  15. Update to run on background on Sync 3

    The iPhone and Samsung devices recently released will show signs of burns when a picture is on for a long period of time. In this case since the screen has to be on in order for the car to run app its very bad for phone screen and can also make device get really hot and may start fire inside vehicle . I drive for hours at a time and i have noticed the heating problem. Please update app to run in the background with screen off.

    • vehicle still there but not a hazard anymore

  17. Any alternative to Not There?

    Any alternative to asking drivers if police is still there or not?
    It’s risky:
    1. Distraction while driving.
    2. Police might detain us using phone while reporting their presence.

    Similarly, asking if stopped vehicle is there or not. Risky.
    Thoughts?

  18. Move control button to right hand side on right hand drive vehicle vehicles in Australia

    Randomly sometimes the reporting buttons come up on my right hand side of screen close to my steering wheel on right hand drive car in Australia but doesn’t stay there. It usually opens up on the left-hand side which is a bit far to reach across the car to work anything can this be made? So it stays on the right hand side of the screen for a right hand drive car in Australia.

  20. Bicycle navigation and bike routes for waze!!! Please!!

    Can you please add bicycle routes to the app and ways to avoid roads that go over a certain speed limit? The option to set your vehicle as a bicycle and find routes like that avoid high speed roads and roads that dont allow bikes conbined with all of the other great functions of the app will be fantastic...

    But since you don't have the feature so many bicyclists won't get to navigate with your app and get the same benefits that car drivers have... I really need a navigator for bikers that shows the speed limits of the roads…
