While traveling or entering a navigation route, the user should be able to search for a Point of Interest (POI) such as "Starbucks" and save it as route POI. The app should display all "Starbucks" locations on the route with the option to add one or more POIs as a new stop. the POI will remain active until navigation is stopper or user reached destination

Colour coded routes - showing traffic on route
Google Maps shows green, amber and red, so at a glance, its easy to see if there are issues on the route at any point along it. This is missing from Waze and would be a great addition, as, without it, you never quite know if you are heading towards issues.

Route default to map view instead of list view
I understand my route more if I visually see it. The default to showing me the list of routes is kind of annoying because I always want to see where I'm headed versus reading where I'm headed.

Why can I not see my route on a planned journey?
I can’t seem to see my planned route before hand. Sometimes it would be better, for me, to go a longer route but constantly moving rather than sitting in traffic through town.

Ability to Select HOV Routes in Carplay
Right now, when checking different routes, you cannot select an HOV route in Carplay (they just do not show up). You can still select it in the iOS app, but for some reason the Carplay app won't accept the route when you select it from the app. It requires you to select a route on the Carplay app (which doesn't include the HOV routes).
The only workaround I found is to set the HOV route before you connect to Carplay, but if you update the route during the trip, it loses the HOV route ability unless you disconnect…

When Searching for "FUEL", add [Nearest] or [Along Route] selector/modifier.
Not only is this needed, but it also needs good UX to make what's happening clear.
In the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of situations, I want the CLOSEST gas station AHEAD (or on my current) route. It could be something as easy as a modal popup that says [BUTTON] in brackets:
[Shortest Distance] or [Nearest Ahead]
Where [Shortest] = "oh my .... I'm on fumes and need fuel NOW"
And
[Nearest Ahead] just does a quick check of your current route, a little balancing to find the shortest route with a 10-minute "lookahead" and presents the user with a list…3 votes -
Train locations in cities with grade crossings should be tracked and reportable as they make a route longer and not ideal.
Train positions of trains and rapid transit at grade crossings should be available in route calculation as they change an ideal route into a not ideal route, and user reports for train locations should be available.

Calculate total tolls for each route option
Some tolls are very high, others reasonable. Now I can only see if there are tolls or not, but not to decide on a reasonable toll road.
In NY, this can be as much as $13 (George Washington Bridge) and $1.50 (Henry Hudson), for example.
144 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze calculates and displays toll prices in many parts of the world. To know when this becomes available in your country, stay tuned on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

Route optimization for manual transmission vehicles (minimize stop-n-go routing)
Allow a user setting for vehicle transmission type. Selecting a "manual transmission" setting would alter the routing engine logic to choose an equal duration or marginally slower route with less stop-n-go traffic (therefore less shifting and holding a manual clutch). Based on traffic speeds and stop signs/lights, routes could be optimized to minimize coming to a complete stop repeatedly.

Allow waze users to report accidet/constractions on road/close road after I finishing "my route"
I propose to allow waze users to report on route accidet/constractions on road/close road after I finishing "my route"..
For now, I drove on the highway and my signed on the route exit was closed - there was constractions and wase didn't show that there was closure. I needed to pass this highway exit and to exit on the next one. I couldn't sing the closure becouse of driving, and after I finished "my route" I wanted to report about the cloused exit in waze for other users, but it didn't find this opportunity in the program. Maybe…3 votes -
Route mapping/sharing social
I believe having some sort of route mapping option akin to services like mapmyrun and Strava would be a great way to introduce a more social aspect for those of us who like driving for the sake of the drive or an adventure.
Myself and many of my friends enjoy just going on random drives where we just go where the wind takes us and see sights with no particular destinations in mind. However mapping those routes and destinations for future reference is challenging and honestly time consuming.
A feature like this as I could currently see it would…

Manual mode - route option for manual cars
The app already has an option to avoid hazardous / complicated intersections. My suggestion is a manual route mode that avoids large hills or road hazards that may be more difficult given a manual transmission.
