Pin drop report function
EVERY time I have seen a cop I haven't used the Report feature because I'm a mile away by the time I report. Then the report is inaccurate and useless for everyone else.
Make it so I can drive by the cop and then pull out my phone and place a pin on the location wjere the report should actually be. I understand your worried about people abusing and reporting thing across town so then only allow someone to report and pin drop something within 1/5mile?21 votes -
Hide bottom toolbar on iPhone
The toolbar on the bottom (drive to, report etc.) should be hidden when in navigation mode to help use up the entire iPhone screen. On screen tap the toolbar can pop back up to access these tools. I just don't think the iPhone screen is large enough to keep that toolbar there at all times. Maybe a setting could enable this auto-hide feature while some people may like it to be shown all the time.

Voice choice
Hi I love the choice of voices. My friends and myself are fond of the voice of the character LUCIFER (Netflix drama - actor Tom Ellis).
He has that very specific tone that is delightful!5 votes -
Secure routes
People should feedback the security of route (too dark, too dangerous, too lonely in a 1-5 scale for example). this way, user can choose route by distance, ETA or security.
Some times I just drive through routes I didn't wanna to if I knew.

Present Route Options First
I recently was going to drive home, a 30 mile trip. Waze said traffic was bad and it was going to take an hour and twenty minutes. I opened up the route options and was appalled to see Waze was going to take me on a route 52.7 miles (for a 30 mile trip) to save 11 minutes. Drive an extra 22.7 miles?! Cmon Waze, gotta do better than that. Please initiate routes by allowing us to select our route by showing us an overview of our options. Thanks!

The option to lock the use of your keyboard during the trip for Safer driving; Insurance Discounts and Gas Station Points
The option to lock your keyboard will allow you to drive without distraction and benefit with multilateral partnerships. If Waze can partner with Insurance companies or Chain gas stations the Wazer who selects the "Drive Mode" would gain points to either of the above for safe driving or gas discounts (two examples). The benefit would be to surrounding drivers and the Wazer themselves as they are earning a reward. We live in a "Points" game world and as Waze already gives you points these would be much more attractive as they will be able to be redeemable.

Police on East Coast using Waze?
My friends and I, spread out in a few states on the east coast have noticed the police are using waze and Untagging themselves at the location of speed traps. This actually has been confirmed by an officer in Central New Jersey. Since many Waze users use the app for the police notifications I suggest in order to remove a police notification 2-3 DIFFERENT waze users must hit "not there"... I would seriously consider adding this sooner than later, maybe in the next update
Thanks for the great app

Waze to initiate pre-determined reply to texts when driving
I want waze to initiate a pre-determined text reply automatically when I am driving, note automatically, so it switches on and off according to when I am driving using Waze. I would set my reply to say: "I'm driving at the moment so please call me as I can't read your texts but can speak to you using bluetooth. This text has been sent to you by Waze navigation app."

A useful improvement:
if you drive faster than the allowed speed, Waze will beep once, but if you could set Waze to beep continuously until you drive at the allowed speed (slower), then it would be a very, very great app

Dim display after X minutes since last driving command
The display brightness should be dimmed after X minutes since the last driving command from waze (e.g. turn right, turn left, etc). The display should be turn back up to the original brightness whenever there is a new driving command,

Ad a ”hide me at this address" function
Suggestion: Make an option to hide me from view to all other wazers within a radius of ?200? meters from a selected address
Why: For example, At home I want to follow my wife/husband coming from work, and I turn waze on, now everyone can see where I (my nickname) live. From there it is easy to track me when I am home or out at it becomes easy to track my routines.
In the long run it would be nice if accepted friends could se you at home, and that you could choose our own radius.33 votes -
Driving "Unplugged "
Put the phone down, observe current driving conditions, adjust accordingly. Don't worry about the location of law enforcement officers, try to drive the same speed as surrounding traffic. You'll burn less fuel, brake pads, and brain cells. Good luck out there and stay safe.

speed warning PERMANENTLY
I would like to see the OPTION to enable the acoustic warning chime PERMANENTLY as long as you drive faster than the speed limit.
Currently this warning chime will only appear once, but in my case for me it would be safer and easier to follow the speed limits when this sound would appear as long as you drive too fast. In this case the warning sound would work like the overspeed warning in airplanes, which definitely makes sense.
And because some people could not like this, it should be an aditional option in the settings.Please concider this, as…

Add Estimated Rest Stops
Allow Waze to look at my previous drives and understand that normally in a 4 hour drive I take one rest stop for approximately 20 minutes. That 20 minutes should be accounted in my ETA I personally think.

Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest an important improvement to the app: adding a button at the beginning of each drive to select the type of vehicle – such as private car, truck, commercial vehicle, bus, etc.
As a truck driver, I often get directed to roads that are not suitable for heavy vehicles – including narrow streets, bridges with height restrictions, or roads where commercial vehicles are prohibited. These situations cause delays, frustration, and sometimes even safety hazards.
I believe this feature would greatly enhance the user experience and allow for more personalized and safe navigation.

Reverse driving directions
Where you have the To and From locations at the top of the screen with the arrow separating the two, you might give the ability for a user to tap on that arrow or an icon that would reverse those driving directions.
Where this would be helpful: in my case, I have two kids that play sports and often get rides with other parents to and from San Diego to orange county. This drive time fluctuates so much based on traffic that this would be helpful to know when I can expect my kids to get home. They don’t always…
