DANGER!: Deactivate messages such as calendar reminders which require the driver to fumble with the phone and thereby exposes him to danger!
DANGER!: While driving with Waze, messages such as calendar reminders, which require the driver to fumble with the phone in order to reactivate Waze, and thereby exposes him to danger while driving, need to be deactivated!

Accident alert to phone messages or email in real time in a chosen area or district
Hi Waze team
I’m from Sydney Australia,
My staff and I all use Waze for our navigation and we love it.I have a suggestion,
Is there a way to get a sound alert when someone reports an accident or heavy traffic in a certain district or area ?
If we are able to nominate an area of our city that we would like notifications on,
It could even send a text message to our phone
This would be a great addition to help avoid accident or traffic before we even jump in the trucks

Waze based stand alone GPS unit
My cell phone is WAY too distracting to me. I know I should leave it set to waze only, but all the notifications distract me. I really need a stand alone unit that only does Waze so that I can leave my phone in the back and not touch it while I am driving. It looks like Garmin has traffic updates, but I would rather have Waze.

"Share" address to phone being used for navigation
When you are in the car using waze and need to change the address where you want to go, in case there is some one next to you, they could easily open the their waze app, search the address and share it to the phone being used for navigation.

Introduce the possibility of using the same account in different phones
The account management is REALLY disappointing... It is impossible to use an account in the same phone after reinstalling the APP, it is impossible to change the password, it is impossible to use the account in a different phone... The whole account management system is a disaster!

expose intents
for all clients expose an API
for Android expose:
• intents
• broadcast intents
• application shortcutsfor the slightly savvier user this allows accelerated navigation by macro (Tasker, Llama, OmniDroid, et al)
API allows for similar macro- or automation apps on iOS (ipad, iPhone), windows mobile, other platforms surely
instead of
° load waze
° click or swipe to open navigate to UI
° search for address
° select match
° go
° pick routethe macro app could accomplish this in
ONE click
this is employing merely one of a panoply of time saving waze…

Report map issues on CarPlay screen
When hitting report on the CarPlay screen, Map Issue isn't one of the options. If there is a map issue you cannot even do it from the phone since the display is different. You have to quickly unplug the phone from the car so Waze goes into normal phone mode, and do it from there. That is too much of a dangerous distraction messing around whit phone cables and the phone. Everything in the app should be easily accessible on the car play screen. For transcribing the map issue you can use voice to text, exactly how the i…

Waze powered social speed alert standalone device for car with data built in
Speed camera warning devices are always out of date and don’t warn of police sat by the road or mobile vans. I would like a standalone device connected to the internet and with an audio and I visual warning in a discreet package.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Voice countdown to speed cameras (like radarbot)
It would be a massive benefit to have a countdown to speed cameras and the associated speed limit to be sounded very 50m or so when approaching any camera on route.
See Radarbot. Very useful but would be great in Waze.

Make a Map showing Internet Coverage blackouts...
...to show to Cell Phone companies in order to fix it.
The map would be self-explanatory and self-feeding.16 votes -
Ability to switch speed/speed limit display.
The speed limit is the critical information. Currently it is the smaller of the two shown. Often, on a phone, the speed limit is too hard to read.

Waze should have Patch Notes for every update. Let Users know what has changed with each new version (dropped support, improved support etc)
Patch Notes, like those implemented in every online game in the past two decades, would drastically reduce User issue-reporting (with the app) due to misunderstanding of which Waze features are supported, which are not, which features have lost support and where etc.
Just every time the User updates the app, upon next sign-in, just flash a dialogue box with the latest patch notes (perhaps a link).
As an aside: the Help Center could be more clear and specific about how certain features (e.g., speed camera alerts) work. The exact parameters for getting audible speed camera alerts are not known and…

Only place I could find to ask for help. I got new phone, and accidentally started a new acct with the same phone #. Now won't load either
I need help! I got a new phone and when I went to Waze app, I tried to log in, but created a new acct instead with the same phone number. Now it won't load either account. A suggestion would be to have somewhere to get technical support. The forums are a jumble of info.

Option to submit reports via phone app while using CarPlay
It’s so much easier (therefore safer) for me to navigate a menu on my phone than on my car’s touchscreen dashboard; it’s harder to report on the car touchscreen because it’s farther away, less responsive, and the teeny tiniest little bump can move my finger and make me hit the wrong thing, so it keeps my eyes and focus off the road for longer than if I can just click through a menu on my phone with my thumb with a couple quick glances.
Currently, in order to use my phone for reports while using CarPlay I have to unplug…

Account recovery not a new account
How about when a user gets a new phone or their phone crashes (both scenarios keep original Waze account phone number) an account reset or recovery option? You know, one that does NOT create a new account and informs you afterwards that you just hosed yourself because now you will never get your account back. I'm not so worried about the "points" I lost, it's my user name that still shows up as a user that I can no longer access. It's great you guys gobbled up Waze, how about raising your standards to that of the original company?

Have music control buttons on the UI or as a fly-out.
Have music player interface buttons in the UI. I use my phone for entertainment and NAV guidance. Having to switch between is a pain.

Larger exit graphic on top right corner. The exit numbers on the map are too small. They need to be made larger
On a previous version of Waze, the exit number icon/graphic was larger and easier to see on a mobile phone. It would be great for the exit number icon/graphic to be made larger.
