Please add all New York City School Zone Camera Units to the WAZE maps for the purpose of reducing violations there are over 2,000 in numbr
Please take note by this suggestion that I have incurred many School Zone Speeding tickets since the DeBlasio administration installed over 2,000 camera units throughout New York City, if WAZE provided functionality by visual icon, sound alert or any means informing drivers of the many School Zone Speed Cameras requesting drivers to reduce their speed to 25 mph then this would give rise to a great service and would remediate many violations as well perhaps save incidents of pedestrian accidents. Thank you WAZE.

PLEASE make it EASIER to add an address to a favorite
Please make it easier to favorite an address. I logged into the web version (from my PC), and there is no where to add an address to favorites. I chose send address to phone, and then I had to point camera to a QR code - why doesn't it just send it to the phone via the internet? Anyways, the navigation to the address comes up - but NO WHERE is there an option to add to favorite. Nice app, but please make this easier.

Sound Alert for Nearby Reports
Say someone made a report using Waze. But you don't look at the phone constantly. It would be nice to hear a sound alert through the phone, letting you know that there is a Report (be it an accident, police, etc...) upcoming or nearby.

Thumbs up and down
When you get a notification of a problem/thing on the road, instead of confirming by having to touch your phone, the camera starts up and you can show your real thumbs up (or up and down). That way, you can easily confirm without touching your screen. That way it’s safer and easier, wich can make the wazecommunity even bigger!

Note highways patrolled by hidden cameras
I-680 in Youngstown Ohio is a slow 50 mph due to curves. The local police are now just standing on overpasses hidden and out of view to drivers, and using camera technology to ticket you. You will not know you were caught speeding until 6 weeks later in mail. No signs on hway note this technology. Wazers should be able to report stretches of highway your are now entering are patrolled by hidden camera technology.
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.

Notification prioritisation
Sometimes when there is a vehicle stopped near a speed camera, the app will prioritise showing the stopped vehicle over the speed camera. Can we have a setting to allow us to set notification priorities to dictate which notifications are shown ahead of others.

Change settings in Waze on my phone without having to disconnect from android auto
If I want to change to avoiding tolls I have to disconnect from android auto in order to change that feature on my phone
2 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
Android Auto Proected is a major focus for us in this year, and we encourage you to read more about it in the Android Auto forum for updates and latest releases.

Turn by turn broken in Landscape mode on phone as second screen
When using my phone as a second screen in landscape orientation it no longer shows the turn by turn on the full phone screen. Instead, the phone screen looks like Waze is not connected to the car and shows the map as well. This is not useful since the map is already on the main car screen and now the turn by turn is not readable

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
Reg
From Sydney

Partner with Chrysler so Waze can be one of the apps displayed on the screen of the new Uconnect systems in 2013 Rams etc
The new Uconnect system supports some mobile apps and I think Waze would be awesome to use on it instead of just merely hearing Waze through the speakers.

The use of HUB mobile navigator bracket is great for safe driving.
To the Waze creator/s,
It would be nice to have such a great navigator like Waze to install an invert screen of the map and data so we can use with HUB mobile navigation bracket. There are others who offer the invert screen to reflect the Hub but they are unreliable. Waze is the best and we users should have those features so we don't have to use any other navigator. Now I'm force to use Navmii but I really want Waze to guide me. :(
Is there any chance this will become a reality with Waze?Your faithful user,…

Restore and add more alert choices and sub-choices - make the last more visible
Hello, Waze. For unknown reason to us, your users, you are lowering the variety of the alerts that could be reported and/or their sub-options. The most striking example is the police reporting option where it is not possible to report a police from the other side. Please restore it. Please, add the following reports:
1) stationary speed camera
1.1) please add a detail about the direction the already added stationary speed cameras are pointing at - towards the incoming cars or at the same direction of the road lane group. Also add this as an option for the ones…2 votes -
Diable Phone interuption display when navigating
When navigating and you receive a call, the navigation display is disabled all the time you are on a call, when most of the time I need the navigation especially around cities.
Can you make it so that only a small pop-up reminds you that a call is being received/made and yet still displays the maps and route?2 votes -
Feature Request "Adding Favorites via My Dashboard"
I think it would be great if we could add/edit/delete our Favourites via the "My Dashboard" instead of just on the phone. The commercial Product I have on my phone lets me manage all this via their Website.

Audio as "incoming call"
I often use Waze in the car when NOT listening to the Bluetooth audio stream. Waze via the phone speaker is inaudible. Can Waze simulate an incoming call to the handsfree kit so it will mute audio and play the instructions over the speakers in the car rather than the speaker in my phone?

Please update the WP8 app for better battery usage and overheating
The new WP8 is very harsh on the battery and overheats the phone like nothing I have ever seen before. Others have complained of this same issue in the reviews section of the Windows Phone Store. Even if the phone is plugged into the car's power source, the Waze app uses the battery faster than it is being charged and the charging just can't keep up. Makes the app impossible to use without draining battery and overheating phone.
10 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is no longer supported on any Windows Phone device and is not planned to be supported in the near future.

App2sd support for waze android-version
Android-based mobile phones have started to get 2.2 (FroYo), which brought support for moving applications to SD card. Since Waze is quite a big application (~6 mb for me), it would be really good to be able to move it to the memory card.
