Allow update of gas prices to 3 decimals
It is a mistake to assume that all gas prices end in 9/10. Gas in Canada is sold not in dollars, but in cents. For example, gas may be listed at 124.9. Wazers can correctly update it to 1.249. But if that price is 125.0, the closest it can be updated to is 124.9. Another Wazer may see that as incorrect and change it to 125.9 It is not at all uncommon to find gas with prices ending in .4, .5, even .0.
I have witnessed long lineups at competing pumps where one station is charging 3/10 of a cent…2 votes -
Instant directions
An option to just go for the first results on search without any confirmation. As instantaneous as its machinely possible.
I just love the experience of telling "ok google, take me to XYZ place" and get directoins within 3 seconds. This is what it should feel like driving in 2017.

Multi-day future planned routes + Weather condition integration & notifications coinciding with future route planning
It would be helpful if Waze allowed for planned routes that are regularly occurring to be set e.g. (Mon-Fri 8am-5pm). As well as a notification if there are any weather conditions that may affect that planned commute. If so, a general recommendation of what time to leave to allow for possible traffic build up in order to arrive on time. Essentially it would require weather integration, possibly AccuWeather.

Use governmental gas price database in Germany
In Germany there is a database with official and up to date (delay of under 5 minutes, probably more like 1 minute) database with gas prices. All gas stations have to report their prices to that database.
It would be great if Waze would use that database. The information is free and many apps that use it exist (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mobilesoftwareag.clevertanken , https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.msg)
More details here: https://www.bundeskartellamt.de/DE/Wirtschaftsbereiche/Mineral%C3%B6l/MTS-Kraftstoffe/mtskraftstoffe_node.htmlSimilar projects might exist in other countries too. If any of the users know about similar databases elsewhere, please comment here.
Thank you!

Show Status Bar: Next gas station 5 miles on Route Kilometers
An idea.
Problem: I am on a trip from 800 kilometers with the route defined and must supply the vehicle in the middle of the route must go into settings and check for Waze fuel stations near which usually makes me out of route.
Solution: The Waze could show on the main screen a status bar stating "the next gas station 5 km, 3 km" which is on the route "always updating this status when we passed the gas station, or even show the price of fuel preferred the next 3 posts so I can choose whether it is better…

All the audio apps appear to be streaming. What about MP3 players? I use MediaMonkey.
Please add MediaMonkey MP3 player to available audio apps.

message car to car
It would be useful to add the possibility to send a message to another car using the car license plate number
This is useful when a car has a taillight out of order or when you forget the back foglamps on.
In any case in all situations in which you want to warn a car of a potential danger.
Naturally, the message is only received even if the target car has the active waze application.

What comes after the Waze Royalty?
What is next after Waze Royalty? How about a Trucker Hat or adding jewels to the crown? Seems like there needs to be some additional steps to keep this exciting.

Offline bike navigation (for iPhone)
I’m a pizza driver and when I don’t know what route I should take, I have to consult a navigation app. Thing is, there is no navigation app like yours... so if you could please add this feature, I’d download your app in a heartbeat.

Carbon footprint
Could you estimate the carbon footprint of a journey and include the statistics as part of the trip info. You could ask for car information as part of the process which would allow you to work out what cars people have. I would like to be able to choose the journey based on least carbon generated if I am not in a hurry.

What is 3D Scanning in VFX?
At its core, 3D scanning is the process of capturing the physical shape and texture of an object or environment with high precision. Using specialized scanners like lidar, photogrammetry rigs, or structured Camera & Lighting systems professionals generate detailed digital models that can be integrated into computer-generated imagery (CGI). These digital assets are often used in post-production to blend real-world elements with computer-generated content, enhancing realism and narrative possibilities.

Universal 2nd Factor Authentication (U2F, MFA)
Waze should introduce support for Universal 2nd Factor authentication via authentication app (not SMS) to ensure user data (especially location data) is as secure as possible. More info on support for U2F, 2FA, and USB dongles can be found here:

Improve spoken voice prompts speed
I often find that when driving at speeds faster than 50mph and approaching roundabouts(slowing down of course) off slip roads from dual carriageways/ Motorways often the voice prompts are to slow in mentioning in what turn I need resulting in me needing to go around the roundabout twice to understand the given direction or as the case in the last few days actually being told which turn whilst on the roundabout going past the turn I needed!!
Please look into this as my Garmin unit still gets used a lot because of this problem making it sometimes unsafe to consider…

Quick Submission Links PLEASE!
I got to think 70%+ of what we report is 'car on side of road' or 'Police (Visible) on side of road'. How about quick submission links on home screen? I would think with just those two buttons the amount of submissions would go up huge! #EveryoneWins :)

icons on map view
When I am looking at my three route options, the List view shows my small icons representing events on my suggested paths. But, when I switch to Map view - when I want to SEE what's going on where - those same icons are nowhere to be found.
Having the event icons on the map view (when choosing a route) would help me make a more informed decision on which route to choose because I can see for certain how traffic, accidents, etc. will impact each route and which makes more sense (based upon prior experience on those roads).
Thanks!…

prioritize search results in the direction of travel.
When traveling long road trips, it there some way to prioritize searches only in the direction of travel? In the current setup When looking for restaurants, or shopping, it never fails, Waze is constantly trying to send me backwards 5, 10 or 20 miles behind me to get to something, I would prefer to have it only look ahead, even if its 40 or 50 miles ahead of me along my travel route, and not have to turn around and go back 10 miles for a business. Or at least give me the option to prioritize the business ahead of…

Waze augmented reality kit for motorcycle helmets
What about developping an augmented reality Waze kit tailored for helmets and that would display a customized version of Waze infos for motorcyclists ? Connected to the app with BTLE.
Could be more efficient, safer, rider-centric. We have cool ideas on how to build a good hardware for this.4 votes -
Route info for drivers eligible for the Commute (HOV) lane.
When giving route info do you take into consideration wether commuters are eligible to use the commute (HOV) lane. Some commute lanes require 2 or 3 persons per vehicle. We were traveling form Palm Springs to Redwood City, California, and were diverted to an alternate route because of traffic conditions. We were not sure if the commute lanes
were also full.4 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze offers HOV routing for taxis. To change your vehicle type go to Settings > Vehicle type. There are currently no plans to add more HOV options.
