Dog Parks
Date: 01/25/2026
I'd like to suggest adding dog parks in the "parks" category. In the past it has been difficult to find dog parks, let alone a fenced in park where I can let my dogs free roam.Adding dog parks as a location would be a fantastic feature for so many travelers!

Integrate Waze with Google nest cameras
It would be great to be able to connect to Google Nest cameras/doorbell through Waze while driving. Presently, if my phone alerts to someone at the door I have to pull over to use my phone to converse with them. If that was possible through the screen on the car it would make it much simpler. I know a number of Waze users that would switch their camera doorbell provider if this were possible with the Google product.

Saved Addresses
I have a proposal, can you please make like pages for the saved addresses list? after a certain amount it doesn’t show the rest of the list, and I don’t know the other saved addresses I have past like 50 or 100, I can’t even the see the name I put for those addresses, it would be better if we have access to the complete list of saved addresses instead of a limited amount.

Suggestion pour signaler les animaux morts sur la route
Bonjour,
Je souhaite vous suggérer une fonctionnalité qui serait très utile pour la sécurité des conducteurs : la possibilité de signaler les animaux morts sur la route, un animal est avant tout un être vivant et non un objet.
Dans ma région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, c’est un problème fréquent et cela représente un danger pour la circulation. Pouvoir avertir les autres conducteurs via Waze / Google Maps pourrait prévenir des accidents.
Merci de prendre en considération cette suggestion pour améliorer la sécurité de tous, et le respect de ces animaux.

Nomes das ruas atrapalham e poluem a navegação.
Os nomes das ruas , muitas vezes, sobrepõem a seta de negação atrapalhando e dificultando a navegação. Poderia ter um opção de ocultar os nomes das ruas pra tornar a navegação mais limpa.

Bulgarian TTS voice
Waze offers TTS voices in many languages that can pronounce both street names and important alerts. This is extremely useful because alerts like average speed checks, speed bumps, and other warnings are spoken aloud rather than played as brief beeps that can be easy to overlook.
Unfortunately, there is no TTS voice available for Bulgarian. I use the UK voice 'Kate' as a workaround, but it cannot correctly pronounce Bulgarian street names written in Cyrillic. This limits both usability and safety for Bulgarian-speaking drivers.
Please add a Bulgarian TTS voice to ensure proper pronunciation of street names and audible alerts for users in Bulgaria.

Hazard report on other side
There should be the ability to add hazard on the other side for when we see traffic stopped on the other side that has not been reported yet so that cars heading towards that area can be alert of that problem and have a better chance of avoiding accidents and helping fellow Waze users

Avoid Specific Countries When Routing
Hello Google Maps/Apple Maps/Waze Team,
I would like to propose a very important routing feature that is currently missing from all major navigation apps:
📌 Feature: Avoid Specific Countries When Routing
Users should be able to select one or more countries they do NOT want to enter during navigation.
Similar to “Avoid highways” or “Avoid tolls,” but for entire countries.Why this feature matters:
In many regions (especially the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Middle East, etc.), some users are not allowed to enter certain countries due to political restrictions, documentation issues, or border regulations.
Currently:
• Google Maps/Waze/Apple Maps will often propose routes that cross forbidden borders.
• Users have no way to block entire countries from the route.
• This creates serious problems during travel.Example:
A driver in Bosnia may not be allowed to enter Serbia or wants to completely avoid passing through it.
But the navigation app still suggests Serbia as the fastest route.The feature would allow:
• Selecting a list of “Forbidden Countries”
• Routing engine automatically avoids those territories
• Rerouting warnings when approaching restricted bordersImmediate benefits:
• More accurate and safer navigation
• Higher trust in the app
• Better usability for millions of users worldwide
• Avoiding legal issues or accidental border crossingsThis is a small feature to implement but would greatly improve safety and accessibility for users in many regions.
Thank you for considering this important addition.
Best regards,

Needs PIP mode, saved/offline maps, and no Cancel/Shutdown
Waze is honestly better than Google Maps.
But with a few improvements, it can become the perfect navigation app:PIP (Picture-in-Picture) mode:
When I minimize the app, the map should stay visible in a small floating window. Right now it disappears during multitasking, which is inconvenient.Saved / Offline Maps:
There should be an option to download and save maps for your region. This is very helpful in low-signal areas.Back button behaviour:
It should not ask “Cancel” or “Shutdown App” when we press the Back button. It interrupts the navigation experience.4 votes -

Multiple work, home, school, daycare, … destinations
Please add multiple primary destinations. Many people have more than one Home or Work destinations, or drive regularly to School or Daycare. Maybe make the list open ended and add special icons for these other choices.

Private roads should be marked a different colour
This is more for the map editors view on waze, but it would be greatly beneficial to have Private Roads marked as say a dark yellow, and for the off-roads to be marked as brown - just like in the map editor. Accidently went down a dead-end farm road and would have helped to have been aware of a private road colour.
This is a suggestion for the map editors UI view which can be activated in the Waze app. As a side note, have voted on another idea but please make Footpaths marked as a dotted line across both map views.

Shadow the Hedgehog
Please, please PLEASE give us a Shadow voice. The Sonic one is amazing and having the ability to switch over to his rival for a completely opposite vibe from Sonic would be hilarious and amazing all at once! I’d love to hear him get mad or annoyed with making U Turns and stuff. Make it happen!

Take away the chime that alerts you that you’re currently in a traffic jam.
This alert is Pointless. It doesn’t warn you that you are approaching a traffic jam - No, it only alerts you that you are Currently Sitting in a traffic jam. I have tried every option possible to turn this alert off, or change its chime tone, it’s not possible to opt out or change it to silent. It’s beyond stupid. I Hate It!
