  2. Fix the calculation for stopped traffic

    Very often, in heavy traffic, Waze will claim a backup adds a few minutes when in reality it adds a few hours. The code for maroon levels of traffic is beyond poor and needs to reflect actual backups. Waze very often will reroute you I to these and add hours to your trip

  3. Add a grid on the background instead of the uniform grey colour.

    This would increase the "sensation" of perspective and, if the grid is at fixed size (example 100x100 meters) would also help in understanding how much space there's before next turn/crossroad/stop....

  5. Vehicle on left side of highway

    Please add an option to report a vehicle stopped on the LEFT side of the highway. Often a Wazer will report a car on the side of the road, but it’s actually against the left wall and it’s confusing and dangerous.

  6. save lives: hijack hot spot and unsafe or damaged roads

    DANGER HOT SPOTS
    South Africa is riddled with crime and Waze can literally save hundreds of lives by allowing users to post hot sports at dangerous intersections. Simply being aware of a dangerous intersection will allow people to stop at that light with a safe escape distance. If the intersection gets safer somebody could post as not dangerous anymore

    UNSAFE ROADS
    Ive had numerous flat tyres from driving over a pothole. Imagine i could post a section of the road as damaged road. Id then be aware that i should be looking out for potholes. In the unlikely occasion that…

  8. Adding a Stop

    Hello. I would like to suggest that Waze add the feature of choosing a stop along a primary destination route with options based on distance and minutes off of the primary route, similar to Google Maps. For example, I want to add a stop at Starbucks on the way to Target, and Waze only gives me the option of distance, not the minutes off it will take me.

  9. Spotify Compatibility

    When listening to Spotify while navigating using Waze, the audio will stop when Waze detects a hand wave. The audio stops to receive a voice command. Often this hand wave detection is detected by accident. This is not the issue. The issue is that upon canceling or finishing the voice command, Waze restarts audio, but the original source of the audio is ignored, and Waze starts audio from the ITunes Music Library. If listening to audio from Spotify, Waze starts audio from a different, undesired source. This causes a big problem and a potentially dangerous situation as the driver would…

  11. Hazard ahead “Still There?” Buttons distracting

    Hazard warnings for stopped vehicles are sometimes accompanied by radio buttons to confirm whether the vehicle is still in the same place or not.

    These buttons are WAY too bright and large, almost blinding when I’m driving at night.

    Please make these less distracting. My passenger can fill in your update report.

  12. Remove submenus from report “hazard” in CarPlay/AA.

    To report road works, or a stopped car you need to click report then select hazard, then select 1 of 3 submenus and then select the hazard inside the submenu, I think this is unnecessary, since there is enough space in the CarPlay main report menu to separate the “hazard” button into 3 separate icons, each corresponding to one of the previous submenus, this wold eliminate an entire step in the reporting process, making it safer, and therefore more people wold use it.

  13. dynamic rerouting

    Please stop automatic (dynamic) re-routing. Waze no longer is asking for re-routing permission from the user during active navigation. Waze is now dynamically (automatically) re-routes user without askiing nor alerting the user. Please STOP automatic (dynamic) re-routing without asking user's permission. Please stop automatic dynamic re-routing without asking user.

  14. When on hiways, Make app give an alarm if users ahead suddenly slow down it could say alert..traffic stopped or slow ahead.

    When on hiways, Make app give an alarm if users ahead suddenly slow down it could say alert..traffic stopped or slow ahead. Use same technology that makes all pop up and ask if you are in traffic also have app tell you why it is picking a less direct route if it's because of traffic or accident or closure

  15. “Getting fuel/food” option if leaving the route, instead of being nagged to return to it

    We just finished a two way cross country journey between Colorado and New Jersey. As usual we used Waze, and as always it was great. However, whenever we pulled off the interstate for any reason we were, of course, nagged with directions to get back onto it. I thought it would be really useful if a box could pop up where you could choose “stopping for fuel” or food, or rest break, so that the app would just pause directions

  16. Copilot feature

    I have a suggestion that I think would be excellent and differentiating from other applications. This is a functionality that could be called "Copilot", and that allows a device with a Waze account to establish a new destination to a different device. For example, I have Waze on my device while I'm driving, and my wife can set a new destination for me from her own device without having to touch mine, for that reason I thought the function could be called "Copilot".

    This same functionality would also be very useful when navigating with CarPlay, so that I can continue…

  17. Add ability to route via a gas station

    Of all the POIs out there, gas stations are the most important. Waze should be able to incorporate a gas station stop into its directions. It should also be possible for users to report the location of gas stations from the app.

  18. Add option to select car pool when navigating

    Lets popup "carpool?" button after choosing destination in carpool times. This will help to get corresponding exits and more precise calculations. Sometimes traffic stopped while carpool is open and I dont want to get average estimation and alternative route. Thanks!

  20. Report single lane stopped traffic on motorway

    Sometimes there is a build-up of traffic in lane 1 of the motorway when approaching a junction, due to issues off of the motorway - causing cars to slam on their brakes and sometimes even causing accidents - while lanes 2 and 3 remain free-flowing.

    Please allow a way of reporting single lane stopped traffic, or "exit-lane spillover" traffic (not sure how it should be worded).
