Return to original route if I deviate
If there are multiple routes to a destination, I will choose the one which most suits me, even if sometimes it’s a little longer because it avoids difficult roads (I live in the countryside; there are a lot). But sometimes, for instance when one of my local roads floods, the way I prefer to avoid that road closure is not one of Waze’s options, so I will deviate from the route. Except after I do that, Waze will automatically put me on one of its other routes; often without saying.
Please have an option that will allow…

Import planned route in .gpx format

Secure routes
People should feedback the security of route (too dark, too dangerous, too lonely in a 1-5 scale for example). this way, user can choose route by distance, ETA or security.
Some times I just drive through routes I didn't wanna to if I knew.

Fixbug where reporting traffic for instance while deviating from a turn by turn route places the reported event on the route not on the path
Fix the bug where reporting traffic for instance while deviating from a turn by turn route places the reported event on the route not on the path actually being followed (ie current location)

Prevent route popup when using android auto
Route popup always appears on start up. This is not always wanted as it hogs up the screen and each journey does not require a defined destination.
Adding an option to turn on/off on start up would be nice.

Request for Recalculation of Route after Deviating from Predefined Path
Hello,My name is Paul, and I have been using the Waze app for some time. I have noticed that when I choose to deviate from the predefined route, the app continues to redirect me back to the original route, even though I would prefer a recalculation of a new route from my current location.Please consider adding an option in Waze that allows for the automatic recalculation of the route starting from the point where the user deviated from the predefined path. This functionality would be extremely useful in situations where the initial route is no longer optimal or…

Latest Waze app versions on Android make car position and route useless
Dear support,
For a while the split screen in Android is not the best way to use Waze. The location and route are hidden.
I have been using Android Head-Unit since 2021 and the best application for navigation was Waze for some time, till sometime last year when an update broke the rendering with notifications and now completely put my car position and route outside the display. I usually use split-screen as the display is shared between Waze and another application.
Previously (last year), the car position and route was hidden by messages, but after canceling the message, I was…

Voice summary of the duration and incidents of the selected route.
When starting a route, the duration, arrival time and current incidents on the route are reported by voice.
The power to use the application without touching anything, only by voice, has to be further promoted.

Personalized routes
Would be nice to be able to select which routes are more preferable in terms of time/length/convenience. Example: prefer long route vs traffic jam, or faster route vs shortest, or hard faster route vs nice longer road.
Basically allow to choose what's more important - time, money (gas), complexity (novice drivers prefer less crowded roads), maybe even "nice view" coefficient, and adjust the way Waze calculates the route for the individual.6 votes -
Further customizability in route options for drivers (enthusiast drivers)
Not only do, I feel like the special voices should have street names as well, especially in the age of advanced speech to text and artificial intelligence, but I also feel strongly that there should be more customizability for route options as it relates to those who enjoy the art of driving… there are toggles to avoid freeways and avoid unpaved roads, but why not a toggle for someone who enjoys the freeways, but also enjoys a fun route with minimal traffic… Something along the lanes of a “enthusiast toggle” where it shows a dynamic route with fun, challenge, curves…

Use my device's GPS accuracy to determine route stickyness
I often find myself "stuck" to parallel roads because Waze routed me that way and I "must" be following the route--even though my GPS places me over 20m (65ft) away!
When I go to Taco Bell on my way to work, it's so I can go through the drive thru, NOT so I can roll past the front door as Waze would have me do. But the 15m (50ft) out of the parking lot is "close enough" to assume that I'm following the route.
This also happens when I'm trying to train Waze to take a longer …1 vote -
Route planning based on severe weather
Is it possible to add a radar weather layer to the navigation map while driving in real time and suggest alternative routes to avoid severe weather. It would be useful to avoid large snow/ ice storms or hail/ thunder storms.

Add road closures when not on a route
Android and Car Play do not let you mark road closures while driving. In large cities, WAZE is often inaccurate because of the number of event road closures that go unreported. Please add a feature to add road closures for non-drivers and off-route drivers in large cities.

Ability to pick a route as favourite
For people with anxiety, new roads can be tricky to navigate. The possibility of picking a favourite route to go to your destination, so each time you drive there Waze suggests it automatically, would be great.

Please, can we have breadcrumbs to use a return route.
use of a return on the same route would be hugely beneficial - also to see frequently used routes would be similarly useful!.

Push notification regarding traffic on your regular routes
I would like to receive push notifications at predefined times, for instance every morning at 8:00, regarding traffic on my usual route to work as I don't turn on waze for driving routes I know at regular times. Waze could notify me of an accident and display the name of the alternative route, that way I don't even have to open the app.
