Routine Commute Advance Monitoring and Warning
I have a couple of routine, weekday commutes, to and from work. I think it would be beneficial if I could plug in my routine, target arrival times and monitor my commute in advance of my departure. For example, if I need to arrive at home by 6 to pick up kids for a typical 35 minute commute it would start monitoring my commute 1.5 hours or so ahead. If there is a significant delay it would notify me in advance of my typical departure to pay attention early to the commute. I think this would be beneficial in cases…

Please add lane guidance to the Heads up display in carplay
Please add lane guidance to the Heads up display in carplay. If we have to look at main display for the lane direction, it makes the heads up display useless. So kindly complete the heads up display support by giving lane guidance on it.

Add multiple widgets for different addresses
It would be great if I could add a widget for a specific address. Like the Google Maps Directions widget, it's a 1x1 widget that asks for an address and clicking that starts navigation to the specified location.

Bring back the “fastest route”, “add speed cameras”
Fastest route was removed from the app. Also at 3361 third avenue in the Bronx NY there is no camera icon for an installed camera in front of the addresses referenced in this message. Further we need a feature to add bus lane cameras, school zone start and end zone speed enforcement cameras

Create a secure First Responder Waze Clone that alerts users of Waze standard
Create a secure First Responder Waze Clone for genuine first responder organisations (medical, fire etc) that not only does the excellent routing guidance, but which alerts users of normal Waze that a first response blue light run is coming through within 1 minute and from which direction so they can clear the way. Although not everyone uses Waze those that do and might act on the information may make a big difference and help save lives.

Change starting point
Choosing an alternative starting point other than my current location is next to impossible in Waze. I hear complaints from many people who struggle with this issue. Why not make it easy like other map navigation programs? Seems like an easy fix and would go a long way to ending this frustration and concern. I hope you take this concern seriously and do something about it.

One step drive option - Skip all 3 current steps and just start the drive
Currently, when you are going to drive somewhere and you have the exact complete unambiguous address, you are forced to go through 3 steps after you enter the address.
you get a list with 1 matching address and some other non-matching addresses, from which you have to tap the matching address at the top.
A map appears with a button that says "view routes". Again, you are forced to tap the button "view routes"
You get a map with one route highlighted and preselected which I believe is the shortest distance and a "Leave later" and a "Go now" button…

Add new sound option for Nav directions. Use sound as opposed to voice.
Another sound option to have a "ding" (or something similar) to notify the driver of upcoming driving actions (turns, exits, etc.) as opposed to Voice Nav is extremely desirable for me. It would be useful in providing the user the ability to still accurately know when to make the correct turns to get to their destination and avoiding the often lengthy voice directions that are often intrusive to consuming content in the car (podcasts, music, etc.) or intrusive to simply having conversation with company.

North up changes desperately needed
I am trying to use Waze with the map displayed in the direction I’m actually going, North Up, Because with the map always moving what is actually North to just keep my direction always going towards the top of the screen one loses all perspective on where things are. When one would read a paper map one would always keep the map north up, that way you could always learn your relative position to other places. The problem comes in, when the map is set to north up the position is always in the dead middle of the screen rather…

Tsunami directions
At a Tsunami emergency Waze can assist by giving directions the the nearest higher ground.
Today there are also known routs for those cases so even without elevation Waze can just allow her users to learn add to the system a tsunami escape way for future use at an emergency.2 votes -
Samuel L. Jackson
Use Samuel L. Jackson's voice for navigation. Give directions in the same voice he used in the audio book "Go the F#*! to Sleep" by Adam Mansbach. Optional swearing of course.

Improved Alert System for Fixed Cameras at Junctions in Waze
I would like to suggest an enhancement to the way Waze handles alerts for fixed cameras at junctions. Currently, Waze only provides voice alerts for the direction in which the camera is set up, even though the camera captures images from every direction at the junction.
For better safety and user awareness, it would be highly beneficial if Waze could provide voice alerts for all directions when a fixed camera is present at a junction. This would ensure that drivers are fully informed of the camera’s location, regardless of the direction they are traveling.

Preimptive Traffic Notification - Please read it is not just what it seems by headline.
Preemptive traffic notifications! Sounds Alarm, chirp, chime, text w.e. the user selects when normal route would be jammed BEFORE leaving their home/spot. You have the info and capability to recognize patterns in people’s lives. If they leave at 7:30 to get on a bus, subway, truckers cranking up, no matter who it is, Waze could see that their normal route is delayed 2 hours and let them know BEFORE they have left. Think of the possibilists. People with flexible schedules, Truckers, Subway goers… Repeating but flexible route drivers (delivery etc.)… lots of people benefit so much! Even me, because I…

Cardinal directions on the map!
Cardinal directions on the map! GPS often can't tell which way you're facing immediately so you can't tell which way wazs is telling you to take your first tirn, causing you to need to guess which way to take said first turn, ESPECIALLY when there are no road signs to tell you which road waze is talking about, and when Murphy's law kicks in and you take the wrong first turn you end up cussing at waze and doing a pointless uturn that could have been avoided of waze was clear about which way it thinks is right/left on…

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.

CarPlay enhancement
When using Apple CarPlay, the location triangle is placed WAY too high on the map, allowing only about 25% of the direction to be visible. 75% of the map is where I have already driven, which is useless information. I’d rather have the map show me where I’m going; it where I’ve been. Also, the location triable pin is HUGE and takes up too much space on the map.

Safety concern
A have a safety concern regarding the map look update. The new update moves the direction window from the top left to top right when there is a speed camera (or similar) window popsup. While driving, the driver's eye is used to looking on top left for direction, now gets lost and try to find the direction box on the screen which distracts the driving. Instead of moving the directions window, I want to see the notification pop up on the right side (or any other suitable place) on the map on a smaller window. That would be…
