Limit voice direction repeats
We need an option where we can limit the number of times the Voice directions tell us to "Keep right," etc. If you tell me the exit to take, I don't need you to tell me to "Now exit," and then "Keep the left." It becomes extremely annoying. If some people like it, that's fine, but we should have the option to limit.

Report Extended Events
There are construction areas (for example) which stretch some length (a mile or more). It would be great to report these as an extended region, not a single point, since they're usually accompanied by a lower speed limit. They might be activated by an upward gesture of the report button (as opposed to the sideways gesture that the iPhone currently supports for traffic reporting).

Improvement needed
I was checking out waze and I was really impressed... I felt like the waze experience was incomplete without a proper feedback. Hence I decided to give you guys a few suggestions on it: 1) Pls include downloading of maps of a certain area or preferably offline caching of Entire maps. 2) I noticed that initially the direction of the heading was wrong 4 out of 5 times, thus why not included an optional magnetic correction as it will definitely remove this error.

fade out old road traffic instead of not showing at all
at the moment I can only see recent traffic reports, but not those that were reported for example 20minutes ago.
It would be much more helpful if the client would always show the latest reported road traffic status.
the color could be faded out over time to indicate how old a report is.
the client should offer an option of the maximum age of reports that should be displayed and if a wazer reports that the road is free again, then the old report needs to be removed.4 votes -
report route change due to traffic
It happens a lot that the route is taking me to a heavy traffic road. I turn to avoid it, but can't report it. It would be great to have a pop-up when avoiding the suggested route to ask if it's due to traffic

Are you in traffic?
When the system asks if you are in traffic?? you can answer yes or no. For the amount of times that you have stopped for a coffee or gas and there is no traffic...instead of the system assuming you are and then saying that "First street" is at a standstill...make the automatic answer no, then if we are we can answer yes. I think this will reduce the fake high traffic areas people complain about

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....

Resolve GPRS/EDGE connectivity issue
Wifi works great, but when I am on road or trying to connect via GPRS, Waze rarely connects. On the web and on the Waze forums itself this issues is litterred numerous times, with various people discovering different ways which made it work for them. None of them, unfortunately worked for me. This means that on road, I have no Waze connectivity for updates. Bad. This should be a critical issue to be put on top priority.

Remember Events filter
I would like the client to remember the setting I select for filtering Events. "Around Me", "On Route" and "My Groups" are great filters, but when I return to the map/driving view, I want my Events count at the top to be filtered and when I tap on it/select it, I want my Events report list to still be filtered by the same criteria.

Road trip mode: track progress since activation, share milestones
For longer, multi-stage trips, a more robust kind of logging might be useful. This "road trip" mode would keep track of the distance traveled since activation, and post a message on Twitter, Facebook, etc. when a milestone has been passed (e.g., passing a predetermined amount of miles or crossing a state/provincial/national boundary).

Alert for fixed parking enforcement cameras when stopping
Please add an alert when a vehicle slows down and stops within a defined enforcement zone monitored by fixed parking cameras.
This would help drivers avoid unintentional parking violations, especially in areas with unclear signage or new residents/visitors.
Suggested options:
• Toggle on/off in alerts settings
• Alert only below X km/h and when vehicle remains stationary for Y seconds
• Show a “parking enforcement camera zone” banner3 votes -

Send an alert as soon as an accident occurs on the route so driver can consider another before Waze suggests one
Send an alert as soon as an accident occurs on the current route so driver can immediately consider another. It takes Waze a while to suggest a new one as it waits for traffic to build up while a driver will know that is likely to happen and can pick another route before it is too late.

Enhanced 3D Junction View for Improved Navigation with 3D illustrations
Enhanced 3D Junction View for Improved Navigation
The current Waze display on the BMW X1's 8-inch screen utilizes the full space but lacks critical lane-level detail, especially during complex maneuvers. Implementing enhanced 3D illustrations for specific challenging road features would significantly improve driver clarity and safety.- Complex Interchanges and Lane Guidance For junctions where a simple directional arrow is insufficient, a dynamic 3D view is needed to guide drivers into the correct lane well in advance.
Motorway Splits and Exits:
Need: Show complex motorway splits (e.g., merging onto two separate dual carriageway A-roads) and exits.
Proposed Feature: Display a 3D-rendered sign and road environment that clearly highlights the correct exit and required lane. This should appear several hundred meters before the split, with a countdown timer or distance marker.
Sequential Close Junctions:
Need: Guidance for immediate, sequential turns (e.g., turn right at the first light, then an immediate left at the second).
Proposed Feature: The 3D view should highlight the recommended lane for the first maneuver and then transition to highlight the required lane for the second maneuver as the driver approaches the second set of traffic lights.
- Multi-Lane Roundabouts (Including Double Roundabouts) Navigating multi-lane or double roundabouts requires clear, pre-emptive lane instruction.
Proposed Feature: Display an aerial 3D illustration of the entire roundabout. This view must show all entry lanes and highlight the exact lane the driver needs to enter the roundabout in, ensuring they are positioned correctly to take their designated exit. This instruction must be given sufficiently in advance of the approach.
- Motorway Exit Continuation Often, the most challenging part of a motorway journey is not the exit itself, but knowing which lane to be in immediately after the exit to prepare for the next turn or merge.
Proposed Feature: Upon exiting the motorway, display a transitional 3D view showing the layout of the receiving road. This illustration should:
Clearly indicate the total number of lanes on the new road.
Highlight the specific lane the driver should move into (or remain in) to facilitate the very next step in the navigation (e.g., preparing for an upcoming slip road, merge, or turn).

Shadow the Hedgehog
I see you recently introduced Sonic as a Navigator and he's already super fun and gives me the happiest time while driving. I was wondering in the spirit of rivals, could we get a shadow version too to go along with it. Keanu Reeves, David Humphrey, Jason Griffith, or Kirk Thorton!

Simplify ability to mark roads as closed
There is a road closure near me which is not currently shown on Waze and Waze therefore keeps trying to route through this closure. I know it is there so why am I not able to simply mark a road as closed anywhere (ie not just when I am on a route)? Otherwise people will keep being routed towards a closure and the last thing they are thinking of when they are having to turn around and go a different way is to inform Waze about the closure. Seems such a simple fix and if you are worried about it being abused by people who would inform of closed roads as a joke, it could be verified by two or more users so that you know it is genuine.

Make the electric car pop-up optional
The electric car pop up shows every time I am putting in an address to go to. I don’t have an electric car and many others don’t as well. This pop-up should be removed and put under settings a person with an electric car can turn that feature on.
