  1. Feedback on poor service

    App takes really long time to search for address's compare to other services like google maps.

    During a recent Natural disaster my local city faced, We got spam blocked from marking all the pot holes and hazards that were created and other road issues. Honestly it capped at 6-8 reports. We had 100's.

    Additionally all the alerts made disappeared after 2 days even though they were all still present and users in the area kept say they were still their.

    Furthermore the red light camera notification keeps turning my music off, and there's no options to change how that works…

  2. Bus lanes - when you are allowed to use them - or is there any bus lane watch out for

    I would love to see bus lanes in Waze. I live in London, driving 50 or so miles a day and I think it would help to get from A to B faster.

    In London majority of bus lanes are restricted for certain times.
    for example 07 am to 10 am and any other times anyone can use it. Or different times, the point is that they are not always restricted.

    The way I see it, a small icon on the screen that resembles to something like a bus lane when the bus lane where you are is blue when…

  4. More engagement with existing markers

    The option to report a hidden car is sometimes not specific enough. Sometimes it is a mobile speed camera. Or it’s a phone / seatbelt detector. The road chat option is the closest option we have so far when used along with a police marker. Either that or add the ability for other drivers to give extra info when more information is figured out so if a passer-by notices the report bit it isn’t in-depth enough or is just a bit to far for it to look current. They can add to the marker giving a more in-depth description…

  5. Various suggestions taken from other systems

    Hello everyone,
    after a period where I have been a passenger of friends and colleagues ( due to surgery   ) I decided to write down what, in my opinion, can be insights to further improve this navigation system.

    As a first suggestion ( I copy the idea from AmiGo ) is to make the indication of the speed limit and current speed more intuitive and readable by using colors inside the speedometer. The idea of verbally indicating the speed of speed cameras can also be very helpful.

    The second point I would like to suggest ( this time the…

  6. Speed alerts ,audio speed changes,school zones

      I use Waze to help give me audio alert when I go over the speed limit. Only thing is that it only alerts you one time and if you go over the speed limit again it will not alert you. I would find it very beneficial but it alerts you every time you go over the speed limit.
       I would also would like to have school zones added and alerted. And possibly have speed limit decrease to 20 mph when school zones are active with audio alerts.
     I live in a very small town and is known to have speed

  8. sonido ante radares

    I would like you to implement the following suggestion. I'm contacting you from Spain.

    For those of us who have Android Auto in our cars, when we encounter a speed camera, Waze informs us via text on the vehicle's central display. If we're traveling at 80 km/h and have to look at the display for a second, the vehicle travels more than 20 meters. That distance is enough to cause an accident, which wouldn't happen if the warning were audible.
    Do you think this is reason enough to incorporate it into the app? I think you should consider it…

  10. Really great app! Thank you guys for doing such good job!

    But nevertheless there are some features that could be done better:
    1. App freezes sometimes after start then there is no connection with GSM network.
    2. Then there are numerous alerts on the same spot, only nearest is announced. E.g. among "police", "accident on the road" and "vehicle on the shoulder" happend in the same area, only "vehicle on the shoulder" will be announced, meanwhile "police" is more important, because it is also used for mobile radars. It would be great, if "police" alert had priority over others alerts.
    3. Mobile radars or LIDARs. Then I see one on the…

  11. Either allow users to disable popup notifications, or reduce the amount of screen real-estate used to display it

    Popups for slow-downs in traffic, traffic cameras, etc may be useful, but why not condense the information into a smaller area which doesnt obstruct ones view of the route. Secondly, why do I need to see the same notification repeatedly when I've already acknowledged it for the first time?

  12. Stop Alterts Reducing - option to turn off familiarity capping

    WAZE stores undeletable drive history to determine user's “usual routes”. This history can't be deleted by clearing the drive history in privacy settings. The history stops users receiving permanent ‘driving behaviour’ camera alerts on identified "usual routes" - regardless of user alert settings. WAZE even stops showing ‘driving behaviour’ cameras at all (such as phone and seatbelt cameras) on the map on usual routes, regardless of user alert settings. This is a major fail. Users will naturally forget about these cameras and be exposed to fines, all the while having no idea that WAZE has stopped alerting…

  13. Optional "no map" (trip computer) view when route is known

    8 out of 10 times I use Waze driving to and from work, a route I know very well so I don't need Waze to show me my position on the map.
    What I instead would like is a "trip computer" kind of interface, showing me things like my current speed, current speed limit (if known), maybe a color code for traffic ahead on route (green, yellow, red), ETA, current road name (nice to have, not need to have - I know where I am), live updates of incidents (needs to update themselves automatically), textual navigation instructions like "turn right…

    ALERTS - NOTIFICATION ADVANCED BASED ON ACTUAL SPEED, NOT AT FIXED DISTANCES.

    Reduce notification distance (based on speed limits, best on current average speed, better on a setting based on current average speed).

    It often happens me that on city roads the navigator gives me informations about three crossroads ahead causing confusion.

    I hear "traffic light with camera" I expect it to be the very next traffic light, not the the one after that.

    Or "railroad crossing ahead" and I turn on a road 100m before the railroad (using waze just for map, not for actual navigation).

    For this…

  15. Alerts based on Route

    Since Waze has the ability to track your trips I came up with this.

    Lets say you drive to work everyday. You know their are 5 Speed Cameras, 4 Construction Zones and 6 Potholes. Waze should automatically disable it's alerts if you are familiar with the Route.

    Lets say it disables it when Waze knows you have been on the same Route for at least a week.

    Now if for example later on in the future there is a new Construction, or SpeedCamera installed on the same route it alerts you since it's new.

    This would eliminate the…

  16. General map editing fixes

    When it comes to submitting a claim that part of the map is incorrect, the Waze contributor that contacts me speaks to me in a one-way conversation. I have no ability to text back, so he says that "no the map is fine" but he doesn't know that the recently there was construction and a new speed camera was installed. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to message him back. It's like an email inbox where I can only receive but I cannot send. If I could send and I can attach images as proof that the map has changed,…

  17. Bring back old style warning/notifications in the upper part of the display

    The latest update brought us a new style of warnings. In previous versions, the warnings were color coded (green = speed/redlight camera, blue = police, and so on) and were shown in the upper part of the map/display.

    With the latest update, the warnings were moved to the bottom of the screen and in some not so flashy colors, and they easily blend with the rest of the app layout, making it harder to visualize them when looking through the corner of your eye (as to not lose sight of the road ahead). I know there are audio warnings,…

  20. time estimation before/immediate and making it better

    time estimation has been roughly a little wrong cause the it doesn’t take into matter any traffic light and how much that traffic light is taking to open so if there is a way of knowing where traffic lights are for example like when we report a camera we should also be able to report a traffic light and the program estimates every time that the traffic light opens by the cars moving in every time of the day until it collects the right amount of data and know what time it opens and closes and of course it has…
