Personal statistics
Would be nice to get stats about your personal routes : average travel time between your first 2 or 3 destinations, average waze error on ETA (accuracy and precision - see wikipedia for the difference), time you spend driving per day, number of wazers you cross... one can invent all sort of fun and useful statistics.
31 votesWe plan to work on having a personal statistics of the routes taken in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

Record of all incoming and outgoing notifications for future reference
I would like to see more transparency in the notifications that Waze sends and receives. In particular I would like to be able to access a list of all the notifications that Waze sends automatic to those I am sharing my drive with (eg, eta, delayed arrival etc) for future reference. The same for all those pop-up notification received from people sharing drives with me, sometimes I don't get a changes to read these or dismiss them by mistake without looking. Could I suggest a copy of all communications that are sent and received by Waze are saved to your…

The use of HUB mobile navigator bracket is great for safe driving.
To the Waze creator/s,
It would be nice to have such a great navigator like Waze to install an invert screen of the map and data so we can use with HUB mobile navigation bracket. There are others who offer the invert screen to reflect the Hub but they are unreliable. Waze is the best and we users should have those features so we don't have to use any other navigator. Now I'm force to use Navmii but I really want Waze to guide me. :(
Is there any chance this will become a reality with Waze?Your faithful user,…

A “go for a drive” feature
A feature that gives you somewhere to go when you just want to go for a drive. Although I like driving anywhere, sometimes it would be nice to have a set route to explore. Directions would be through roads with the least traffic and the most scenic or enjoyable to drive on. Users would be able to set the drive length in time or kilometres. Maybe include a community section for user contributions of interesting roads. There should also be a variety so the user would not get bored of going the same place every time. something like calimoto

Toll roads
When entering in a destination, please put the toll roads option there instead of in the settings. I am a driver in New York City. All day long, I would need to go into settings and check/uncheck toll roads. When I drive a passenger, of course, all the toll roads are taken, but when returning, I avoid as much as possible. Please change the tolls feature to somewhere when entering in the destination. Thank you
106 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted.

Toads on roads
In the spring – March, April – when driving along ponds, lakes or rivers, toads migration is observed on the roads. To reduce the death of these amphibians, Nature Conservation Agency is organizing the “MISSION TOAD” or "TOADS on ROADS" campaign in Latvia. It is known that WAZE could inform other drivers about animals on the road some time ago. But currently it is not possible to report it. Could this function be returned? It would be a great contribution to the preservation of natural values.

New state notification
I would love to get a notification when entering a new state while driving, such as "welcome to New York," I find it helpful when navigating to know when I have reached a new state

Prefer main roads
Please install main roads button, so in cities I take main roads instead of all those side roads just to save a minute but burn way more petroleum and drive zip zag. So if the roads will be similar time waze would preafare main roads, if time would be different fore 5 minutes and more it would take side roads. This would help especially on long journies, we're I can not zoom in every little city all the time.

Drive time inaccurate (too long)
Hi! I’ve been using waze for many years primarily in Los Angeles. It’s always been relatively accurate at predicting drive time. However lately the drive time I’m getting is significantly longer than it actually takes and it’s often routing me out of my way to the freeway to save time when, in actuality, the more direct through town route is faster. I’ve been comparing it against Google Maps and Apple Maps, both of which have been much more accurate. So question is… what changed? As a long time Waze user, I like the app and don’t want to have to…

Show more navigation instructions when losing GPS signal
It would be nice if the client could show more than the next turn (on the screen) when driving by navigation and the GPS signal is lost.
The next turn is shown in green on the bottom left corner, and the 3 following driving instructions could show up in orange above this when GPS signal is lost.
If there is a speed cam between two of the next turns, is should also show up in this "navigation list".

I would like Waze to show me the recommended speed to avoid multiple stops while in slow moving traffic jam
Especially when driving regular gear cars, you prefer to drive slowly but steady, rather than stopping and accelerating consistently. This is also favorable in fuel consumption manners. In the long run, if a lot of users will obey this feature it could consequently help to promote the traffic congestion by preventing multiple stops, and improve the traffic flow.

Children's game based on the new locations encountered during a drive
A game aimed at children that links the driving experience to the area being driven through. So, for example, I spy puzzles based on nearby landmarks (eg I spy, spelling the name of the neighborhood). Raises children's awareness of the world around us, much like pokemon got people exploring their local neighborhoods on foot. Puzzle ideas can be provided by other wazers/children.

INCLUDE KAMIKAZE´S ALERT IN WAZE
LIVES COULD BE SAVED BY INCLUDING A QUICK ACCESS KAMIKAZE (vehicle driving in the wrong direction) ALERT ON WAZE. KAMIKAZES IS ONE, IF NOT THE DEADLIEST DANGERS THAT YOU CAN ENCOUNTER ON A ROAD AND WAZE DO NOT HAVE THIS ALERT. I THINK IT SHOULD INCLUDE IT ASAP

enable search whilst driving
Hi
Waze no longer enables you to effectively and safely search for a location. So let's imagine I want to go to Audi in Mosman [Australia]...
- I use Vocie command. BUT it is not repeated back to you or you cannot see where it has selected. In this instance it navigates me to Aldi not Audi...****
Just try "Take me to the moon" and it will start to navigate but who knows where to.
So let's go old school and type it in...
- You are not allowed whilst driving, even if it is the passenger entering the info.
a) So…

Modify Waze CarPlay
Waze in CarPlay does not correctly visualize the routes to choose them, it does not correctly show the distance, nor does it show the costs of tolls or highways, that information should be available on the CarPlay screen, since according to current laws you cannot take your cell phone while driving.

Be able to dismiss the traffic alert when traffic is gone
It happens often to drive through roads where traffic alerts have been reported but gone at the time of driving there. It would be useful to be able to dismiss the traffic reports

TTS read local names in local langues while keep driving instruction in my pre-set language.
TTS read local names in local languagues while keep driving instructions in my pre-set language. I would like to get driving instructions in my TTS language and names of the cities, streets and points of interest in my language wherever they exist or local language with correct local pronnounciation. There is no use to read e.g. French street names with German TTS pronunciation - this is really scary.

Apple CarPlay shortcut for reporting a hazard
To report a hazard (ie pothole) requires 4 clicks. Would be great if there was a few one click shortcuts to report the most common hazards such as a pothole, police, and vehicle stopped on side of road. This would be much safer than fumbling around to report a pothole while driving.
