Searching during navigating with carplay
I think the worst thing about Waze is searching for a stop on your existing route.
You click on gas stations and it comes up with a list. Not helpful while driving. Especially when those are not directly on the route. They could be behind you or far off the actual route.
I use Google maps a lot more for local trips because of this feature. You need to add a stop on the route…whether it’s gas or an address and when you put that in. It shows 5 locations on the actual map so you can physically how far they are on or off the route.
The list isn’t helpful. Please fix!!

Disable automatic Update Request route reporting on higher level roads.
Under certain circumstances, Waze seems to automatically submit automatic reports - but there seem to be too many of them (big time cost for editors that process and respond to URs following up for feedback, generally no response from the "reporter" because they didn't report anything themselves).
This specific request is to disable "Incorrect route", "Incorrect turn" or other similar problems on higher-level divided roads (Motorway, Major Highway, Minor Highway). When we have roadworks, the roads authority will often set up contraflow lanes on the opposing direction's roadway. This seems to produce numerous automated reports that have no value (because it isn't a routing problem, the work doesn't meet the criteria for a closure, and altering the map to show the segments being used as two-way temporarily would be inappropriate).

Emergency Route Mode
"Emergency Route Mode" – a new Waze feature that instantly calculates the fastest route in urgent situations, bypassing all preferences (tolls, traffic, dirt roads, rural routes, highways, etc.). It builds user trust in real time, strengthens brand loyalty, and opens strong monetization channels via smart emergency ads, premium upgrades, and city partnerships.

Roundabout
A few updates back, when editing roundabouts instructions, the forced TTS available for edition when changing to Turn Left or Turn Right changed from "on the roundabout turn left" & "on the roundabout turn right" to "in 50 meters turn left" & "in 50 meters turn right", leaving left off the information "on the roundabout".
Could you consider improving that information for TTS "lovers" or "needers" and add again "on the roundabout" TTS to the string?
Thank you

Scooby Doo Mystery Machine
I'm confident that the Mystery Machine van from the Scooby Doo cartoons would be a very popular car icon, not only with Boomers and Gen X'ers but with every generation!
You could also create a fun Scooby Doo Theme as an available option.3 votes -
HGV and other vehicles
It would be really useful to have vehicle options for the weight and size of your vehicle. I.e HGV as this would really help with knowing a better ETA time me as lorries have to go slower and also plan the route for HGVs over 7.5 ton

Add more stops
Add more stop points as many people have long routes like 1500km and want to stop at many towns.
With Google maps you can plan long trips with many stops.
It makes it difficult to add places the entire time while driving.

Alternate routes options
possibility for drivers to share different routes.
For example.
I work in a high traffic jam / high accident area.
When I bring Waze up.
It only gives me an option for 3 direct routes.
Despite their being back road options or other possibilities.
I would love if there was an option for the driver to submit alternatives.
Or :
choose from other alternatives.3 votes -
Display route with toll and no toll
When navigating to a place, display on the map the route with tolls and the route with no tolls. Having to turn on and off the avoid toll to compare both routes is an extra step that can be eliminated when planning a drive.

Suggestions to Improve Navigation and Safety in Waze
I have a few suggestions to improve Waze: First, please keep the name of the destination visible while driving—sometimes it’s easy to accidentally choose the wrong location. Second, when a speed camera alert appears, it covers the current speed, making it hard to know if I'm speeding—please adjust the layout to keep the speed visible. Third, it would be helpful to have an audible alert when there’s a speed camera or police nearby, so drivers don’t need to keep looking at the screen.

UI Problem: Speed camera\police alert covers the speed limit
I was using Waze in horizontal mode last night - the speed limit and my current speed were displayed near the bottom of the screen in the middle horizontally. I noticed that when alerts such as Police ahead or Speed Camera in x feet were displayed the notification box covers key bits of the screen such as your current speed, the speed limit and your precise location.
I think either the UI needs to shift up when the alerts are displayed, or the alert box needs to be constrained to one side of the screen.
I did take a screen shot but it does not appear to be possible to attach that to this forum.

Feature Suggestion – “Follow a Friend” Mode
I’d love to suggest a new feature that could really help users who are traveling in separate cars to the same destination.
The idea is a “Follow a Friend” mode where one driver can request to follow another through the Waze app. Here’s how it could work:
• You enter your friend’s phone number or select them from your contacts.
• They receive a notification asking if they’d like to share their live location with you.
• If they accept, their vehicle would appear on your Waze map in real time, allowing you to follow them while still navigating your own route.
• The connection would be temporary and fully consent-based, so only people who accept can be followed, protecting everyone’s privacy.This would be super helpful in situations like group outings or road trips where friends or family are trying to stick together but still need directions. I think it could make Waze even more helpful and social.

Proyecto para disminuir el riesgo de accidente vial en ciclistas
Cordial saludo, somos parte de un grupo de investigación académico de la universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia, que trabajamos en un proyecto para disminuir el riesgo de accidentalidad vial en ciclistas, en el proceso hemos desarrollado una aplicación y un dispositivo portable para ciclistas competitivos, el cual obtiene la ubicación en tiempo real y envía a un servidor para luego crear una alerta a los conductores cuando se acercan al ciclista. nuestra propuesta es brindar estos datos para que en el aplicativo de Waze se generen notificaciones o alertas cuando se acerque a un ciclista que se encuentra entrenando en la autopista, con el objetivo de que el conductor este precavido y se disminuya el riesgo de accidentalidad debido a baja visibilidad, alta velocidad o distracción del conductor. Creemos que esta implementación generará un gran impacto social debido a la utilización de Waze como herramienta guia en vehiculos. cualquier duda sobre el proyecto. contacto: rafaelignacio.quintero@uptc.edu.co
