Add stop along route
It would be nice to be able to use Google Assistant hands free to ask Waze to find a stop along your route like Google Maps does. Right now, if you ask it to find something while you're on a trip, it will just do a generic search that may have results in the opposite direction. On Google Maps, it gives you a list truly along your route and tells you how many minutes it will add to your overall trip. That would be lovely on Waze, please.

Purchase Car icons
I think Google/Waze is missing an opportunity to cross market and build more revenue. Waze should offer users to purchase (0.99) themed car icons, i.e., Jeep Wrangler, Star Wars, Batman, etc. There are endless options for cross marketing and revenue here...

Banner At Top of Screen
It would be nice to have a banner at the top of the screen to make getting back to the Waze app easier. Google Maps does this.

Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Waze as default navigation app in iOS.
I find that Waze is better much better, and more reliable, than either Google or Apple maps. It would be nice if there was a way to set it as the default navigation app on my iPhone.

EV charging stations that are mapped on GM should display charging details on Waze
At present, Waze doesn’t display critical EV charging information like charger type and power output for Google locations. Even when linking a Waze location to a Google location, these details aren’t automatically imported, as they are with opening hours. To provide accurate EV information on Waze, users are forced to manually input all relevant details for each charging station.

Description is entitled. iOS, Apple CarPlay, Ford expedition sync 3. The black bar is taking up screen real estate when an address is not entered. The black bar should then slide back down when the screen is tapped.

Add stops
Before, it was possible to add multiple stops on Waze, and this is important for me since I work with deliveries. However, after the latest updates, it's only possible to add a single stop. On top of that, instructions like "turn right," "turn left," and "roundabout" are no longer being spoken, which makes using Waze impractical and forces me to rely on Google Maps. Please bring back the feature to add multiple stops because, even on the slowest day, I have seven consecutive deliveries to complete. I live in Brazil, where security is terrible if not nonexistent and having to…

Hazard Acknowledgement
Hazard Acknowledgement:
I meet way too many “out of date" hazards, so this is my suggestion.
On Waze, when a driver is approaching a hazard, a dialog box should appear. In the dialog box it should read: “Hazard still here?” The driver should then have the option to press a “Yes” button or a “No” button.
There should also be a timing and a colour code system. i.e. If the “Yes” button is pressed the clock will reset to zero, the hazard icon will stay/change to red. Other drivers can then click the hazard icon and see that this hazard…

Would you fix the problem of no voice directions on iPhones please.
Something must have happened recently to delete the voice/sound on my iPhone8 Plus. No voice directions for maybe 2 weeks. Please fix this.

Zoom
I would like the option to zoom in and it will hold that position on the map. When I zoom in using the plus and minus signs the map will not stay where is zoomed in and after a minute or so waze will zoom right back out. I don’t always want waze to zoom so far out. There are important streets, places of interest, etc. that will not appear on the map when the map is zoomed so many miles of radius on the map. Thank you.

Show Waze result when searching full road name
Currently if you search the full road suffix instead of the abbreviated one (e.g. Street instead of St, or Road instead of Rd) it will only show Google results and not Waze ones since the roads names are abbreviated when mapped. This can lead to the Wazer not finding roads if they are not mapped in Google Maps or being routed poorly.
Waze should instead recognise the full name of an abbreviated name and continue to show Waze results.

Bring back the talk to Waze for both users IOS and Android. It used to before google bought Waze.
Being able to say “Okay Waze and tell Waze your direction / address now it only works for Android users not IOS users. IOS users have to press a microphone button to talk to Waze which eliminates the Whole point of being hands free.

Signalement par la voie
Bonjour,
Je pense a quelque chose pour simplifier les signalement sans touché au smartphone et garder les 2 mains sur le volant, faire un peu comme le système "Ok Google" ou bien "Dis Siri". Pouvoir dire par exemple "Signalement Waze" et après "Accident grave sur la route" et qu'il ajoute le signalement "Accident Grave".6 votes -
I am missing business options
on the locations I am able to add places like Fitness Gyms, car dealers, etc. to it.
But there is no option yet for health businesses like doctors, pyhsicians, chiropractors, dentists, etc.
In Google Map you can find businesses there, this feature is missing in Waze. This would be a great PLUS for Waze vs. other map or navigation applications.

Annuler la signalisation d'un trafic de circulation erroné ou plus actuel
On peut signaler un trafic ralenti voir à l'arrêt mais l'inverse devrait pouvoir être fait aussi c'est a dire que lorsque l'inverse arrive qu'un endroit signalé avec un trafic ralenti et que l'on se rend compte que finalement c'est fluide on devrait pouvoir annulé la mauvaise information, ainsi prévenir les futurs usager qui reprendront cette route, et surtout mentionner à l'algorithme que la route et dorénavant fluide, ce qui permettra à l'algorithme d'indiquer maintenant que l'on peut emprunter cet itinéraire.

use Android API for event buttons and text input
to report traffic/event irrelevancy it is darn hard to hit that tiny round button with a caret (>) at the end of the event item. instead I should be able to use a long press on a much broader list item to pop up the menu. also, the menu that pops up ought to be from the API. it would create bigger buttons (better for touch sensitive devices) and makes for a much more consistent device use experience plus it would make it more accessible while driving. More accessible means less accidents.
also text input. there seems to be no…

Restroom Search
Please add feature to search for closest restrooms on route - rest areas, public restrooms at gas stations and restaurants. Waze admin responses to other bathroom feedback states users can search for “restroom” or “toilets”, but this feature does not work. Waze directed me to a rest area 20 miles away. Gas station search sent me to 4 San Diego area gas stations, 1 closed and 3 with no public restrooms. The closest restaurant required a minimum purchase for the restroom door code.
