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.

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.

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I meet way too many “out of date" hazards, so this is my suggestion.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…

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 -
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

Parking spaces available in car parks in real time
Several cities around the world have a real-time feed of available spaces in their parking lots.
It would be really relevant to be able to have it in Waze so that we can be guided directly to the city center or bus/tram hub. Currently Waze allows you to get around perfectly, but concretely, once you arrive in town, it does not help you to park, so the purpose is not achieved in a certain way. It’s also a matter of sustainability. Waze should help for less time and gaz wasted.
Morover many cities with real time feed have digital screen…20 votes -
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.

Modo paisagem ficou pessimo
Depois da nova atualização ficou horrivel pra quem utiliza o celular no modo paisagem. As opções: para onde, meu waze e carpool impossibilitam a visualização do mapa. O mapa ficou minusculo com esses atalhos fixos na tela, impossibilitando uma boa navegação. Terei que usar o google maps novamente.

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.

Instant directions
An option to just go for the first results on search without any confirmation. As instantaneous as its machinely possible.
I just love the experience of telling "ok google, take me to XYZ place" and get directoins within 3 seconds. This is what it should feel like driving in 2017.

Audio ducking (lowering volume)
Could we kindly request the option to disable audio ducking, similar to other maps? I would prefer to manage the volume myself and not have music or audio automatically muted. This happens when both audio for Waze and music/audio books are played from the car speakers. I do not have the same issue with Google Maps.
Thank you for considering this request.

Enable full control in the app using voice only
Add an option to interact with the app using voice control
for instance :
reporting an obstacle on the road using Siri/Google assistant,
rerouting to a new destination while driving,
share your location using a voice command.
All these options should prevent the user from touching the phone while driving and decrease distractions.
The convenience of using the app while talking only will increase the amount of users reporting , and interacting with the many options given in the app.
This will lead to more credible information to be provided for the users.12 votes
