report route change due to traffic
It happens a lot that the route is taking me to a heavy traffic road. I turn to avoid it, but can't report it. It would be great to have a pop-up when avoiding the suggested route to ask if it's due to traffic

Are you in traffic?
When the system asks if you are in traffic?? you can answer yes or no. For the amount of times that you have stopped for a coffee or gas and there is no traffic...instead of the system assuming you are and then saying that "First street" is at a standstill...make the automatic answer no, then if we are we can answer yes. I think this will reduce the fake high traffic areas people complain about

Add a grid on the background instead of the uniform grey colour.
This would increase the "sensation" of perspective and, if the grid is at fixed size (example 100x100 meters) would also help in understanding how much space there's before next turn/crossroad/stop....

Resolve GPRS/EDGE connectivity issue
Wifi works great, but when I am on road or trying to connect via GPRS, Waze rarely connects. On the web and on the Waze forums itself this issues is litterred numerous times, with various people discovering different ways which made it work for them. None of them, unfortunately worked for me. This means that on road, I have no Waze connectivity for updates. Bad. This should be a critical issue to be put on top priority.

Remember Events filter
I would like the client to remember the setting I select for filtering Events. "Around Me", "On Route" and "My Groups" are great filters, but when I return to the map/driving view, I want my Events count at the top to be filtered and when I tap on it/select it, I want my Events report list to still be filtered by the same criteria.

Road trip mode: track progress since activation, share milestones
For longer, multi-stage trips, a more robust kind of logging might be useful. This "road trip" mode would keep track of the distance traveled since activation, and post a message on Twitter, Facebook, etc. when a milestone has been passed (e.g., passing a predetermined amount of miles or crossing a state/provincial/national boundary).

Add a detailed preview for roundabouts
I saw this feature in some map app online, so when heading to a roundabout, just like what waze does, a popup will show on the top of the screen and showing a simple symbol to tell which exit we should take. What about having a detailed preview showing a birdseye view on the roundabout and showing the exact route i.e. what lane and exit show take instead of simple symbol and exit name?

improve multi-stop navigation. And have drag and drop them into any order and calculation of best routes for jobs
I would like Waze to improve multi-stop navigation. It would be helpful to add multiple stops, drag and drop them into any order, and see the total travel time and estimated arrival time for the entire trip.
I would also like an optional “Work Mode” that automatically optimizes the order of stops to create the fastest route. When Work Mode is turned off, Waze should keep the stops in the order entered by the user. When Work Mode is turned on, Waze should calculate the best order automatically.
This would make Waze much more useful for everyday errands, deliveries, work routes, and road trips.

Allow multiple custom voice recordings per command (randomized playback)
Please allow users to upload or record multiple audio variants for each command, and let Waze randomly choose one during navigation.
This would make custom voices far more natural, fun, and less predictable.
Even a simple “playlist” of recordings per command would greatly improve the feature.Thank you for considering this enhancement.

Stop limit for 1 intermediate stop (waypoints)
More than "one stop" limit on the route. At the moment you can set only 1 stop on my route.
I like to use waze for motorcycle trips, often a loop, staring at home, finishing at home.
Also if you have a route reset and you want to add a petrol station, it doesn't let you.
Allow more waypoint options. Much more than 13 votes -
Reduce Distance in which School Zones are Merged
Currently, two school zones with 500 m (1640 feet, or about 0.31 miles) will be merged. This can lead to the driver being told they are within a school zone for over 0.5 miles, when they are not. The criterion for merging should be a shorter distance, with no merging if the zones have different speed limits.

Fire Truck Icon
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest the addition of an official fire truck and emergency vehicle icon/mood within the Waze application.
This feature could be very useful for firefighters, rescue teams, and emergency response personnel, allowing better visual representation within the Waze community.
Beyond the visual aspect, this implementation could also strengthen engagement from emergency service users and support road safety awareness initiatives.
Suggested vehicle icons could include:
- Fire engine
- Ambulance
- Rescue vehicle
- Rapid response unit
These icons could also be released during safety campaigns, emergency preparedness events, or special community activities.
Thank you for considering this suggestion and for the continuous improvement of the platform.
Best regards.

Altitude
It would be very useful to add altitude information to the navigation display, similar to how speed and estimated arrival time are currently shown.
This feature could help drivers traveling through mountainous areas, scenic routes, and rural roads, as well as users who enjoy tracking geographic data in real time.
The altitude display could be optional in the app settings, allowing users to customize the interface according to their preferences.
Thank you for the excellent app and for the continuous improvements!

התראת שוטר סמוי בתנועה
התראת שוטר סמוי בתנועה- דיווח על שוטר סמוי בתנועה.
- ההתראה נשארת פעילה בטווח של כ־200 מטר מהמיקום החי של הנהג המדווח.
- כל עוד הנהג המדווח ממשיך בנסיעה, ההתראה מתעדכנת בזמן אמת ונעה איתו.
נהגים בסביבה יקבלו התראה לפי המיקום שלהם:
- נהגים שנמצאים מאחורי הרכב המדווח: “שוטר סמוי לפניך בטווח של 200 מטר.”
- נהגים שנמצאים לפני הרכב המדווח: “שוטר סמוי מאחוריך בטווח של 200 מטר.”
אימות קהילתי:
- נהגים בסביבה יכולים ללחוץ “ראיתי” כדי לאשר את הדיווח.
- ברגע שנהג מאשר, ההתראה הנעה מופעלת גם אצלו וממשיכה להתעדכן לנהגים שנמצאים בטווח של 200 מטר ממנו.
- דיווחים שאושרו נשארים פעילים לזמן מוגבל.
- דיווחים שלא אושרו נעלמים אוטומטית לאחר זמן קצר

Info Box and button placement: bottom / top / left / right
Currently, all info and buttons show up at the bottom of the screen.
But I placed the iPhone in the car, where I cannot see this bottom area. It would be nice if there were an option to place this info and the buttons on other parts of the screen where they are more visible (and reachable) for me.

Suggestions to Improve Waze User Experience
Dear Waze Team,
My name is Fabio Martinez Coello, and I am a Colombian user who relies on your application on a daily basis. I would like to thank you for the great service you provide, which has become an essential tool for navigation.
Based on my daily experience, I would like to share some suggestions that could help improve the application and make it even more user-friendly:
1. Always display the programmed destination address:
It would be very helpful if the selected destination address remains constantly visible. Sometimes, due to typing errors or accidental input, an incorrect address is entered. Having the address always visible would allow users to quickly verify and correct it before reaching an unintended destination.
2. Avoid mixing languages in the interface:
When the application is set to English, some terms still appear in Spanish (such as “calzada,” “calle,” “sur,” “norte,” “oriente,” “occidente”). For a better user experience, the app should maintain consistency and avoid mixing languages.
3. Allow multiple stops in a route:
Currently, it is not possible to program multiple stops efficiently. It would be very useful to allow users to add several stops (ideally up to 10) within a single route.
4. Different colors for route segments:
When multiple stops are added, it would help to display the first segment in the current blue color and the remaining segments in different colors. This would reduce confusion and improve route visualization.
5. Ability to review each programmed stop:
Users should be able to click on any programmed stop and verify its exact address. This would help ensure that all destinations are correct before and during the trip.
I hope these suggestions are helpful and can be considered in future updates. Thank you for your continuous efforts to improve the application.
Kind regards,

Alternativní trasy/ Display distance difference for alternative routes
Poprosím u alternativních tras kromě času zobrazovat i kilometry:
Prakticky by stačila informace +4 min (barvou červenou) a -12 km (barvou zelenou).
jedná se o jasnou a rychlou informací. Jasná informace - pojedu déle, ale kratší trasou než je ta svájící navolená.
moc by mi to pomohlo. Děkuji LiHPlease display the distance difference alongside the time for alternative routes.
A simple indicator like "+4 min" (red) and "-12 km" (green) would provide instant clarity. It would allow drivers to quickly see if an alternative route is longer in time but shorter in distance compared to the current one. This would be a very helpful feature for better decision-making.
Thank you, LiH
