Fix “add a stop”
This isn’t a new idea, just a quality of life update that needs to happen. Please fix the add a stop search feature that will not just look for any option fitting the search description but the closest on the route and display or notify how much time is added to the trip. If I am in a new area and I am looking for a particular food stop or something, say srarbucks for this example, every stratbucks in the usa comes up in the search but they aren’t sorted by the closest on the route but rather anything any…

Routing time makes Add a Stop suggestions bigger
When I route to a location then try to route to a restaurant, the suggestion boxes will be smaller, but the route time is added a couple of seconds later and it changes the size of the box. Can we have a fixed box or add the text somewhere where it will not change the size of the box?

Auto-off when I'm done
I always manually turn Waze off when I'm done navigating to conserve battery. If I forget, Waze eats my battery long after I'm done with it. Be a good iPhone app and stop using my GPS after I've stopped navigation and closed the app.

Repetitive Alerts Should be Summarized
Recently, I was using Waze on Northbound I-280 in the San Francisco Bay Area. The traffic was pretty bad. Waze is pretty popular around here and folks were reporting the bad traffic. So much so in fact that you could barely see the map. It seems to me that if you have more than two or three people basically reporting the same thing (in this case stopped traffic) you can simply summarize and say "multiple bad traffic reports" or some such. The current extremely cluttered screen is basically useless.
In this case, I was using an iPhone, but I think…

Fix Nav/Add a stop -
When I add a stop (iPhone 4s) The navigation usually gets "stuck" in "proceed to the highlighted route" and updates sporadically, if at all. The car icon tracks properly on the map, but the text is frozen. This happens most of the time I use "Add a stop".

Stop telling me where not to turn
In a recent update someone added the asinine feature that tells me where I should not turn as I cross every intersection, in 100 m don't turn just go straight you dumb idiot.. I don't get it my great aunt used to tell me the name of any every intersection I would cross when she tried to explain how to get somewhere instead of just telling me to drive straight up a particular road! It's asinine it's extraneous it's not helpful and it's annoying! There's no way to turn off this stupid feature and I'm stuck having ways tell me…

Stop recommending Residential Streets
We have had 2 hit n runs in this last week (borderline totaled if not). These drivers do not live on our street. They use our residential street as a cut through.
Please stop recommending our Residential street!

report more stopped cars
On m5 and M4 today there were lots of stopped cars, including some on the main highway. The system decided I had made too many reports and sent a stroppy message. I am the passenger in the car and it seems daft I could no longer report hazards for others

Interface - needs to revert to 3.x
The new interface looks childish and is unusable in landscape mode. The next instruction box at the top is too big. The notifications are horribly big, and the ones that show when you stop at a traffic light are worse, with the black background.
The map looks drawn by a 4 years old in crayon, seems to lack a lot of the information it had on v3.x., the map lines are too wide.
Having functions that only show when you tap the screen is very bad in usability terms.
To top all that, the interface is so heavy that it…6 votes -

Tambahkan lebih dari satu Add Stop
Adakan peningkatan opsi untuk menambahkan stop/tempat tujuan lebih dari satu. Sementara ini Waze hanya punya 1 “add stop”; apabila tambahan stop bisa lebih dari satu sangat memudahkan wazer membuat perencanaan perjalanan dari awal sampai akhir tujuan dengan baik, hemat waktu dan biaya. Pertimbangkan tambahan setiap stop ini bisa diedit sesuai kebutuhan.

When a second destination is entered, have the option to keep the first destination as a stop
When a second destination is entered, have the option to keep the first destination as a stop. Currently if we set the second destination as new final destination the first destination is removed.

Display unique symbols for hazards reported on the road
At the moment, you have to click on the Hazard symbol to actually know what the hazard is. And as people alway report vehicles stopped on the hard shoulder as being a hazard, its hard to know what action to take when driving unless you know what the hazard ahead is. It is also dangerous to have to click on the small hazard symbol whilst driving. So why not have different symbols for different hazards? These symbols would be displayed on the map, preventing the need to have to click on the hazard symbol in order to know what the…

Could we have a pause navigation feature
Could we have a pause feature, so your phone isn't telling everyone in the petrol station to turn left! You have to close the app and restart navigation if you need to stop somewhere, very annoying

Popup messages for multiple road reports
On the way home tonight, Waze alerted me to several road problems ahead (police, stopped vehicles, etc.). The reports were in such close succession (less than a mile apart) that the popup message for the first report was still on screen when the popup message for the second report appeared. Unfortunately, the second popup was on top so I could no longer see any information about the first report. When displaying multiple popup messages simultaneously, Waze should layer them such that the hazard in closest proximity to you is on top, followed by the next closest, and so on. This…
