Add notes to each leg of a journey (drive)
When I arrive at my destination, Waze prompts me to add additional data to the drive. e.g. a category of "Business" or "Personal", comments such as "Meeting with Joe Bloggs". By combining with https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=819&t=223951&start=0 Waze becomes a great journey logger for expense claims

Add Soundcloud as one of the music player options to make a navigation voice and music pause a seamless driving experience
It would be nice if Soundcloud was added to the music player list. There's so many other options on there but that's only only one that's missing that commonly used. It would be nice if it was added so the music music can pause and resume or lower for navigation directions.

Stop routing traffic down quiet residential streets
Your app has a very narrow focus. It doesn't take the actual street or the people that live on it into consideration. I have lived on a very quiet residential street until your app has increased in popularity. Thanks to your app, our street is now like a mini-highway and two neighbor pets have recently been killed. Additionally, your ignorant app doesn't take into consideration that it is directing traffic to take a very dangerous left turn onto Briarcliff Road. The results have been numerous accidents. Please take Stephens Drive, 30329 off your cut throughs at once.

Report Button/Police Reporting
When I report something the Report button on the bottom right turns to hearts for a second showing 5 points or whatever for reporting but the issue is that I can't quickly report another until that goes away which is particularly annoying when I'm trying to report police in the median who can knab both sides. What I use to do is file my side Police→Hidden/Visible in 2 secs then I'd quickly hit report again and hit Police→Other Side so that the two reports weren't too far off from each other on the map. So getting rid of the hearts…

Better ETA calculations.
For some reason the ETA predictions by WAZE are way off. One example was at the start of my trip it predicted I would arrive around 10:30pm (this was at 8:30am). This figure remained constant until I was 2/3rds of the way there, when it got a little more accurate, but still 4 hours off. I actually arrived at 2:30pm.

What about allowing the users to REALLY contact you? I have a problem and the "Help page" does not help at all.

Put app in Tesla S
Partner with Tesla to have Waze added (or replace Google Maps). I have a Tesla S and the customized Google maps that comes with the car is often VERY wrong about directions and traffic. I end up using Waze on my phone to find the best alternative routes. Give Elon Musk a call!

Recurring Weekly Planned Drive
Have the ability set a planned drive to repeat every day, weekly. With a starting date and til a set date or never to expire.
I go to work every morning at the same time, to the same place and there is a bunch of traffic: is a pain to have to set up this great feature every week225 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

.
When reporting map errors during navigation the app needs to capture location and at least the immediate directions you were following. Since this is most often (realistically) done by the driver, and most often when driving, when a bad direction or map error is encountered and the driver deviates from the previous directions and presses the "report map error" button (which ideally would be a single button press on the map), the app should be able to recognize where the driver deviated, how they deviated, and automatically fill in the error details based on what was originally asked…

Restore and add more alert choices and sub-choices - make the last more visible
Hello, Waze. For unknown reason to us, your users, you are lowering the variety of the alerts that could be reported and/or their sub-options. The most striking example is the police reporting option where it is not possible to report a police from the other side. Please restore it. Please, add the following reports:
1) stationary speed camera
1.1) please add a detail about the direction the already added stationary speed cameras are pointing at - towards the incoming cars or at the same direction of the road lane group. Also add this as an option for the ones that…2 votes -
make alerts omnidirectional
Alert users to incidents on both sides of the road when there is no divider on the road. On two lane highways voice alerts for police and accidents are directional. Meaning it only alerts you to reports that were made in the direction you are traveling. It should alert you to all reports on the road regardless of which direction you’re heading. Helpful for police and accidents when they could affect both lanes.

The directional notification display is too big. Make it smaller 1 line at the top of the screen.

add option to disable traffic based routing
When routing, waze often attempts to route around traffic. Waze is used occasionally for just the first part of a journey (navigating a downtown area, for example) and I find it selecting a completely different route every time I use it because it attempts to route around the traffic at work.
Another example is that during extremely heavy traffic in a snowstorm, waze had me exiting at every freeway exit and then entering the freeway again, simply because the freeway exits had little traffic on them compared to the freeway itself.
Because of this, there should be a simpler routing…

Make car icon customizable
Make the little car icon on the screen while I'm navigating customizable. I'd like to be able to make it look like my car...starting with my car's color. You could have a small number of car types (truck, van, sedan, sports car), or a more elaborate library of make/model/year (I vote for 2010 Chevy Camaro!)

Instead of during phone call mute yes/no, offer more options: no muting, mute notifications, shortened directions, audible signal, mute all
Instead of during phone call mute yes/no, offer more options:
* no muting
* mute notifications (but offer normal driving directions)
* shorten directions (no TTS, no and then...)
* audible signal only (ring light bell when maneuver is upcoming and stronger bell when maneuver must be made)
* mute allThis will allow the driver to choose to get some form of navigation during phone calls, but which is still less intrusive to the phone call than usual.
