Add stop - total trip time
When adding a stop, it would be great to see the total trip time. Not just the time to the first stop.

Better EV Support
In France, electric cars are now sold more than traditional gas cars.
EV drivers use Waze every day.
However, Waze is still designed mostly for gas vehicles.
Here are simple features to make Waze the best app for EV drivers.Better Route Alternatives for EVs
Current alternative routes show equal travel times. But they ignore distance and battery consumption.
One route might use much more energy.
Waze should calculate and show energy consumption for each alternative route.Vehicle Profile & Smart Charging Stops
Users should be able to select their vehicle brand and exact model.
Waze will know the real energy consumption of the car.
Users should also select their charging subscriptions (like Ionity or Tesla in France).
Waze should then automatically suggest the best charging stops on the route.Initial Battery Level Input
Users need to enter their starting battery level (SOC %).
Waze will adjust charging stops according to the current charge.Destination Charging
Drivers need to plan arrival charging easily.
Waze should show available charging stations near the final destination before starting the trip.Real-Time Battery Impact Factors
Elevation and weather affect EV range a lot.
Waze should adjust estimated consumption based on route elevation changes.Community Charging Reports
EV drivers need real-time station info.
Waze should allow users to report broken, occupied, or blocked chargers easily.

Convoy Mode
Subject: Feature Request: "Convoy Mode" - Real-time Route Sharing for Multiple Cars
Message:
To the Waze Development Team,I am a daily Waze user and a big fan of your navigation system. However, there is a missing feature that would greatly improve the experience for many users: a true "Convoy Mode" or Group Navigation.
Currently, the "Share Drive" feature is lagging, clunky, and doesn't clearly show the route of the other driver. When families or friends travel to the same destination in multiple cars, we need to see each other's live location directly on the highlighted route.
The proposed feature:
A shared session where multiple drivers navigating to the same destination can see each other as distinct icons moving smoothly along the designated route on the map, in real-time, without delay.Google Maps has a better live location sharing, but Waze is superior for navigation and traffic alerts. Adding a "Convoy Mode" would prevent users from having to use other apps just to keep track of each other during group trips.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Reoccuring online check
Waze appears to check for an internet connection only when the app first starts. If no connection is available at that point, it switches to an offline-maps-only mode. However, it does not seem to check again for connectivity while the app remains open.
For example, my car’s Wi‑Fi can take a few minutes to start after the ignition is turned on. If I open Waze before the Wi‑Fi is connected, the app stays offline even once the connection becomes available. To restore online functionality, I currently have to either start and cancel a route or fully close and reopen the app.
Please add periodic or event-based internet connectivity checks while Waze is running in offline mode. The app should automatically return to online operation as soon as a usable connection becomes available, without requiring the user to take manual action.
This would also help drivers who begin a journey in an area with no mobile signal but regain coverage later. At present, they may continue using Waze offline for the entire journey unless they manually trigger a refresh or restart the app.

Network issues
When gps or network can't be found because you parked in a car park or garage. Can the app try and find a gps connection or network connection again ever 30 seconds or a minute for when you have reception again so waze can get updates.
When waze suggests directions to a regular destination. Can the box disappear after 30 seconds or a minute. The box stays indefinately at present and it's annoying to click on each time you start the car after stopping cause waze thinks it knows where you want to go.

Ajout de nouveaux types de véhicules et prise en compte des caractéristiques du véhicule
Je souhaiterais proposer une amélioration de la gestion des véhicules dans Waze.
Il serait intéressant de permettre aux utilisateurs de choisir davantage de types de véhicules, par exemple :
- Camion ;
- Utilitaire ;
- Camping-car ;
- Véhicule avec remorque.
De plus, il serait utile de pouvoir renseigner les caractéristiques du véhicule directement dans l'application :
- Poids total ;
- Hauteur ;
- Largeur ;
- Longueur.
Ces informations pourraient ensuite être utilisées par Waze afin d'adapter les itinéraires et éviter automatiquement les restrictions de circulation, notamment :
- Les passages sous ponts limités en hauteur ;
- Les routes limitées en largeur ;
- Les ponts et routes comportant une limitation de poids ;
- Les interdictions de circulation pour certaines catégories de véhicules.
Enfin, Waze pourrait également adapter les limitations de vitesse affichées selon le type de véhicule renseigné.
Exemple : sur la N20 en direction de Longjumeau, certaines portions sont limitées à 90 km/h pour les voitures mais à 70 km/h pour les véhicules de plus de 3,5 tonnes. Waze pourrait alors afficher la limitation adaptée au véhicule utilisé.
Cette fonctionnalité améliorerait la sécurité et rendrait Waze plus adapté aux conducteurs de camions, camping-cars, utilitaires et autres véhicules spécifiques.

Speed camera visual
I would like to provide feedback regarding the recent changes to speed camera alerts in Waze.
The previous speed camera warning system was much better and easier to see while driving. The blue progress bar provided a clear visual indication that a speed camera was ahead and remained visible as you approached and passed it.
The new circular camera indicator is much less noticeable and is harder to see at a glance. It requires more attention to the screen than the previous design, which defeats the purpose of having a clear and safe warning system.
Please bring back the previous speed camera alert design and allow users to use the original blue progress bar. The old system was more visible, more intuitive, and worked far better while driving.
Thank you for your consideration.

Head up display
Dear Waze Team,
Please add Head-Up Display (HUD) support for Waze navigation in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Many modern vehicles, including the new Toyota RAV4 2026, are equipped with advanced HUD systems that can display navigation instructions directly on the windshield. It would be extremely useful and safer if Waze could show upcoming turns, lane guidance, distance to the next maneuver, and other navigation information on the HUD.
Waze is my preferred navigation app, and HUD integration would greatly improve the driving experience and help drivers keep their eyes on the road.
Thank you for considering this feature

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.

searching for gas stations, restaurants, or parking lots along my active route
Hi Waze Team, I’d like to propose a feature: when searching for gas stations, restaurants, or parking lots along my active route, Waze should first display the ones that are directly on my route and on the same side of the road I'm driving on, leaving the ones off-route for the end of the list. It would be much more practical. The goal is to prioritize places that don't require making detours or U-turns, showing businesses located right on the shoulder/side of the road first, and placing options that involve crossing the avenue or detouring at the bottom of the list.

Custom route
Hello Waze team,
I would love to see an improved custom route planning feature in Waze.
Right now Waze is excellent for traffic and live navigation, but it is difficult to plan scenic or motorcycle routes with multiple waypoints.
Suggested improvements:
* Ability to add many waypoints/stops in one route
* Circular / round-trip route planning
* Option to “lock” selected roads so Waze does not automatically reroute
* Scenic / curvy roads mode for leisure driving and motorcycles
* Easier drag-and-adjust route editing
Many motorcycle riders and weekend drivers would benefit from this.
Thank you!3 votes -
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.

Pothole Buffer
We have some major potholes in our immediate area that is not being repaired. However, I need to re-add these big potholes every second day on the app, Is there a way to prevent the app from removing a pothole the moment the first user selects “Not there” from the app because they see the popup as a nuisance and not to update the hazard status. You need to ideally change it so that three or more users need to say that the particular pothole has been repaired before removing it. The same goes for other reported hazards.
