Launch Waze automatically when driving
It's rather annoying for me having to remember to launch the Waze app every time I start driving somewhere. Would it be possible for the app to detect that you are driving and launch automatically? Preferably with as little battery drain as possible.

Allow people to upload their own Waze profile picture (like their car) to get easily identified while driving...
Hi people. Please forgive me for my average English, I'm a French Waze user...
At the moment, the only way to display a picture when clicking on a Wazer is to link your Facebook account with your Waze client.
I guess that a lot of people (like me) don't want to link their Facebook profile with the Waze client or they don't own one.
My idea => Create a function on the Waze client to allow people to upload their own pictures.
The goal => When a Wazer is in the vicinity of your location, you can click on it…

Add the possiblility to use a bluetooth handsfree device
In most of cars there is a telephone hands-free Bluetooth system integrated with the car audio system; it would be great to have the voice message from waze client to go to the Audio system via Bluetooth connection.

Color/Icon for landmarks
It would be great to make different colors for different classes of landmark. Or to use scale-independent icons for (for example) gas stations.
I cannot visually separate the supermarket and it's parking.

New instructions for crossroad junctions/interchange
In the UK, there has been an ongoing debate on the most effective way to map crossroad junctions where drivers have to cross a main road without priority, as shown in this image:
https://imgur.com/bpKJi9RThe default instructions do not include guidance for routes that go straight, leading to URs for missing instructions even when no turns are required. As there's no instruction, the driver may not realise they have to give way/stop, leading to a potential accident.
If we were to add a "Continue" instruction, it may imply priority, which is not the case, and again, this may lead to…

F1 (Formula 1) Collaboration
Would love to see a collaboration with F1 (Formula 1). Since Google already sponsors the McLaren F1 team, it seems like an obvious match. McLaren livery on a F1 vehicle icon and Lando Norris providing voice navigation.
Ideally, all F1 teams would be represented. All teams liveries for vehicle icons and other drivers (or commentator David Croft) for voice navigation would be great!

Add Rest Areas to Categories
Show rest areas and allow users set notifications for distances between rest areas or services (fuel, restrooms, food.) Driver fatigue is a significant contributor to vehicle accidents and some highways have few services or rest areas.

Psych2go is a mental health community that has close to 9 million followers on YouTube. Amanda Silvera is one of the most favored and popular voice on this channel.

Time Zones for Planning a Drive
You would think that when you plan a drive and you have to enter the arrival time of your choice that it would take into account different time zones. So if I want to arrive to my destination at 5:45 PM, clearly I mean that time zone. Waze keeps it in the same time zone and unless you are paying super close attention, it’s easy to miss and then you lose an hour because you leave too late if you are going from Central to Eastern and so on and so forth. I’d change that ASAP because it’s a pretty…

Custom vehicle
All want different vehicles, is it possible to either take picture of your vehicle or find on net and upload to waze. Then have waze turn it into your vehicle icon vs. The few you have like batman joker etc..
It would make this alot more personal, vs just adding vehicle in setting, which I belive is new.

Pouvoir passer à différents modes voiture, vélo, caravane ou encore piéton.
Pouvoir passer à différents modes voiture, vélo, caravane ou encore piéton. Mon vieux Gps Mio le faisait... c'était pratique. Le mode taxi ne concerne qui dans l'état actuel ? Un mode caravane aiderait aussi bien les conducteurs avec une caravane ou les Camping-cars en permettant d'avoir des axes principaux, ce pour éviter la déconvenue de petites routes de campagne, pas toujours aisées pour circuler avec les attelages et je dirai même bien souvent un calvaire.

Ability to users create their own "areas to avoid" / Possibilidade de usuários criarem suas próprias "áreas a evitar"
(*descrição em português mais abaixo)
Users should be able to set a perimeter by themselves to avoid some areas by personal interest or not - only in their apps and smartphones.
Why? Some areas should be avoided if you don't want to pass by there for any personal reason.
Its not about to create a "general exclusion area " but only users can add, edit and delete their own restrictions.Usuários deveriam ter a opção de criar suas próprias "zonas a evitar" em seus celulares e apos.
E porquê? Porque você seria desviado de uma zona que não quer passar,…31 votes -
Pause audiobooks during Waze alerts
I listen to a lot of audiobooks (via Overdrive app) while using Waze to navigate, when I get a Waze alert or prompt though Waze will talk over the audiobook rather than pause/resume it. It's very annoying and I often miss what the narrator is saying and have to back it up. I wish the audiobook could be paused while the Waze alert is given and then pick right back up again afterwards.

Tell us WHY Waze can't find a route
Today I was in Virginia and starting a drive to Northampton, MA. Waze told me that it couldn't find a route. In fact, it couldn't find a route to Boston, or New Haven, or anywhere else north of NY, NY. (It can find a route to NY, NY). I'd like to know why. I tried multiple phones.
When things like this happens, Waze should say WHY it can't find a route.

Quick Route Refresh Button
I'd like to see a quick route refresh button on the primary map screen during navigation that I can tap once to force the current route to refresh. I'm often in the midst of a route that I can see is starting to become a bad idea, but the Waze app isn't adjusting for the oncoming traffic issues. If I go in and choose navigate and refresh the route it will often give me an updated route. It would be great if I can accomplish this with a quick route refresh button right there on the map screen.

Route Preview Option
You select a route, then press the "Route Preview" button. Map view will then zoom to your current location and travel down the selected route as if you were driving. The map pans down the route so that you can see all the things you will be dealing with along the way without having to scroll around the map with your finger. Adding a "preview speed (1x, 2x, 3x, etc)" and a "pause preview" option would be a great addition to this.

add friend by username
I would like to add friends by their waze username. As a long time adapter of waze, I always found it odd that I couldn't add friends by username. WIth social media being so open, there are still users who feel waze does not need to know their phone number and shares the drive just fine through email and text messages. It is unfair to only allow people to connect by giving up personal information or using social media. A person's location is private information and should be allowed a more private way to share it if needed.
