Ability to Create a Custom Route on Waze
I’d like to suggest a feature that allows users to create a custom route — not just by choosing from preset options, but by selecting specific roads or waypoints to shape the path they want to follow.
For example, I often travel between two cities, and while Waze suggests two or three routes, none of them match the one I actually prefer — an alternative road with a divided highway that takes the same amount of time but offers a much better driving experience.

Allow users to post information about road closures and hazards in their area, whether driving on the route or not.
I would like to be able to reject one of the suggested routes, if I know that the road is closed, for instance, and have Waze offer another suggestion.
I would also like to be able to suggest an alternate route by entering a road or tapping the map, and have Waze give me the ETA and traffic information along that route.2 votes -
Is it possible to make waze to where you can put in multiple addresses and it will create the best /fastest route to 3 or 4 addresses?
Is it possible to make waze to where you can put in multiple addresses and it will create the best /fastest route to 3 or 4 addresses? I'm a realtor and have to take my clients from one address to another, it would be easier to be able to put in multiple addresses and have waze create the best route from one to another. Thank you
3 votesThank you for this suggestion.
This idea has been being discussed for a while and recognized as an important user request.
We hear the community’s voice and would like to share that while we can’t currently commit to a timeline, we do have plans to create a way to add more than one stop pre-drive.
We’ll keep the community posted, please stay tuned! -
Save the route for the way back from a location and also to use it other time
Possibility to save the route for the way back home from a location or to use it again other time. Many times waze guides you back on a longer/country lanes route.

Fix the search feature during a route
Please fix the search feature on here. It’s horrible.
Why is it when I search for a specific place on my route. I get one option in the list that is nearby and then 6+ options that are in a different state or several hundred miles away.
And please fix how the search results show up. A list doesn’t help. Please have them shown in a map view.
I would rather see stop signs and stop lights I. The map over train track crossings.

spelling error: "calculating time off route" should be "calculating time of route"
- looks bad and sounds bad even when spelled correctly

Plan a route that DOES NOT go through a specific location
There was this HUGE traffic jam on a specific road due to an accident. Despite that, Waze acted like it is not aware about this, and all of the computed routes went through this specific road. It would be great for Waze to either add a manual option to plan a route avoiding specific place, or to understand from driver's behavior, that he has no intention or option to drive through this place. Instead, for all three available routes, it kept forcing me to turn around and go directly to the traffic jam.

Calculate the best route based on both shorter time and distance. Not just one of them.
I prefer the fastest way, but only when it is reasonable.
I can never trust the option automatically suggested for me and I always find myself checking the routes. In many cases I switch to the second option.
For example:
Option 1: 49 minutes, 58 Km
Option 2: 50 minutes, 47 Km
I would rather spend 2% more time than spend 21% more fuel...Most people would prefer spending another minute in this case. Why do we always have to bother going to the routes to find out.
The user can select his preference for either shortest or…

No need to show the route I have ALREADY travelled, just the part I am going to travel
I got really confused for a bit today when somehow I was looking at where I had ALREADY travelled. There is no need to show the part of the route I already traversed. There is only the need to show where I am going.

Waze should alert the user if traffic or an accident causes it to re-route you, rather than just doing it.
Alerting the user that a better route is available due to an accident or traffic, rather than just re-routing, would leave the user better informed. I eneded up in a 40 min traffic jam due to an accident because Waze tried to divert me off my usual route with no explanation. My old Garmins/TomToms used to do this.

Add option to avoid low bridges based on vehicle height.
Low bridges need to be avoided. Need an option to route based on avoiding low bridges. Vehicle height or minimum bridge height could be used to route.

Add "avoid border crossings" setting, just like avoid toll roads or ferries.
Navigating from New York to Detroit, there's a route that crosses through Canada. I didn't bring my passport and wish to avoid this, but if I manually force another route, I might miss out on traffic-responsive optimizations. It should be possible to avoid border crossings just like any other route preference.

Correct navigation route to Santa Catalina
We always recommend our clients to use Waze for driving from Panama City (Republic of Panama) to Santa Catalina (Sona, Veraguas Province), however, we have recently received 4 reports from customers that waze directed them to drive up the PanAmerican highway to the Province of Chiriqui, and turn left at Guabala, then come back to Sona, then right to Santa Catalina, which takes 2 hours longer than taking a left at Santiago and going directly to Sona, then left to Santa Catalina. We would greatly appreciate it if you could reconfigure waze to direct customers through the shortest route (Santiago…

Differentiate alternative routes from each other by color
If you display alternative routes while actively navigating/driving, they will all be displayed in the same color. It would be helpful to display each route in a different color for easy differentiation.

Optimal route calculation - include price (consumption/persons time)
I notices that fastest route is chosen.
I always watch for alternatives if there is a similar time but shorter version.
Wery ofter is similar time (for example 20minutes faster vis highway, 23 minutes via road), but via high way is 30 km, via normal road is 15km. Difference in consumprion is huge, difference in time is acceptable, even if I calculate the price of my time.If you calculate best way based on "price", optimal way will be better.
Solution: calculate price of people time (for example 10USD for an hour) and 0,1 USD for one kilometer. Best price…
