1. Route Optimizer

   In Waze you enter multiple addresses, then you pick up your start destination.
   Waze resolves your Route with shortest time or kilometers.
   After you finish the first route, if you are in Route Optimizer, and start Waze, Waze automatically picks the next optimized route and so on with the third and next entered destinations. I know there is a planner but when the time is up, the destination is gone from the history.

3. Business Icons Overlapping Navigation Directions

   What if the icons / markers / commercials for the paying customers / businesses would not cover the navigation directions completely? Nor the icons of "Police", "Speed Camera" and other users' reports?

   I'm keeping the audio set on "Alerts only" and we almost missed a road exit completely masked by a LIDL store icon (we were on a suspended intersection somewhere in Slovenia / Croatia, the store was somehow below us and its icon completely covered the navigation direction). Then it happened again with a speed camera, then a police radar had the same faith...

   Luckily, the alerts are also accompanied by an animated circle which is bigger than a potential overlapping icon marking a business but the navigation arrows are not. So maybe you can do something about this, i.e. by adding some kind of transparency to the commercials or by not rendering them at all (or by giving them a smaller size) if they tend to overlap navigation indications or alerts.

   Thank you!

5. Give me the ability to disable music altogether while navigating.

   I've never seen an application that just assumes I want to listen to the music on my iphone. I use Pandora. Give me the ability to only receive Waze voice prompts and don't disable my pandora and start playing itunes music.

7. Add stop along route

   It would be nice to be able to use Google Assistant hands free to ask Waze to find a stop along your route like Google Maps does. Right now, if you ask it to find something while you're on a trip, it will just do a generic search that may have results in the opposite direction. On Google Maps, it gives you a list truly along your route and tells you how many minutes it will add to your overall trip. That would be lovely on Waze, please.

9. Enhancing Navigation by Selectively Considering Planned Road Closures

   One possible solution could be to include a checkbox that allows editors to choose which planned closures are considered so important that they should be taken into account in the navigation before they become effective. This way, editors can select only the closures that are critical for navigation, while excluding those that are not as important.

   For example, in Switzerland these days, the Gotthard Tunnel is closed at night for cleaning. This closure can cause significant disruptions to travel, as the Gotthard Tunnel is an essential link between German-speaking Switzerland and the Italian-speaking Ticino region. Without the tunnel, the detour would have to start much further away, causing much longer travel times and significant inconvenience.

   If the closure starts at 10 pm, the navigation would strictly continue towards the Gotthard Tunnel until that time, only to then turn back shortly before the closure. This could be avoided if the planned closure could be taken into account in the navigation before it becomes effective.

   A restriction would not pose this problem, but we would not have the flexibility to adjust the closure at short notice, as we would have to wait for the map update. That’s why it would be useful if the planned closures could be taken into account in the navigation before they become effective.

   With the checkbox, it could also ensure that the end date is taken into account. For example, if the closure ends at 5am, navigation could start towards that closure beforehand. However, this can only be ensured with the checkbox, so that in case of an accident or an unclear closure end time, navigation is not initiated prematurely.

10. Tammy Dombeck - The Gridlock Buster

    I am nominating my beautiful bride Tammy Dombeck to be one of your voices. Tammy was the Traffic reporter on the NBC affiliate in Dallas-Fort Worth for 14 years. After she left, she spent 3 years at the CBS affiliate as their morning and afternoon traffic reporter. We live in Fort Worth and I commute to Dallas during the week so I have been using yoru app for a couple of years. Love it. What I do miss is seeing and hearing Tammy give her traffic reports. I also am guessing that there are thousands and thousands of people here in North Texas that use your app that would love to hear Tammy's voice give us directions and brighten our day. I know you don't know Tammy but just google her name and you will see what she is all about. I would love to hear her voice on my Waze App so maybe I am being selfish, but I love what she does and how she can bring a smile to all of us who know Tammy Dombeck. Tammy has a huge social media following and can spread the word about Waze to grow your audience here in Dallas Fort Worth. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

    Thank you for your suggestion. We will add this voice request to our User Request wish-list.

11. Wazer statistics make posted speed limits obsolete

    When driving in fog, darkness or on unfamiliar roads I want a warning from Waze, if my speed is greater than (say) the 90th percentile of the Wazer statistical distribution for my position and driving direction.

    I would also like to be alerted if another Wazer near before me drives much slower than I do.

    BACKGROUND

    Guidelines from location- and real-time data on the speed of Wazers should be more safety-relevant than rigidly posted speed limits, constant over both time and long distances.

    === Police Supervision of Posted Speed Limits Obsolete ===

    Such functions in Waze may contribute considerably to driving safety. In the long run they will hopefully also put an end to the non-scientific police and camera speed supervision.

    Today's punishment of individuals missing a speed sign is hardly significant to safety in normal situations. Through GPS navigators' and drivers' common warnings of police presence, this unfortunate focus on posted speed limits also reduces police efficiency when chasing real criminals.

    Research indicates that a great speed deviation from that of the average traffic flow is more dangerous than a minor violation of the posted speed limit. This is the case also for unusually low speeds.

    === Regression fallacy ===

    Speed cameras have been justified with false claims on their alleged accident reduction. Such overestimations of the safety influence (from reduced local traffic speed and from lowering speed limits as well as from speed cameras) are based on ignorance of the statistical regression effect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_fallacy
    
    Decades ago the same misconception gave exaggerated cause for traffic lights.

12. Have client present auto-off if removed from charging

    I sometimes make frequent stops during a trip, and it is an annoyance to have to start and stop the client so that it doesn't give false heavy traffic reports. If I am in the car, I always have the phone on a charger. if the client senses that the phone is no longer charging, have a pop-up box ask if the application should be turned off.

13. "I'm in a parking garage" button to delay route recalculation and map out garages

    An "I'm in a parking garage" button would allow you to:

    1) Delay route recalculation until the car had actually started on the route (10 meters along actual street or so)

    2) Map out existing parking garages for feedback to navigation

    Because fiddling with your phone while driving is illegal in Austin, I prefer to set the route and be done with it before I start driving. Driving in circles around the garage means I typically have to do it afterward if I don't want recalculation to squelch my chosen route (non-toll vs toll for instance).

14. Make my Waze work. It requires a user agreement every time I start it.

    Fix the Waze on the Android Nexus so that it starts every time without having to agree to a user agreement, logging in, getting a number etc. It is a pain and makes it useless.

16. integrate into Android Auto?

    Good day guys. Just a quick one. Please can you guys have a look to integrate this awesome app into Android Auto? This is new technology that many car makers are starting to use and they only make use off Google maps. This app displays your mobile navigation on the vehicle's multimedia head unit. Waze is my navigation off choice and it would be a big plus for me and many others. Thank you. Regards. Izak (Dok69)

18. Voice Search shouldn't require so many taps to work.

    The best driving apps are ones that you don't have to touch very often since that takes concentration away from the road. Waze lets you search via tapping the Microphone button but then still requires multiple taps to complete the request.

    Current steps:
    1) TAP magnifying glass
    2) TAP microphone
    3) Say name of place to go
    4) Look at the screen to see the list of possible suggestions
    5a) TAP the location you want if shown, or
    5b) TAP the Search button for more results and then TAP the location you want
    6) TAP the Go button
    7) TAP the Go Now button (or wait for the timer to expire)

    As you can see, this requires between 4 and 6 Taps to start navigation

    When I do a voice search, I almost always have the correct location as the first entry when I search with enough information (e.g. "Papa Johns North Avenue" instead of just "Papa Johns")

    I'd like to suggest an enhancement (could be toggleable in options) that would remove some of the requires Taps and give Waze more automation..

    I'd like to see it work as:
    1) TAP magnifying glass
    2) TAP microphone
    3) Say name of place to go
    4) Waze will search and automatically choose the first result as the location to go to
    5) TAP the Go button (put a short timer on this step so I don't have to tap anything)
    5a) I could tap Cancel/Back/whatever if it happened to find the wrong location and then I can use the normal steps up above
    6) TAP the Go Now button (or wait for the timer to expire)

    This reduces the number of times I have to interact with the phone to just the initial two Taps to bring up the voice search box. After that, Waze goes by itself. This would allow users to pay more attention to the road quicker without having to keep telling Waze what to do.

    Thanks

20. Protest the removal of the police warning feature!

    The Sheriff's association is using the tired old excuse that the police warning feature in the Waze app "could be used by terrorists." That is a RIDICULOUS excuse! The truth is that they just don't want us having the ability to warn others about their friggin' speed traps, and they don't want us avoiding tickets! Terrorists my shiny white butt! They use all of their technology against us, and then when we have something to use against them they just don't like it. This feature in Waze is just the next step above radar detectors. Well we got those and they couldn't stop them, so they shouldn't be able to stop this feature. PROTEST THE REMOVAL OF THE POLICE WARNING FEATURE. We have the right to know where our public servants are, especially if they're out there setting up speed traps everywhere trying to rob us of our money! First they deliberately set speed limits on various streets to ridiculously low levels, then they direct the cops to set up speed traps knowing that people are going faster than the stupid limit they imposed. It's all a friggin' lie, a swindle specifically designed to rob us. Well I for one say screw that. TELL GOOGLE: I WANT MY POLICE FEATURE. Do it now, because they already agreed to meet with the Sheriff's Association!
