  1. Meet another wazer

    Add a feature to allow two wazers to request and approve to meet each other, which would show "distance apart" and possibly route to a central location, possibly a parking lot. It would most likely initiate from a friends list, or be able to recognize names on the seach location screen, which would send a meeting request to the friend wazer, allowing them to accept the request and initiate the routing.

  3. Create shortcut to go to location and alert user of journey (replicate Glympse functionality)

    I have noticed that Waze now offers location sharing. I would like for it to completely replace my need for running Glympse in tandem. Ideally, if I could have a shortcut icon on my phone home screen that started navigation to "Home", and shared my location with my wife, this would be great. Many thanks.

  4. Alerts and Navigation Checkboxes

    I would love the option to turn off alerts and solely have the navigation voice be audible!

    I've read that the purpose for having the options be "Sound Off," "Alerts Only," and "Sound On" -- no "Navigation Only" -- is to keep the interface sleek, which I completely understand and support... so how about instead of making it a slider from "Sound Off" to "Alerts Only" to "Sound On," you made them checkboxes?

    That way, you'd only have two toggles -- "Alerts On/Off," and "Navigation On/Off," and folks in dense metropolitan areas wouldn't…

  5. 2 step alerts

    The alerts are awesome. My issue is that the prompt to confirm the alert (“still there” / “not there”) is too early for me to determine if it is. For example, I can’t see an object in the road that’s 1/2 a mile away. Because the pop up is distracting, half the time I just click that it’s still there. I wonder if there could be a two step process. So, 1. The alert 2. Once you’re closer to it “still there”?

  6. Traffic Jam Elimination Assistance

    It seems that Waze could alert the "Wazers" on a road of a recommended speed to adapt that would help "clear" the jam if it is a phantom incident, and it is just a need to dissipate the "wave". See for instance:

  7. Would like to see better graphics on the road alert popups so easier to distinguish alert type if voice alerts are off.

    Need different graphic for vehicle on side of road, construction, object on road, etc. If sound is off or not hears, the subtext (vehicle stopped on shoulder, vs construction, etc) are hard to read. Also, different graphics for visible vs hidden police alerts would be helpful.

  8. Move all traffic alerts 1-2 miles earlier

    I would dearly love to hear there's traffic ahead a mile or two sooner, please.

    I've never had a traffic alert sound before I am in the tailback, and it is too late to reroute, or accept fate!

    Big fan of Waze, thank you.

  9. Limit traffic alerts to same country/smaller area

    There's no point in showing alerts from 2000+ km away. Most people are only interested in alerts in their immediate area.

    Now available  ·  krankyd responded

    On Android, iPhone and next versions of Symbian and WM, you can set a radius for alerts. Go to general settings.

  10. Alerts based on time

    You should calculate how far or how long a Alert stays on the screen based on your speed because if something is a mile away and you're traveling miles an hour config one hour to get to especially if the traffic jam so if you could display something which is like a minute away they sometime be about the much better use of the screen space because something is staying there

  11. Navigate through alerts popups

    There have been many times when I'm stopped and Waze is cycling through the different alerts that people have reported and I'll see the tail end of one and then it changes and I have no way to go back to see it again.

    I would like to see a forward, backwards, and don't show this alert again option.

  12. Limit weather alerts

    Limit the weather alerts so they are not distracting. Driving in severe weather yesterday I kept getting weather and slippery road alerts every few seconds which caused a distraction. I ended up turning off the volume so I could focus on the road. Seems like there could be a filter similar to traffic that limits the number of alerts in a given area while still conveying the initial alert.

  13. Clickable alerts icons in the "Overview" button

    I think it can be better to have the possibility to click on the alert icons at the top of the screen (traffic, crash, hazard...) when we are on the "Overview" screen to see where the different alerts are.

  14. ALERTA DE RADARES EM FUNCIONAMENTO NOTURNO. LIGADO-DESLIGADO ALERT OF RADARS IN NIGHT WORKING. ON OFF

    Prezados Especialistas WAZE,

    Venho através desta, levantar uma situação que aflige a todos os motoristras brasileiros e se aplica consequentemente a todos os usuários do nosso tão querido WAZE.

    Acabo de receber uma multa em que meu veiculo foi fotografado após avançar um sinal às 01h59min em rua do Rio de Janeiro.

    Em nota, as autoridades policiais recomendam a prática de avançar o sinal à noite já que o Estado se confessa incapaz de garantir a segurança do cidadão no horário noturno. Por meio disso, acreditava que os fotossensores não multassem por avanço de sinal à noite em determinado horário.

    The arrows that show the upcoming turn can show a turn quite a distance away. By the time you get to the right turn there are one or two turns ahead. I suggest that when you get to a situation where the right turn is the first one you get to, that the arrows turn from red to green, or flash or some other obvious shape. That way it will be easy to recognize when you really need to take the next first turn. Ron.

  17. Police Car in the middle

    On the open interstate highways in the USA the State Highway Patrol sit in the middle but I don't know which direction the police is shooting. If there is a "middle" option, it would alert Waze users of either direction. Not only one side of the highway

  18. Settings for types of alerts to allow

    There are many types of alerts the Waze client can display as a layer on the map and/or pop up on your screen, sometimes both visual and audible. We would like to see an new Settings area added for the types of alerts we want to see and/or ignore and never have a notification appear or be heard.

    The notifications should include at least, but not necessarily limited to:
    Speed cams
    Red light cams
    Police (speed trap)
    Road Hazards
    Road segment speed condition
    Traffic Jams
    Chit Chat
    Accident

    Great news! For each type of report/alert you’re able to specify whether you’d like it do be displayed on the route. Accessed via Settings – Alerts&Reports – Reports. What’s more, you can choose area (e.g. 5 km around you) for which reports will be displayed on the map.

  19. Optional "no map" (trip computer) view when route is known

    8 out of 10 times I use Waze driving to and from work, a route I know very well so I don't need Waze to show me my position on the map.
    What I instead would like is a "trip computer" kind of interface, showing me things like my current speed, current speed limit (if known), maybe a color code for traffic ahead on route (green, yellow, red), ETA, current road name (nice to have, not need to have - I know where I am), live updates of incidents (needs to update themselves automatically), textual navigation instructions like "turn right…

  20. Notice if a location has had speed cameras/police cameras report multiple time in that locations

    An alert if a location has had multiple reports of speed cameras or police in that location in the past.

    I'm thinking of mobile speed camera traps that are moved around. The locations for both mobile speed traps and mobile speed vans tend to reuse the same locations.
    So being able to have an alert saying cameras have been reported in this location previously would be brilliant.
