rotate the map when stopped to know which direction to go
Rotate the map by rotating the phone. Currently there is only the option to rotate the vehicle indicator, it should have the option to rotate the map when pointing the phone in the direction you are going, so it would be easier to know which direction to go when you leave, as you only realize that you are going in the wrong direction after walking a few meters.
Girar o mapa ao girar o telefone. Atualmente tem somente a opção que gira o indicador do veículo, deveria ter a opção de girar o mapa ao apontar o telefone na direção…3 votes -
Use a friends live gps signal as destination
You can Share you Destination with a Friend if you connect by Facebook.
But what if you want to see where he stopped, like a gas station or something. or he decides to drive somewhere different.
It would be nice to choose your friend as a destination so when the friends phone updates its location that is the new destination for yourself. This idea needs refining i guess. But basically so you can follow your friend if you drive together, to not lose the other one! or the group!

While traveling or entering a navigation route, the user should be able to search for a Point of Interest (POI) such as "Starbucks" and save it as route POI. The app should display all "Starbucks" locations on the route with the option to add one or more POIs as a new stop. the POI will remain active until navigation is stopper or user reached destination

Landscapes near you and you did not know about their existence
On an excursion in Europe between Germany and Austria and Switzerland, we reached our destination, like any destination. But it is also important to enjoy the road and breathtaking scenery. Sometimes it's worth stopping for a moment .. (That's how the idea came about)
Sharing landscape photos (located on / near the route I'm going through) of users will help those who do not know the area, reach the landscape that is on my route. Stop for a moment and watch from the vehicle and then continue on a trip
It will be possible to operate it as a feature…

Emergency vehicle
Clicking/ reporting for an emergency vehicle should be for stopped emergency vehicles and accidents.
It drives me crazy when people are clicking emergency vehicle just because they are passing by which is NOT helpful. This is apparently unclear. Would you kindly make a post that populates with the next update to inform wazers not to click for non-stopped emergency vehicles?5 votes -
Send lane INTERDICTION alert through the vehicle's multimedia.
Hello, I believe that the following idea is an improvement and it is not a possible bug solution, because the functionality would have been tested before the release of the version.
When trying to send a lane interdiction alert through the vehicle's multimedia, the option does not appear, just using the cell phone without mirroring, I am using a cell phone with an IOS operating system, but the same behavior is seen with cell phones with an Android operating system.
Particularly, I don't walk with my cell phone in hand while driving, nor would I like to stop the vehicle…

Plan a drive
I like the plan a drive option. I wish you could add more locations to a plan a drive. Basically make a full trip from start to finish and add all the location you want to stop at.
6 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Option for simple sounds instead of vocal phrases for hazards, police, construction, traffic, etc...
It's great to have so many voice options, but even the best ones can get annoying on long trips. A simple tone for "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder Ahead" would be nice, as would a quick WOOP-WOOP to indicate "Police Reported Ahead".

Stop app closing when in traffic
The app closes when stuck in traffic or stopped for a long time at a red light. That's dumb. If it's important to have the app close automatically then maybe it should at least notify you so you don't keep driving and expecting directions

Put the avoid freeways option on the route page. Stop hiding it.
Avoid Freeways option needs to be moved to the routes page. Make it as easy for us to change as the avoid tolls is.
Right now you have it buried and it takes a few clicks to get to it. And we all know that Waze does not give alternative routes UNLESS Avoid Freeways is turn off.

Can you make it so that the navigating voice has a rude/profane setting?
I think it would be quite funny if the Waze navigator had more personality. If I miss a turn, let it scold me. I want it to cuss at me and make fun of my driving. I would never stop laughing. PLEASE make this happen.

Add ability to plan a route or loop and choose roads for planned rides that you can save and share.
Sometimes people like to take a road trip for fun. Such as a group of motorcycles.
It would be nice to be able to pre-plan a ride that includes several different/chosen roads, that will eventually bring you back home or to the starting point. Like a loop.
If you could drag and move the route on the map, while planning it, it would be easier to add points of interest along the way. Plus more than one stop per route would be great!
Routing from point A to B is very good, but the ability to customize and save your…

Sending a location to Android Auto from the phone is set as new destination without proposing to set it as a stop
When using Waze on Android Auto and sending a location to waze from a phone app, the location is set as new destination, replacing the existing destination if there was one. A possibility to select between replace or add a stop would be better.

Suggestion for Adding Stop Signs to Waze Map Editor: Enhancing Safety, Traffic Flow, and User Experience
Dear Waze Development Team,
I know this feature was denied back in 2022 but I would like to suggest adding this feature again due to how important it is. This feature will allow map editors to include stop signs on the Waze map.
Here are a few reasons why:
Enhanced Safety: Drivers will have advanced notice of stop signs, allowing them to prepare to stop safely, which can reduce the risk of accidents at intersections.Improved Traffic Flow: Accurate stop sign information helps drivers make better decisions, contributing to smoother traffic movement and less congestion.
Optimized Route Planning: Knowing where…

Seeing other that need assistance
I thought it would be helpful to have an Assitance request in Waze, but I wondered if there could be a feature instead of me requesting assistance for me if it could be for someone else. Also, there was a stretch of highway where I did see someone on the other side pulled over, trying to alert for assistance. I was wondering if that could be a future feature. By the time I got close to the off-ramp to drive the other way, it already was 30 minutes, and I decided to keep going because I was hopeful that maybe…

Stop the app turning off
The app continually turns itself off anytime you stop. Most importantly it does this when you stop for gas. Let's say you've listened to some of the true crime podcast and also understand that this is one of the most vulnerable times that people driving on their own have. So it would be fantastic if the navigation stayed on and the people that you shared your travel with could continue to see you and not put you into doubly bad spot where you are outside, and now the people you shared your location with can't see you.
It's like you…1 vote
