View a route in steps display color
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make/create a way for Wazers to customize colors, icons and text sizes that work for them!!!
I have to use the Waze app. My display screen shows the map but in order to view the route in steps I have to use my iPhone. I have CarPlay, I don’t have a touchscreen, and I don’t have built in navigation system. The major issue is the inability to customize the background color, text color and the color of the icons, example: exit number, route number etc. by each step. The only options are a black background with white…1 vote -
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.

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! -
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…

Custom colors for car icon arrow &night time route
To be able to change colour of default car icon and night time route color, the cyan blue is too much of a strain on the eyes, if these were to be customised to suit all individuals for their own preference, this would be appreciated, maybe a shaded circle around the arrow as well for more clarity.

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…

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 -

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.

Danger level routes
Hi there,
I love Waze and use it everywhere in the world, mainly Africa and South America where traffic can be hectic... But also dangerous.
I would love to have the option in Waze to chose a route depending on how dangerous the area to cross is.9 votes -
Signalement 2 roues sur la route

Hello, please add option 'Emission level' so waze will be able to calculate route due to EU standardat ( example - Euro 4)
Hello,most of countries now began now to restrict cars with high pollution emissions in big cities so i would say its compulsory to make waze able to calculate route compared to user cars emission level ! In this way of ideas everyone who owe old cars ( for example Euro 3) will not enter in cities where car can not meet emissions standars, hope i was clear ! Please add in future option : Car Emission level ! Thanks

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.

Transferring routes from Google Maps to Waze
Hi,
Since Waze is now linked to Google Maps, it would be great if I could transfer a planned route from Google Maps with multiple stops to my Waze app.16 votes -
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.

Business Address Route to arrive on the right side of the street
For business address, hotels, commercial, etc. especially in busy downtown areas, please have the route always go around the block or whatever is necessary to arrive on the Right side of the street. For example dropping a passenger off in front of the building. Avoids having to do a mid-block u-turn or going around the block.
