Warnings are blocked by route in landscape mode on iphone
when using waze on my iphone 6 in landscape mode, the top of the screen indicates where next exit is, etc. When a warning is received it appears behind the aforementioned route and the warning cannot be read in its entirety, so it is a guess it there is an obstruction, stalled car, police etc. This just happened within the last month.

I'm constantly getting ''Routing Server Timeout'' when I want to calculate a long route (in my case, 1050 KM). Could you please fix this?
Could you please fix this? I'd love to add more information as needed, but this is the first time that I'm using this website so I don't know if this will be possible. The route does cross a few country's though.

Collaborative Routing
Waze works like the most other Navigation Apps. You can choose between 1 and 3 different fixed routes, that sometimes slightly change when there is a lot of traffic ahead. The problem is, that Waze works like a broadcast as far as I know.
So when Route 1 have heavy traffic, all other users get Route 2 to avoid traffic. The problem here is, that new heavy traffic will be created to avoid the first.
All cars following the same alternative route.
Instead of rely on fixed routes, each user should get a personal routing suggestion l,…

More Route options and prevent closing mid-ride
Hi there, I have a suggestion. Kindly add more route options, this is especially important in congested cities like Nairobi. It will frequently save time to go around than to to go thru the CBD. Addtionally, using your app on my motorcycle, I had severe issues with the app closing mid-ride resulting in complete confusion where to go. Please sort these out. The app has a lot of potential but is unusable because of this

Routes via specific road
Plan or change a route to use a specific road ie. a specific interstate road, state road, local road, so the route will go specifically how you want to drive it. Many times the suggested routes are not the best. One knows this after having driven a certain route multiple times. Waze does not know this.

Route at CarPlay Waze map partially hidden by some Waze infos
Waze map at CarPlay for BMW X2 is displayed only on 2/3 of the screen. This blocks almost half of the route, hiding it below some Waze screen information and making it difficult to use Waze at CarPlay. I would like to send some pictures of this problem.

Indication of clear route ahead (compared to normal traffic)
Where I live, there aren't that many Wazers. So often, heavy traffic on a stretch of road is not reported simply because no Wazer has been there yet (despite it being a busy main road).
Regularly I will detour around junctions because usually there is congestion, sometimes reported on Waze, sometimes not, it ends up being a gamble to detour or not.
However sometimes (and it seems randomly), there is no congestion. On the Waze client, the road is shown as clear, but like I said above, that often means no Wazer has been there yet to report traffic, so…

Need a way to ignore/report closure on route with major accident and closure reported on news
Today a major accident occurred, closing a main highway during morning rush hour. Waze kept trying to send me that way, even though radio, tv, and my school all reported it and advised avoiding that route entirely because of major delays. From my alternate route, I could see the traffic jam caused by the accident.

Waze needs to remember start/destination. When I flag an issue, I can't recall because I route 30 stops a day
Have Waze keep in short-term memory or allow your volunteer troubleshooters to look at a full route when addressing a mapping issue brought to Waze attention by the driver/app user. I make 20-30 stops a day, and when I later get around to making a complaint, I cannot remember the exact order I made the stops to give your troubleshooters the original / destination. I've stopped pointing out mapping issues and driving direction problems because it is a waste of my time.

Please update route showing newly completed 269 to Tunica via 302 past Corinth Ms. Cuts off 1 hour travel time compared to the Waze app.
Route to 1010 Casino Dr. Robinson Ms., Waze does not show new and updated route. Outside Corinth Ms. take 302 then State road 269 into Tunica. Cuts off one hour travel time compared to the route shown in Waze currently.

privilégier les routes sures
j'ai utilisé votre application pendant un mois en Italie
même si les trajets sont exacts les routes que vous nous faites emprunter sont pour le mois dangereuses et ne sont absolument pas recommandables
cela vient du fait que votre application cherche la route la plus courte en temps mais non pas la route la plus sure même si elle nécessite le faire quelques km de plus
j'ai fait l'expérience similaire avec google maps et c'est exactement les mêmes résultats tout aussi dangereux7 votes -
Indicate toll roads on main navigation screen
Because a tiny icon in the route summary doesn't cut it and is often missed!
Also ability to show (in route summary) the cost and payment methods (cash, card, NFC, NPR, etc) of the toll road so you can plan ahead.

Multi-day future planned routes + Weather condition integration & notifications coinciding with future route planning
It would be helpful if Waze allowed for planned routes that are regularly occurring to be set e.g. (Mon-Fri 8am-5pm). As well as a notification if there are any weather conditions that may affect that planned commute. If so, a general recommendation of what time to leave to allow for possible traffic build up in order to arrive on time. Essentially it would require weather integration, possibly AccuWeather.

Road on route exclusion
For commercial vehicles in London there are many roads we arent allowed to drive down (such as the royal parks)
It would be great for this and other issues regarding traffic and other obstructions to install a feature that allows you to exclude a certain road from your trip, Allowing Waze to reroute you avoiding that a particular road if possible.
I had a TomTom 10 years ago that allowed you to do this and I used it regularly.

Provide the option to Avoid a route through a state
As states continue to press forward on legislation hostile to the LGBTQ+ community - with some even including potential arrests for being in your gender identity - please consider an option to avoid routing through an area, such as a city or state.
This will be key for the personal safety of LGBTQ+ community members.
