Keep Santa Claus voice all year round
I’m a recent Waze User - started using Waze just before Christmas - I just love the Santa Claus voice - so funny and upbeat- I put it on even though I know where I’m going
This morning I am all set to have Santa guide me to work and he’s gone,
The other voices are so boring - I’m sorry to say - and that Boy Band voice is the most annoying

Road closure options
Would be nice to be able to report a road closure prior to starting trip. I know a major road is closed but I can't report it to be routed around it until I am at the closure

Voice search button for destinations using apple carplay.
Carplay voice input was taken away (microphone icon). I can no longer search via voice for directions to any place. Now I can only use iphone maps or google maps. Seems strange to remove a vital feature as now I cannot get directions to places with my voice.

KM/Milage Tracking
You guys should develop an add on like
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.everlance&hl=en
I use Waze for travel and work, but I normally jump between apps to keep track of everything. Maybe develop a Waze for Work App, that allows this. But i'm sure there are a ton of people who drive for a living that would appreciate this. Just to have a printable report at the end of the month, with start and stop locations, and expenses while i'm working etc. There are too many apps to just keep jumping around, and with all the new hands free laws... One App and Done!

STOP 180° car rotation when standing still
So I come to a stop light, and after a while, my car and map (not the screen) rotates, I guess, as it thinks I actually did make a U turn. Problem is my speed is 0km/h. It happens even when you have a destination to navigate to, and then, all of u sudden, I'm turned around and I'm being shown to make first to the right. I start driving, the whole thing rotates ones again, and I miss my left turn !?!?! I think it's because it get's a satellite position which shifted a bit, so it thinks that…

The ability to disable sounds / text messages / email while Waze is running
Would it be possible to have Waze disable sounders when I start it. This way I wouldn't be distracted while driving?

App2sd support for waze android-version
Android-based mobile phones have started to get 2.2 (FroYo), which brought support for moving applications to SD card. Since Waze is quite a big application (~6 mb for me), it would be really good to be able to move it to the memory card.

Commuting route changes
I would very much like to have a mode that knows my usual daily commuting route and doesnt give turn by turn directions for this but starts announcing if something unuasal is up today, "waking me up" before I drive into the biggest traffic jam ever and gives me directions to avoid this then but only then.

Really great app! Thank you guys for doing such good job!
But nevertheless there are some features that could be done better:
1. App freezes sometimes after start then there is no connection with GSM network.
2. Then there are numerous alerts on the same spot, only nearest is announced. E.g. among "police", "accident on the road" and "vehicle on the shoulder" happend in the same area, only "vehicle on the shoulder" will be announced, meanwhile "police" is more important, because it is also used for mobile radars. It would be great, if "police" alert had priority over others alerts.
3. Mobile radars or LIDARs. Then I see one on the…1 voteThanks for reaching out.

Reduce taps required from search to navigation
Currently from the time I see an address for which I've searched to when I'm able to just drive and see the map and directions, there are FOUR TAPS in between those two things happening.
Tap 1 — Seeing the address as text in search results.
Tap 2 — Seeing the address as an official box in results.
Tap 3 — Seeing the address on a map with parking options
Tap 4 — Directions calculated, and clearing option to choose routes.When a person is starting to drive, that's quite frustrating.
I just want to GO. Please…

Avoid parkways or truck route option
Does Waze offer an option for Truck Routes? I travel frequently on Long Island, NY and I have a cargo trailer on my SUV... Waze directs me onto parkways and I can't take parkways with the trailer.
Also, it would be wonderful if, when approaching your destination, Waze would tell you if it was on the right or left side of the street.32 votes -
For Right Hand Drive countries, give directions from the right speaker.
I live in a RHD country and the directions from Waze come out of the front left hand speaker - which makes perfect sense in the (majority) LHD countries, but is quite hard to hear in certain circumstances.
Either the sound should come equally out of both front speakers or it should be localised so that in LHD countries it comes out of the left speaker, and in RHD countries it comes out of the right speaker so it's closest to the driver.

Voice navigation starts route straight away
When on a route I sometimes need to say 'take me to the nearest gas station' when I need to fill up and do not know the nearest but want to add a stop.
However it then prompts me to click on a particular option, which is illegal when driving. You should implement 'select XXX' feature or just start a diversion to the nearest so I don't have to pull over to touch the screen.
Even when saying 'Take me to BP insert town' it still has to do a search and you have to click - it won't …

create a app settings profile for multi user environment (90 devices that needs same setting)
To start using navigation in a large emergency (firetrucs) environment we would like to keep things easy. We are thinking about central management of a waze orginasation installation and setup centrally the waze settings instead of local on the device. In a future release we then perhaps can license it and remove adds or use it to centrall set type of default navigation, layout etc.

Don't inundate me with popups on startup. . . EVER
I'm happy for you that you're updating your app, but PLEASE STOP throwing popups at me when I start the app afterward. That will only do three things: 1. Piss me off. 2. Endanger my safety and the safety of others during the most dangerous time of driving (pulling out of a parking spot/driveway) with the distractions. 3. Ensure that I never actually see the information you're trying to get me to see.
Please. Use common sense. Don't do this.

Markiplier Waze Voice
Markiplier has one of the most soothing voices out there, and directions from that would every car ride a blast. Bonus points if he freaks out whenever you miss an exit.

טיימר לעקיפה בטוחה בכביש הערבה
הבעיה:
הקטע שבין צומת הערבה לצומת קטורה בכביש 90, באורך של כ-120 ק"מ, נחשב לאחד הקטעים המסוכנים בישראל. מרבית הדרך חד-נתיבית לכל כיוון, ללא אפשרות עקיפה בטוחה – וזה יוצר לחץ, נהיגה תוקפנית ומצבים מסכני חיים על בסיס יומי.
בין השנים 2000 ל-2020 נהרגו בכביש הערבה כולו 81 בני אדם, כאשר חלק גדול מהתאונות נגרמות עקב עקיפות מסוכנות בקטעים שאינם מאפשרים עקיפה בטוחה.
הצעה לפיצ'ר מציל חיים:
Waze תוסיף התראה מתקדמת – טיימר בצד המסך או הודעה קולית/חזותית – שתעדכן את הנהג מראש על קטע דו-נתיבי מתקרב:
🕒 "בעוד 2.4 ק"מ – קטע דו-נתיבי לעקיפה בטוחה"
⏳ "המתן עוד 90…20 votes -
Make it so that I can just see a map with my entire route to work with traffic issues, police, etc shown.
Why should the default be turn by turn to work? That actually doesn't make sense. If I tap on work, I should see the complete map to see what traffic looks like, not some voice telling me how to navigate a drive I have done most days for 10 years. This is in fact so obvious that I can't believe that's not the way it is already. If you do that one thing, I will start using the app every day, and it will be wonderful. For now I guess I will keep using google maps every day.
