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.

Offset turn instruction
Oftentimes at standard, perpendicular intersections, streets dead-end on one side and pick up again on the other side, offset by just a few dozen feet. For simplicity's sake and for routing, we map a lot of these as plain four-way intersections (like an italicized + sign, you could say).
But this can be confusing for drivers, who arrive at the intersection with no special instruction and yet are forced to almost fully turn right or left. The simple four-way mapping style is appropriate when the offset would still allow a car's width to pass through without turning, but when there…

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.

Dim screen between directions and alerts
It would be great to have an option to allow the screen to go off until a direction or alert announcement was about to be made. This would:
- Save battery life (for when you forget your charge cable!)
- Be a great visual trigger when sound is off (when the baby is sleeping in the back)
- Help prevent screen burn in for those phones with that issue0 votes -

Add option to add sound decibel readers
NYC specifically in the 5 boroughs of new york as well as a couple of other states started a program for sound decibel readers to be installed through out the city in other words noise cameras for cars and motorcycles. NYC has always been a loud place so this is un necessary. It is also not right towards cars that come from the factory stock such as scat pack chargers, hellcats, mustangs, harley davidson motorcycles, sports bikes, As well as many super cars. The 1st noise violation is a insane price of approximately $800 the 2nd is approximately $1600…

Feature request - ability to specify which lane is affected
I wonder if it would be possible to add an extra screen where you can specify where a hazard is - e.g. a pothole or object in the road. It’s not useful on a 3 lane motorway to be informed about a pothole in lane 3 when you’re driving in lane 1!
Additionally if a feature could be added regarding reporting things on the other side of the road - e.g. roadworks that are in the lane going in the other direction but not affecting your lane.

I don't like the new waze. Can't stop navigation after it starts.
I don't like the NEW Waze. Can't stop navigation once it starts unless I close the app completely. Make it bigger on the iphone so I can leave my phone on the dash while driving.

CarPlay Instrument Cluster Support
Apple CarPlay has started to support instrument clusters (Display behind the steering wheel), however so far it only supports Apple Maps. Developers have said this is available for apps like Waze to utilize, but you guys would have to update it to support that. I was hoping you guys could push this update as it would be very convenient and helpful. Currently using CarPlay on a Land Rover with the latest Pivi system. Thank you!

During radar warning speed limit is not visible
During radar warning the "current speedlimit" is shifted above and disappears under the "next direction change information". Then you can not see the speed you are actually driving during the speed control, this please needs improvement.

Improve "forgot username or password" process
I upgraded to a new phone. Forgot my username & password but the entire existing process is circular. Put in my phone number (didn't receive a text w/in 24 hours). Put in my email address (didn't receive an email w/in 24 hours). I charged & started my old phone to get my username. Once I retrieved it and put it into the new phone I received a verification code via text. I used that code and then added my full name - and I was given a new user name which I did not choose. When I put in…

I-95 South of Washington DC
Waze does not recognize the EZ Pass lanes that change direction during the day. When using these lanes, Waze continually directs you to exit these lanes and move to the permanently North or South lanes. It’s very distracting and should be corrected.

pre-warning
if the congestion/queue is far from intersection and will only have an effect later (e.g. 10km or more) but it already known and waze strongly suggest a detour, should be indicated somehow (e.g. a traffic jam icon with distance in km, blinking roadline, etc),
that there is a big traffic jam in that direction in 10km,
before I get to the intersection2 votes -
Voice
Love the app last time I suggested you guys some thing you almost instantly had it up and going which would have been the night mode thought of some thing else for you guys since I use you on a regular base and cops are getting bad on using phones while driving let's do like googles famous "ok google" but instead have a feature for Waze for reporting things instead of using our phones while driving "Wakey Waze" would be a kool idea for a catchy way to wake up the app.
Oh and out of curiosity any idea if…

BUG: Start of trajectory speed control is not in the correct language
Situation: I live in the Netherlands, but both my iPhone and Waze are set to English (male voice in Waze). But when I approach a trajectory speed control, the warning is spoken in Dutch (female voice). I've seen several mentions of this when searching on Google, so I'm not the only one with this issue.

Show "merge" when road name changes
Some paths go on roads crossing city boundaries and the road changes or the road only goes in one direction but the road name changes, it would be nice to see an arrow with name change.
Some paths go through a ramp or lane merge that do not show because it is the only path possible, but the name of the road changes, or the direction (turning right since it is the only possible route) which is misleading when you know you have to turn right but Waze says the next turn is left.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Save ride statistics
It will be wonderful if i can see at the end of my ride - few statistics (and save them if i want). e.g. - "Start at 15:00, arrived at 16:45, one stop of 24 minutes include". or the speedometer graph if possible.

report dangerous driver
i wish i could say "hey google, report dangerous driver" and waze would notify users 1-3 miles ahead so they can start watching their rearview mirrors.

Use the location where a place's photo is taken rather than the location when the Place tool is selected.
Many reporters don't understand that the location of a new place is specified when they start the place tool. As a result, they start place early so that they can be ready to take the picture when they get to the actual location.
Using the location where the picture is taken is actually more intuitive as the reporter is known to be at, or near, the location at that time.

Add an ETA button
Add an ETA option - you will tell Waze when and where you need to be and Waze will calculate and will tell you when to start moving
