PLEASE remove the reporting of potholes -- This is driving me insane.
Hello,
Though I do believe the initial intentions of reporting potholes were genuine, it has become an absolute nightmare for regular wazers.
I live in a metropolitan area and, unfortunately, not many people in my area have any inclination on what a pothole actually is. This has led to people spamming the map with tens of pothole reports on any given stretch of road (usually the reports are for an uneven patch of road, or even a small bump in the road)...
I'm sure other will agree that this issue has led to, and will continue to lead to, alert…

Localized Highway Shields (State & County Routes, etc)
In the U.S., each state has its own highway route number shield. Some states, like West Virginia, also have county route shields that differ from the state route shields. In Pennsylvania, a route like Route 28 would show the Keystone with a 28 on top of it.
A lot of effort is taken in WME to ensure the road names and turn-by-turn instructions match signage. Drivers would benefit by having the same highway shields in their Waze app as they will see on the highway signage as they drive.
Apple has already included this in Apple Maps. It…

Give us the voice of Gigi Saul Guerrero!
Gigi Saul Guerrero is feisty, ferociously funny, and a beloved member of the global horror community! She’s an actor, a horror film director, and the voices of Spider-Girl (Marvel Super Hero Adventures) and Vida (Super Monsters). Hailing from Mexico City, where she's known as “La Muneca Del Terror,” Gigi gained fans worldwide with her quick wit, infectious charm, and her mesmerizing timbre. (Her accent pairs well with two fingers of Casa Dragones.) Next time I drive the highways and byways of America, I want directions from Gigi Saul Guerrero!

Can we get Car/Bumper stickers so we can see other Wazers on the road while driving
When I see other Wazers on the map it is difficult to see them on the road. It would be good to acknowledge each other as this a community project. So some sort of Waze sticker would be good
47 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.

Please please please - add destination to map page
I can't tell you how many times I or friends have punched in a destination and started driving to the wrong location....because of inadvertently selected the wrong location or a location was typed in incorrectly. It would be sooooo helpful if the destination location were prominently displayed on the map display page. Maybe there's some setting or preference that I'm missing... and if there is, please let me know... but if there isn't, please implement this change that seems like a complete no-brainer.

Fix the bug that checks me into foursquare. Sometimes my Facebook friends show up & most of the time it wants me to spread the word.
Give foursquare it's own button again. It was much easier to check in to locations without having to go through Facebook.

Display route with toll and no toll
When navigating to a place, display on the map the route with tolls and the route with no tolls. Having to turn on and off the avoid toll to compare both routes is an extra step that can be eliminated when planning a drive.

Mark roads/routes safe for women travelling alone
I usually drive alone and as a woman travelling solo there have been some roads on which I have been somehow scared due to their lack of illumination/population nearby. I was wondering if you have ever thought about adding a feature that would flag roads safe for women travelling alone. For me, I would definitely feel safer knowing that the route is well lit/populated/does not go through dangerous neighborhoods and I wouldn't mind if it's not the shortest or quickest route as long as I feel safe. There would always be the option to choose if one wants to take…

Allow people to upload their own Waze profile picture (like their car) to get easily identified while driving...
Hi people. Please forgive me for my average English, I'm a French Waze user...
At the moment, the only way to display a picture when clicking on a Wazer is to link your Facebook account with your Waze client.
I guess that a lot of people (like me) don't want to link their Facebook profile with the Waze client or they don't own one.
My idea => Create a function on the Waze client to allow people to upload their own pictures.
The goal => When a Wazer is in the vicinity of your location, you can click on it…

Minecraft Vehicle
Dear Waze,
My name is Eva Lucia Giralt and I’m almost 8 years old and live in Brooklyn NY. I’ve been riding in my dad’s car since I was a baby and we always use Waze. My favorite vehicle avatars so far are the meow mobile and the woof wagon.
I would really love it if you could make a Minecraft vehicle avatar; maybe even a dog and cat version. I ask because the 1.19 update just came out for Minecraft and this would be a great time to make a new avatar to go with this update.

food place near me
while driving from vermont to NY, i asked for food in my area, we were still in vermont, it only showed food places 200 miles from our location, it would be great if it showed place within 20 miles of our drive, instead of 200 miles away.

Show distance covered and time passed while driving
It would be great if waze can display the time passed and the distance i covered in km or miles since i started driving when my app is running. This can be optional and the distance covered display can be turned on and off using settings.

Jewish Mother Voice
Waze needs a concerned, Jewish mother's voice to add to its collection of voices. Apart from existing voices, this voice will at random add comments like, "When are you going to drive to my house?", "Did you put on your seatbelt?", "When am I going to get to have grandchildren?" "Would it hurt you to slow down a little??" etc. This voice, would be known as "the voice" given it's superiority over other voices, giving Waze a personality millions of users could not resist as their daily companion.

Rapid battery drain and sudden shutdown after iOS 10.x updates. Removing Waze fixes the issue.
After the rollout of iOS 10x my iPhone started crashing once the battery discharged to 30% ~ 40%. After much experimentation, I found that removing Waze fixes the problem. I've been using Waze for years and have recommended it to friends. However I cannot accept the rapid discharge & sudden shutdowns.

Junction/Intersection numbers without active route
I drive on the motorway quite a lot and most of the time I know the way so I won't bother with setting a route.
However it would be great if, without a route being plotted, that Waze would display in the top left "Approaching XX junction"

Snow removal equipment
I was in Maryland during the recent blizzard. I was able to make the return drive to Pittsburgh on Monday. The roads where clear, however road crews were doing snow removal on the shoulders, left and right. I found during my drive the crews were often on turns and had I had no warning to be able to change lanes for safe distance.
That's when I thought of a SNOW PLOW notification. It would include a left or right choice and on road or shoulder choice. Moving or stationary would be a choice too, but might be a bit much…
