Add Soundcloud as one of the music player options to make a navigation voice and music pause a seamless driving experience
It would be nice if Soundcloud was added to the music player list. There's so many other options on there but that's only only one that's missing that commonly used. It would be nice if it was added so the music music can pause and resume or lower for navigation directions.

Police alerts should be added to voice alerts (in alert only mode)- this cost me a driving ticket!
In “alerts only” sound mode I do not get police notification, only Speedtrap (stationary traps) so dynamic user-generated police notifications are not notified- this cost me a speeding ticket -+ driving school last week!

Waze App - Create Own Preferred Route.
Hi.
It would be great, if we could create a Navigation Route based on our own personal drives. I usually (99%) drive the same route many times a week.
However, the app doesn’t recognise some directions i go and has to recalculate it. If, having the preferred route stored without any recalculating, it be a nice touch.
Thanks!

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…

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.

Police
Police alerts are helpful in many ways, the one thing that would help a bit more is if along with the alert there should be an indication of how much time has passed since the alert was posted. This feature is already available but only if you tap on an upcoming police alert icon in which you will see for example 10min ago on the top right corner, but it does not show in the alert that pops up as you drive....... Unless it is a construction site police are rarely in one spot for very long...... I feel…

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.

Route info on widget
Currently the widget displays time to work or home and gives some indication of the traffic conditions. I wish it would show something about which route it chose for that info without having to click the Drive! button.

Optimal Speed Suggestion
If there's a big traffic jam at a point 2/3 of the way to my destination, it may not help me get there on time if I drive at full speed or over the speed limit up to the point of the jam. Waze could set my suggested driving speed lower for a more even pace over the course of the trip. In some cases, a lower driving speed may help me conserve fuel (and thereby create a smaller carbon footprint) and if many drivers use this we may see safer roads as fewer people speed around rushing to…

View a larger area of the map on phone while driving.
Please give the option to view a larger area of the map while driving. When on auto-zoom it's really close and you cannot see the road at least a few miles ahead.

Replace usual "danger icon" by an icon with an image showing type of danger, easier to identify while driving
It should be an great idea to replace actual "danger icon" by different icons showing type of danger.
With actual one, we can identify a danger, that's great, but while driving, it is sometimes difficult to handle smartphone to identify danger origin.
"An image equal 1000 words", so just have a look on smartphone display is better than handle to recognize type of danger !8 votes -
Blue badge
Enable there to be a toggle where people in the UK can toggle blue badge which will enable users to drive through certain tolls for example with my blue badge I have certain tolls for free like congestion charge and I'm free to drive through blackwall and Silvertown Tunnels.

Calculate ETA based on own average speed
ETA calculation seems to be based on traffic conditions and general average speed. ETA calculation seems to be inaccurate when driving below the average speed of the road-segment as it keeps increasing while driving with constant (low) speed.
It would be great if ETA calculation would also be accurate for vehicles going below average speeds (e.g. trucks in europe etc.)

Browse Categories
When I used Apple Car Play, I could select catagory and then find nearby gas station, drive thrus, shopping centres etc. With Andriod Auto, I only have the option for nearby gas stations and I can't search for the other nearby categories such as drive thru resteraunt.

Make Waze continue running in background untill it is turned off
I use my phone for more than just Waze when I'm driving. Waze does not consistently run in the background when I switch to control another app (even when I'm driving on the highway at 65 mph). I'd really like to see an option in settings to keep Waze active until I manually exit. Alternatively, how about an option that keeps Waze active as long as my phone is in the car dock?
