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…

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.

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.

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.

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…
4 votesThank you for your suggestion! We’re happy to hear you love our app and appreciate your ongoing support.
Waze will soon support Google Assistance voice control.

Voice waveform DESPERATELY needs to by modified
The voice starts out like a gunshot. Look at your waveform. It shouldn't start with a spike, but I gaurantee it does. It can be shocking. All quiet and then "In one mile, turn left" But it goes from silence to WAAAAY TOOO LOUD way too fast. It is an assault on the ear drum. By modulating the waveform ever so slightly, you could remedy this, but it's been like that as long as I have used Waze. There needs to be a few hundredth of a second of sound buildup so you don't give the driver a heart…

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 -
Please consider including voice directions in Hindi for millions of Indians.
Please consider including voice directions in Hindi for millions of Indians. I already see an option for Kannada (a southern Indian language), which is great.

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.

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.

Please make WAZE directions come over car speakers again.
My WAZE gave me perfect voice commands on my 2013 Cadillac XTS speakers via my Samsung S4. Now will not come over speakers. Frustrating and dangerous.

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.

Auto-restart app and continue navigation to last entered destination when crashed or shutdown unexpectedly
Hi,
Sometimes the app crashes for some reason. I would like Waze to auto restart the app (use an iOS/Android command like Skype that checks if the application is still running, if not, then start application)
The reason for the auto-restart is that I do not want to touch the device while driving. Especially when on a motorcycle.

Expose detailed route data on Web dashboard
It'd be great to have specific route times-of-day - not just duration. It would be very useful to compare routes, or the same route, over the course of the day. Perhaps I could learn when would be the best time to start my commute.

WAZE changing my usual route
I just wish WAZE would let me know the reason why it wants to change my usual route to something different. I was working 30 min away from home and one day it routed me in a different direction. Turns out, at the 20min mark was an accident and it had the traffic stopped. Just wish it told me the reason why.
