Convoy
Convoy Feature
A set of features to allow a group of travellers to monitor/follow each other via the Waze App. Many holiday makers, but also clubs & professional organisations often need to travel together, and need to be able to track & monitor that the "convoy" members remain together, and is up to date on the latest location, destination, as & when things may change or issues may arise.
Up to 6 Wazers can enable "participation" (location sharing) with a "Leader" that would invite them to join a "convoy".
Each Wazer can then see/monitor the other vehicles & leader, and be sure to follow the same path/direction as the leader.
Within the MAP View the 5 other Wazers would be visible as small icons on the map( depending on zoom)
Each wazer would see the path/route to the "Leader" as default (top of the list), but could select any member of the "convoy" if needed (perhaps they are lost or have an issue) which would then display a path/route to that wazer.I could see this being used by casual users, clubs & prefessional organisations.

Voices preview and favorites
I've noticed a few things that could be improved: 1. why not preview the voice directions before we choose one.
2. instead of scrolling through the voices all the time why not have a favorite option to add which ones you like and change between them easier.2 votes -
Move the Incident Timeline to the Main Navigation Screen + Live Position Indicator
Place the full incident timeline directly on the main navigation screen and add a live vehicle marker showing the user’s exact position on the time-based route bar. This lets drivers instantly understand where they are within the timeline, what hazards are coming next, and how far they are from each report — all without leaving the main map.

Speed Lines
Hello, we have "speed lines" in Pennsylvania, among 9 other states, where police can setup nearby and measure your car when it crosses one line in the road and then the time it takes for it to cross a second line a short ways down the road to measure speed. It is called Vascar. Could you add a "speed line" option for the app to keep track of these when encountered by Wazers?

Include traffic signal count on route summary.
For “short” routes or re-routes, include count of traffic signals. During peak periods, a longer route may be preferable with less signals, which have the potential for delay if even no delay exists at the time of route calculation. The definition of short is arbitrary and could be decided by the devs based on utility vs performance.

Create an emergency vehicle option.
An option dedicated for roadside assistance/ fire/ EMS present on a roadway would be ideal.

Timeframe for the toll highway
it would be nice to add the ability to choose the time when the toll highway can be used to calculate the route. Sometimes there are promotions for the tool highway

Feature Suggestion: “Group Ride / Buddy Mode” for Safer and More Connected Travel
To the Waze Team,
Good day! I am a longtime Waze user, and I truly appreciate how your app continues to innovate in keeping drivers safe and informed. I would like to suggest a new feature that I believe would greatly improve the experience of many users, especially those who travel together.
I would like to propose a “Group Ride Mode” or “Buddy Mode” where users traveling as a group such as friends, families, and motorcycle convoys can see each other in real time directly on the Waze map. Many riders and drivers often travel together, and having this integrated feature would bring a big advantage in terms of convenience and safety.
Below are the features that I believe would make this mode extremely useful:
Proposed Features for Group Ride / Buddy Mode
Real-Time Location Sharing
Show the live position of each group member on the Waze map using icons or initials.Distance Gap Indicator
Display how far each buddy is ( “350m behind,” “1.2 km ahead”).Re-route Notifications
If a member takes a different route, the group receives a small alert such as:
“Alex re-routed now 2.1 km away.”Group Voice Chat (Push-to-Talk)
A simple walkietalkie style voice feature for quick updates during the drive.Group ETA Comparison
Show the estimated time of arrival for every member to help coordinate stops and arrival times.Battery Level Indicator
Notify group members if someone has low battery to avoid surprises when someone drops offline.Speed Status Sync (Privacy-Safe)
Show simple speed indicators like: Stopped, Slow, Normal, Fast (no exact speed numbers needed).“Regroup Alert” Button
Allows one member to send a signal to the group to slow down or meet at the next stop.Privacy Controls
Group access via invite link or code only.
Option for members to switch to invisible mode anytime.Emergency/SOS Ping
A quick SOS button that alerts all members if someone stops unexpectedly or needs assistance.
Why This Feature is Valuable?
- This feature would be especially helpful for:
- Motorcycle groups and riding clubs
- Family convoys during long trips
- Friends traveling to the same destination
- Delivery riders working in teamsIntegrating this into Waze would make group travel safer, more organized, and more enjoyable, while also setting Waze apart from other navigation apps that currently don’t offer this level of real-time group coordination.
Thank you very much for your time and for continuously improving the Waze experience. I hope you consider this idea, as many users like me would benefit greatly from its addition.

Southpaw mode for UI layout
Have a toggle to mirror the layout of buttons on the screen in CarPlay. My vehicle has a wide display which puts the hazard button far away. In fact the buttons I use the most are the furthest from me. Having a way to flip or even pick where UI elements sit would be great.

For the Love of Waze: A Real Driver's Plea to Stop the Trolls
I'm writing to you as someone who truly loves what Waze is supposed to be: a community of drivers helping each other out. But that spirit is dying, and it's because you're letting a handful of trolls ruin it for everyone else.
We've all seen it: phantom police cars that vanish into thin air, imaginary traffic jams on empty roads, and the completely absurd "icy road" warnings during a summer heatwave. It’s gone from being a funny quirk to a serious problem. It’s not just annoying anymore; it’s making us lose trust in the app we once relied on.
We, the honest drivers, are tired. We need you to step in and give us the tools to fight back. Here are a few common-sense ideas:
A Simple "Trust Score" for Everyone.
This doesn't need to be complicated. If your reports are helpful and people confirm them, your hidden trust score goes up. If your reports are constantly flagged as false, your score plummets. It’s that simple.Real Consequences for Trolls.
A bad trust score needs to mean something. Put them in a "timeout corner" where they can't report for a day. If they keep doing it, give them a week off. And for the worst offenders who just want to watch the world burn? Kick them out for good.The Biggest Fix: You Must Be THERE to Confirm.
This is a huge one. Right now, a liar's friend can confirm a fake report from his couch miles away. That's insane. Please, make the "It's There" button dead unless a driver's GPS shows they are right on top of the report. No physical presence, no vote.Use a Little Common Sense in the App.
Your system has all the data. Use it!
Does a "standstill traffic" report make sense when your own data shows other Wazers flying by at the speed limit? Of course not. The system should automatically flag and remove it.
An "icy road" report when it's clearly summer? Come on. Block those reports automatically when they make no logical sense.
Please, listen to your community. We are the ones on the road every day trying to make this work. We want to help you clean up the app and bring back the Waze we all loved and trusted.Sincerely,
A Driver Who Still Hopes.I'm writing to you as someone who truly loves what Waze is supposed to be: a community of drivers helping each other out. But that spirit is dying, and it's because you're letting a handful of trolls ruin it for everyone else.

A Harry Dresden voice pack
I'm a big fan of the Dresden Files books, by Jim Butcher. I have recently been enjoying the audio book versions. Most of the 17 books are available read by James Marsters.
I would really enjoy a Waze app voice pack, based on James Marsters portrayal of the Harry Dresden character. (Maybe Jim Butcher himself would be willing participate)
I'm sure other Dresden Files fans would also.
Other characters from the Dresden Files, such as Molly Carpenter and Demonreach. Would be a bonus.
I think the female voice actors for Molly vary, but I'm pretty sure J. Marsters does the voice for Demonreach.Other celebrities I have thought of for potential voice packs; Robin Williams, James Earl Jones, & Jack Nicholson.

Personalized voice sidekick with street names
You could make personalized voice options for sidekicks with a second drop down box below for street name pronunciation using a already established voice option for the street names. For instance I could use the Now You See Me voice option for a sidekick with a British street name English option.

Average Speed Cameras - NZ
New Zealand NZTA is introducing Average Speed Cameras which will detect your average speed over a long distance.
Can we implement a feature that will not only show you the start and finish point of the speed trap, but also your average speed whilst you’re within it to ensure you aren’t fined.
Thanks team!

התראה על קבר צדיק בקרבת מקום (פיצ’ר אופציונלי)
שלום צוות Waze,
שמי אהרון בן אייש, אני בן 24, סיימתי את שירותי במג״ב, ואני משתמש באפליקציית Waze כמעט כל יום.
יש לי רעיון לפיצ’ר שיכול לעניין הרבה משתמשים, במיוחד בישראל ובעולם היהודי.הרעיון הוא להוסיף אפשרות התראה אופציונלית שתודיע לנהג כאשר הוא עובר בקרבת מקום של קבר צדיק או אתר רוחני חשוב.
האפליקציה תוכל לשלוח התראה קטנה, שתאפשר למשתמש לבחור אם הוא רוצה לעצור או לקבל ניווט למקום כדי להתפלל או להשתטח.כמובן שהאפשרות תהיה אופציונלית בלבד, ותכובד בחירתו של כל משתמש אם להפעיל או לבטל אותה.
לדעתי, הרעיון הזה מתאים מאוד לרוח של Waze, שנולדה כאן בישראל, ויכול להוסיף נגיעה תרבותית ורוחנית יפה לאפליקציה.
תודה על ההקשבה ועל כל מה שאתם עושים כדי לשפר את חוויית הנהיגה שלנו.
בברכה,

Showing the average speed on the trip
When a driver enters an average speed check zone, Waze could display both the legal speed limit and the driver’s current calculated average speed since entering the zone. Additionally, the app could show what the driver’s remaining average speed needs to be in order to stay compliant by the end of the zone.
Example:
“Average speed check zone — Limit: 90 km/h.
Current average: 95 km/h.
To stay compliant, reduce speed to 85 km/h.”2 votes -
