Add a general route view to Waze in Android Automotive (AAOS) in cars with two screens available (similar to Google Maps for Android Auto)
Add the possibility to see the general route view in the main car screen, while having the navigation route view in the screen behind the steering wheel. In this way, it is possible to make use of the two screens in the cars - one showing the navigation, the other showing the overall route (as it is available on Google maps for Android Auto). Thanks

Add a warning at the beginning of a route, if there's an area we should avoid.
Every day I use Waze to drive to work. I could take either one of two basic routes. Waze usually says "let's take..." and then tells me which route to take. That helps me know which way to turn when I pull out of my driveway, but often Waze tries to make me go around the block before I can actually get started. Consequently, every morning there is confusion about what Waze is really trying to tell me. If Waze chose one route over the other because there's an accident or a major traffic jam on the other, why…

Proximity routing for Home/Work
Many people use waze on a daily basis as a way to avoid traffic. We know how to get home or to work, and sometimes our work places have multiple entrances. These entrances don't always trigger waze that you have arrived, so even once I'm in the building, suddenly I hear waze trying to route me through the office hallways from my pocket.....
A new feature called "proximity routing" that the user can enable for their "home/work" locations would take care of this problem. Once the driver gets close, waze would indicate you have arrived and go into sleep mode.…

Ability to report road closure with voice command
I would like to be able to report road closures without having to touch the phone since I always come across them unexpectedly and never have time to enter the report manually.
After straying from Waze's route I would like to be able to initiate a voice command and say "road closure" and have Waze take that to mean that I strayed from it's route because of a road closure at the point where I left the route.

Announce why WAZE is changing my route last minute. There are times she is right and times she is not. Tell me why example if there traffic
There are times WAZE tells me to change route and there is no reason to do so. Other times she is right to change but since she makes so many mistakes I continue on original route then find a 20 minute traffic back up. Just tell me with voice why I need to change by route.

Serait il possible de mettre le gabarit de notre véhicule ? ce qui permettrait d'optimiser les trajets notamment si la route est trop étroite pour notre véhicule (je parle par expérience)

Develop a report that shows the Historical Trend of number of reported incidents per day (time of day) on a specific route
I would like to ask the question, "Have the number of incidents reported along this route increased or decreased over the past year (decade, month, week)?" the corrolation is "What is the most common time of day (day of week, holiday weekend) for an incident to be reported on this route?

Personal speed limit for electric cars
As I recently done 800 miles with my zoe, I found that the fastest route is not actual fast.
Generally, best range can be achieved by keeping speed around 56 mph at motorway for an electric car.However, route optimisation has been done based on the top speed of the route unless there is a traffic.
Therefore, if we can have personalised top speed, we might different route.
5 votesGreat news! This feature is already available in Waze. It’s called Personalized ETA.
Personalized ETA setting is turned on in Settings – Navigation – Personalized ETA. Waze would analyze the drives you took in the past, calculate how long it took you to drive sections of the route, and compare this information with Waze’s estimates. Then, it uses this info to personalize your ETA whenever you search a route in Waze.
Important: Waze won’t analyze drives that you delete from your drive history. Deleting drives may disable Waze from personalizing your ETA until you take more drives.

Force Reroute Button
Many times i can see that the freeway/higway I´m about to enter is slow moving, and waze wants to route me into that sometimes even if there is reported trafficjams/heavy traffic etc on that road. A button on screen or easy accesssible (poosibly instead of the bulldozer) to force an alternative route would really help
69 votesAvailable on version 2.2 and on. To reroute, click on the green bar (after starting the route).
One of the options is to recalculate the route, i.e. force a reroute. -
Treat roads with RTC as routable pedestrian path
Right now, when trying to route to a destination on a closed road, it's pretty much like the road no longer exists and Waze will route to the nearest open road.
Sometimes, this means that users will be routed somewhere completely different, like to the middle of a highway, to the other side of a raildroad track into a completely different neighbourhood, etc.
Segments with RTCs on them should be treated as a routable pedestrian path: route the driver to the closest entry point.

Add option to avoid toll roads in certain countries
If a route spans across multiple countries, it would be nice to be able to tell Waze that I would like to avoid tolls in specific countries. For example if my route goes via three countries, I would like to avoid toll roads in Country 2 only, but still use them in Country 1 and Country 3.

Avoid a specific road or place as a one-off when planning a route
I know we've had posts from people wanting to a avoid a particular road they never want to use in the past but what about a one off option to avoid one during the planning phase?
I needed to navigate at the weekend and had been informed a few hours before of a road closure on the most ideal route, Waze didn't know about this and obviously I can't report it until I'm there, so I wanted to avoid a particular location and have Waze route me around it.
I was sure there was an "avoiding" option during the…

Rank gas stations by lowest detour from my route
Navigate me to a gas station that is on my way rather than a gas station that is nearest to my current location. That will be suitable for drivers that wants to pass through a gas station but it is not that urgent to them and just don't want to get off track too much that could stall them.
The closest overall might be 2 miles from my location, but Waze knows my route, the closest only might be behind me meaning a 3 miles away gas station might be a lot more reasonable option as the "added mileage…

Suggestion pour signaler les animaux morts sur la route
Bonjour,
Je souhaite vous suggérer une fonctionnalité qui serait très utile pour la sécurité des conducteurs : la possibilité de signaler les animaux morts sur la route, un animal est avant tout un être vivant et non un objet.
Dans ma région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, c’est un problème fréquent et cela représente un danger pour la circulation. Pouvoir avertir les autres conducteurs via Waze / Google Maps pourrait prévenir des accidents.
Merci de prendre en considération cette suggestion pour améliorer la sécurité de tous, et le respect de ces animaux.

One touch Highway/No Highway route recalculation
so that I can check and see if the highways are doing worse than the side streets, it would be great to have a one touch button after the routes are calculated to switch to no highway, let the routes recalculate and then if I want to switch back to highway

Modifier le position des indications de rues qui gènent la lecture de la route à prendre
Bonjour. Je suis un utilisateur de waze depuis quelques années, et je voudrais vous demander un modification sur vos affichages. Lors d'intersections (surtout en villes), vos affichages violets se superposent sur les routes/rues ou l'on doit aller... et sur beaucoup de croisements complexes ou multi rond-points, il est difficile de savoir la bonne route...
Je vous ai donc joint 2 images expliquant le souci, et une façon d'y remédier...
J'apprécierais que vous agissiez sur cette zone de visibilité afin d'éviter de prendre une mauvaise route faute d'affichage clair/
Merci. Cordialement1 vote -
CUSTOM ROUTES AND ALERTS IN APPLE CAR PLAY
I would like to record a custom route to an address and waze considers it in the calculation for the route. Often the routes provided are not the best, there are better routes. Customized routes saved by users who knew the best paths would be the most practical. At the end of the path, the user could save the path with some name. WAZE could put the same notifications that you have on your cell phone in the apple car play, such as prohibited via etc.
