Driver Safety Points: auto-reply to texts, speaker/bluetooth calls only, and speeding alerts.
It would be great if, when you signed into Waze, you were prompted to click on Driver or Passenger. If you are the driver, Waze puts the phone into drive mode, and it either auto-replies to texts with one of five pre-set messages (set up in settings), or it becomes completely voice activated, so it reads your incoming text aloud and allows you to respond via voice only (also set in settings per driver preference). Also, it alerts you to who is calling and allows you to only answer it via either speakerphone or bluetooth (or disregard and it…

Watch App/Motorcycle
Basic Navigation for watch, which would be especially useful on motorcycle. Screen only needs distance to turn and direction of turn. Haptic notice of upcoming turn would be nice as well, but not required. Do not need a map, do not need lots of information, should be a quick glance when safe to do so, if more information is needed, pull over and use the phone.
3 votesThank you for your suggestion! We are currently not planning on adding support for Watches or other wearable devices.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s blog and social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
Abbility to report start & end of SPECS.
SPECS cameras operate as sets of two or more cameras installed along a fixed route that can be from 200 metres (660 feet) to 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) in length.[3] They work by using an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system to record a vehicle's front number plate at each fixed camera site. As the distance is known between these sites, the average speed can be calculated by dividing this by the time taken to travel between two points.[4] The cameras use infrared photography, allowing them to operate both day and night.

Support event driven notitfications to zapier or ifttt
It would be nice Waze could attach to other systems with events via for example zapier and/or ifttt. Events that I think of:
Starts navigation to 'lat/lon' (bookmarkname)
Arrives at destination
Is in traffic
Shares route
Is 1 hours, half hour, 15 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes away from its destinationLogs drive (from/to, starttime/endtime, distance traveled, (compressed) gpx attached.
This way everybody could easily make rules like
log {all} journeys to a google spreadsheet.
Or share my drive easily on facebook, twitter, etc.
Or, when I go {home} between {16:00} and {19:00} share that drive with {spouse}.
Or, when…

Rettungsgasse / Rescue Lane - Reminder while traffic jams
In Germany and most European countries, you are supposed to form a rescue lane whilst being in a traffic jam on a highway/Autobahn.
This emergency corridor is always between the very left lane and the one next to her, so all cars need to move to the very left / very right on those lanes, making enough space to let emergency vehicles through.
After several incidents where people died after emergency services being stuck in the traffic jam, the German government wants to increase the sentence on ppl not making space for the rescue lane.My Suggestion:

Restroom
Allow us to alert waze that we need to stop for a restroom and have it display (while still en route) the next closest stops, how far they are, how far off the route. This would especially help when on a long stretch of highway where there is no hope in sight for a bathroom break.
5 votesWaze allows for adding a stop on the route. By simply typing “Toilet” or “Restroom” in the search field you’ll get the needed results nearby.

Proximity Call
Always when I am arriving at my destination, I make one call phone for a person wait for me from a particular distance or time. So, I'd like to suggest that Waze implement a Proximity Call that automatically does phone calls to a registered number in my contacts.

Add speed-based volume ramping
When at highway speed Spotify/audio can be at full volume, when coming to a slowdown the audio will automatically decrease in volume.
This can help drivers be more alert of their surroundings at intersections and when exiting highway traffic.

Improve carplay layout
Alerts 500m before the event is to early in big cities with traffic. On the carplay when there is a alert the ETA does not appear. So in big cities with frequent alerts i never see ETA. My suggestion is change layout and keep ETA on the screen when alerts are on. Tks.

*NEW* hazard notification for roadkill
Dear my WAZE PPL
First, I want to thank waze for creating such an outstanding navigation tool that helps so many drivers stay informed and safe on the road. I truly appreciate how the app continuously evolves to meet the needs of its users.
I’d like to suggest a potential improvement to the “Hazards” feature. While the current options, such as “Objects on Road,” are helpful, I believe there’s an opportunity to make the app even more informative and user-friendly by adding an alert specifically for roadkill or deceased animals on the road.
In my area, it’s common to encounter…

I received an update for Waze.
I received a Waze update. Now Waze cuts out my music every time an alert occurs which requires me to reach over to my console to turn it back on. This happens every time an alert occurs. Please fix

Alerts based on Route
Since Waze has the ability to track your trips I came up with this.
Lets say you drive to work everyday. You know their are 5 Speed Cameras, 4 Construction Zones and 6 Potholes. Waze should automatically disable it's alerts if you are familiar with the Route.
Lets say it disables it when Waze knows you have been on the same Route for at least a week.
Now if for example later on in the future there is a new Construction, or SpeedCamera installed on the same route it alerts you since it's new.
This would eliminate the…
