Are you in traffic?
When the system asks if you are in traffic?? you can answer yes or no. For the amount of times that you have stopped for a coffee or gas and there is no traffic...instead of the system assuming you are and then saying that "First street" is at a standstill...make the automatic answer no, then if we are we can answer yes. I think this will reduce the fake high traffic areas people complain about

Remove the "Thanks!" message and make it easier to stop navigation
Make it easier to stop navigation. An visible X or similar in the edge of the map. I have had trouble finding the stop navigation button after sending an alert because the "thanks.you helped other wazers" message because it doesn't go away and i cant even see the lower panel for arrival time!

Exit Waze when disconnecting from Apple CarPlay
I love Waze for longer journeys, using it with Apple CarPlay. But I don't need it for popping to the shops - i.e. most daily journeys.
However the App starts up on my phone every time I get in the car regardless, and then continues running even after I get out. It really drains my phone battery. I have to remember to close it manually. I can't find a way to stop this behaviour - it is a real pain.
I'm sure it wasn't always like this, but this means I have had to disable Waze on my CarPlay setup.

In motorcycle mode make all choice options timed so they go away without need to press an option (not possible while riding, or in gloves)
New route available options make Waze useless on a motorcycle. They cover the speedo and cannot be selected without stopping, removing glove and pressing a choice. I had to stop three times today. I have a bluetooth controller on the bike but that seems to get disabled when these announcements appear so stopping is the only option. I am using the motorcycle mode with motorcycle selected as my vehicle.

speed camera alert closer to the speed camera
the alert is happening 400m from the camera, sometimes there is an intersection before the camera that you may stop at and by the time you get going again you may of forgotten about the camera. listening to the news or music may distract from the warning, when you finally get that 400m down the road. a second alert 50m from the camera, speeding or not, would be greatly appreciated.

Zoom Feature in Android Auto
The Android Auto version should have zoom enabled all the time (like in the native software), and not just when the car is stopped. This will make navigation much easier, esp when transitioning from highway to city or residential streets.

Put the avoid freeways option on the route page. Stop hiding it.
Avoid Freeways option needs to be moved to the routes page. Make it as easy for us to change as the avoid tolls is.
Right now you have it buried and it takes a few clicks to get to it. And we all know that Waze does not give alternative routes UNLESS Avoid Freeways is turn off.

Needs to show last updated time of reports
The app is great, but it needs some new features, such as showing the time of last updates. Stopped cars or police reports must show the last time update or how long ago they were reported.

Add a route option for least the stress
There’s route options for shortest time or shortest distance. I’d like to see a route option that would be less stressful (I.e it may take longer but you’ll have less traffic, less stoplights, stop signs, etc.)

Stop Drive button when pressing back button in android
I hope this email finds you well. As an avid user of the Waze app, I appreciate the features it offers for navigation and traffic updates. However, I'd like to suggest an improvement to the user interface that could make the navigation experience even more seamless.
When using Waze in "explore mode," there is no blue route line, which is great for browsing the map and selecting destinations. However, when a route is started and the app switches to "navigation mode," pressing the Android OS "arrow back" button only offers two options: "cancel" or "shutdown". While I understand there are…

Add a Help feature for people that are in trouble
Add a feature, where if a different wazer needs help, changing a tire, or needs any other kind of help, they should be able to report it on the map, so that anyone else in the route could stop by and help them.

Why is waze demanding my date of birth?
Waze displayed a screen demanding my date of birth while I was driving and using it for navigation. This screen cannot be closed and reappears when Waze is restarted. I consider this both an unwarranted invasion of privacy and more importantly HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE of your programmers to make this occur while the app is in use in a moving vehicle. I have used Waze for many years and recommended it to many friends and colleagues. I am now however being forced to stop using Waze unless I comply with this unwarranted data demand.

Program a way to pause Wyze when one is taking a deliberate detour. For example you plan a drive, on the way you decide to take a detour
Program a way to pause or stop Wyze while you are driving, using a voice command. Do this so you can stop or pause Wyze while driving and not have to touch or look at screen.

Notification for gas stations rest erea text erea
It's happening that you run out of gas and you miss the gas exit.
You want to stop by the rest erea and you miss the resting erea exit.
You want to stop to text and you miss the texting erea.
A lot of the times when you see the exit sing it's to late to stop.
Waze should have the option for a pop up notification a mile or 2 before.
Also a lot of the times you have to get off the highway to fined the gas station so you should be able to click on exit and…1 vote -
