Being able to report an incident from anywhere
I would like the ability to report an incident from anywhere on the map. i.e. If I am driving down the road and I see an accident, but because I am driving, I am not able to report it at that moment. If I pull up to a red light, I would be able to zoom in on the map on the app and report it. I have tried to do this before, but, I just wound up reporting an accident of where I currently was instead of where I was zooming in on the map. I believe this is…

Have an option to adjust the maximum speed limit to account for company speed limits. Working for Hallcon, I can only drive 55 mph at night
Have an option to adjust the maximum speed limit to account for company speed limits. Working for Hallcon, I can only drive 55 mph at night on a two-lane road, 65 mph during the day on a two-lane road, and a maximum of 70 mph for any road. I would like to be able to put this in settings, so that Waze can come up with a better route and ETA for me. I do not like being sent down two-lane roads at night going 55 mph when I could be going down a highway at 67 mph, and could…

Bring Back Apple Car Play Microphone
PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE restore the microphone for use with Apple Car Play!!! I rely on this to get directions while driving - as I am certain countless others do as well - and it is a huge inconvenience not having it anymore. I bet you to please restore it!!!!

Make map chats into a full messaging feature.
Map chats usually pop up and then disappear after a while, leaving no trace. I would like to be able to get back the chats I receive and respond to them later when I'm not driving. This would increase the 'socialness' of Waze and maybe even lead to making new friends on the road.

Plan a drive when location is not valid
Waze is totally not usable when location is not available, this is now happening very often due to GPS spoofing/jamming. It would be nice to still use the app (ie: plan a drive, see the roads status etc)

A "see whole map" mode via an on-screen button that allows the switch between "driving" and "driving somewhere"
I just want to be able to see the whole map as I’m driving. As of now. the Map Initiation function takes up 1/2 the screen.
An on-screen button would be perfect to toggle to see the whole map as I’m driving and maybe I could use the same on-screen button to get back to Map Mode?1 vote -
Route choice
Hello, would it be possible to add choices of route type, for example shortest or fastest. Cause now it's not clear how he tries to lead us and lately it seems it's not logical at all. For example, I was driving through Autobahn in night, where I can drive on 140km/h but waze taught it would be a great idea to change this route to a small forest road that has a 30 km/h speed limit with bumps on road.

Shortcut for reporting hazards, when not in app.
Feature request for non drivers:
a homescreen shortcut (or floating bubble) for adding road hazards, for non drivers. Currently, the phone auto closes the app after inactivity.
The time it takes to reopen the app and navigate to the 'add hazard' panel means there is a delay in posting information, causing the location of the info to be incorrect. Sometimes even dozens of meters later.
If I had some floating window, homescreen shortcut or gesture shortcut directly to report a hazard, it will appear more correct.
I do this during long drives (not a driver), to make roads safer, since…1 vote -
Change the name of follow my drive menu category
When I want to share my drive, I have to go to menu - Send - Share my drive.
The menu category should be called "share drive" or something other than "send". Most people see it and say "send... send what?", and don't get it. A more descriptive name on that menu would help.

Make Waze carpool work also for drivers who drive more than 100 kilometers.
First I thought this was a bug., but...
As it was clearly explained to me by Waze support, Waze carpool does not work for drivers who make long rides, and Waze has no intention of fixing it.
Waze carpool only match with passengers which have similar characteristics of the ride .
This is proven easily. The shorter the ride you plan, the more passengers you have, on the same route.
I suggest allowing picking passengers at any spot on the way and doping them at any spot on the way.2 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Add address numbers when arrived
Need to add address (number and street) when on final street instead of saying "you have arrived at your destination". Uber and Lyft drivers use waze and need to know address. We look at mail boxes as we drive down the street. Sometimes the x is not in the same location as the address but we can't see the address.
Thank you for your consideration.16 votes -
Notifications - Moving modal and/or providing users with ability to "X" out of notifications
In Apple Carplay, Waze notifications pop up and push the directions modal into a small bar with no information except what kind of turn and how far away it is. It removes the worded directions and has made me miss my turn plenty of times. There is no option to "X" out of the notification, only answer "Still there" or "Not still there", but what if I haven't reached the area yet so I can't accurately answer the prompt but need to see my directions? As someone who drives with the sound off in Waze, I'm requesting to provide users…

Ads too small to see while driving
Whenever I stop, an ad pops up on Waze. Of course I don’t want ads, but if you are going to do them make them much simpler and larger so the driver can read them. They are crowded with content and tiny which make them useless.

"Friend Driving" Notification Should Be Adjustable Based On Distance
I don't need Waze to tell me that my friends in New York City or Miami are driving when I am in Toronto, Canada (unless, I guess, if they have set a route to come to Toronto). Waze should allow us to specify how far away a friend can be that it will notify us of the fact that they're driving.

show public transportation routes
We're in a climate crisis and everybody should drive less when there are alternatives available.
Waze should help with that by suggesting Public Transportation or bicycle routes when selecting a destination, when those routes are viable alternatives (don't bother showing a 3h bus route for a 10 min drive).
This could be similar to Google Maps and use the same data.
Just by showing that there are alternatives, the user might be tempted to try them.
This might be specially useful when driving in cities that have car restrictions, dedicated bus lanes or good bicycle infrastructure that rivals congestion, where…9 votes -
“See your friends on the road — drive together, even when apart.”
Idea:
Add a new feature in Waze that lets users add friends and see each other’s live location directly on the Waze map — similar to Snapchat’s Snap Map or a GTA V online lobby.
How it works:
Users can add friends through usernames, phone numbers, or QR codes.
Once connected, you can see your friends’ cars moving live on the map while they’re driving with Waze.
You can tap a friend’s icon to get ETA to their location or message them (“on my way”, “meet here”, etc.).
Privacy controls let users choose who can see them (e.g. “Visible to…2 votes
