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

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 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.

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.

reporting vehicles on the side of the road
when reporting a vehicle on the side of the road, if the "vehicle stopped" icon were on the second screen and not buried, would be safer. 5 user inputs vs. a possible 3 - less time looking away from the road and at the map/device

Give us the option to keep depereciated icons\voices
Please can you stop taking away the icons and voice that we like and just ask us if we want to pay something and just keep them, it costs you nothing once you've licensed the product\voice and I for one miss T-Pain but taking away my Ecto-1 is just a low blow Waze and I don't like that you're doing it without even giving us the option to keep it. you've made my Waze just that little bit worse today......

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.

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.

Any alternative to Not There?
Any alternative to asking drivers if police is still there or not?
It’s risky:
1. Distraction while driving.
2. Police might detain us using phone while reporting their presence.Similarly, asking if stopped vehicle is there or not. Risky.

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.

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 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.)

Never change my NON-TOLL route to a TOLL ROUTE without my explicit permission
We are on an extended road trip. We EXPLICITLY told Waze to avoid TOLLS. As you are driving along, Waze will pop up and suggest going the toll route because it will be faster, albeit, more expensive. If you don't happen to see the pop up and don't select "No Thanks", Waze WILL SWITCH IT AUTOMATICALLY to the TOLL ROUTE. If there's another setting to stop that, I haven't discovered it yet. You SHOULD NEVER EVER change my route just because it's faster without my explicit permission to do so.

Stop Wazers reporting Police when a Camera is already there
Please stop Wazers from reporting Police when a Camera is there. It often hides the Camera Icon and of course there are no Police which is very confusing. Sometimes there are a number of Police Icons at the location!

More direct routes for emergency response services and fire hydrant locations.
Hi, I propose you look into a toggle option for navigation for emergency services organizations that completely ignores traffic regulations, stop signs traffic lights etc..
Emergency services need to take the fastest route while ignoring speed limits, traffic lights & signs.
It would be very helpful to have a navigation that made more direct routes that completely disregard these things and give you the absolute fastest route.
Also, it would be awesome if there could also be a toggle option to show fire hydrant icons / locations for firefighters.4 votes -
