Incorrect mark spot
Sometimes when we encounter police or accident, it takes time to get to the phone and load the app to mark the spot. Most of the time, we mark it about 2 miles after the actual spot. I suggest to edit the mark forward or backwards to ensure accuracy. Also adding cancel button when adding the spot.

while travelling, what we need is real time alerts on our mobile and also on FM radio
I have 2 ideas to improve WAZE
While travelling, the passenger vehicle driver needs alerts on his/her mobile and also on FM radio, This can be made possible by tapping the mobile numbers of the drives when they start travelling. As soon the vehicle engine is started, via blue tooth the driver mobile numbers should get integrated with the passenger vehicle GPS system. This will enable drivers to get automatic alerts w.r.t to traffic jams, accidents etc. The radius of the alerts should be sent to vehicles which are in the radius of 1-2 miles. Km as this will enable…

Please extend the over speed alarm tone as it is too short when using bluetooth phone connect setting
When using "Bluetooth Phone" connection on Audi the connection time is so long that the short overspeed alarm tone is not played over the car speakers, all that happens is the cars entertainment system is turned down and dead air is played.

use Iphone screen to display speedometer/speed limit when in carpay mode
When in apple carplay mode, use the iphone screen to display the speedometer/speedlimit in full screen. Pehaps as a third tab next to the directions, notifications tab. With the phone in a cradle close to the steering wheel this avoids having to glance to the far right of the main car screen to see the actual speed limit.

Turn On/Off Avoid Freeways in CarPlay
Would like a way to toggle on/off avoid freeways in CarPlay. When driving locally many times I would prefer to avoid freeways even if technically they are a little closer/faster. It would be helpful to be able to do this on CarPlay rather than having to open the navigation settings on the phone.

Vibrate Notifications
Give the user the option to turn-on "vibrate notifications" in addition to voice. Many times when driving I am distracted talking to a passenger or listening to the radio and miss a turn.
It would be great if my phone would also vibrate. I would like to have this option for police notifications as well.
If this were an option, then those that don't want vibrate notifications don't have to use it.9 votes -

Update AES location in Toronto
Suggest update all AES location in Grate Toronto Area. There is 50 AES camera set up in GTA area and cause lots of issue. It would be good if Waze able to notify user camera is near by and reduce the speed.

keep screen on
on the Iphone version, when i had the app active, it kept the screen on. with the latest version it doesn't do it any more. it makes it harder to report something when you have to unlock your phone to access it. Also i had it sitting up so i could see the screen and now it locks and if i need to see where to turn, i have to unlock the phone.

Send a text message when delayed and/or shortly before arriving
Waze can send twitter-messages, but with the new APIs in iOS4 it could send textmessages (SMS) as well. When entering a destination for routing, one could also select a mobile phonenumber (of the person we are driving to) so that significant delays are reported automatically to this person. Also, waze could send a SMS some minutes before arriving at the destination. This comes really handy when you want to pick someone up!
When I say "automatically" - I mean that Waze pops up a dialog that you only have to confirm.

Arrows to change lanes
it would be interesting to show the application in the phone display, arrows stating that he has to change lanes at one point to get into the next street, for example.

The "Keep Waze always on display" no longer available on Android phone (it worked for a while). Why is it gone? Google Maps allows this.
The "Keep Waze always on display" is no longer available on my Android phone (it was working for a while). Why is it gone? I want to see the navigation screen by waking up my phone but without having to unlock it (which is dangerous while driving). Google Maps does this, and Google owns Waze.

Let to use keyboard (as passanger) on Android Auto
As a user, I would like to have with Android Auto the same option as with Apple CarPlay to use the keyboard as a passenger.
Currently, while I'm driving with family f.e. on a highway in my country it's illegal to stop on the side of the road. So I'm not able to enter the destination address while in motion. My wife as a passenger has to plug out my phone from USB and enter it manually and plug it in again. It's just plain stupid. It's not even a security option if I have to use my phone to…

Missing an option do disable volume ducking of other apps
Using Android phone.
While driving, I listen often to audiobooks (or music) via bluetooth from the phone.
Waze is configured to play the instructions via phone speaker.
When waze plays instructions, it forces ducking the volume of other playback. (starting a few seconds before til a few seconds after)
That's very impractical. Because of this behavior I miss the portions of sentences of the audiobooks. (That's meaningless, since I can regulate the volume of bluetooth playback and speaker playback independently.)
There needs to be an option disable audio ducking.
Thanks6 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Allow the user to copy and paste locations/directions
Why doesnt Waze mobile allow the user to copy and paste locations but instead creates a long and convoluted way to send directions to others or copy them for sharing. Other apps like google maps allows a one click copy to clipboard to share. It should be that simple, i cannot ever share the location with anyone because it creates a link for people. Why a link, just copy the directions only. Im surprised its not a part of the app already.

Background version of waze to voice alert on speed cameras when routing suggestions is not needed
In most of the cases you know the driving route and you don't need waze for suggesting routes. but it's very helpfull to get voice alert on speed cameras on the way.
I suggest to take that feature in waze and make it a standallone version that runs in the background (without the need to open it, or to display path, progress etc' which is battery consuming).5 votesYou can turn Waze to Alerts Only mode and keep app in the background – audio notifications about upcoming alerts will be provided.

Enhanced Visual Warning for Speed and Red-Light Cameras
I would like to propose an additional visual alert system for speed and red-light cameras within Waze. The idea is to introduce a transparent red overlay that flashes on the screen as drivers approach a camera location.
This feature would serve as a strong visual cue, especially for users who may not always be actively looking at their GPS display or listening to audio directions. The flashing overlay would draw immediate attention and help ensure drivers are more aware of upcoming enforcement zones.
To keep the experience user-friendly and adaptable, I recommend that this alert be offered as an…
