I need help to find out why my normal route is not given us an option anymore.
For whatever reason a couple of days ago my normal option is now not given us a route when I go to navigation. I'm not sure what happened, or if there was an update. I am not happy anymore.

re-routing
I want to have better re-routing options available. If I miss a turn, I would like the option to switch my route if it has a similar ETA instead of having it try to re-route me back to my original route and adding up to 5 minutes to my ETA.

Giving them option driven one way to be able to drive that same route back to where you started from
When driving to one city or town a specific route that you were happy with the way it took you. So you want to drive those same roads back to your original starting point. Instead of getting a good route from point A to point B. But when leaving point B you get a bunch of lil side roads that seem to take long to get back to point A

White turning arrows
Hi.Great app but recent change is little bit confusing.I’m talking about white arrows at turns.At distance to the junction it’s not clear and instantly obvious which way you should go.Before your route was continuously of certain colour but now because turns are white specifically,it is less visible.If turns were of different colour then white or perhaps the same colour as the whole route,it would be easier to see it straight away “without looking “ if you know what I mean.One more suggestion-when you get one of the routes taking you across the river Thames using ferry service,route…

Search for food on my way
I want to see food that's ONLY in front of me an on my route. I don't care what's behind me. I want to search for Taco Bell and just see those ahead of me and close to my route. I'd also like to see all food ahead of me and close to my route. I NEVER care to turn around. That's against mans nature.

Distinguer routes de terre et routes goudronnées
Il serait bon de distinguer les chemins de terre et les routes goudronnées ou de rajouter comme type de véhicule 4x4, tracteur, camionnette ou camping-car; car Waze calcule parfois des itinéraires plus rapides en nous faisant passer par des chemins accessible seulement en 4x4 ou en tracteur. C'est dangereux et souvent on ne peut plus faire demi-tour. En plus parfois on ne gagne même pas de temps à avoir pris ce raccourci du coup! Il faudrait pouvoir faire un signalement "cette route n'est accessible que pour: et lister les types de véhicules différents"

Allow us to click on reports on the map and select "avoid" or "route me there"
We should be able to click on a report that we see on the map, and select an option on the go. If it's something you definitely don't want to deal with (construction, ice, etc.) you can click "avoid this" and the map would update your route to take another road. Or in my case, I seek out and provide free roadside assistance to any disabled vehicles, so I would like to see stopped vehicle reports on the map and be able to click "route me there" or "add this as a stop to my trip" so I can…

Can we please get speed limit data added to route previews? This is helpful for bike riders and motorcyclists. Seems like an easy add.
Speed limit data should be visible on the route map and preview. I am not referring to real time while driving speed limit (this exists and works great) rather when doing trip planning. For those of us with motorcycles or bikes we want to see the speed limit for a route.

Traffic congestion on Live Map is getting in the way of the blue line for the route.
I'm not sure how to post screenshots on this site but the orange line signifying traffic congestion is on top of the blue line for the route. I think it should be more on the bottom layer.

Make a Dynamic view that is 2D top-down but switches to 3D when following a route
The map view options currently include three settings: 3D (the "over the shoulder" view), 2D (top-down), and "Auto" which really seems to just be 3D all the time.
The "auto" setting should have the map set to be 2D when you're not following a route, sort of like the mini-map you see in some video games. Have it switch to 3D when you're following a route. This is the sort of behavior you see with dedicated GPS devices like the kind by TomTom and Garmin.

Route recalculation problem
Útvonal újratervezés esetén gyakran több kilométeres plusz útszakaszt tervez be azért, hogy vissza tudjon fordítani. Jó lenne ha jelezni, hogy minél előbb fordulj vissza. Ezt sok esetben szabályosan meg lehet tenni. pl. kapubeálló stb.

Stop auto refreshing and zooming back in when I am trying to zoom out and see all of the possible routes to my destination...
Stop auto refreshing and zooming back in when I am trying to zoom out and see all of the possible routes to my destination... Going from city to city there are different routes. I must zoom out to look at the path they take. ...but this app zooms back to my car location as soon as I zoom out. It makes picking the best route a blind guess instead of something better.

ask for the direction of the car before calculating the route
every driver had suffered from the common mistake WAZE makes while calculating a new route.
in a two way street WAZE doesn't always know to which way i'm facing, and the entire calculation is based on that direction (because let's face it - you're not so high on U-TURNS, unfortunately).
WHY WON'T YOU ALLOW THE DRIVER ANSWER (if needed) "to which way does your car face?"
it will improve time, calculation and driver's satisfaction!
PLEASE CONSIDER THAT SMALL YET HIGHLY HELPFUL FEATURE.
(you don't have to name it after me, just do it...)1 voteThank you for this suggestion.
Setting the car’s direction when starting the app and navigation is a known matter which will be addressed in the future.
There are many complexities in location tracking which cause this issue and hold us from providing a solution.
It’s currently on the back burner, but definitely a part of the backlog. -

New Driving Route

Wouldn't it be great to be able to exclude a freeway or particular road from your planned route?
I already summed it up in the title, you kids are the pros.. But I would love to have more options for routes and options to avoid a freeway or major thoroughfare.
Oh and just an irrelevant side note; that American woman's navigation voice, ug I can't listen to it. She sounds like your mean teacher from middle school- but the American guy is great.

Bicycle navigation and bike routes for waze!!! Please!!
Can you please add bicycle routes to the app and ways to avoid roads that go over a certain speed limit? The option to set your vehicle as a bicycle and find routes like that avoid high speed roads and roads that dont allow bikes conbined with all of the other great functions of the app will be fantastic...
But since you don't have the feature so many bicyclists won't get to navigate with your app and get the same benefits that car drivers have... I really need a navigator for bikers that shows the speed limits of…

avoid bus routes
I'd like to be able to route to avoid getting stuck behind a bus.
Waze could:
1. avoid roads that are bus routes during heavy traffic hours
2. "detect" when a wazer is probably stuck behind a bus -- prompt for "stuck behind a bus? reroute?"
3. see also my "choke buster" mode suggestion3 votes
