1. Option to not display the 'route summary' screen when starting navigation.

   Having selected a destination on the map and choosing to navigate to that destination, a 'summary' screen is currently being displayed before navigation commences, requiring the user to accept the route prior to navigation starting.
   An option to bypass this screen and start navigation immediately after selecting a destination would be a nice addition.

2. A few user stories for supporting BEV / electromobility in Waze

   Dear Wazers,

   I have been using your product far before "the Google times." When I first downloaded Waze, the road to my home was not "Wazed-paved" yet, so I had to pave it myself :). Anyway, that's not what I'm writing you about. I want to extend a request to you through a few user stories, which would significantly enhance my electromobility driving experience. I hope you're already thinking in that direction, and we'll see enhancements for BEV (battery-electric vehicles) soon.

   There're plenty of elecromobile-specific apps, but Waze is my current choice for a guidance app. As such, I am suffering because I need to switch back/forth from Waze to another app when it comes time to plan a long drive.

   If you would like to enhance our experience with Waze easily, you could partner with the two most powerful solutions, PlugShare and abetterrouteplanner.com (of course, if they agree). But I think you're big enough to believe in enhancing your app by yourself and giving us the functionality to fulfill our e-mobility needs.

   I took the liberty to draft a few user stories, which I can find very useful. Although all of them will give excellent functionality to Waze, the first one is the most important, which would position Waze as the first massively used navigation software which incorporates proper functionality for e-mobility. I hope you have plans to win this market even better.

   In any case, here're the stories. Each story has a justification/overview to it.

   As a user, I need to see charging stations on the map so that I can plan my travel accordingly

   This one is the "mother of all e-mobility" stories. Of course, it's so big that it's easily epic, but shortly said, we, the users, need a way to see the charging stations on the map.

   The distinguished properties of each charger on the map should be like those below:

     name: "Awesome charger" # The name of the charging station, user free-form
     owner: "EVPoint" # the charging station owner
     description: "Please use our apps, available at our home page https://evpoint.bg/, to activate the charger."
     max-power: 150 # the maximum power, in kW, of the whole station. Sometimes people use only this parameter to judge the power delivery speed, but often it's necessary to have granulation per socket.
     connectors: # Lists all charging connectors available at the station. This is a good reference for it: https://evcharging.enelx.com/resources/blog/552-ev-charging-connector-types
       - CCS2: # CCS2 charging connectors at the station
           - count: 2 # two CCS2 charging connectors
           - max-power: 75 # 75 kW max power each
       - CHADEMO: # Chademo connectors at the station
           - count: 1 # one Chademo connector
           - max-power: 50 # 50 kW max power 
   

   The description might seem optional, but without it we will need a place to know the URL from which we will access the charging app. Usually, most of the manufacturers have their specific apps. So any particular data on how to access the station services is put in this field.

   A very important part of this functionality is the filters. When a BEV travels a long distance, we usually use the fact DC-chargers. These give us a charge for approx 100-150 miles (150-250 km) in 10-20 minutes. Most of these chargers are located near (or directly as part of) existing gas stations.

   As part of an MVP, I would accept the first four fields, with the ability to filter by max-power. However, an "MVP-2" stage with the connectors property, and the ability to filter by their type, will be a must since not all cars support all connectors. For example, a TESLA might have its own connector only, and my car has only CCS2 for DC charging.

   As a user, I would like to enter my BEV range so that Waze helps me plan longer rides

   This is a must if I could use Waze as my assistant for BEV travels. My vehicle has a range (let's simplify this for now - just a number of km or miles in my account).

   Based on this range, Waze could show me in a friendly way, directly over my travel map, where my coverage ends. Then I can zoom in, choose a suitable charging station, and plan my ride accordingly (see below). For this, Waze has to have support for more than one Stops (I think right now you allow only one stop, but even this would do, for an MVP, it's more than OK).

   As a user, I need better support for community-driven charging station data and status

   The community feedback is critical since the map is not yet saturated with chargers. Thus, having the ability to rate/comment on each charging station is a functionality that I use very often. When I plan my trip, I usually avoid chargers, where the community says "broken." And when a charger comes back online, the community is very fast to indicate this.

   The best way to leave feedback is to indicate if any user had a successful charging session. A simple Yes/No would do. The system can then calculate an overall rating per charger and display it in a Rating section. The written feedback from each user can also be displayed there (if there's such a given with the "Charge-successful/unsuccessful" rate).

   Dear Wazers,

   I have been using your product far before "the Google times." When I first downloaded Waze, the road to my home was not "Wazed-paved" yet, so I had to pave it myself :). Anyway, that's not what I'm writing you about. I want to extend a request to you through a few user stories, which would significantly enhance my electromobility driving experience.

5. Get directions from Map Coordinates

   Hi,

   My name is Adrian Șulumberchean and I am the developer of Map Coordinates Android App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sands.mapCoordinates.android&referrer=utm_source%3Dwaze_suggestion). Inside Map Coordinates, I used a "Get Directions" option which takes the user to a third party navigation app and navigates him to the chosen location.

   At the moment I use this url to open Google Maps Navigation: "http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=&daddr=45.1234,25.1234". Can you please also accept this url so that users will be able to navigate with any app they want?

   Kind regards,
   Adrian Şulumberchean

   Thank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze supports GPS coordinates as destination.
   Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

6. Android landscape

   When using my Galaxy Note 20 in Landscape mode, the orange notification button overlays the map orientation button on the screen (north up or direction up). When I try to mark a notification, the map orientation flips instead of bringing up the notification page.

7. Support event driven notitfications to zapier or ifttt

   It would be nice Waze could attach to other systems with events via for example zapier and/or ifttt. Events that I think of:

   Starts navigation to 'lat/lon' (bookmarkname)
   Arrives at destination
   Is in traffic
   Shares route
   Is 1 hours, half hour, 15 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes away from its destination

   Logs drive (from/to, starttime/endtime, distance traveled, (compressed) gpx attached.

   This way everybody could easily make rules like

   log {all} journeys to a google spreadsheet.

   Or share my drive easily on facebook, twitter, etc.

   Or, when I go {home} between {16:00} and {19:00} share that drive with {spouse}.

   Or, when destination is {volleybal} share drive with {team members}

8. Waze is mutting all sound of my Multimedia Central Android 4.4

   Team there is any way to Waze not mute all my sounds ? Normally 99% of the people listen radio / music when they are driving.... But if I'm hear music from radio, mp3, Spotify... and them i start Waze unfortunately he cut all sounds... Different of IGO and Google MAPs GPS programs, can this be fixed / ajusted ?

9. Arrival address size and displayed before arrival.

   Show arrival address sooner, maybe a block or two away, and also in larger type face... a much LARGER TYPEFACE. It is hard to read the address when driving so, is distracting and unsafe. There is a need to start looking at house numbers to know which side of the street the property is on. Thanks!!!

10. Plan for multiple routes using the map

    Planner is a nice feature. Though, there are times you want to visit a place and check out multiple routes before hand. Not just three generated routes. These routes I can change by touching a street and boom a new route shows up. This isn’t the same as adding a stop, it is more like Changing direction. I find that figuring out 5 different routes makes it interesting on driving that direction even though it may be longer. Then I save the route with a name. Then the next day I pick the route. Of course, Waze should still generate better routes, but now I can decide on what to choose.

11. Widget

    Too many tap to start navigation. Add a widget for vocal search of address.
    1 click to open widget, tell address.
    2 click to confirm destination (if more than one) 3 navigate.
    No annoying confirmation.
    Useful in taxi mode

12. Allow Preference for Open Road Tolling (no more "Exit Cash Lanes" directions)

    I'm getting very tired of being told to "Exit to Cash Lanes" only to be navigated right back onto the same tollway. Best I can figure, Waze is trying to avoid you getting a ticket for driving through open road tolling areas (at least here in northern Illinois on I-294) by telling you to exit to cash lanes, but there should be an option to tell Waze you have a transponder and are good to go for open road tolling (and the app will stop telling you to exit at every open road tolling area).

    The problem with just ignoring the prompt every time is that some exits are only accessible by going through the cash lanes, and if you failed to use the cash lanes, you miss the exit (which the app won't tell you until after you missed it).

13. Add "avoid side streets" option

    In certain neighborhoods, side street routes are unsafe and not necessarily faster than sticking with the main drag: nothing like having to wait with 3 of my fellow Wazers while an onstreet drug deal concludes in front of us (side street alternative route directed by Waze in NE DC). Or maybe just add "Drug deal in progress" to the notifications?

14. Add a delivery mode

    People who work in delivery have Waze connected to the company's app that sends the location of every delivery destination to Waze. They go to dozens of destinations every day. Every click counts and it would be useful to have a mode in Waze where there is no need to TWICE confirm the route every time I start a new one. After switching to "Delivery nice" Waze would show the navigation to the destination (coordinates sent from other app) straight away. Thanks.

16. Directions w/o Hazards/Alerts

    Please add an option for spoken directions without alerts. I want to hear directions without knowing about every roadkill and pothole on the highway. If possible, providing the ability to select which alerts to hear would be even more helpful! (I.e. police, traffic, and construction alerts)

17. Speedometer disappears on Android alAuto

    Speedometer and speed limit disappears randomly on Android Auto.

    Sometimes the problem can be solved by stopping, and changing zoom level by buttons that appear in place of the speedometer. This is not a GPS issue, as navigation works fine at the same time.

    Seems to be triggered by Android Auto started after Waze, or Android Auto restarted when Waze is running (head unit restarts when I start the engine). But I'm not 100% sure.

18. Waze needs a 4th option under Sounds - "Directions Only"

    Waze has always talked a little too much and now it's talking even more. They need a 4th setting under "Voice and Sound". Right now, we get Off, Alerts Only, and On. We need one between Alerts Only and On called "Directions Only". I don't want to know about railroad tracks. I don't want to know that my route is 23 minutes faster than some other route. I don't want to know that my route is similar to other routes. Just give me the fastest route, take me there, and talk as little as possible while keeping me from getting lost.

19. reports of "Missing bridge overpass"

    As I am editing maps I see a lot of user reports of "Missing bridge overpass".
    
    Usually, there is nothing I can do about the report because I don't see any sign of a Missing bridge overpass anywhere nearby.
    Sometimes I can tell that the road has an intersection that should be an overpass with no intersection and I can fix that.

    I suggest that there are three major categories of things needing to be reported:
    1) immediate traffic problems due to movable objects.
    a) traffic problems
    b) hazards
    2) long term problems due to changes in permissible traffic
    a) location and types of roadways
    b) allowed turns and traffic direction
    3) points of interest (can sometimes effect traffic flows) landmarks

    I am torn as how to best handle some things like roadways with underpasses with limited clearance and bridges with speed limits.

    In any case, cases requiring changes in long term traffic flow (map errors) need to be clearly distinguished from reports requiring immediate action due to road work, wrecks, traffic jams, traffic lights out, or other 'traffic problems' and 'landmark needed' reports.

    The client should make sure that the user understands how to report particular problems so that every UR is informative and useful.
