Distance Ruler & Break Reminder
User Problem: When driving long distances, I want to visually see my current progress between two set break points so I can better plan rest stops and manage fatigue.
User Story: As a driver, I want to set a break interval (e.g., every 100 or 200 km), and see a ruler or progress indicator on my navigation map that shows:Where I am now
How far I’ve traveled since my last break
How much distance remains until the next suggested breakFeature Details:
Setting Behavior
Break Interval | Select from predefined (e.g. 50, 100, 200 km)
Visual Indicator | A horizontal or vertical ruler-like bar showing trip progress and break markers
Map Overlay Option | Optional mini-ruler overlay on live map view
Notification Alert | Optional sound or pop-up when nearing break point (e.g., “You’ve traveled 180 km – time to plan a break”)How It Works (Example):
You set a trip from Point A to Point B (500 km)You select: “Break every 200 km”
The app draws a ruler with segments: 0 → 200 → 400 → 500 km
Your current location appears as a moving marker along this ruler
When you pass 200 km, a gentle alert reminds you to consider stopping
Benefits:
Helps manage fatigue during long tripsReduces guesswork for break timing
Encourages safe driving habits
Useful for families, truck drivers, and road trippers

Make the screen larger when making a turn or an exit on the highway
So when you driving on the highway, and you have to exit or switch road make the screen larger, so it can be visible to switch an exit to proceed because sometimes everything looks the same on the small screen. It’s kind of confusing. Sometimes you miss the exit.

Ajout d’un icône
Ajouter un icône pour les animaux en mouvement, car l’icone DANGER ne suffit pas étant donné le déplacement . À deux reprises hier, je n’ai pas pu signaler cela sur une autoroute. L’icône DANGER n’est pas suffisant et trop imprécis dans ces cas là.

Hoogte voertuig
De optie om de hoogte van het voertuig in te geven bij de instellingen, en de keuze om hier meldingen over te ontvangen. Aansluitend ook alternatieve routes voor te stellen. Bij lage tunnels of bruggen is dit zeker nuttig.

Fix the share my drive feature to remember your most recent share contacts. Also highlight the actual route not the straight line from a->b
Restore the share my drive feature that remembers ego you recently shared your drive with. It used to do this but no longer does.
Also, when sharing a drive it should show the actual route the person is taking (like it does for the driver) and not just a straight line from point a to point b. That isn’t helpful at all when trying to meet up with someone or give them a heads up on a path to avoid. Or being able to search their route if someone were to get lost or not make it to their destination.

OCULTAR ALERTA LOMBADAS
EXCLUIR ou OCULTAR os alertas de som referente as LOMBADAS, uma vez que a quantidade de LOMBADAS em especial nas grandes cidades é demasiada elevada, o que torna a navegação em grande parte INVIÁVEL e INCOMODA, pois a intervenção principalmente SONORA do alerta de LOMBADAS, além de distrair o condutor de outros alertas que julgo mais importantes e pertinentes, inviabiliza OUVIR UMA MÚSICA/NOTÍCIA e até mesmo UMA CONVERSA COM OS DEMAIS PASSAGEIROS.

PLEASE improve auto routing feature
Since its implementation I've HATED that Waze...after a short interval...automatically chooses one route (out of several options). The time allotted is not nearly long enough to allow for an informed choice (at least not in a densely populated area where there are several options). If two or three routes are very close in travel time, the shorter one may have higher tolls or traffic slow downs...and I want to assess each one. At least, allow users to turn off the auto route option. I, for one, know my area well and the advantages/disadvantages of each route, and don't want Waze to choose a route by default.

Dear Waze Team,
I would like to suggest an important improvement to the app: adding a button at the beginning of each drive to select the type of vehicle – such as private car, truck, commercial vehicle, bus, etc.
As a truck driver, I often get directed to roads that are not suitable for heavy vehicles – including narrow streets, bridges with height restrictions, or roads where commercial vehicles are prohibited. These situations cause delays, frustration, and sometimes even safety hazards.
I believe this feature would greatly enhance the user experience and allow for more personalized and safe navigation.
Thank you in advance for considering this idea.

Rutas Vehículos Eléctricos
Actualmente no planifica rutas para vehículos eléctricos como lo puede hacer ABRP. Ni siquiera te deja seleccionar vehículo eléctrico ya que solo deja elegir carburantes.
Estaría muy bien y sería una app casi completa si se incluyera un sistema de cálculo y rutas para vehículos eléctricos en donde la ruta se planifique con sus correspondientes puntos de recarga.
Creo que es un punto necesario y fundamental, ya que los vehículos eléctricos son el futuro y los de combustión están en un próximo proceso de extincion.2 votes -
Alert Settings
Please add a user setting for full or reduced alerting on roads usually travelled. The current regime of forced reduced alerting is causing confusion, map queries to WAZE and mistrust that WAZE is reliable. Not receiving alerts (regardless of alert settings) about driving behaviour cameras on usually travelled roads, as currently occurs when alerts reduce, defeats the purpose of using the app.

Verbally announce Exit Numbers
Verbally announce Exit numbers. Currently, the distance and direction is announced but you have to take you eyes off of the road and to your dash or phone display to see exactly which exit you should use when the exits are clustered (i.e.: 1A, 1B, 1C, 2A, 2B). At highway speeds, the less time looking at the display and more on the road is better.

Motorcycle mode should not ask to confirm things
Motorcycle mode should not ask to confirm things
When in motocycle mode we have gloves on and limited visial with our helments. Please turn off the confirmation of alerts. I confirm when in my car, but it should not show when on the motorbike. Also the alert then also takes up visual space of the map. It makes me look down more when riding.2 votes -
Allow placing a destination pin on the phone while connected to CarPlay
Hi Waze team,
I’m a long-time Wazer (5+ years), and I truly appreciate the app. However, I’d like to share some frustrating limitation:
It’s much harder and slower to move around the map and select a custom point on the car screen. On the phone, it takes seconds. Many times I don’t know the exact address — I just want to navigate to a specific point on the map (e.g. a parking spot or entrance nearby). But CarPlay disables this. I have to disconnect CarPlay, set the destination, and reconnect — very inconvenient.
Thanks for all the great work you do!
Best regards, Dmytro.

Speed Limit indicators on map
It would add to safer driving to have speed limit changes show up as standard indicators on the map while driving, meaning seeing them approach just like any other indicator on the map.
Current issues/reasons:
1. In South Africa we have many areas where the speed limit road signs are missing. I count four that are missing on my daily route alone, and this is extremely dangerous with frequent sudden braking necessary immediately after realizing the speed limit has changed without prior notice.
2. There are often speed cameras directly after a speed limit change, which is a nice little dirty trick used by our often-corrupt traffic department officers, with lots of easy to find dashcam footage online to attest to just this one issue.
3. Better preparation for speed transitions - Advanced warning allows drivers to gradually adjust speed rather than making abrupt changes, which reduces the risk of rear-end collisions from following vehicles.
4. Unfamiliar route safety - When driving in new areas, drivers may not know local speed limit patterns and could easily miss changes, especially when traffic signs are missing. This is especially important for tourists or business travelers.
5. Night driving visibility - Speed limit signs can be harder to spot in low-light conditions, while the navigation display remains clearly visible.
6. Weather-related visibility - During rain, fog, or other weather conditions that reduce visibility, physical signs may be obscured while the digital display remains clear.
7. Standardized information - Eliminates confusion from damaged, faded, or vandalized speed limit signs that may be difficult to read accurately. Additionally, it is much easier to follow the navigation map when speed limit information is displayed in the familiar indicator format that drivers are already accustomed to using.This has previously been suggested very long ago (https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/10519629-speed-limit-indication-on-map), but without much motivation given. The response of the Waze Team was not helpful, as the issues were not addressed. Since this is a safety issue more than a nice-to-have feature (at least in my country), I believe it requires more attention from the developers.

rychlost do konce měřeného úseku
bylo by možné v měřeném úseku zobrazovat rychlost kterou je potřeba reálně udržovat, aby jsem přijel na konec úseku ve správné rychlosti (v dlouhém úseku se mi stane, že někdy trochu překročím a před koncem jedu zbytečně pomalu abych nepřekročil rychlost)
úsek 50 km/h - v úseku jsem jel chvíli rychleji --- pak by se mi zobrazila doporučená rychlost 45 km/h)s díky Vladimír
