Share Scoreboard Info on Facebook
None of the current sharing options for Facebook are appealing to me and the people I know using the client. We would love to share when we hit certain milestones and/or have weekly reports of our Waze Scoreboard progress. This allows us to share Waze with our Facebook friends without revealing our locations (road reports, directions to where we are going). I think sharing these achievements would be the quickest/most effective way to promote Waze on Facebook

Points ticket no longer working on latest Blackberry version
On the Blackberry, the latest version (2.0.2.3) no longer shows the point ticker when collecting points. When you look under View My Points the New Points section is blank. That said it still does seem to be counting new points just not showing them anywhere.

Add option to resize the screen allowing to see all members of a team in special color 4 better view
This option will allow a member of a team to see in a much more easy way, where are the other members of his team.
Another side of this option, could be a live interface on web,... where a member could see the others members of a team.3 votes -
have client generate text file of all unallowed moves while driving to view on computer
I know the system technically does this automatically but I was thinking today as I was going through the cartouche fixing every intersection in my hometown, how it'd be handy if the client generated a text file showing all the things you did that you "shouldn't" have. Almost every intersection in my area has restricted turns that simply don't exist (it's a small town, there's only one turn restriction and no one ways, so i realize this is easier than most) but I was thinking it'd be handy if I could open a txt file generated by the client that says "Turn from First street to Main street not allowed in cartouche". This would then make it much easier to know what intersections need fixed and what ones don't. As I said, I know the client does this automatically, but it also requires repeated input to confirm it's not any number of errors that can occur, but I thought this would be a handy for us that are vigilant map editors.

Rerouting
Rerouting. STOP IT. We pick a route for a reason. Maybe someone is afraid of bridges or tunnels. Maybe there is a fear of heights. Or maybe we know that we want to avoid a bad area of town. We cannot choose a route to do those things with assurance that it will not change. I'm aware that there are good reasons to reroute. But we need an option to automatically accept or deny a route change. It is not safe to stare at a Waze screen waiting for a popup to select NO for a reroute. I do not understand why this has not been solved yet. If we want to look for a new route we always have the option. We do not need your help on some trips. PLEASE. Let me set my default choice for rerouting. A warning is fine but if do not do anything I don't want Waze to do it either!

Avoid School Zones
"Avoid active School Zones" like the avoid toll roads & ferry option. Due to decreased speed regulations “when children are present”, avoiding school zones could help drivers make better decisions on route choices, seeing as schools start/stop dates vary depending upon your area.

Alert sound indicating upcoming route change while on the phone
I drive long distances and one of the main issues I have is that when I'm on the phone, there is no alert sound to indicate an upcoming route change. Apple maps will ding to force you to look down and realize you have an upcoming route change. It's easy to get distracted on the phone and not be paying close attention to your next change when Waze is silent.

Rendre le guide vocal un peu plus bavard
Depuis que la nouvelle fonction "moins bavard" est apparu, j'ai mis "normal"
Mais j'ai remarqué que le guidage vocal est moins bavard : j'ai pris la route dans le nord et il y avait une bifurcation (route en type Y) : waze ne m'a rien dit. C'est dangereux : je préférais quand il me disait "prenez légèrement à gauche..." plutôt que ... rien.2 votes -
Quick Travel Mode Switching for Users with Multiple Vehicles
This feature has already been suggested by the Waze community, and it appears to be a recurring request from multiple users since years. However, there does not seem to have been any update or response regarding its development.
Context
I use Waze both as a car driver and as a motorcyclist, so I regularly switch between different modes of transportation depending on the trip.
The problem
Currently, changing the travel mode is not quick or easily accessible. To switch from car to motorcycle, I have to navigate through several menus and access the settings to change my vehicle.
This is particularly inconvenient for users who regularly alternate between multiple vehicles. The need is quite simple: quickly tell Waze which vehicle I am going to use for my next trip.
Proposed solution
I suggest allowing users to configure the different modes of transportation they regularly use in their profile: car, motorcycle, bicycle, etc.
For users who only have one mode configured, nothing would change.
However, when a user has multiple modes configured, Waze could display a quick selection pop-up when opening the app, for example:
Which vehicle are you using today?
🚗 Car | 🏍️ MotorcycleThe user could then select their preferred mode with a single tap, and Waze would use the appropriate navigation settings.
This pop-up could be enabled or disabled in the settings, giving users control over the feature.
It would also be useful to have this selection directly available when searching for a route, particularly when planning a trip scheduled for later. In this situation, a user may plan a trip several hours or even days in advance without yet knowing whether they will travel by car or motorcycle. Being able to select the travel mode directly when planning the route would avoid having to change the settings later.
Goal
The goal would be to make switching between travel modes possible in one or two taps, while keeping the current interface unchanged for users who only use one mode of transportation.
I believe this would be particularly useful for people who regularly use multiple vehicles, especially drivers and motorcyclists.
Thank you for considering this suggestion!

Don't Popup the "Would you like to enable voice control?" during navigation
During navigation a prompt will pop up asking to enable voice control. This covers the entire screen and doesn't go away until interacted with. In many countries it's illegal to touch your phone while driving. This has essentially rendered waze useless for me and I've had to go back to google maps.

stop changing routes
Please add an option to disable Waze from changing your route as soon as you start driving, I specifically choose routes that are a couple minutes longer as I hate certain roads yet it’s useless as as soon as I set off Waze has already changed my route and put me back onto the way I didn’t want to go, this is really frustrating and definitely the worst part of the app

Permanent warning of the possibility of animal crossing
Hi, It occurred to me that it would be useful to have a permanent warning (like the Tutor) of the possibility of wild animals (like deer) or domestic animals (like cows) crossing the road.
My suggestion is for the following feature: Added permanent warning “Possible animal crossing”.
My suggestion solves this problem: Know how far and how many kilometers you’ll be at risk of animals crossing the road. Don’t be caught unprepared when dealing with animals.
In more words: The warning would be similar to the average speed control warning. This warning doesn’t replace the animal warning, but it would provide advance warning of the possibility of animals crossing the road. If an animal were on the road at that moment, the animal warning button would be used.

Navigation
I would like to see more details at tricky intersections and exits, or be able to zoom in even further, so that I can better see which direction to drive or which lane to take. Especially in busy large cities, it can be difficult when there are many side roads and exits.
Greetings Av Dot, a big fan for many many year 😊

prefer simpler route to shorter
please add a setting "savings in minutes that matter to you" and if a simpler route or a route without toll would take less than my setting, select it by default
