Notifications on screen that divert my attention while driving.
when I get started a black box pops up with drive ideas and while I'm driving it constantly pops up with useless info. I'm beginning to watch my screen more than the road now. Audio cues are the way to go, I don't need my screen calling my attention to a radio while I'm driving. I'm sure a lawyer would love to sue you based on this so at least give me a way to stop the messages on screen.

Option to force re-sync of calendar
I have a planned drive generated from a calendar event, but that calendar event has changed time and Waze doesn't know that. Please add an option to force Waze to re-fetch the calendar events and update planned drives accordingly.

prioritize environmentally friendly route proposals (with user-value)
nowadays, it is no longer appropriate to always display the fastest route as the default.
just today waze wanted to send me from a 25.2 km route to a 49.9 km route because it was 5 minutes faster. I think 14% time savings for a 58% longer and thus a more material- and environment-harming route, not appropriate!
in addition, vehicles consume less fuel when they drive slower (39 vs 70 km/h average in my example)There should be a user-value in the options with defines the accepted time-distance-tradeoff. In my case a value of about 3 km/min would be accepted:…

Requisition for White Sports Car Icon

Speedvan
Adding Speedvan. Sometimes I drive and waze informs that the police are in front of me and there is sometimes a speedvan. Would be nice to have this option.

Maximum speedlimit
One function I really miss is being able to set the maximum speed I drive in. In Sweden, the maximum permitted speed is 80 km/h with a caravan, my eta today is quite misleading as it is based on the current speed limit on the road. So a function where I can set the maximum allowed speed myself would be really good.

Waze calculates time to leave, sends reminder to leave, so I can be at "x" on time
Waze calculates what time I should leave and sends a notification (text, etc), based on current traffic and what time I would like to be at my final destination.
Example:
I have to pick up a friend at 5PM, but I am still at work. Waze sends me a note, predicting that I should leave by 4:25PM to arrive at my friend's location for approx 5PM.49 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

KM/Milage Tracking
You guys should develop an add on like
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.everlance&hl=en
I use Waze for travel and work, but I normally jump between apps to keep track of everything. Maybe develop a Waze for Work App, that allows this. But i'm sure there are a ton of people who drive for a living that would appreciate this. Just to have a printable report at the end of the month, with start and stop locations, and expenses while i'm working etc. There are too many apps to just keep jumping around, and with all the new hands free laws... One App and Done!

Stealthalize radar warning
As in some countries, radar warners are illegal, it would be very useful to stealthalize this function with an own text and turn off the visible warning.
I mean:
voice "radar cam reported" = illegal.
voice "attention, drive carefully" = legal.Sounds weird, but is just the case.

recycling Feature
Dear Waze, I am a sixth grader at Spring Creek Elementary in Dallas, Texas. My robotics team and I are working on our project for the First Lego League City Shaper season. The goal of the project this season is to somehow improve our city. We are acknowledging that the world is having a hard time recycling. Would you help our cause and consider adding a special feature on Waze or Google Maps that shows where recycling bins owned by stores and other buildings that have signed up to have their recycling bin available to the public. Recycling is important since…

Add a cache option
I see a lot more than I can report, then constantly have reports that don't go thru. Please make a cache, so those reports can go thru. Also, make your app more compatible with wifi. I can't avoid the fact that xfinity is wherever I drive.

Erase from your driving map Calcada do Calvario street, Amarante, Portugal
When driving in Amarante, Portugal, I received from WAZE one of the worst suggestion to drive through Calcada do Calvario street. The street is so bad, with very big stones as pavement and have parts with very high slope, has many holes in the pavement and after a short rain, very slippery. This street is very dangerous and I recommend to erase this street from your driving maps.

Profanity filter
Include a profanity filter in the chitchat feature.
Driving alone at night, by myself, another wazer sent me profane and very disturbing message. I flagged it, but regardles, it was emotionally horrible and hindered my ability to drive safely. I have since disabled chitchat, but there's no reason profanity/profane slang should be allowed in a GPS program.

Ok Waze
Bring back the ‘OK Waze’ voice search.
This was an extremely useful feature to enter a new destination whilst driving. Unsure why it was discontinued. Now you have to touch your device to enter a destination.

Full screen buttons for reporting (or even the menus)
Make the reporting menu fullscreen and rearrange the layout so that it becomes easier to press a button.
You could do the same thing to the main menu as well. Makes it easier to navigate through the menus while driving...109 votes -
Avoid parkway feature
Driving a commercial vehicle we are not allowed to go on parkways. A conventional GPS allows you to "avoid part of route" I want to be able to go on all other highways just not parkways. When it gives you a route, you should be able to avoid parkways where all truckers cannot use either

Rally navigator voice
What if we could enjoy a navigator voice with similar indications like a real RALLY navigator (co-driver), obviously much more simplified and reduced to our daily drive capabilities, cars and routes! Something like
"Right 5 over crest, Left 3 don't cut, 100 Right 1 tidy into Left 2, 300, left 2 over kick into right 3 tightens." eheh
It should be more exciting then the stock "turn right, then turn left".6 votes -
Routes via specific road
Plan or change a route to use a specific road ie. a specific interstate road, state road, local road, so the route will go specifically how you want to drive it. Many times the suggested routes are not the best. One knows this after having driven a certain route multiple times. Waze does not know this.
