Sync favorites between web site and the mobile app
It would be usefull if you could search for a specific place in the web site, and the load it in your mobile phone or the device you use. In my case I travel around often and drive in other countries, it would help me save time, and plan better my trip.
I tried to look the way to do it but couldn't find it.

Select safer way by following someone if alternative route is similar time
Safely travel means to follow others. Like on festivals inside crowds ==> people tend to walk together = crowd pulls you. Basically we should drive in circles. While road has dashed line, we better don't want to meet many cars in opposite direction. This can avoid mamy accidents by front crash. Similar road arrangement can be seen ie. also on some festivals so it is not just a dream!! I prefer to come 10min late than never [+]. Waze should offer this always (on dashed line roads).

Concept: Driving apps shouldn't remind people about their dead parents.
Why is a driving app (not even a calendar app!) reminding me about my dead father? Why is a driving app ignorantly involving itself in my family dynamics at all? Millions of people don't need a reminder about Father's Day.

Restore list of "destinations" when using Voice commands while driving.
Prior to update, while driving I would be able to say a destination name, and if there were multiple results, I would be able to select the one I wanted. Also it allowed me to verify Waze found the correct destination.
This functionality has been removed for some reason.
1) It doesn't always get it right. There are many times when voice commands misheard the destination. The ability to verify exactly where I asked to go is essential.
2) Using Gas/convenience store as an example: I used to be able to say WaWa and it would give me a list…

I suggest that the traffic reporting button, at least in countries where driving is on the right side of the road, move to the left side of the screen which is closer and more accessible to the driver.

Make it the same in waze, much better usability, especially when in a hurry to start driving

avoid a specified road would be a great feature.
It would be great if I could avoid a particular road I hate driving on the way home. Its not a toll or a dirt road, and I dont want to change my preferences just to avoid the same road , but I hate it. Its unlit, fast, narrow and has a really annoying junction and a big width restriction. I just want to tell Waze to never route that way. Id rather take 5 more minutes getting home .

Bug RoundAbout exit during driving : A U-turn is always showing on the dashboard of the car
The dashboard of the car always shows an U-turn exit for all roundabout on android auto.
It will be good to replicate, like the application Google Maps does, the correct information seen on the map to the dashboard car.
Because actually for all roundabout, Waze shows on the dashboard a u-turn whereas the exit number and indication are correct on the map.
Suggestion to the forum : A picture to upload would help to explain more than a long explanation.

Node Types - Multi use and meaningful for routes (Traffic Lights, Lane Guidance, etc)
An intersection always has a node, this node could become much more meaningful than simple turns and could significantly enhance the functionality of Waze (albeit with a significant development penalty).
By adding some logic to nodes you will be able to introduce some logic that will significantly enhance the ability for the routing engine to calculate superior routes when taking in things like traffic light penalties and other metrics.
1) You can collect timing metrics for intersections much more efficiently, and potentially learn intersection timing and other factors which will help produce much more accurate route timings without depending on…

Allow to add speed cameras directly in the map editor and/or change their type (speed/light)
Currently you cannot add a speed camera without reporting it on the spot with your app and then go approve it in the map editor.. This slows down the process if you are in the editor and see a camera is missing and don't want to drive there to add it.
Changing the type of existing ones could help correct mistakes when people report a wrong type of camera.7 votes -
Announce verbally route and delay changes
At the moment if the route changes then Waze makes a chirp sound. I would like it to actually say "Route Change" or perhaps "Route recalculated due to change in traffic conditions" and then "Arrival time is now 7.34 pm". Or "Traffic delay has increased/decreased by 5 minutes". These announcements should be capable of being enabled/disabled in settings to allow for different user preferences. Personally I don't like reading messages on the phone screen while I'm driving - I would rather messages be read out verbally so I don't have to look at the screen as much - safer!

Enable full control in the app using voice only
Add an option to interact with the app using voice control
for instance :
reporting an obstacle on the road using Siri/Google assistant,
rerouting to a new destination while driving,
share your location using a voice command.
All these options should prevent the user from touching the phone while driving and decrease distractions.
The convenience of using the app while talking only will increase the amount of users reporting , and interacting with the many options given in the app.
This will lead to more credible information to be provided for the users.12 votes -
Speed Camera Alerts
It would be great if you could add a function for making the sound Alerts more prominent and repeatable ? not just a flash on the screen and maybe a spoken alert, the screen alert is easily missed whilst concentrating on driving, Maybe also be able to change the alert sound like in TomTom.

mapless mode
how about a screen that just displays the speed and any nearby alerts (range user selectable) for when we're just driving and don't need the GPS? This could cut down on data (and battery) usage by not fetching maps, but still let us provide data back to the system.

Prevent Constant Navigation pop-up while using other CarPlay apps.
I drive a Mazda CX-5 and whilst the car is in motion the CarPlay touchscreen is disabled and I interact with the interface using a wheel and buttons to move the focus and activate controls.
When using Waze to navigate and switching to music or Spotify or another app Waze will pop up notifications for alerts or upcoming navigation events.
When forced to use the wheel to control the interface this pop up is extremely annoying and interferes with controlling the CarPlay interface. It is so intrusive that I will be navigating songs etc and when I click to activate…

Reporting Feature / Report Editing
The ability to create or move an item you reported, e.g. police, accident, etc. after the fact.
Sometimes you happen upon an accident scene so suddenly you do not think immediately of reporting it on Waze. And it won't help to report it 1 km further. So I would like to be able to add the event and select the precise location after I left the area already. And the ability to drag the icon to a more precise location if I reported it a tad too late.
Also, if I am driving alone without a passenger to click the…

Send a text message when delayed and/or shortly before arriving
Waze can send twitter-messages, but with the new APIs in iOS4 it could send textmessages (SMS) as well. When entering a destination for routing, one could also select a mobile phonenumber (of the person we are driving to) so that significant delays are reported automatically to this person. Also, waze could send a SMS some minutes before arriving at the destination. This comes really handy when you want to pick someone up!
When I say "automatically" - I mean that Waze pops up a dialog that you only have to confirm.

Event alerts-"On Route" as a default
I am tired of seeing like 22 event alerts (cops, traffic, etc.) while driving my inputed route. when I hit the red exclamation mark it takes me to them and then I can select "On Route" to find out which one's only apply to the way I'm going...why not make the "On Route" button the default instead of "Around Me"???

Olivia Rodrigo
Subject: Request for Olivia Rodrigo’s Voice on Waze
Body:
Dear Waze Team,I’m a huge fan of Waze and the fun, engaging celebrity voices you’ve featured over time. I wanted to suggest adding Olivia Rodrigo as a voice option for the app. Her popularity as a Grammy-winning artist and cultural icon would resonate strongly with millions of her fans worldwide, especially younger drivers who love her music.
Having Olivia guide us on our drives with her unique voice and personality would make navigating even more enjoyable. It could also align perfectly with any upcoming album releases or tours she has,…
