  2. 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 .

  3. 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"???

  4. 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!

  5. 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.

  8. 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…

  10. If going from/to work/home on preferred route, set audio to "alerts only".

    We all go from work/home several times a week, usually by a preferred route, unless there's some traffic jam. I would like that the default audio setting is "alerts only" if I'm driving the route I know REALLY well. If it's rerouting me from my preferred route due to some event, then use whatever method is set for the client.

  11. Notificatiosn need to be posted earlier in time to compensate for people who drive 70-80 mph on highway. That equates to almost a half mile

    I will constantly get notifications after I have encountered them. Police, object on road, pothole, etc. Your system needs to make the adjustment for highway speed vehicles. At 80mph a half mile can go by in the 20 seconds it may take to post a notification. That is more than the length of time you offer the notifications...

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  15. Waze RoadTrip- A New Option for Wazers

    You will likely want to hear an idea that will expand your audience and retain your current customer base.

    Recently, I embarked on an excursion from Orlando, FL to Charleston, SC. It’s a fairly short road trip, but within those 6 hours, I wondered to myself how great it would be to see more than just the highway in front of me and the trees that lined the road. I quickly grew exhausted from seeing the same paved road, white lines, and billboard signs over and over again.

    I turned to my boyfriend with two hours left on our trip…

  16. Receive warnings from the Waze app even though there's no specific navigation has been started

    Waze app should provide warnings even though there's no specific navigation has been stared. One use case is driving in the hometown where no navigation is needed but warnings desired (e.g for the speed cameras)

    Hi could you make it possible to have a option to choose a van as a vehicle option? By selecting the vehicle as a car when driving a van makes the speed limit alerts incorrect. Thanks

  18. 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,…

  20. 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.
