Vehicle Information and Maintenance Notifications
I would like to propose adding a feature that allows users to set and manage vehicle information, along with receiving notifications for the following:
1. Car Insurance Expiration: Reminders when the insurance is about to expire, so users can renew it on time. 2. Vehicle Inspection Validity: Notifications before the scheduled inspection date, ensuring compliance with legal requirements. 3. Oil Change and Maintenance: Alerts based on mileage to remind users when it’s time to change the oil or perform other essential maintenance tasks after driving a specified distance.This feature would greatly enhance user convenience and help in…

Alert regarding illegal waste disposal sites.
Hello Wase!! My name is Carlos Reckert, I am a software engineering student and I am currently developing a university extension project on the UN SDGs. My idea is that, since there is already a feature to report potholes in the road in the application, a function should also be added to report locations with irregular disposal of household waste and debris. This would be another public and social utility promoted by your platform. The social impact would be significant not only in my city/community, but anywhere there is an active user willing to engage. This initiative would facilitate the…

Taxi meter
I would be happy if you can integrate in your application one ficher of a taxi meter. You have the date time and distance only thing you need to add is the beginning of the meter by the country and Day & Night. I use taxis a lot, and I would love to know what the price of the trip before I go in a taxi, especially abroad.
Thanks

There needs to be more granularity on audio alert volume
Someone else said “Audio alerts without voice guidance”, but that’s only half, and actually, exactly opposite of what I’d like.
If there was separate volume slider for “Voice Guidance” and “Audio Alerts”, that would cover all bases.
My situation is different than the other suggestion - When i’m on my 3 hour commute, there are SO MANY VEHICLES ON SIDE OF THE ROAD that my podcasts get interrupted every 3 miles.
But because it’s 40 miles on one freeway, 35 miles on another, 45 on a third, and 30 on a fourth, i’ve zoned out and missed my…

When showing "Routes" options, show "average speed" per option.
When showing "Routes" options, in addition to "time" and "distance", show "average speed" per option. A user may want to choose an option whereby he/she is moving at a greater average speed, even if it means extending the duration of the trip, especially if the added duration is insignificant. For example, a user may prefer to travel 60 km in 1 hour than 40 km in 55 minutes because instead of siting in traffic the user is moving at a greater speed.

Weather for Jeeps and Convertibles
I'd like to be able to set preferences for what weather I'd like the top down on my jeep for. If my entire route will experience that weather, with little or no chance for rain, Waze should send an alert suggesting that I "ride to work with the top down"

Import live Ka and Laser alerts from Escort Live and Valentine One
While Waze is doing a spectacular job at keeping the users informed of the surrounding through alerts reported by fellow commuters, it does not have a feature to report Radar or Laser threats. Escort Live automatically reports Ka radar and laser alerts through the connected Escort and Beltronics radar detectors. Similarly, YaV1 app reports alerts through V1 detector.
It would be awesome if Waze can tap into these apps and provide wazers with these Ka/Laser alerts. This way, wazers would be more aware of exactly where and when a traffic enforcement officer is trying to catch…

show nearest petrol station prices as alerts
The way that you alert could be used to provide proximity alerts that show the nearest fuel/petrol station and the prices. This could be an option that is configured for those that want the alert (on) and those that do not want it shown (off).
A much easier way to update the price would be welcome e.g. use the front facing camera to recognize the prices and translate to an auto update would be cool.1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Speed / red light camera alerts announced too early on local steeets
Speed / red light camera alerts are announced too early on local steeets currently.
Most of the time, the alert is announced over 750m away. And on local streets, it is very likely that there there would be multiple other intersections before reaching it. So by the time the actual camera location is reached, the alert is already forgotten.
Please make it so that the camera alerts are announced closer to the actual camera while on city streets (around 200 - 250m). Or add a second alert when "approaching speed / red light camera", in addition to the…1 vote -
Vibration-only alerts for passengers
It would be nice to have vibration-only alerts for directions, to be used by a passenger. I am often in the passenger seat and reading out the turns to the driver, but sometimes I get distracted and miss the turn. The sounds are distracting, but it would be helpful if the app would just buzz the phone shortly before the turns.

One Lane Bridge Alerts
It would be great to have a warning when approaching a one lane bridge, given that it's an important time to slow down and be prepared to stop. By one lane bridge, I mean a bridge with one lane that is shared be the traffic going in either direction (https://www.nzta.govt.nz/roadcode/general-road-code/road-code/about-driving/giving-way/giving-way-on-one-lane-bridges/).
Generally one direction gets the right of way, so it would also be handy to have that included in the warning.

Speed limits ahead
How about an Info of speed limits ahead on cirrent road.
Why?
If you travel over Land, you are usually allowed to do 100kmh. At intersections, small villages etc. the speed Limit is usually reduced to 70kmh. If there could be some kind of Information with a speed Limit ahead, about 300 to 500m ahead you could just take you foot of the Gas an let the car roll to safe energy. I Do it regularly on known Routers, if traffic allows it (no one behind me how might be annoyed). With this Methode I m able to have 1…12 votes -
improve Speeding Alerts
Could the speed indicator be improved in this way: Right now, the speeding icon stays white up to the speed limit, then as soon as 1 mph over, it goes red. I have my alert threshold set to 10% over the speed limit. I would prefer if the speeding icon does not go red until that 10% overage is exceeded. Otherwise the icon would be red most of the time, as most people drive a few mph over the speed limit. And having it red most of the time defeats the warning. It only needs to go red when speeding…

user provided layout themes
There are various requests for features of what Waze should/should not display on screen. It would be great if users could instead of just choosing a style, actually choose a (or create) a layout that another user has selected.
Best option would be to provide the ablity to give shapes, and areas that can contain text. Eg.
- Current speed (can then increase/decrease the speed display)
- Average wazer speed on the current segment (so the potential speed limits could be shown)
- Current road name
- Text/images for popups
- Destination ETA
- Destination time
- Destination name

LIVE Number plate scanner, last known position of police vehicles.
A button to enable the camera to scan and track known number plates of police vehicles (possibly other wazers).
This can have a refresh time of say 10 sec and shows the next known position or simulate the police vehicle movement on the map. It just disappears when it loses the tracking but notifies users of recent police presence if you enter a road that had police vehicle on it in the last minute or so or within a certain distance.

Stop navigation once you're "close enough" to the destination
Waze should have an option where it stops trying to re-route once you're close to the destination, especially when it is not possible to actually drive to the exact entry point for whatever reason.
Context:
I've got someone who has brought up routing issues to their destination a few times, and at least two or three local editors have made various changes. They now again have been saying that once they arrive, Waze wants them to exit the parking lot again, and make a huge detour just to return again to where they are already located.
I am convinced this…

Make Waze a perfect navigation system
It definitely needs lane guidance (even google maps which technically is not a navigation system has lane guidance)
When you search for POI it should tell you how far (distance and time) off rout the POI is from your rout. (again google maps does that.)
Wase has problem with long distance. I travel a lot from Somerset NJ to Toronto Canada, and always have to wait at least half an hour for Wase to start working aside from several times crashing and not being able to do anything with phone because it crashes. This might be due to…

Speeding alerts, 30.40 and 50 km/h above limit
At the moment the speeding alert can be set to a maximum of 20km over the limit but I also need other thresholds, 30.40 and 50km/h. In some countries, exceeding the speed limit by 50km/h leads to the suspension of the driving license.

Adding alert for vehicle going below the lowest speed limit
I really appreciate the effort you put in this application. Specially the limit for the route speed in UAE . You perfectly added the high limit for the speed.
My suggestion is to add the lower limit for the route which vehicles can't go below.
It's crucial because the fine for exceeding the speed is the exact same amount for going below the lowest speed.
I myself got fined for this gap on Mohamed bin Rashid street which is not allowed to drive below 120 KM/H . And I came to know after fine of 1200 derhams ( 400×3 ,…2 votes
