Support ODB bluetooth dongles
Allow the use of an ODB bluetooth dongle to get a number of improvements. These dongles are quite cheap and provide a wealth of extra data. Possible uses:
[ Better dead reckoning using vehicle speed ]
Using the actual vehicle speed combined with compass, accelerometer and map matching it should be possible to have accurate positioning in tunnels/urban canyons. TomTom does this and is able to do near-perfect positioning with only one GPS datapoint every 30 minutes.[ Monitor fuel usage ]
Things like planning a gas stop could be automated. When the tank gets below a certain percentage, add a stop to the current route at a gas station. Also; monitoring fuel efficiency and using that to calculate range remaining and warning when a planned route exceeds that range (adding gas stops maybe?).[ Stop detection ]
If the ODB is not available or indicates the car is off the user is taking a stop so don't report a traffic jam.[ Fuel efficiency tips ]
Using accelerometers and ODB data you can build quite a detailed report of driver behaviour and give the driver tips to get better fuel economy.Allow the use of an ODB bluetooth dongle to get a number of improvements. These dongles are quite cheap and provide a wealth of extra data. Possible uses:

Addresses in Colombia
Addresses are pretty easy to implement in Colombia, they have 2 components. The main road being it a Calle or Carrera most of the time, and the House number, made of two parts, The intersection with the opposing road, for example a Carrera would intersect with a Calle and viceversa, and the distance from the intersection. For example, Calle 45 #67-85 would be 85 meters after the intersection of Calle 45 and Carrera 67, on Calle 45 going towards calle 68. It would be pretty easy, and really convenient for users in Colombia.
31 votesThank you for this suggestion.
We are aware of this need since address fields are ordered differently from one country to the other.
Providing this flexibility in address fields is planned but it’s out of current scope so we can’t share a timeline at the moment.
We will keep the community posted, so stay tuned! -
Personal statistics
Would be nice to get stats about your personal routes : average travel time between your first 2 or 3 destinations, average waze error on ETA (accuracy and precision - see wikipedia for the difference), time you spend driving per day, number of wazers you cross... one can invent all sort of fun and useful statistics.
31 votesWe plan to work on having a personal statistics of the routes taken in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

Routing server timeouts - retry in the background
Sometimes everyone of us experiences routing server timeouts with an Oops/OK prompt. Then one needs to reclick the destination while driving, which is disturbing. Perhaps the client could have an option to retry a couple of times in the background, and then notify if all retries failed?

Set Waze as default iOS navigation app [iOS 18.4/EU only]
In the EU, Apple has finally made it possible to set a default navigation app in iOS 18.4.
Unfortunately, Waze has not yet implemented this feature.
You can find the new option in iOS 18.4 under Settings -> Apps -> Default apps -> Navigation
This is what it looks like: https://ibb.co/wNHBspGN
It would be really great to finally have the option on iOS to open addresses directly without having to copy and paste them manually into Waze, for example.

Truck Driver friendly
I would love to see a truck driver (class A and class B) friendly to where truck drivers can see height of bridges and the maximum weight capacity it holds. This would open up some much more interest for people and increase usage. My spouse hates google maps and Apple Maps because they never work for him he loves wazes but wishes it incorporates truck drivers. Please take this into consideration I would appreciate it so much thank you.

Offer routes that avoid speed bumps
My very low ride height requires me to avoid speed bumps on roads. I need an app that will navigate me in routes that avoid these. Can Waze incorporate such an idea?
30 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Android auto - missing setting
Om android auto user interface there is no posibility on change route option: "avoid/not avoid toll roads"
Very interesting because when you are driving maybe you want to change it easily.
30 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
Android Auto Proected is a major focus for us in this year, and we encourage you to read more about it in the Android Auto forum for updates and latest releases.

I HATE the scoreboard change. Please display points needed for next level and friends scores, not strangers. Not a well thought out process
Please display points needed for the next level again and friends scores. New scoreboard has taken all the fun out of the app.

לאפשר למשתמש לראות את כמות הדלק שיצרוך בנסיעה שהגדיר.
הוספת פיצ'ר שבראשיתה המשתמש יגדיר את כמות הקילומטרים שהרכב שלו עובר עבור ליטר אחד של דלק. (לדוגמא: הרכב שלי צורך ליטר אחד של דלק עבור 12 ק"מ אז אני אגדיר זאת )
ולאחר מכן, בכל פעם שהמשתמש יתחיל בנסיעה חדשה האפליקציה תדע להגיד לו כמה ליטר הנסיעה תצרוך בהתאם לרכב שהוגדר
החישובים יתחשבו גם בעומס התנועה שבאותה נסיעה, והאם הנסיעה היא בדרך עירונית/בין עירונית/כביש מהיר.30 votes -

I really wish bookmarks were easier. Like, creating folders. I drive 5 hours a day, work 4. The places I visit are frequent, but there's so many of them. I would love it if there can be folders created so I just tap on that folder for say, Northeast PA sites, or Eastern PA sites, etc.
