Smart Routing for Buses and Trucks - A Must-Have Feature for Waze
Hello Waze Team,
I would like to suggest adding a dedicated navigation mode for buses and trucks, with routing that takes large vehicle limitations into account.
Today, Waze is excellent for private cars, traffic updates, and real-time navigation, but it can be very problematic for buses and heavy vehicles, especially in Israel and particularly in the Tel Aviv area.
Many streets are extremely narrow, have sharp turns, low clearances, weight restrictions, or are simply not suitable for large vehicles. As someone who works in tourism and frequently travels with tourist buses, I have personally experienced situations where Waze directed our bus into streets or turns that were physically impossible to pass.
More than once, we got stuck in a narrow turn with vehicles both in front of and behind us, and it took a very long time and significant traffic disruption to maneuver the bus out safely. These situations are stressful, dangerous, and avoidable with vehicle-aware routing.
It would be extremely valuable if Waze could allow users to define:
Vehicle type (bus, car, truck, RV, etc.)
Vehicle height
Vehicle width
Vehicle length
Vehicle weightAnd then use this information to avoid:
Narrow streets
Low bridges or tunnels
Roads with weight or height restrictions
Tight turns unsuitable for large vehicles
Roads prohibited for buses/trucksIn addition, in Israel there are certain lanes and roads designated specifically for buses that Waze currently does not fully utilize or prioritize in routing. Adding support for public transportation and bus-priority infrastructure could significantly improve navigation efficiency for bus drivers.
I believe this feature would greatly improve safety, reduce traffic incidents, and make Waze much more useful.
Many professional drivers currently use a second navigation app alongside Waze because of this limitation. Integrating these capabilities directly into Waze would be a major improvement.Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Add a setting for text size on map
On the 5 inch wireless bluetooth display on my bike, I can't read street names because they are just too small. If there was a text size adjustment that would help immensely.

Distance Reticle
It would be very helpful on the Waze app to have the option when scrolling away from your current position to have a marked reticle Displayed in the center of the screen and an arrow pointed toward your location with two numbers by the reticle. One for distance as the crow flies and another noting the driving distance to that reticle location. Thanks.

Add a new alerts feature for usual police radaring spot
Add a program that would collect all the data from reports of where police are and use the information to display “usual police radiating spots” or something like that. Whenever I pass a police car on the road they are always in the same couple spots everyday and everyday I report them being there through Waze. It would be nice if through Waze when I’m a mile away from that usual hangout spot for police if it would notify me “Usual police radar spot” that would be helpful.

Add maximum toll budget filter (Tambahkan filter maksimum biaya tol)
Hi, it would be very helpful if Waze could add a feature to set a maximum toll fee limit. Instead of just "avoid tolls" entirely, we could filter routes based on our e-toll budget (for example: only show routes with total toll fees under Rp50,000). Thank you!
[Halo, akan sangat membantu jika Waze bisa menambahkan fitur untuk mengatur batas biaya tol maksimal. Jadi, alih-alih hanya sekadar pilihan "avoid tolls" sepenuhnya, kita bisa menyaring rute berdasarkan anggaran saldo e-toll kita (sebagai contoh: hanya menampilkan rute dengan total biaya tol di bawah Rp50.000). Terima kasih!]

Historial de busquedas no actualiza coordenadas corregidas
Cuando se corrige la ubicación de una numeración o de un lugar público en el editor de Waze, la aplicación no refleja las nuevas coordenadas en los resultados del historial de búsquedas.
Al seleccionar un resultado desde el historial (icono de reloj), Waze continúa dirigiendo al punto anterior en lugar de al actualizado, lo que genera inconsistencias y dificulta la navegación precisa.2 votes -

My problem or request is that while using the navigation, I would like to zoom in on the route occasionally. On multi-lane roads, I want to see exactly where to turn. I would like to request pinch-to-zoom functionality during navigation, if possible!"

Integration
I would like to suggest adding integrations with third-party applications so they could use your maps directly inside external apps, with a “Powered by Waze” logo included.
This could also serve as advertising for your platform, and you could make the integration paid as well.I also have many other ideas.
If you are interested, feel free to contact me by email:Integration

Separate Speedometer and Distance Measurement Units
Please add an option to separate the speedometer unit (mph/km/h) from the navigation distance unit (miles/km). Currently, changing one automatically forces the other to change. I live in the UK where all the Speed Limit signs are in Miles per hour but I was taught Metres/Kilometres in school so we are used to a hybrid system here. Would be really helpful!

Static mobile speed camera areas
I think static mobile speed camera alerts could be useful, in certain areas, especially in NSW Australia mobile speed cameras are only allowed to set up on certain roads in certain spots, an alert for entering these areas could play a useful role in driver safety

שיפור תזמון ההתראה הסופית לפני פנייה.
כיום, ההתראה האחרונה ("פנה ימינה") מגיעה לעיתים שניה או שתיים בלבד לפני הצומת. במהירות עירונית או בכבישים עמוסים, זה לא משאיר מספיק זמן לתגובה בטוחה. אני מציע להקדים את התזמון של ההתראה האחרונה ב-3 עד 5 שניות נוספות, כדי לאפשר לנהג להתכונן לביצוע הפנייה ברוגע ובטיחות.

Report menu reorganization and favorites
It currently takes several taps to report things. Example: Report button-> Hazard -> Vehicle on the side of the road (-> submit report). My gut feeling is that is my most commonly used report, and I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case for others also.
Also with any report menu rearrangements/removals it becomes nearly impossible to find ones you use less frequently when you actually need them. Say "animals in the area" for example.
Being able to personalize the report menu order or set some as favorites would fix this problem.
I know voice reporting helps with some of this, but sometimes it's much easier or only feasible to tap rather than talk (ongoing conversation for example) and the user is sort of blind to what options the voice reporting will recognize.
