Rachel navigation voice back
The Developers have change the standard Brazilian navigation voice from Rachel to Alessandra.
The new voice it's to low. The voice misses some intonation.
This causes many navigation/driving mistakes to the user, including me and my friends that I talk about it.
Please, we need the Rachel voice back.4 votesThank you for your suggestion!
As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!
Want to try another voice?
Tap Menu and tap the Settings wheel.
Tap Voice & sound.
Tap Voice Language and select the voice you’d like to use. -
Plugins!
Instead of competing against other products and services, why not allow them to be PART OF (feed info into) Waze? Plugins, if you will.
Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOyhnwA6MQo
Escort Live is a social driving program for people who use Passport Radars. Wouldn't it make more sense for everyone ("them" because they'd be able to enjoy Waze and its massive user database, and "us" because we'd get the real-time radar info?) if Escort Live was available inside Waze?
Waze is great because it's so clean, so I understand not wanting to have other data services "clutter up" the experience, so perhaps…

Speed alarm incorporated or information to be incorporated to automated driving system
I would like to see in my life smart cities where the limit speed is set by Waze users in order to get less acidents and preserve life. Cities will have antenas to spread the real speed limit to automated pilot or driver assistance on the vehicles controling the upper limit of velocity.

Reports turning driving line yellow
My idea or suggestion is that once a report is made, for example, heavy traffic goes over the line and turns the purple line red or orange. It would be very useful for Waze users.

Add full support on HUD displays on cars
When using Waze in my Car via Android Auto, it shows show semi support on the HUD display.
For example, when turning left on roundabout, the arrow and symbol shows straight instead of circle with left arrow surrounding it.
Another support is missing - When driving on road with several lanes and need to stay on right lane or left lane, no lanes appear on HUD, only straight arrow.
Google Maps and Sygic work great with HUD display so it's clearly an issue with Waze.
Please fix.

Speed alerts ,audio speed changes,school zones
…I use Waze to help give me audio alert when I go over the speed limit. Only thing is that it only alerts you one time and if you go over the speed limit again it will not alert you. I would find it very beneficial but it alerts you every time you go over the speed limit. I would also would like to have school zones added and alerted. And possibly have speed limit decrease to 20 mph when school zones are active with audio alerts. I live in a very small town and is known to have speed28 votes -
when driving fast on highway, don't show side streets
When driving fast on a highway, the side streets and names clutter the screen and are not necessary. Removing them would probably also save data usage.

Supplemental Extended Maneuver
More info:
https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=91448Sometimes we have so more complicated crossroad that standard left/right is not enough to give exact instructions for a driver. Finally we must to choose which road gets a better direction.
These additional maneuvers could replace standard left/right and to design better driving instructions.

Going home options
When the app first starts, it always ask if I'm going home. Many times I am, but I say no, only because I do NOT want turn-by-turn instructions for a route I know by heart and drive every day. The app should have the option to only show ETA and maybe suggest a new route for the traffic on my normal route home.

"I'm in a parking garage" button to delay route recalculation and map out garages
An "I'm in a parking garage" button would allow you to:
1) Delay route recalculation until the car had actually started on the route (10 meters along actual street or so)
2) Map out existing parking garages for feedback to navigation
Because fiddling with your phone while driving is illegal in Austin, I prefer to set the route and be done with it before I start driving. Driving in circles around the garage means I typically have to do it afterward if I don't want recalculation to squelch my chosen route (non-toll vs toll for instance).

Make STILL THERE? larger
Please make the “Still there” and “Not there” voices larger and separate them. I often miss what I am going for because of a bump on the road or just because they are right next to each other. Separating them to something similar to when I receive a phone call and have the option to accept or decline would be very nice. Having large green and red buttons to say if a report is still there would result in less focus away from driving and less errors when selecting.

Erase from your driving map Calcada do Calvario street, Amarante, Portugal
When driving in Amarante, Portugal, I received from WAZE one of the worst suggestion to drive through Calcada do Calvario street. The street is so bad, with very big stones as pavement and have parts with very high slope, has many holes in the pavement and after a short rain, very slippery. This street is very dangerous and I recommend to erase this street from your driving maps.

more screenspace ahead of the car in 2D mode
while driving in fixed North=up mode and in landscape the client could position the car/current location icon so that there would be more screenspace (and thus more useful information) ahead and less space (and thus much less useful information) behind the car
5 votesI believe this was resolved in Version 2.2. There’s more screenspace ahead while in navigation.

show public transportation routes
We're in a climate crisis and everybody should drive less when there are alternatives available.
Waze should help with that by suggesting Public Transportation or bicycle routes when selecting a destination, when those routes are viable alternatives (don't bother showing a 3h bus route for a 10 min drive).
This could be similar to Google Maps and use the same data.
Just by showing that there are alternatives, the user might be tempted to try them.
This might be specially useful when driving in cities that have car restrictions, dedicated bus lanes or good bicycle infrastructure that rivals congestion, where…7 votes -
A way th control texting and driving at same time.
We were using Waze for first time today, I was driving and wife was on phone. She was unable to type anything in since car was moving and suggested we stop to input info. This technology should be marketed to the phone companies, which would block people texting and driving at same time. It could save many lives and countless injuries if adapted to all phones.

Display unique symbols for hazards reported on the road
At the moment, you have to click on the Hazard symbol to actually know what the hazard is. And as people alway report vehicles stopped on the hard shoulder as being a hazard, its hard to know what action to take when driving unless you know what the hazard ahead is. It is also dangerous to have to click on the small hazard symbol whilst driving. So why not have different symbols for different hazards? These symbols would be displayed on the map, preventing the need to have to click on the hazard symbol in order to know what the…

Maximum Speed info box when crossing a border
When crossing borders if would be interesting to have a little popup infobox appear on the screen which summarizes the different speeds allowed in the country to which you have crossed the border to.
For example when i'm driving from Luxembourg to France, when crossing the border into France, i would get the info that
1) on Tolled Freeways the max speed is 130 kph
2) Non Tolled Freeways max speed 110 kph.
3) Minor Highway 80kph and etc.When i drive into Germany.
1) Freeway 130 kph
2) Minor highway 90 kph
3) in the city 50 kph10 votes -
Move the thank and negative buttons
Suggestion!
The thank button and the negative badge for warnings are too close and it's easy to touch the unintended one while driving and bumps affect your hand floating while reaching for the screen. .
It would be nice to have the thank button on the left screen and the negative badge on the far right side. .since most phones are placed on the middle of the vehicle dash area. ..
Thanks for the awesome app!
