Add distance to routes in apple car play
When showing routes in apple car play, only the time to destination of each route is displayed. Please also add the distance of each route, which is a very important parameter for selecting the route.

Turn off the GPS when exiting the app
On the iPhone when you exit the app, the GPS is still engaged. On other GPS apps, if there is no ACTIVE ROUTE, the GPS is turned off upon exit. This should be implemented in Waze.

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.
Thanks! -
once I select a route Waze should keep it. I have found that even a slight change ie to get fuel. It often reverts to its own choice.
Waze off changes my route after I have selected one if I am forced to a detour. The one example is diving from Dalton, Ga to Olive Branch Ms. The shortest route is on Hwy 72. Waze wants me to take I-40. Further and worse traffic 1 minute faster.

Option to show gas stations/restaurants/highway stops on the route (also from Android Auto)
On Android Auto it would be so nice to have a feature to search for the
nearest fuel stations/restaurants/highway stops around the route.
This feature exists on almost any built in car navigation services.7 votes -
Show bridge height
Not once, I've heard of trucks getting into accidents by hitting a bridge that is too low to the vehicles height.
Why not display the bridges on the route and their height to prevent those type of accidents?133 votes -
More direct routes for emergency response services and fire hydrant locations.
Hi, I propose you look into a toggle option for navigation for emergency services organizations that completely ignores traffic regulations, stop signs traffic lights etc..
Emergency services need to take the fastest route while ignoring speed limits, traffic lights & signs.
It would be very helpful to have a navigation that made more direct routes that completely disregard these things and give you the absolute fastest route.
Also, it would be awesome if there could also be a toggle option to show fire hydrant icons / locations for firefighters.4 votes -
icons on map view
When I am looking at my three route options, the List view shows my small icons representing events on my suggested paths. But, when I switch to Map view - when I want to SEE what's going on where - those same icons are nowhere to be found.
Having the event icons on the map view (when choosing a route) would help me make a more informed decision on which route to choose because I can see for certain how traffic, accidents, etc. will impact each route and which makes more sense (based upon prior experience on those roads).

Penalise routing through unpaved roads
Problem:
Users with "allow unpaved roads" attribute on the client are oftenly routed through unpaved roads. They complain on why they are routed through these when other routes are available.Description:
Unpaved roads are often rough, uncomfortable and dirty. When the user has selected "allow unpaved roads" they expect to see better routes. When there are no other available options to get to a place, or when the paved option is tens of kilometers longer, then unpaved roads make sense. However, when there are several routes with paved roads and some unpaved roads, users are…3 votes -

Route with fewer holes for recessed or sports cars.
Many people have a lower than normal car. And at least in Brazil it is common streets with many holes and elevations that sometimes can not pass without losing the bumper.

Notifications when screen off, like Google Maps
Google Maps has a very practical feature for travelers who frequently use the same route over and over: Turn your phone screen off, and you'll be notified whenever turns are coming up. If you know the route, maybe it's a long one and you just want to be reminded not to miss turns, it's really useful to have these notifications.
In Google Maps, this notification feature extends really well onto Pebble watches, so your wrist gets a gentle vibration for each upcoming turn while the phone screen is off.
Could Waze please raise turn notifications when the screen is…

More detail on hazards in overview
As a route planner I want to see location and type of hazard - not just the number - when I look at a route overview and possibly in the alternate routes section so that I can be better informed when choosing a route

It’s so hard to add a “what if” route…. Origin and Destination… why are they so hard to set for a future day/time?

Avoir la possibilité de créer plusieurs profiles véhicules et pouvoir les paramétrer avec par exemple les types de routes à eviter et à
Bonjour,
Il serait intéressant de pouvoir avoir la possibilité de créer plusieurs profil de véhicules et de pouvoir les paramétrer chacun différemment (route à éviter et à ne pas emprunter).
Etant automobiliste et motard, je dois à chaque fois, suite au choix de mon véhicule paramétrer les types de routes à éviter et à ne pas prendre.Merci
Cordialement

Please add/return the Separation Line on two-way roads
It helps wazers to arrive on correct side of road.
Give the correct route, without need to duplicate roads...Other option can be using the NUMBERS (houses) of roads to decide what is the correct way/side should be used...

editing routes
I have a route, originally to a street address which I knew, to meet someone whose name I didn't know. Once I learned their name, I wanted to edit the route from the name of the small town where I was headed, to the name of the person I was meeting. I haven't found a way to do that without creating a new route. This seems like an easy modification.

Inverse locations on route
I would like to see one button to switch your starting location and ending destination location in traffic predictor maps. Specifically, I would use this feature to figure out how long it would take me to get back and forth from different locations at different times of day.
I current have to do this in a really time consuming fashion. For example. Say I’m looking up a friends house to stay at overnight and I want to know how long it’ll take me to get from work to their house in traffic. So I would search their address, and…

Add the option to Refresh the Routes offered when in view, or Auto-Refresh them
A few years ago I've asked for a quick button for showing alternative routes, which you've implemented, and for that I'm grateful.
This time I want to ask that the list of Routes be continuously updated, either automatically, or with a "Refresh" button at the top.
Most of the time when I drive to work I know the routes and don't need to look at the map, so I would like just the routes page to open - but it doesn't refresh and I need to keep going out of it and back into it to…9 votes
