Integrate support for KML files into the app
Add option to import favorites from a KML file (talking about 1500+ points of interest). Only reason today I'm using iGo instead of 100% waze is the option to use KML files.

record my present location like favorite
now it's difficult to add favorites.
I think, it's would be great to be able to add our location like a new favorite location.
People are use to be in their favorite locations2 votesThis can already be done today…
On touch screen you have to do a long press on your location (or any location on the map) and you will see the option to save it.
On non-touch you just need to hit the main button (usually “OK” or “enter”) and this will allow you to save the location.If you feel like this description is not good enough, please write to alpha@waze.com

Set existing favorite as "Home" or "Work"
Right now, you can only set "Home" and "Work" by searching for an address. Most of the time, New Zealand (and I'm guessing other international addresses too) do not return an accurate result.
The work around is to create another two favorites called home and work that are based off GPS position and use those.
As a user, it would simply make sense for Waze to allow me to set a favorite as my "home" or "work".

feature suggestion, pop up reports when there are traffic issues to any of the destinations on your favorites list
we all have favorites saved. waze should pop up a warning when it detects we are travelling and warn of accidents and such in a route to any of the destinations, we could then click to find an alternate route and have from there. also, what about a warning when there are serious accidents near home and work locations.

Add "find best time to leave" for favorites/history
It used to be possible to look up future ETA for favorited locations or locations from history, but recent updates have removed this feature, making it impossible to search for the best time to leave for a favorited Work or Home location, or anything I've searched before. I've been working around by selecting new locations in the vicinity that I haven't previously searched, but I'm running out of nearby shops and addresses to use. Please add this feature back!

Set permanent preferred routes for common commute such as: home to work and work to home
Set permanent preferred routes for common commute such as: home to work and work to home. Most people already have a set route preferred from home to work and back. Also set ways to drive to the everyday shopping stores. For those common commutes, it would be useful if Waze would give you your preferred route for the routes you have established in the favorites menu to location, rather than one based on set rules. It would be even more interesting if waze can learn your preferred routes when you commute to locations set in the Favorites list.
308 votesGreat news! Setting your preferred route is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Put it back to the way you had it I lost all my favorites you change the whole thing I liked it the way it was before
My idea is put the app back the way you had it with everything separated my favorites the stars the flags you screwed up my whole app. I liked it the way it was. It was easier to use cause all I had to do was going to my favorites and find the one that I needed now I have to go through everything to find the one that I want half of them are missing.

the long list just below the Favorites bullet? is there a way to not accumulate those? I don't need them. in fact if i could hit the litt
i would prefer not to have the list accumulating every place i've been. if i could just go straight to favorites from the map that would be great

The Golden Girls as voice options
As a fan of classic sitcoms, "The Golden Girls" is one of my favorites. I think it would be awesone to have Dorothy Zbornak (Bea Arthur), Blanche Devereaux (Rue McClanahan), Rose Nylund (Betty White) and Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty) as navigaton voice options.
533 votesThank you for your suggestion. We will add this voice request to our User Request wish-list.

recent drives
So when I choose a saved favorite, it never appears under recent drives. It would be very helpful if it did because I constantly have to scroll through my favorites when looking for this recent drive. Please have all recent drives appear in recent drives, even if they are saved favorites! Love Waze! And thanks!

Clean Favorite's Route
It'd be great if we could "clean" out history of favorites routes.
Sometimes we need that the system creates a new route because the traffic became inviable through that favorite route, but the system doesn't consider this option.2 votes -
A 'University' stock favorite like 'Home & Work'
It would be nice to be able to have another stock favorite, like Home and Work, called University.
I know I can have it just as a favorite, but I think having a 'University' tab under 'Work' and above 'Favorites' would be convenient. It could be optional too, that way it won't bother wazers who don't go to a University.4 votes -
Please make it easier to save favorites
Trying to save a place, even after the help screens is very difficult.

Have a “favorites” section to store names with their addresses so we don’t have to look up the address every time. .
Have a “favorites” section where we can store names with their address to keep from having to add the address every time. I like using Waze even if I know where I’m going because my way may not be the fastest way that day.

Waze profile integration with website
Ability to sync browser with app - so you can manage icons, favorites, plan trips/multi leg routes before getting into the car. Much easier to plan with multiple browser windows open looking up destinations, locations.
Also, favorites folders/categorization so a road trip can be planned with one-time destinations that can be managed/deleted after the road trip has been completed.

Favorite Hazards
I think there should be a "favorites" or "frequently used" option when it comes to notifying others of a hazard. Users could store their own. I know my most frequently used one is "Hazard. On shoulder. Vehicle stopped." You have to click through so many things... but if there was a favorite option stored, you could do it in one click.

Android Auto - Allow Waze destination "history" to be displayed as part of Android Auto.
"Native" Waze on my android phone shows past historical destinations when I initiate a new destination search. When using Waze as part of Android Auto - only destination favorites are shown. Please allow Waze to show historical destination list when used in Android Auto.

multiple workplaces
I work at two locations throughout the week. Previous to this job I enjoyed that my work was always easily accessible at the top of the suggestions list. Now that i work at two locations, i wish i still had this option. I currently have them both saved under my favorites, but this requires me to click into the favorites folder, meaning i have to navigate multiple screens rather than having my destination pinned at the top. This simple change would be a major QOL upgrade for any Wazer with multiple workplaces.

Problem with your new version
Your new version requires me to re-establish favorites, then it doesn't allow me to enter them. Recommend you fix that. I've entered my "work" address 6-7 times, and it never registers. Ditto home. All my favorites have been blanked out.
Best I can tell, the new version has effectively disabled the "favorites" function.

Apple Car Play Issue
I love the Apple CarPlay feature. The only issue I have is the black search/favorites/voice bar doesn’t disappear as it does in Google maps. It takes up valuable map space. Could you please, in a future update, create a disappearing black bar after map is up? Thank you.
5 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!
