  1. go back to previous route planner as today the version is proposing strange routes and for sure not the best anymore

    since 3 or 4 updates , the efficiency is going down !!!!

    traffic not updated live

    routes proposed not anymore efficient : strange proposals => software lost in efficiency not proposing the best route and consistent alternatives or not proposing appropriate deviations saving really time

    sory but I will stop using it as now google maps is becoming very effective !!!

  2. Collaborative Routing

    Waze works like the most other Navigation Apps. You can choose between 1 and 3 different fixed routes, that sometimes slightly change when there is a lot of traffic ahead. The problem is, that Waze works like a broadcast as far as I know.

    So when Route 1 have heavy traffic, all other users get Route 2 to avoid traffic. The problem here is, that new heavy traffic will be created to avoid the first.

    All cars following the same alternative route.

    Instead of rely on fixed routes, each user should get a personal routing suggestion l, each Route little…

  3. Feature Request: Co-Drive Functionality

    Every year, I go on vacation with my family and friends, and we always rely on the Waze app, which has been incredibly helpful for all of us.

    I’d like to suggest a new feature that could enhance the experience for groups traveling in multiple cars: a Co-Drive functionality. The idea is to allow users who are part of the same travel group to see each other’s locations on the map during the trip. This would be especially useful if one vehicle makes an unplanned stop—at a gas station or store, for example—so the rest of the group can stay…

  4. Stop the app from opening itself, its becoming sentient

    Waze keeps opening itself and draining my battery by running in the background
    This also happens while I sleep.

  5. gas stations / resting places

    Hi Wazers,
    just came back from holidays by car, driving around 2500km. The navigation works perfect with Waze, BUT it was reaaaally difficult to find the right gas stations and/or resting places along the route.
    For example, we were driving from Karlsruhe (Germany) to Budapest (Hugnary) with two children and it would have been extremely helpful to know and see Esso gas stations along the road for the following 1000km (having an Esso-Card) and all the resting places and what they serve (Mc Donald's etc.). This way it would have been great to plan the trip and to know when…

  6. 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.

  7. Registration plate recognition and automatic tagging of police vehicles

    Due to the proliferation of unmarked police cars and unmarked mobile speed cameras (parked cars) with no warning signs, it is now necessary to take it one step further and use the video feed from dash cams (both front and rear) and character recognition to automatically tag a police vehicle by its registration plate (after that registration plate has been manually tagged). If a user is travelling with that vehicle, the vehicle's location would be updated live. Once that user breaks away from the police vehicle, the location would then be picked up and updated live by other Waze users…

  8. Voice Activation

    Can be used to confim/add road hazards and traffic situations. Example: hey siri, car stopped on shoulder or hey siri, confirm road stopped and it will add it. A app called Yazio does something similar where you can add 12 oz of water to your daily intake (calorie counter app)

  9. Advertise the Waze app on billboards in high traffic areas

    I think if Waze advertised the App in particularly high traffic areas, Waze could ultimately get tons of new users and the ability to ease traffic. For example, I live in Williamsburg, Virginia and travel I-64 daily to get to work in Hampton. It's about 33 miles one way. Currently, I-64 is under construction to widen it. During the summer time frame, there are approximately, 20,000 more drivers on this busy section a day that are headed to Virginia Beach and/or the Outer Banks of North Carolina for vacation. You can imagine what happens in the stop and go traffic…

  10. disable pop-ups

    Please give us a way to disable the pop-ups. I don’t care that there’s a car stopped on the side of the road in 4/10 of a mile. I can’t see what’s happening in 4/10 of a mile but I just missed my exit because the pop-up covered the details that I need to know now.

  11. REINSTATING THE PREVIOUSLY USED ADDRESSES FUNCTION WHILE DRIVING

    Prior to driving to a new area or a new destination I will drop in addresses/locations into Waze and use them as waypoints as I am traveling. Also, when I am in a new area and I have previously found businesses, etc. that I frequent I would like to be able to have access to those address locations while I am driving like before. Now with the new voice only look up of a business while driving I no longer have access to said previously located addresses or waypoints while driving. I cannot begin to tell you how frustrating this…

  12. Add STOP sign camera notifications in jurisdictions where they are being installed. They are spreading rapidly as a new revenue source.

  13. Add forward, back buttons on pop ups

    I would love to see a forward and back button on the pop up notifications. Many times I'll glance down and slightly catch what the pop up said, but It's gone and I'm unable to go back through it. Then when I stop again I see the same ones over. It would be nice to scroll through because not all are important to the driver.

  14. Route with less traffic even if it takes longer

    I hate stop and go traffic. I don't mind a longer travel if it means avoiding stop and go traffic.

    Please add option to take alternate route that avoids heavy traffic even if it takes like 10 minutes longer. User should be able to set how much longer.

  17. Stop sending warning about available Waze updates, esp. on a Holiday

    EVERY time I update Waze I have a subsequent problem. Today, the Memorial holiday in the USA, I get a notification of a Waze update available. I am aware of this update since February 9th.
    1. EVERY time I update Waze I have problems. My current problem that has existed since I last updated is that when I click on the notice at the top of my Galaxy S4 for 'its time to start driving' the destination information disappears.
    2. I have reviewed the information on the Waze update still to download and I DO NOT NEED a voice recorder…

  18. Stop search results from auto-updating too quickly while driving

    Whenever I'm driving, using Android Auto and search for gas stations under the categories option, I'm really only able to view the first and second results. There are more results that are presented that I can scroll down to. However, after about a second or less, the results update and scroll back up to the top of the list. This only started happening in the last year or so. It used to work where you could scroll down through the results while in motion but this no longer works. Can you bring this back so that the search functionality is…

  20. Stop Waze from sending trucks in front of my house.

    Oregon Trail in Pittsburgh is posted against trucks for "local deliveries only". Oregon Trail intersects with a trucking route which is Connor Road, part of the Yellow Belt. Waze is directing trucks onto Oregon Trail causing noise disturbances, traffic blockages and is de-valuating my property. Please fix this ASAP. Pete
