If I Search for Home Depot and there are 10 stores within my area, please list them in order of driving time
Search Sort order should allow choice for by driving time. So if I’m choosing which store to go to for a chain store that has multiple locations and it’s rush hour, I can choose the quickest one to get to, which is not necessarily the closest.

These additional maneuvers could replace standard left/right and to design better driving instructions.

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.

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.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Interface - needs to revert to 3.x
The new interface looks childish and is unusable in landscape mode. The next instruction box at the top is too big. The notifications are horribly big, and the ones that show when you stop at a traffic light are worse, with the black background.
The map looks drawn by a 4 years old in crayon, seems to lack a lot of the information it had on v3.x., the map lines are too wide.
Having functions that only show when you tap the screen is very bad in usability terms.
To top all that, the interface is so heavy that it…6 votes -
Add "time to park" in calendar synch.
I have several meetings to drive to every day. Some take 15-20 minutes to park and get to the meetings. I would love a field to add that parking time, to better calculate the "time to go" function. I could use a fake time in my calendar, but with multiple meetings in a day one others relying on my calendar, that doesn't work well.

Increase the contrast / Change colors at the top + Larger alert when route changes
A couple of times I missed the change of route because the alert it too minimal. I drive with no waze sound, so I do not hear the change. I think this is a critical improvement because of the time you can loose when you miss the change. Thanks!

Yellow Box Junction Cameras
TLDR Version: At the moment on Waze you can only report either speed cameras, red light cameras or fake cameras, having a 'yellow box junction' camera would be a logical and great addition imho.
Non TLDR Version: Yellow box junction cameras drive me nuts (for those not UK based these are cameras that make sure yellow box junctions - ie boxes marked on the road to stop drivers stopping at the entrance to a side junction and blocking it), mainly because not all yellow boxes are enforced with cameras (so drivers from all angles enter it and the only way…

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.

Option to close waze without confirming or double tapping screen
I use waze on every drive, due to this my phone is always logged in when driving (use a pin to access). While sitting in traffic one evening 2 robbers forced my window down, unlocked my car, opened the door and grabbed my phone. I would appreciate if an option could be added to close waze without confirming or by double tapping the screen in order for a phone to lock itself asap so that it can't be used or accessed. This would be much easier to do in a state of panic than to press the power/lock button on…

I have an idea: Many people drive without glasses for close-up and then they don't see what's written on the screen while driving. For example, a driver might be speeding, so he should have a voice announcement saying, "You're driving too fast, it's dangerous."

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. -
Ability to Select HOV Routes in Carplay
Right now, when checking different routes, you cannot select an HOV route in Carplay (they just do not show up). You can still select it in the iOS app, but for some reason the Carplay app won't accept the route when you select it from the app. It requires you to select a route on the Carplay app (which doesn't include the HOV routes).
The only workaround I found is to set the HOV route before you connect to Carplay, but if you update the route during the trip, it loses the HOV route ability unless you disconnect Carplay while…

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!

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 -

We want a remote to go with app! It's not always safe to post alerts when driving and sometimes I don't post them quick enough. If you offered a remote with app, I would pay for it!
