advanced warning for upcoming turn
Need to know what the next two turns are, not just the next one.
30 votes -
I am a daily user of the waze app. It is great!! I am interested to know when you will have it work on the Apple Watch.
I have used the Maps app on the iPhone recently that coordinated with my Apple Watch and it was a nice combination. My watch would vibrate when the next turn was going to happen and also show on my watch for a quick glance.
30 votesThank you for your suggestion! We are currently not planning on adding Apple Watch support.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s blog and social pages on Facebook and Instagram. -
BlackBerry Q10
Can you please release an app for the BB Q10 ?
If developing a native app is not in the cards - can you modify an existing app to work on the BB 10 platform ? as there are apps that work on the Z10 but not on the Q10 - please make sure that it works on both ....
please let us know if there are any plans for this release - we are loyal to Waze and to BB and are eagerly awaiting this omission to be corrected .30 votes -

Indiquer un animal vivant ou mort
Bonjour,
Avec votre récente Mise à jour il n’est désormais plus possible d’indiquer lorsque un animal vivant se trouve sur la route ou aux abords de la route. Option très importante pour éviter un accident.
De plus il n’est plus possible de spécifier lorsque l’ « objet » se trouvant sur la route est un animal mort ..
Ce qui était également très important pour se préparer au choc visuel de voir un animal gisant sans vie sur le bitume.
Est-il possible de remettre en place ces options si précieuses ?
Merci d’avance.

Speed limit announcement
It would be nice if speed limits on the motorways could already be announced in advance (with distance information, e.g. 120 km/h in 800 m). I got to know and love this function in Sygic Car Navigation...
This saves fuel and brakes...

Customize your Waze map!!!
I suggest that in Waze, in the settings menu and then in map display, you can customize the map...
Example : Highway in red, Departmental in purple...And that the "Map Editor" mode be available at night...

Upcoming Speed limit
It would be great if Waze could give a(n optional) warning if a speed limit comes up (similar to construction area warning). This enables the driver to lower the speed before - instead of brake down the speed when the limited zone begins.
This would be very helpful especially on German motorways, which haven’t a general limit and where you have to brake hard e.g. before construction areas.29 votes -
Mixed routing strategy (Fastest, shortest, economical,... and others to come)
The "best" route is often a matter of personnal compromise.
It's often a mix of fastest, shortest, and more and more road cost / fuel economy.
I suggest we add a "Mixed" routing strategy, that could follow our preferences.We could think of a system starting with 100 points that the user would share among the different "strategies" of routing.
For instance, one could set :
* Fastest : 50 points
* Shortest : 30 points
* Economy : 20 points.That has the big advantage to allow other routing strategy for future.
* Less traffic lights : 5 points
* Less train crossing : 10 points
* Nice points of view : 5 points
* etc...of course, total points would always have to be 100 points. As i said, routing is a matter of compromise. :)
I hope this can help waze users and developpers.
Best regards

Indicateur de vitesse
Bonjour
Ajouter une option pour gérer la taille, position et la couleur de l'indicateur de vitesse. Les smartphones sont de plus en plus grands, l'indicateur est trop petit, l'option pourrait être x2,x3,x4, voir x5. Pour la couleur, quand il passe rouge, il est impossible de lire la valeur indiquée. L'indicateur pourrait prendre quasi la moitié de l'écran

Allow HOV lanes to be selected in Android Auto
Allow HOV Lanes to be used in Android Auto
Regular Waze allows for HOV routing, but android auto does not allow this selection. It will remember your routing before you enter android auto, but it will not allow switching of routings in the android auto version of the app.

WazeCoin, the NFT of Waze
I'd like to share with you an idea I recently had to try to increase Waze user engagement with the app. Launch an NFT that will be linked to the points that are fetched in the app.
First, we have to understand what an NFT (Non fungible Token) is: A non-fungible token is a special type of cryptographic token that represents something unique. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and many other utility tokens, NFTs are not mutually interchangeable. A fungible item, such as money, can be exchanged for another.
So it would be to create a currency, which would be linked to the points obtained in the application that could be traded between its holders and between Waze. When interacting with the application with a login created, the user would earn points that would be automatically converted into WazeCoins, for example, 1000 points would be 100 WazeCoins, but this can be defined after a study of ease or difficulty in obtaining the points.
Here are some usage examples:
- In the virtual store you could buy stickers for 100 WazeCoins, shirts for 500 WazeCoins and other items produced by Waze, such as hats, mugs, etc.
- Create different moods that could only be obtained by exchanging for WazeCoins, and in this regard, moods with different degrees of rarity could be launched: very rare (1-100) that would be worth many WazeCoins, rare moods (101-1000), medium mood (1,000) -100,000), common moods (100,000 – 1,000,000).
- WazeCoins could also be used as payment on Waze's marketing platform.
- People who don't have enough points or don't use the app to “mine” points (WazeCoins), could buy from users who have it or even from Waze directly.
Currency value:
The value of WazeCoin would initially be determined by the initial launched quantity and demand of it, and Waze could have control over this value, releasing more coins into the market. It could align the value of the coin to the value of the products in the store.
Thus, Waze could profit a lot from the currency appreciation or not, there goes Waze's interest in how to manage WazeCoins.I'd like to share with you an idea I recently had to try to increase Waze user engagement with the app. Launch an NFT that will be linked to the points that are fetched in the app.

Ad option under navigation for "fastest route".
It seems shortest distance (in miles) is the option Waze gives. In one case, Waze tries to take me over and around the mountain which is actually longer due to very sharp curves.

WaterWaze - River Safety
I am a kayaker and I know I see a LOT of folks on Facebook trying to figure out where items of importance/danger are on their paths - sweepers (trees that have fallen over the water but not gone under), strainers (trees that have fallen into the water, and other debris, as well as places that are good to put-in and take out, or such places that might not be accessible anymore. Water levels/gauges, dams, bridges, shallow spots, dangerous spots... the ability for someone on the water to note any of these things and have it available (especially if there's a way to add a note - "Rocks to left, stay river right") is not only handy, but potentially life-saving. Instead of a vehicle stopped along the road, lost equipment can be noted, such as a kayak that's finally popped loose of a strainer. Basically, it's the same usefulness (if not more, considering how dangerous the water can be), the same premise... just instead of road, you're using waterways and instead of cars and accidents, you're noting conditions and hazards.

Police speed trap trends
Instead of only showing current police speed traps, have a toggle options for where police tend to sit and wait. "police hot zone" kind of idea. "police have been reported at this time for the last three days" kind of warning. This will not only help avoid tickets, but get people to slow down in the more "dangerous" areas

White turning arrows
Hi.Great app but recent change is little bit confusing.I’m talking about white arrows at turns.At distance to the junction it’s not clear and instantly obvious which way you should go.Before your route was continuously of certain colour but now because turns are white specifically,it is less visible.If turns were of different colour then white or perhaps the same colour as the whole route,it would be easier to see it straight away “without looking “ if you know what I mean.One more suggestion-when you get one of the routes taking you across the river Thames using ferry service,route time doesn’t include waiting for the ferry or crossing time itself so is not precise at all.I recently used this option and my route was longer by about 45 min.Is there anything that could be done about it?Best regards.Tomasz
