Subject: Feature Request: Personal Average Speed Display with Voice Alert
Hi Waze team,
I hope you're doing well. I'd love to suggest a feature that I've found useful in other navigation systems like TomTom AmiGo. It calculates the driver's personal average speed when passing through average speed camera zones. This speed is displayed on-screen and also read out aloud upon exit, ensuring drivers stay aware without having to constantly check their screens.
Adding this to Waze would be a fantastic way to enhance driver awareness and road safety. I hope you'll consider incorporating this functionality into your app.
Thanks for…

Enable the ‘Reports Ahead’ window to update continuously to show the km/miles to the hazard.
Currently, if you go into the ‘reports ahead’ section it will show you the km to the hazard, but if you leave this window open it doesn’t update the km, you have to exit and go back in again to refresh the distance. Can you please provide auto update of distance on this screen. Thank you.

Different preferences while navigating
There are several settings that I want to change according to whether or not I am navigating to a destination. Please give up options like "on when navigating, off when not navigating" in addition to the existing "on"/"off" options.
For example, I should be able to make the following settings:
North Up when not navigating; actual or desired travel direction up when
navigating;2D view when not navigating; 3D view when navigating;
Auto zoom off when not navigation; Auto zoom by distance when navigating.

"Favorite" Hazard Button on Main Screen
ADD single-push hazard button on main screen that activates "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder Ahead," which has to be the NO. 1 hazard all drivers face and encounter.
Pressing 5 buttons to alert others of a "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder Ahead" is a hazard itself. Now, we click the "Alert" button, then we click the "Hazard" button, then we click the "Shoulder" button, then we click the "Vehicle Stopped" button, then we click the "Send" button.
On my bi-weekly 3-hour trips, I go through that routine 20 times per trip. Clicking 5 buttons for ANYTHING discourages people from using…

Introduce a new routing option for CO2 reduction
Provide a new navigation option that reduces the CO2 emissions in a typical combustion engine vehicle. Possibly balancing speed vs. distance this can be optimized.
Imagine the impact on the environment if millions of vehicles used this navigation option!2 votes -

Alerts
I think the alerts of radar ahead or law enforcement ahead (no sure of the actual terminology) should be deleted. With so many law enforcement shootings this lets those wanting to do harm to them know exactly where they are.
It makes them a sitting duck.3 votes -
Lock the route
Once WAZE sets the initial route, let me press a button to lock the directions so they don't change while I'm en route. Often if I'm driving on a freeway (in LA) I will get random instructions to "make a U-turn (on the 405?)" or to turn on some surface street. I assume its because the app is re-calculating as I go or doesn't recognize that I did take the correct off-ramp, but these unnecessary commands are distracting and its hard to tell which are valid and which are not. Obviously if I DO make a mistake in following the…

Alerts now Overlap Turn-by-Turn
The on-screen messaging has become very large in the new Android Auto UI - Turn-by-Turn is big, buttons across the top overlay the map...
When an alert comes on the screen now, it is also quite large but the problem is that it's positioned over some turn-by-turn info that you may really need at that moment in time.
Can you reposition the alert or make it smaller, or give us an option to use Medium font for the UI instead of jumbo? I get that it's easier to glance at when driving, but we need to see the really important…1 vote -
Waze RoadTrip- A New Option for Wazers
You will likely want to hear an idea that will expand your audience and retain your current customer base.
Recently, I embarked on an excursion from Orlando, FL to Charleston, SC. It’s a fairly short road trip, but within those 6 hours, I wondered to myself how great it would be to see more than just the highway in front of me and the trees that lined the road. I quickly grew exhausted from seeing the same paved road, white lines, and billboard signs over and over again.
I turned to my boyfriend with two hours left on our trip…

Toll amount display should adjust as you go along trip. Just like distance and time.
I live in an area of Florida (US) that has toll roads everywhere, It would be nice if as you pass a toll, the toll amount displayed would adjust to what amount remains as opposed to the unchanged toll total for the trip. Just like Time and mileage adjust so you know whats left. It is much more informative to know how much you have left to help decide if getting off a toll road makes sense or not.

Pick and choose specific alerts
I'd like to be able to pick and choose alerts. I find that hearing "approaching a railroad crossing" every day on the way to work is just annoying. I'm thinking to myself "no ****, Sherlock". Really, the only thing I'm concerned about is where the smokeys are hiding.
8 votesGreat news! Customizing your alert is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

I would love to have speed limits added to the app. It would help avoid traps. Because knowing a cop is ahead doesn't help Without it
I would love to see the speed limit added to the app with an alert letting you know it is about to change! Because knowing a cop is ahead doesn't no good if there is a speed cage over a hill and the cop is setting there! There are traps set up like this all over. And this would eleminate small town traps.

A more differentiated reporting
Using Waze is a great thing. However, sometimes you would like to alert fellow Wazers but you can't find the right report.
Thus, we would need i.e. an automatic differentiation of alert types depending if your are driving through the city or on a highway. Should be easily doable due to GPS information. Furthermore, a wider differentiation is especially true b/c some of the reports just don't fit to the situation.

Waze seems to find destination that are in other countries. Please allow setting of limits on the distance and/or locations. I am in Canada and I've gotten destinations in England. I drive a car, not a boat.

Waze should have Patch Notes for every update. Let Users know what has changed with each new version (dropped support, improved support etc)
Patch Notes, like those implemented in every online game in the past two decades, would drastically reduce User issue-reporting (with the app) due to misunderstanding of which Waze features are supported, which are not, which features have lost support and where etc.
Just every time the User updates the app, upon next sign-in, just flash a dialogue box with the latest patch notes (perhaps a link).
As an aside: the Help Center could be more clear and specific about how certain features (e.g., speed camera alerts) work. The exact parameters for getting audible speed camera alerts are not…
