I really wish bookmarks were easier. Like, creating folders. I drive 5 hours a day, work 4. The places I visit are frequent, but there's so many of them. I would love it if there can be folders created so I just tap on that folder for say, Northeast PA sites, or Eastern PA sites, etc.

advanced warning for upcoming turn
Need to know what the next two turns are, not just the next one.

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.

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 -

Ability to Report “Automated License Plate Reader” Cameras (ALPR Cameras/Flock Cameras)
I’m writing as a Waze user with a feature suggestion that I believe fits naturally with what has made Waze such a valuable navigation platform… giving drivers useful, community-sourced information about the roads they travel.
I would like to ask Waze to consider adding the ability for users to report fixed automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras, including systems commonly known as Flock cameras.
Waze already empowers its community to share information about police presence, red-light cameras, speed cameras, crashes, hazards, construction, and other conditions that may be relevant to drivers. As automated surveillance technology becomes increasingly common along public roadways, I believe drivers should similarly have the ability to know when they are passing infrastructure specifically designed to identify and record vehicle movements.
For me, this is ultimately an issue of transparency and informed choice.
Whatever someone’s personal opinion of ALPR technology may be, these systems can collect information about ordinary people simply as they travel through their communities. Many drivers may not recognize the cameras, understand what they do, or even realize that their vehicle information is being collected. A small, neutral icon within Waze identifying a known ALPR location would give users information without telling them what to think about it.
There is also an important distinction between providing transparency and facilitating wrongdoing. Waze already demonstrates that potentially sensitive roadway information can be presented responsibly. An ALPR reporting feature could be designed around fixed, publicly visible infrastructure and could simply inform users that an automated license plate reader has been reported at that location.
I believe such a feature would reinforce one of the principles that makes Waze unique: the road is experienced by a community, and members of that community should be able to help one another understand the environment through which they are traveling.
Technology will continue to change the relationship between public spaces, transportation, privacy, and surveillance. Navigation platforms have an opportunity to ensure that increased technological capability is accompanied by increased public awareness.
I hope Waze will seriously consider allowing the community to report ALPR cameras as part of its existing reporting ecosystem. Even if implementation requires careful consideration, I believe the conversation itself is worthwhile.
Thank you for taking the time to consider the suggestion and for continuing to build a navigation platform shaped by the people who actually use the roads.

*NEW* hazard notification for roadkill
Dear my WAZE PPL
First, I want to thank waze for creating such an outstanding navigation tool that helps so many drivers stay informed and safe on the road. I truly appreciate how the app continuously evolves to meet the needs of its users.
I’d like to suggest a potential improvement to the “Hazards” feature. While the current options, such as “Objects on Road,” are helpful, I believe there’s an opportunity to make the app even more informative and user-friendly by adding an alert specifically for roadkill or deceased animals on the road.
In my area, it’s common to encounter wildlife-related hazards on the road, which can pose significant safety concerns, especially at night or in areas with limited visibility. A dedicated alert, such as “Animal Hazard” or “Animal on Road,” could help address this issue while maintaining respectful and inclusive terminology. This phrasing would cover both live animals and roadkill, ensuring clarity without being off-putting.
I hope you’ll consider this enhancement to further improve Waze’s utility and safety for its users, Thank you for your time.
Best regards,

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...

Allow entering destinations while driving.
Passengers should be able to use the app while the car is on the road, same for drivers trying to change destinations during a red light.

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 -
Display the name of the town/City that i am currently driving through.
Simply Display In some small way, the name of the town I am currently driving in. Sometimes it would be nice to know the name of the town I currently am driving through, Ie. because some police departments use different types of cars, colors etc. If I knew the name of the town I was in... I would know what to look for. Or simply if I am even in the town of my destination. There are multiple reasons this could be useful. I know in some instances it shows it on the map but is too distracting while driving to find this information imprinted on the map. A quick glance would be so much better if it was always displayed.

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

Place Updates and Approvals with Chat
We chat with users that send URs.
It will be helpful to chat to users that add places or update places with info and or pictures.
I have found myself having to make a judgement call on accepting or rejecting places based on information that is unclear.
It would be nice if we could ask for clarification.30 votesAdminElla (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

Waze based stand alone GPS unit
My cell phone is WAY too distracting to me. I know I should leave it set to waze only, but all the notifications distract me. I really need a stand alone unit that only does Waze so that I can leave my phone in the back and not touch it while I am driving. It looks like Garmin has traffic updates, but I would rather have Waze.

Speedometer Contrast Issue
In reference to speedometer contrast issue during daytime. Black and Red too similar for daytime glare. At night it is sufficient, perhaps have a daytime contrast theme separate from night-time.
