Route Preview Option
You select a route, then press the "Route Preview" button. Map view will then zoom to your current location and travel down the selected route as if you were driving. The map pans down the route so that you can see all the things you will be dealing with along the way without having to scroll around the map with your finger. Adding a "preview speed (1x, 2x, 3x, etc)" and a "pause preview" option would be a great addition to this.

Expensify integration
We use Expensify to report our expenses including milage reimbursement. It would be great if the recorded drives could be used in Expensify.

Snow removal equipment
I was in Maryland during the recent blizzard. I was able to make the return drive to Pittsburgh on Monday. The roads where clear, however road crews were doing snow removal on the shoulders, left and right. I found during my drive the crews were often on turns and had I had no warning to be able to change lanes for safe distance.
That's when I thought of a SNOW PLOW notification. It would include a left or right choice and on road or shoulder choice. Moving or stationary would be a choice too, but might be a bit much…

Add divided street option
Waze doesn't differentiate when a street has a median that blocks the ability to get to a destination. Add another option similar to elevation or direction but that requires Waze to navigate to the other driving direction for the street. This would allow editors to update Waze streets without having to split them for the same functionality.

Always show typical route
I often drive the same route, and Waze likes to offer alternatives. Fine, but always show my typical route so I can evaluate whether saving 2 minutes on a 2 hour drive is worth taking some magical mystery tour.

Increase the menu arrow on Android Auto
When using Waze on Android Auto, the arrow to the menu "Routes, Stop, Search Sound" should be bigger; it's too tiny for us to be sure that is already selected (without having a touchscreen unit) during the day, especially bright ones, during the drive.

Don't send me driving into a fire zone in San Francisco.
Driving around SF last Tuesday morning. Used Waze and was directed into an area where there was a huge fire which had been ongoing for a few hours.
And later that afternoon (7-hours later) it directed me again to the area still closed by that very fire.

After the last update waze has become worse
Dear developers.
(If you are still reading this)
No offense, but, after each update,
waze, it is getting worse and worse.
a feeling that you want to screw up this application,
that all was abandoned.
I confess, and I have such a thought slips, carry waze and go on something else. the good thing laid a lot.
Lord, developers do not need to invent or anything, just carefully read the user reviews.
After the last update waze began to fail even more. It lost a lot of functions, such as viewing events. the interface is not convenient! stael more children,…6 votes -
Stop making changes that are NOT helpful! Please
Hiding the alternative routes process and replacing with an unlabeled icon was not helpful. Also, where did the option to see an overview of your drive go?

Regular commute notification
Like most of people, I have a regular work schedule, my commute to work is always the same time and route. I do not have to check my navigation app every morning, but when something unusual happens on my route, I think I should be notified.
Most of us are using navigation apps when traveling, or going somewhere for the first time. But most of our driving time is commuting to work. We should be able to program our commuting times and routes in these apps for whatever schedule we have. If we are driving fide days a week from…

Spotify voice commands
It's very dangerous that someone has access to Spotify when driving with Waze but can't use voice commands to interact with it. By not implemening voice command compatibility with Spotify, Waze makes it dangerous for drivers to control their music. Compare that to Android auto, which does let you use voice commands to control your music.

Bicycle navigation and bike routes for waze!!! Please!!
Can you please add bicycle routes to the app and ways to avoid roads that go over a certain speed limit? The option to set your vehicle as a bicycle and find routes like that avoid high speed roads and roads that dont allow bikes conbined with all of the other great functions of the app will be fantastic...
But since you don't have the feature so many bicyclists won't get to navigate with your app and get the same benefits that car drivers have... I really need a navigator for bikers that shows the speed limits of the…

Use Go later for far away places
I often use the “go later” feature to plan drive times when I travel. Unfortunately it doesn’t work when the place is far away. For example, if I am currently in the US but traveling to the UK next week and I want to know how long it will take to drive from my hotel in London to Heathrow airport on a Thursday morning.
I search for Heathrow and then click “go later” but before I can change the starting location as my hotel, it throws an error message because it tries to calculate the route from where I am…

Display route with toll and no toll
When navigating to a place, display on the map the route with tolls and the route with no tolls. Having to turn on and off the avoid toll to compare both routes is an extra step that can be eliminated when planning a drive.

Switching between motor profile and car mode
Now the motorcycle mode is available, multiple cyclists report the need of quick switching between motor and car mode to avoid driving in the wrong mode. Suggestion: once the motor mode has been active, startup the client with a message "What will you be driving this trip?" Defaulting to the last mode used and giving alternatives "Motor, Car" and checkbox (forget I'm a motorbiker)
10 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

Enable creation of a hyperlink to send to friends to meet up. They can click to navigate usin new web based non app you will develop or ....
So you can share meetups on an email create a location hyperlink button for email meeting up "create location hyperlink". This goes to wase app if thry have it or allows downloading of waze or maybe you can make a web lite version for basic navigation. Or google maps link that promotes waze. You'll still get them to download waze eventually but makes a quick user enhancement without any development time.

I would love to get a notification when entering a new state while driving, such as "welcome to New York," I find it helpful when navigating to know when I have reached a new state

Autodetect closures and closed roads
Waze should automatically detect closures and close roads without relying on Wazers to use the in-app closure function or on map editors to add them. Just as Waze can detect traffic and reroute, it could also detect when no one follows the directed guidance and there is zero traffic on a segment. Then when Wazer start driving on the segment again it could reopen.
Google Maps (part of Google Geo) gets closure info from Waze. And Waze (part of Google Geo) should also get closure info from Google Maps. It doesn't now, and instead will route Wazers into a closed…
