REINSTATING THE PREVIOUSLY USED ADDRESSES FUNCTION WHILE DRIVING
Prior to driving to a new area or a new destination I will drop in addresses/locations into Waze and use them as waypoints as I am traveling. Also, when I am in a new area and I have previously found businesses, etc. that I frequent I would like to be able to have access to those address locations while I am driving like before. Now with the new voice only look up of a business while driving I no longer have access to said previously located addresses or waypoints while driving. I cannot begin to tell you how frustrating this…

Automate road closure Report
It is difficult to report road closures in real time - especially on a freeway - because of the approach speed and unexpected driving adjustment. If Waze inquired why I missed a turn/off-on ramp it would be helpful. This is similar to when Waze asks "you slowed down - are you in traffic?" If Waze notices that I missed a turn/off-on ramp it should ask "you missed a turn- was there a road closure ?" This way I can report later ( give me 60 secs) when safe. If I just missed the turn because I was distracted or chose…

Being able to report closed roads when you are not at it
We need to be able to report closed roads when we are not staring at it or driving. I hate that I can only report closures when I'm there. If I know the road is closed I should be able to report that from a safe place or after the drive. I get that it needs to be verified, but it seems like we should be able to do that by linking state/county reports.

Hi. The new version is bad
Old was better. Please change so we can see all warnings for accident. Police. Roadwork. And so on. Always and not only when we have navigation activated. Wanna see it all in 1 place as before. Many drive with app open without navigation activated. And if we only can see on navigation road. We miss important Info. And if it is like now only showed on navigation road...then we also miss it if we make a quick detour . This is not good. Take old system back. WHY DID YOU CHANGE IT ? And…4 votes -
Need to distinguish between HOV and Express/HOT/Toll lanes
Maybe this is California specific, but we have both HOV lanes, which require 2+ passengers but have no toll required, and then we have Express Lanes, which are toll lanes that you can drive in regardless of number of passengers, but do require a toll (paid for via a transponder - Fastrak in CA).
I drive by myself so I cannot use the HOV lanes, but I do have a Fastrak transponder so I can use the Express lanes. But if I tell Waze that I have Fastrak, it automatically also routes me on the HOV lanes, which I cannot…

Modify Waze CarPlay
Waze in CarPlay does not correctly visualize the routes to choose them, it does not correctly show the distance, nor does it show the costs of tolls or highways, that information should be available on the CarPlay screen, since according to current laws you cannot take your cell phone while driving.

Limiting typing while "driving" does more harm
Voice only while driving limitation is only making the driving much more distracting and dangerous in certain non-english areas such as Bulgaria for example. Where the voice commands are not working properly. I want for my passenger to be able to type in an address while I am driving, so I won't be distracted by battling with the voice commands and constantly checking what was actually found by them and if it's the correct place. Also why is that even when I pull over and completely stopped I still can't type in. My car is not moving... It's really a…

Option to automatically disable WiFi
When transitioning from WiFi to 3G or vice versa, Waze often loses a connection and becomes useless, requiring us to restart the app. I imagine this would be a problem for anyone who drives by a wireless network that they use often (home, work, school, etc.) This could be avoided by giving the user the option to automatically disable WiFi connections within Waze. This option would prevent users from having to disable WiFi before starting Waze every time.

Improve waze when traffic is lighter than usual
Hi, It seems that the algorithm is mainly based on statistics of traffic. I can explain: August 15th was a day off in France and of course the traffic was very very light But when using Waze that day, the time and routes poposed by Waze were fully erroneous and really not usable at all! Sytadin.fr was enough that day to decide where to drive...
This kind of issueof course occurs for all holidays, like during summer or Christmas holidays.
Is there a way to improve that?
Thank you2 votes -
Waze notifies you of toll roads approaching
I drive around with Waze on there's no set destinations so I can know how traffic is Flowing, speed limits, hazards and such notifications as that. What waze should do is have a notification of toll roads if you are driving in their Direction if your avoid toll road option is on

Bring back "See yourself on the map" option
I actually really miss the "see yourself on the map" option. I used it as a profile card and a way to show my friends my status and my cute Waze avatar. Now, I've finally got the crown and I have no way to show it off. Maybe there could be a status badge or something with our profile picture, the waze avatar, and some stats. Or you could just bring back what you already had. Thanks!

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,…7 votes -
Track my car's vitals; build database for community benefits
This is a big idea, no small undertaking I know. I'd like to combine my GPS app with the functionality of an app like Gas Cubby, which tracks my MPG at every fill-up and alerts me when my car is due for maintenance.
Here's how I envision it:
-I tell Waze what car I drive: ex: 2003 Saturn Vue, 6 cyl, automatic
-Every time I stop to fill up, I tell Was

Police
Sorry to upset all of the folks asking for more features to warn of police presence but this is a childish feature which should be removed. Waze is a great app and you would be best served by taking the "high road" and promoting the app as an aid to road safety by making drivers aware of road situations and hazards. But many wazers like me have their kids also driving and I am just waiting with dread for the day that a fellow wazer tells a drunken driver how to avoid a policeman and then that drunk …

Add low-speed vehicle (LSV) option
LSV are allowed to drive on road not exceeding 35 mph. It would be useful to navigate only on these roads from point A to B.

Have optional driving laws and safe driving test and make results viewable to nearby Wazers.
This will help improve safe driving as well as help Wazers make informed decisions about driving near/with other Wazers.

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.
