1. 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 is. Basically, without the ability to look up previous addresses/locations while driving or even at a stop light one has to have all of these addresses committed to memory or write them down elsewhere which defeats the efficiency of using Waze in the first place. PLEASE RETURN THE ABILITY TO ACCESS PREVIOUSLY FOUND ADDRESSES WHILE DRIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. 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 an alternate route- I would indicate "no road closure" or the inquiry would expire like a reported road hazard report.

3. 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 what the he'll is that in middle saying good morning or good afternoon... ???? we don't need that
   That is just a unused space. Stupid. There u can put in show all warnings....

   Do answer and fix this issues. Thx

5. 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 be in. Two consequences: 1) The route duration/ETA is always way off because it is calculated assuming I am in the HOV lanes, and 2) it keeps telling me to get back in the HOV lanes which is annoying.

   What is needed is ability to say "Yes - I have a transponder and want to use the express lanes" and, SEPERATELY say yes/no I have 2+ passengers and want to use HOV lanes if available and optimal.

6. 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.

7. 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 struggle to use Waze that way.

8. 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.

   Great thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

9. 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 you

10. 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

11. 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!

12. 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, ingrushechnym if you want.
    In many cases, it is impossible to mark the situation on the road. why in the bottom part to write Good morning or good day? it would be better at this point to write the name of the street on which I go.
    and the worst thing in the updated version, not vozmozhnodobavit friends from the phone address book.
    or send an invitation to contacts in the phonebook.
    (Many users write about it)
    Please make sure that waze match with notebook !!!!! as it occurs in the application Viber and WhatsApp !!!
    I want to believe that my message will not go unnoticed.
    Thank you.

13. 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
    a) What my current odometer reads (waze should know how many miles I've driven in theory, but this is a checksum validation in case I forgot to open the app while driving a few miles)
    b) How many gallons I pumped
    c) What price I paid
    d) Waze automatically detects what gas station I'm at
    -This allows Waze to track my MPG and cost of driving
    -This also incentivizes wazers to use the gas price feature more often

    Waze can then go several directions:
    -Keep a database of real world avg MPG ratings for all sorts vehicles, a valuable database to have for people purchasing new and used cars.
    -Waze gets more accurate gas price database because people use the feature at every fill-up
    -Alert me of the best price of gas on my commute when it knows I'm low on gas (IE: it can tell I fill up on average every 300 mi, it starts suggesting places when I've gone 250 mi.)
    -I can request routes based on new factors: quickest, shortest, or most economical route (since it can learn my MPG in city vs highway driving... it's tracking all of it after all). In many case I find, the route that's going to take me an extra 3-5 minutes to drive is also the route that will save me money on gas, which is worth it to me; but not always. It's hard to tell and waze could compute this for me.
    -It can give an estimated cost of trip as well as ETA (EX: 20 mi to work, 26 minute ETA, $3.42 estimate cost of commute given current local gas prices and your driving habits and mpg)
    -It can also alert me of other maintenance items: oil changes, timing belts, fuel filters, even to check tire pressure every couple thousand miles.

    All of this would incentivize Wazers to leave the app open at all times when driving, whether they need directions or not, which in turn gives waze more accurate map and traffic date. This also gives a new aspect to the 'game' that is waze: I get to track and beat my own 'score' (mpg), and even 'beat' the avg MPG of other Wazers with my vehicle type.

    I've been looking for a GPS that does all this for a long time, and there isn't a good one. Waze has the best chance of becoming that. I know it's a big request, but I think it would be amazing.

    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.

14. 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 driver kills the wazer's kid. The police are mainly there for our safety - protect our kids and don't tell dangerous drivers where the police are!!

17. 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.

19. 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.
