  1. "Drinking Water Protection Zone" sign locations in Ontario, Canada

    There are over 800 "Drinking Water Protection Zone" signs in Ontario that mark vulnerable areas for municipal drinking water systems. These signs are an important part of the Source Protection Program that resulted from the recommendations after the Walkerton Water Tragedy. These signs are all geo-referenced and could be added to Waze maps. It would help raise the awareness of the program.

  2. Request to Ban User "Ms-Royalty" for Repeatedly Submitting Inaccurate Gas Prices for Points

    I’ve observed a recurring issue throughout the Jacksonville, Florida area involving the reporting of gas prices. It is common for users to update only one octane level—often incorrectly—seemingly for the sole purpose of earning points. One user in particular, “Ms-Royalty,” frequently updates just a single gas price, typically for regular (87 octane), with entries like “3.050,” which are often inaccurate.

    This behavior undermines the purpose of the platform, which is intended to provide accurate, up-to-date information for the benefit of all users. It appears this activity has been ongoing for at least a year, if not longer.

    I recommend that…

  3. Been using Waze for a few years now & was reviewing the comments & was a little surprised!!

    This past Thursday (Thanksgiving day) we were traveling North from San Diego to the Newport Beach area when I was given a reroute, and a friend of mine was following and he wasn't using Waze (but Google Maps) but he followed me and later thanked me because the traffic had stopped completely and he saw the bad accident & delay. We were able to save ourselves a good 20 minutes by going around the accident that was on the freeway. Of course it was very helpful as we were running behind schedule anyway so this was a good experience for…

  4. 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…

  5. Using Waze app in areas other than major highways!

    We are in Waterford Michigan and we love to use the Waze app when we go up north to our cottage and also to Canada to see our family. I see everybody using Waze on major highways and thorough fairs, but as soon as you get off the highway on two lane asphalt roads with police hiding, no one seems to be using their Waze app! You might wanna consider contacting some users and encouraging the group to use Waze on these roads, because a ticket is a ticket! When we get off the highway and have to drive another…

  7. Rid the Rage

    Make a feature for road rage mode. If I go to ‘Road rage mode’, the app adds in lead time on planned drives (extra 5 minutes for 10 miles or less, 10 minutes for 11-30 miles, etc..)
    -Maybe avoids heavy traffic areas even if drive is longer.
    -If user shows erratic increase in speed, excessive speeding, swerving, etc.. Have voiceover give safe driving or anger management techniques to lower road rage.
    -Give safe driving or anger management tips periodically on drive.

    I have road rage and millions of other drivers do as well. I think this feature could help…

  8. Waze "Local Knowledge" feature

    Waze should have a feature called "Local Knowledge". Since most routes start at the same place, home, the user wouldn't need to know/HEAR all the individual turns to get out of their own neighborhood every time. The user should be able to set up a radius around a point where they have familiarity of different increments say, 1mile, 2miles, 5 miles, where only the visual route is shown on the screen and the audio is MUTED. Then once the user is outside of the predefined radius, the audio starts again. There should also be the ability to set up multiple…

  9. There is a problem with the application on the Android system for car screens

    The problem is that the search option covers part of the display and the area containing the map is unacceptable, so that the left half is useless while the right half only contains the car and navigation. The search should be minimized and the driving should be placed in the middle and not only in half of the screen

    The second problem is that the zoom system is not practical. When I accelerate to a speed of 80 km or more, the automatic zoom is very, very far away, so that you can discover the whole city, but you will…

  10. Adjust routes

    Hi Waze team,

    I’m a long-time Wazer (5+ years), and I truly appreciate the app. However, I’d like to share some frustrating limitations:

    1. Add the ability to manually edit a route with multiple intermediate stops

    Waze usually finds good routes, but sometimes I want to manually adjust it — set 2–3 waypoints, fix the path myself, and avoid places I don’t want to pass. Right now, it’s not possible to fully customize a route this way.

    1. Allow starting a route from a different location (not current GPS location)

    In Ukraine, GPS can be unreliable or blocked in certain areas.…

  11. finding parking

    Waze should have a parking spot finder option in hotspot areas. For example: NYC. Users with the app already have GPS enabled, a feature can be added to anonymously show when a car moved out of a spot or spots that have been selected as available to make parking easier in populated areas.

  13. Misleading Parking Suggestion

    Dear Waze Team,

    I would like to file a complaint regarding an extremely misleading parking suggestion made by your app.

    On July 31st, I was using Waze to navigate to the Atomium in Brussels. The app directed me to an open parking area near the Trade Mart building. I followed the recommendation, unaware that this parking lot charges a flat rate of €10 — even if you stay for just 30 minutes, as I did.

    There was no price indication or warning in the app, and had I been informed, I would have easily chosen a cheaper alternative nearby. I…

  14. Possible warning for overhead obstruction in areas with low hanging trees?

    In the south where there are many oak lined roads, branches overhang the roadways. When trucks come through, it is often that their loads catch these limbs, especially after a rain.

  15. Verbal “Animal Alert” & Animal Icon replaced in app

    Requesting update to app: 50 mile commute to & from work. High potential for animal / wildlife encounters & add a loss of connection for approx 5 miles during the trip. Would like an “Animal” icon to be placed back into the app & a verbal “Animal Alert” be announced the same way that construction, crashes, hazards & police, do so now. Not everybody lives and / or works in the city & those are two different types of driving styles for a commute. It would be nice to be alerted ahead of time, if I’m entering an area of…

  16. When Searching for "FUEL", add [Nearest] or [Along Route] selector/modifier.

    Not only is this needed, but it also needs good UX to make what's happening clear.

    In the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of situations, I want the CLOSEST gas station AHEAD (or on my current) route. It could be something as easy as a modal popup that says [BUTTON] in brackets:

    [Shortest Distance] or [Nearest Ahead]

    Where [Shortest] = "oh my .... I'm on fumes and need fuel NOW"
    And
    [Nearest Ahead] just does a quick check of your current route, a little balancing to find the shortest route with a 10-minute "lookahead" and presents the user with a list…

  17. Allow users to type in names of their favorite retailers, restaurants, gas stations, and more

    I would like Waze to notify me of my favorite retailers, gas stations, restaurants and other things along my drive regardless of where I am driving and without me having to search for them and add them as a favorite. If I could have an area in the app where I could type my favorite places in once and then Waze is always searching and notifying me of them as I drive this would be a huge convenience. Example: I choose Chick-fil-A as a restaurant, then whenever I am driving ways notifies me of all Chick-fil-A's within 5…

  18. Automatically remove pop up boxes under certain conditions

    Please program an if/then response to automatically remove (without interaction) floating boxes when a road or lane change is required.

    Please make floating boxes automatically disappear within .1 miles of an intersection requiring a turn.

    They block the most important info that is needed, the actual map and road view.

    A priority rule should be programmed in the app.

    On highly congested roadways and unfamiliar highway interchanges, it is completely unsafe to read or click "still there" when that text box is covering all of the important lane information needed to get on or off in the correct lane of…

  19. Waze should add the Postcode of the street you're navigating to while searching.

    I (and quite a few friends) use waze as my primary navigation during deliveries. Besides some buildings not being able to be displayed correctly (common issue across all maps), I really wish that while searching for a street name / house number, Waze would have the postcode come up alongside the street name to make sure you're navigating to the correct one.

    This only happens on 6/10 addresses if you start typing the postcode yourself, but for a lot of addresses trying to type the postcode as well as the street / house number just shows as no results. It…

  20. UI Update For Better Visualisation Route Alternative

    There is a UX/UI design issue in the software after the update to version 5.11.5.1.
    Before this version, the route options screen was larger and better organized, allowing a complete, simple, and practical view of all three route alternatives after defining a route.

    After the 5.11.5.1 update, the route alternatives display became smaller and narrower, with larger fonts, forcing users to scroll through the reduced screen area in order to select a route while driving. Furthermore, to view more information about a route, it is now necessary to scroll to select it, click once to open it, and then click…
