share with waze app
It should definitely be possible to send places in Google Maps, for example, to Waze using the SHARE function. Because many apps open Google Maps by default and start navigation there. But if you could share the location with Waze, you could still start navigation in Waze

Redundant steps
App would be easier to use if you didn't have to annoyingly hit the word "go" more than once for my trip to start navigating.
Hitting "Go" should not come with an "are you sure" option. So redundant in a bad way.2 votes -
Recalulate Route Button / Bird's Eye Route / I'm On This Route Button
Seems like there are lots of these that get one or two votes and die the way of the dodo just like I will assume this suggestion will do. Although the idea behind Waze is social-traffic guidance it doesn't do the commuter a lot of good when they are in route on a multi-lane interstate in the middle of rush hour(s).
We all give permission for Google/Waze/everyone to know our location so use that information to know that we are on the route and recalculate the traffic speeds based on our movement and feedback on our phones.

Android Auto display on instrument cluster on VW Group cars
I've hit this issue and according to research it has been reported by other people using Waze Android Auto on VW Group cars.
In my case I have a Skoda Superb, and when using Waze Android Auto navigation, the instrument cluster will often(/always) show incorrect symbols for turns.
It seems to mostly go wrong for roundabouts, which the UK has many of. Roundabout direction icons will either incorrectly show as just a turn, or in the worst cases a right turn at a roundabout will show with a U-turn symbol.
This confusing display has been enough to stop me using…

waze "loses server" departing for destination, drops route, still has destination, no way to get back to route, forgets the route
waze "loses server" departing for destination, drops route, still has destination, no way to get back to route, forgets the route. The destination soccer ball is still there, but no way to get it to restore the route. Start over. :(

I would like the pumpkin on the start up screen as a driving mood.

Correcting directions
When trying to get directions to 2011 Fallsgrove Way, Fallston MD 21047 on the Waze app, it takes you to the wrong place. Somewhere off of Pleasantville and Roundhill. Which is about 2 miles from Fallsgrove. Fallsgrove is not off of Pleasantville. It is not off of Roundhill. It is off of Oakmont Rd. Can you fix it, please?

Create area of interest around vehicle
Allow user to specify an area of interest around their car. This area of interest would have a circular shape and diameter would be in miles. The size of the diameter would be specified by the user. The user would then select alert types that they would like to receive within this area. For example, the user would like to be alerted if a police car enters this area. The police car could be behind them, and approaching them, beside them, on the other side of the road etc.... They could also request weather alerts that could indicate if a…

Give us the voice of Gigi Saul Guerrero!
Gigi Saul Guerrero is feisty, ferociously funny, and a beloved member of the global horror community! She’s an actor, a horror film director, and the voices of Spider-Girl (Marvel Super Hero Adventures) and Vida (Super Monsters). Hailing from Mexico City, where she's known as “La Muneca Del Terror,” Gigi gained fans worldwide with her quick wit, infectious charm, and her mesmerizing timbre. (Her accent pairs well with two fingers of Casa Dragones.) Next time I drive the highways and byways of America, I want directions from Gigi Saul Guerrero!

Not all streets in Palm Beach County have to start at I-95 or the turnpike. Try Military Trail and 441 as a starting point.
I do not use waze until I get close where I am going. I use Military Tail or 441 first. I do not listen to waza which tell me to use I-95 or the turnpike.

Allow users to choose to display routes on their Phone instead forcing on the Android Auto
Allow users to choose whether to use their phone as Waze for routes or Android Auto as the main display, instead of forcing it to display on Android Auto. Some people want to stream music using Android Auto and use their phones to see directions, as it doesn't distract them from the road. Some head units in cars are positioned lower from the direction of the road and are more of a hassle to look at while driving.

Police (Median)
We need a “Police (Median)” alert that warns traffic in both directions on an interstate. Police (hidden) and Police (other side) don't always apply. This alert would warn traffic in both directions of the interstate or divided highway, since most police run front and rear radars simultaneously.

Drop a pin for reporting wrong location
Sometimes the app directions are a bit off. When I arrive at a place and Waze thinks I haven't arrived to the location yet, it would be nice to be able to drop a pin and report the location. Right now it is a bit cumbersome to report so much of the time I just don't report the error at all.

Advertisements
Clearly, Waze has prioritized ad money over driver safety by frequently posting ads obscuring part of the screen. I tried to turn them off, but was only given the option of choosing certain types — with the express direction that these would not permit me to turn them off.
My lack of trust in your product has resulted in my refusal to use it further until this unsafe practice is discontinued.

Mark incidents on map based on when you started the report
At Highway speeds I could be a quarter mile down the road by the time I’m done tapping out my incident report. Waze should remember my position when I started the incident report and post it back there once I’m finished.

Create shortcut to go to location and alert user of journey (replicate Glympse functionality)
I have noticed that Waze now offers location sharing. I would like for it to completely replace my need for running Glympse in tandem. Ideally, if I could have a shortcut icon on my phone home screen that started navigation to "Home", and shared my location with my wife, this would be great. Many thanks.

New idea to add to Waze alerts from Green Bay, Wisconsin. BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highwa
BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) — Drivers using some of the major interstates and highways in Northeast Wisconsin will now notice a new alert on message boards warning them when there’s a wrong-way driver.
It is one of the scariest moments drivers could face — heading down the highway or interstate at 70 miles an hour and headlights come straight at you.
Brown County Sheriff’s Patrol Captain Dan Sandberg says it’s all too common and often ends with someone injured or killed, as happened on I-41 in southern Brown County in August.
“It’s almost a weekly occurrence that we have somebody…

In your "Contact Us" function, add a way to communicate with a Waze employee. Via email, if nothing else.
I want to know why WAZE doesn't have St. George Island in its program. When I clicked on "Contact Us" I discovered there is no direct way to contact you except via a "Suggestion Box". How very user unfriendly.

Idea to improve destination time accuracy
your start time with delays to destination time changes as you travel due to new incidents along the way. For people using waze for mainly work and back everyday it would be great if you could record the destination time when you first switch on waze and then record the actual destination time when you arrive. use this as an average over a few weeks to give the user a more accurate time to reach destination
