Add Pause Button to Route Guidance
I use Waze a lot for local driving and frequently take small diversions to convenience stores or maybe swing by another store or a friend's house a few blocks away that is not on the original route.
I find it very hard to believe that no one has ever added a Pause button to route guidance.
I have seen it rationalized that it would be distracting while you're driving.
I would submit that the app continuing to recalculate a new route while you are diverting is ever more distracting. Especially, if you decide to stop the route because the continual…

Audio only mode (with extra updates)
I use Waze audio only driving my motorcycle, using one bluetooth earbud. In some cases I think Waze has crashed/stopped if I don't hear anything anymore but mostly its just because I'm on a highway without the need to make any routing changes.
Would be ideal if you could choose 'audio only mode' and tell the system for example to say every 5 minutes 'stay on the ... for x more minutes. And maybe every 15 minutes tell the estimated arrival time. This way I know everything is still good.
I know people also use Waze audio only in the…1 vote -
Audio alerts for speed and red light cameras
My audio alerts for speed and red light cameras stopped working a few months ago. I'm running waze directly on my phone (Google pixel 7) with the latest version of Android OS and waze app installed. My settings for alerts are correct. I see the flashing camera on the map and text alert on the screen but audio alerts are not working. I live in NYC where cameras are on every other block. Constantly monitoring the phone screen for visual alerts while driving is annoying and dangerous. I see lots of similar posts with replies from waze that the issue…

I would like to have the facility to edit (e.g. add an extra, en route stop) a saved future drive!
I like to plan my journeys, and view alternative routes ahead of time, using Waze. At present it seems that, despite having “saved” a planned drive, the only way to edit your route, is to start all over again from scratch, incorporating your desired change(s) as you go through the process. For a substantial, multi-stop route, that 'is' 'a' 'pain'!

When in an EV, also show the regular Gas stations category in the Search menu
I'm driving an EV, so Waze replaced the Gas stations category in the search menu with "EV charging" on Android Auto. However, many EV charging stations in my country are in the middle of nowhere, or at least don't have a place to grab a quick bite or refreshing drinks like the regular gas stations have. I tried using the "Food" and "Coffee" categories, but they just search for restaurants or coffee places and are not suitable for a quick stop along the way. Also, I can't enter text in the search box while driving and I can't search for…

Map Screen Navigation/Zoom for non-touchscreen
So, some vehicle manufacturers use a touch screen, and others use rotary knobs or similar for screen navigation. Android Auto forced manufacturers to choose one or the other in the event that they have the capability of both.
The problem encountered on Waze is that for non-touch screen versions, there is a loss of major functionality. One of which is the ability to change the zoom level or move the focus on the map while moving. There are often times where you will see a traffic jam, or something similar, and it is helpful to change the zoom or focus…

In Chatham township Nj please stop directing people to turn onto spring st off of Lafayette instead of driving straight to southern Blvd- yn
In Chatham township stop directing cars to turn onto spring st from Lafayette Ave instead of staying on Lafayette until southern Blvd to make a right. You are directing too many cars onto quiet residential streets- please keep the traffic on the main roads in residential neighborhoods- the speed limit on the quiet streets is 25 vs 35 on southern blvd

Add a 2nd Work address
I have two (2) suggestions ......
1. add a 2nd work address. With so many Wazers working two jobs, being able to enter in a 2nd address makes commuting to one or the other or between the two, so much easier. No searching through "Favorites" to find the 2nd address and best route- Have the ability to confirm that it's the passenger wanting to add/alter a location, destination or search. Driving with a passenger down the freeway and having them perform a new search or to add an address still requires the driver to pull over and stop, so the…

Need to STOP these massive auto and truck pile ups. There must be a way to warn oncoming traffic of major trouble ahead.
Need to STOP these massive auto and truck pile ups. There must be a way to warn oncoming traffic of major trouble ahead. Sure the first autos or trucks that cause the accident would not be effective but how about the many vehicles that are about to plow into them. 50 vehicles or more in these pileups is ridiculous with today's technology.

PLEASE add ability to mark lanes!
Please add ability to mark which lanes are affected by reports especially crashes, stopped vehicles, debris/hazards and closures! Being able to quickly and easily navigate away from a problem would be a HUGE benefit over all other navigation apps!😊

Resume drive notification
A toggle to send silent notification.
Resume drive notification option when waze was stopped without exiting navigation.This could be a nice option to me and for everyone that eccidentaly closes the app by clearing apps. And also when you are driving and waze is stopped by system.
For me the app closes automatically on my mate 20 Pro while I'm navigating with sound direction via headphones. And I am not even aware when it happens. With this option I would be able to change the notification sound for that and know waze has closed and resume with one click.

Record and save a journey
Would it be possible to record and save a journey in favourites. I also find route planning limited to what Waze decides with no flexibility to add via points. Adding just one stop point is not enough for a long journey.

Android auto notifications
Please improve the notification management for andoid auto. I would like to hear only some alerts, not all, and be able to manage the sound level.
ex. To stop waking up my children every time there is some work on the highway2 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Offline notification timeout
Can the offline notification message timeout automatically, please? It obscures way too much of the screen essentially stopping functionality of the app, and it won't go away automatically when network connection is resumed.
Using my phone on my motorcycle I cannot reliably touch the screen with gloves on to acknowledge the message. So after a however brief cell signal dead zone I get no useful navigation until I pull over, stop, take my gloves off, and press the ok button. Even an hour later this message stays blocking the screen despite point having lost signal only momentarily.

Put icon on Waze that will close the app
Please devise a simple way to close Waze when no longer needed (such as a special "button" or small icon). There are many times when I know my way for part of the route but cannot stop Waze from continuing to use up my IPhone battery.

2 ideas for routing
Have an option to base economic routes on the cars MPG. It would basically be googles econ route but made tailored to your MPG rather than on car average. Another thing would be to add traffic lights and stop signs to account for on the trip.

police alert when they take pictures from a bridge
In my country we have police officers standing on bridges and take photos of ppl on their phones while driving.
An option to report and alert other drivers will make the driver stop being on their phone faster.2 votes
