Optimal route calculation - include price (consumption/persons time)
I notices that fastest route is chosen.
I always watch for alternatives if there is a similar time but shorter version.
Wery ofter is similar time (for example 20minutes faster vis highway, 23 minutes via road), but via high way is 30 km, via normal road is 15km. Difference in consumprion is huge, difference in time is acceptable, even if I calculate the price of my time.If you calculate best way based on "price", optimal way will be better.
Solution: calculate price of people time (for example 10USD for an hour) and 0,1 USD for one kilometer. Best…

Congestion color code
I recommend the color of the road be shown based on the current speed motorist are experiencing; potentially if traveling at or above the speed limit, green, 10% below orange, 20% below yellow, and 30% or lower red.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

add a plugin method, e.g. radar detector
There is an iPhone app called "radar active" that allows realtime updates of speed traps. The sounds various radar detectors make (or dataports like on the Valentine V1) could be used to automatically add speed-trap / false alarm information to the map. Android has easy ways to add external hardware, but the microphone could be used on any platform with the right audio processing software.

Report portable flex speed camera's

Meanwhile flitsmeister has it updated and it does not get deleted. so all the flitsmeister users are not getting fined but waze users do!!!! please fix this

Time saved vs detour tolerance slider
The biggest complaint I hear from non waze users is that it routes you a zig zag through a neighborhood or takes you off/on the highway to save 20 seconds.. I use it everywhere I go myself, still worth it BUT I do get annoyed when a significant amount of twists and turns if they don't end up being necessary.
I suggest a slider in settings in which the user could say "keep me on the most direct route unless it saves me at least" 3 minutes.. 5 minutes.. 10 minutes etc.
In order words allow me to set my …

Android Samsung galaxy note 3 multi window feature.
Would love to use it with other apps. This limits me to only use one app. With Google maps I can listen to YouTube or a music app while I see and hear directions. Thanks.

Add an ICE icon for active incidents in real time
We need an option for when we see ice activities in public. Not only does all of this hold up traffic and put us behind behind of where we’re supposed to be, but we also need somebody to step up and be the heroes. Somebody with an infrastructure already in place that allows us to coordinate and work together. You’ve shown time and time again that you’re willing to step up and do what’s right, and now we need that more than ever. Please join us on the right side of history while there’s still a chance.

Please consider updating the Waze app so that speed cameras remain visible on the map at all times, even when the driver exceeds the +20 km/
Please consider updating the Waze app so that speed cameras remain visible on the map at all times, even when the driver exceeds the +20 km/h grace limit in Dubai.
Recently, the cameras disappear above the limit and only reappear about 500 meters before, which wasn’t the case earlier and can be stressful for drivers.

Safe directions based on weather and no left turns. It would be really great if Waze determine directions based on hazardous conditions
I would like an option where I can get directions that avoid left turns. In Addition it would be great to get directions based on hazardous conditions. For example, today it’s snowy and icy. It would have been great if Waze would have given me directions based on the lowest incline hills and where conditions would be safest for driving.

Various suggestions taken from other systems
Hello everyone,
after a period where I have been a passenger of friends and colleagues ( due to surgery ) I decided to write down what, in my opinion, can be insights to further improve this navigation system.As a first suggestion ( I copy the idea from AmiGo ) is to make the indication of the speed limit and current speed more intuitive and readable by using colors inside the speedometer. The idea of verbally indicating the speed of speed cameras can also be very helpful.
The second point I would like to suggest ( this time the…

Indicate the speed limit on each portion in addition to the speedometer. Indicate the time or the last wazer to borrow the same road.
Save favorite places on the internet account, it avoids recreating when changing phone.
4 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

ETA should be correct for time zone change at beginning of triip

User option to define the value you want the speed exceeded alert to be given!
I know that by default it is 30Km/h but in many situations 30 is a very "large" range when going from 120 to 100 in a controlled zone P.E. on the A29
This value should be a user-defined option!
The warning must be given a few meters before entering the area at a new speed
(The precedence can also be a value to be defined by the user)2 votes -
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.

Remove "Missing Overpass" map error report category.
That vast majority (all but maybe 1 or 2, in all the time I have been editing) of reports for "Missing Overpass" have been for overpasses that exist on the map, but are invisible at highway speeds on the app. Because some users do not understand how speed-based zoom works, that assume these overpasses are missing, and report every one they drive under until someone responds to a UR explaining why they don't see them. This is causing a large amount of unnecessary UR's and subsequent follow-up. In the US anyway, it would seem we could do…

precision
You have done a great job of taking into account speed, traffic, up-to-date traffic, anticipated traffic, precise speed limits along the route. You probably have pedestrian traffic and tire pressure in the calculation too. I found it so surprising that my estimated arrival time was off. It was incredible to imagine that my WAZE was off by such a significant amount too. It was off by 60 minutes. Of all the variables that affect my arrival time you left off the variable with the largest impact to my arrival time - arrival time zone... I arrived an hour late.…

Flight tracking, with update on when to leave based on flight data
as a limo driver/owner operator a Livery business. It would be great to track flights on the Waze app and get notification to leave based on flight data. In addition, the ability to input flights for different “accounts“ e.g. I have 15 corporate accounts, and would like to input flights under those categories so that way It’s aggregated based on which company or client the job/flight is for.

Why do you put fixed speed camera allerts when the camera is on the other side of the road or the other street. So annoying
Only have allerts for fixed speed cameras if they can actually get you. Not if they are facing the other way or on the cross street.

Place of origin and departure time in planned drive
Hi waze! I always use your planned drive. The problem is, after I make a planned drive, I can't see the place of origin and departure time in planned drives' list. Only destination and arrival time are shown in the list. We're having hard time putting it in our record.
