Display alternative ETA's at junctions
When I'm driving towards an intersection junction along my route with several route alternatives, I would like a feature that displays hor much longer those alternative route choices are.
Why?
1) My commute has several alternative route choices that differ in meters and seconds.2) The first Waze default route choice is not always best.
3) Sometimes I can plan my route better than Waze, and don't always choose the Waze route.
4) Sometimes I prefer some variety in my daily commute.
5) Sometimes I want to choose a different route just so I can see something different.

Please stop routing onto bike routes
I live in an area of the country with a lot of bike routes. Those routes are established on the assumption that they are low in auto traffic, or least generally local-only traffic. That seems to prompt Waze to guide me onto them fairly frequently during heavy traffic times, but in doing so this violates that basic assumption of keeping them low traffic.
As someone who bikes and drives regularly, I'd rather not see those routes grow in auto traffic as Waze adoption increases. If possible, please stop routing auto traffic onto those routes so that they can remain…

Delayed reports
While you're driving, you haven't time to report. So it would be great if I can touch the screen to hold the real place where a report have to be placed. So you can complete the report when you stop.

Max speed trip estimate
I drive an road e-bike, which has a max speed of 32kmh due to legal restrictions in Ontario. It would be great if we could specify a max vehicle speed and Waze could take that into account when estimating how long it will take to arrive at a destination.

Navigate to a saved place using voice command in android with google assistant
Navigate to a saved place using voice command in android with google assistant on Samsung S22 phone. For example, if I have a friend named Jim and enter his address as a saved place in waze and name it "Jim". Then shouldn't I be able to open waze and say: "Ok google, drive to Jim". When I do that now, google assistant responds with "Sorry I don't understand". Isn't that a pretty basic functionality? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Warn about slowing traffic ahead
Please add a feature to warn of s lowing traffic ahead.
When driving on the freeway, waze knows where we’re going, if the traffic is much slower ahead, a warning about slowing traffic would be very helpful and provide greater safety.

2 Ideas!
Hi, ive got two ideas: 1. When starting a new ride from a parking car, Waze does not know which direction the vehicle is facing. And because of Murphy's rules, most of the time it will plan the opposite route :) My suggestion is: before starting navigation I will have the option to calibarate the direction my vehicle facing (button that using the internal compass) . and now that Waze can understand that im facing east for example it can plan the right route. 2. adding an option so Waze know im driving a motorcycle so it can plane the…
33 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.
As for the idea with adjusting car facing direction, it is under consideration.

I think having a weather radar and/or show weather warnings would be helpful.
I think having a weather radar and/or show weather warnings would be helpful. Many times I have been driving and hear on the radio about storms or heavy rain and if I could see these on the map it would give me the ability to either exit the highway or detour around it.

Add Shazam to the Waze app
I love to use the Waze.app while I'm driving and especially on long road trips. But I find myself switching to Shazam whenever I hear a song on the radio that I want to identify and it can be difficult to switch back and forth between apps while driving on the highway. Can you add the ability to Shazam a song within the Waze.app and show the song title and artist on the map and if I click on it go to the Shazam app?
Thank you and keep up the great work on the absolute best mobile traffic and…

Only report and show hazards / etc on your side of the road
When viewing the map or receiving alerts, add an option to only report items on the side of the road you are driving and/or you are routed on. As a "reverse commuter" I constantly see hazards on my route but they are usually on the other side. It makes viewing the map for issues very difficult, almost unusable.

JEREMY CLARKSON
A Modest Proposal: Jeremy Clarkson for Waze Voice Navigation
Dear Waze Team,
Let’s cut to the chase — Waze is brilliant. But you know what would make it truly exceptional?
Jeremy Clarkson.
Not just as a voice. As a driving philosophy. Imagine:
“Turn left... or don’t. I’m not your mother.”
“Traffic ahead. Caused, presumably, by a Prius.”
“You've arrived. It's no racetrack, but it'll do.”
"In 200 meters Turn left-- unless you drive a beige Volvo. In which case, please stay home"
Clarkson is the voice of speed, sarcasm, and barely-contained road rage — everything a morning commute needs. Give…5 votes -
libby
It would be great if the app worked with Libby or Overdrive apps, so that one could listen to audiobooks from the library while one drives.

Rest areas along the route should be reported. Drivers will likely get tempted to type while driving if they suddenly need a rest area
Rest areas should be on the report along the route. Report should include something like “Rest Area 5 miles ahead”

I'd like to move the car icon out of the middle of the map in order to see more of the upcoming route and less of what's already passed
I'd like to move the car icon out of the middle of the map in order to see more of the upcoming route and less of what's already passed. Specially when using Navigation since it the ETA status window takes up a reasonable portion of the screen. For instance: if I'm driving southeast my car icon should be displayed in the upper left hand corner (when using True North mode) but the same applies when in the relative mode. Thanks

Option to force re-sync of calendar
I have a planned drive generated from a calendar event, but that calendar event has changed time and Waze doesn't know that. Please add an option to force Waze to re-fetch the calendar events and update planned drives accordingly.

Toggle current road to current town
There are many times as I drive through different states, that I want to know what town I’m currently in. Copilot, another GPS program, allows you to tap on the arrow (your location) and the display would toggle between current road and current town. This is especially useful when notifying a friend your location, or looking for a hotel/food.
Thanks!2 votes -
More route options
It would be great to have the option to toggle between 3,4 or 5 routes. There may be different routes to get to the highway and everyone does not drive the highways.
