Upgrade
You need to follow Google's maps lead and upgrade waze so it can calculate the distance between two points from a location to a destination and you need to do it yesterday. I can't believe nobody there has thought of this. You are lagging waze. Get with the competition.

Waze to issue Alerts when using CarPlay split screen
According to Waze support, when using Carplay split-screen (where Waze splits screen with other app like music), Waze won't issue traffic Alerts by design!! That's true, I have confirmed it. As soon as Waze returns to "full screen", it resumes issuing traffic alerts (danger, weather, radar, etc).
Split-screen is a quite usefull feature of Car-Play as it simplifies greatly audio/music control on the road, without the issue of messing with several buttons.
Although in split-screen mode the screen area that Waze has to show information is reduced, there is no reason why Waze could not keep issuing the …7 votes -
Auto-pause voice-nav-alert prompts based on GPS speed
While temporarily stopped for fuel, groceries, restroom breaks, it's annoying to hear turn left at State Road 19 navigation prompts from my back pocket. Can you automatically silence voice prompts based on gps speed? Of course this would need to be a user preference config. I saw a manual pause feature request, but I imagine drivers would get annoyed if they forget to re-enable it. The tech exists to auto-pause / auto-resume.

ALERTA PARA FAIXA DUPLA/TRIPLA NA BR -- ALERT FOR DOUBLE/TRIPLE BAND IN BR
Gostaria de sugerir que o aplicativo informe no mapa quando o carro estiver próximo de uma faixa dupla/tripla na BR. Esta função pode evitar ultrapassagens desnecessárias na BR quando o usuário do aplicativo estiver viajando. Diversas vezes quando viajo, vejo motoristas desesperados para ultrapassarem caminhões, principalmente à noite. E em algumas destas vezes, poucos metros depois nos deparamos com a faixa dupla/tripla na estrada, o que torna a ultrapassagem desnecessária naquele momento. Dessa forma, fica a minha sugestão para inserir um aviso, do mesmo modo que ocorre com as sinalizações de radar nas estradas. Desde já, agradeço.
I would suggest…

Please REMOVE the SPEEDOMETER and Show the posted SPEED LIMIT instead!
I usually type long long long posts, but the title of this speaks for itself. Just a couple more details below.....
Nokia had a GPS app called HERE Drive. It showed you what speed you were going and what the posted speed limit of the road was. Very handy.
The release of Windows 10 has caused the HERE Drive app to be deleted and replaced with Windows Maps. Some of it the same and some different, but everything good was taken away. Windows Maps is horrible, and many people are now looking to choose a new app for navigation.

Get alerts when I'm close to a location that I have previously marked as a point of interest
I would like to mark points of interest (POI) ahead of time (maybe via Google Saved locations?) and have Waze alert me when I'm near it, without having to plan a complete route to go via those POIs. Whenever Waze realises that I'm within a defined range of that POI it could alert me and offer to guide me there as a waypoint. I don't always plan routes in advance, and even when I do I often wander off-course to investigate potentially interesting roads, waterfalls, scenic spots etc.

Repetitive Alerts Should be Summarized
Recently, I was using Waze on Northbound I-280 in the San Francisco Bay Area. The traffic was pretty bad. Waze is pretty popular around here and folks were reporting the bad traffic. So much so in fact that you could barely see the map. It seems to me that if you have more than two or three people basically reporting the same thing (in this case stopped traffic) you can simply summarize and say "multiple bad traffic reports" or some such. The current extremely cluttered screen is basically useless.
In this case, I was using an iPhone, but I think…

Next town setting
I would like Waze to be able to tell me the distance to the next city or town on a long road trip - especially if that city enforces a slower speed limit.

Relocate speed trap notifications in Android Auto
When navigating a route on Waze for Android Auto, speed trap notifications overlap with the distance and time-to-destination information. This is a problem because in large cities we have speed traps with very short distances, which means that one of the main pieces of information is usually hidden from the driver. I suggest relocating these notifications so that the time to destination is always visible.

Mode Waze comme Coyote
J'aimerais un mode simple pour le trajet travail>maison , un mode comme l'application Coyote, sans carte avec la distance de l'éclaireur devant nous . Un vrai mode d'assistance sans guidage.

Please remove the daily limit on alerts.
Daily limit on map alerts for police and vehicles on shoulder is WAY too low. Please raise the limit. On a long trip of 600 miles i passed through major cities and the amount of alerts goes up of course. This limit should be related to the WAZE score for the user. The higher the points, the more alerts per day you can send.

Seeing other that need assistance
I thought it would be helpful to have an Assitance request in Waze, but I wondered if there could be a feature instead of me requesting assistance for me if it could be for someone else. Also, there was a stretch of highway where I did see someone on the other side pulled over, trying to alert for assistance. I was wondering if that could be a future feature. By the time I got close to the off-ramp to drive the other way, it already was 30 minutes, and I decided to keep going because I was hopeful that maybe…

alerte de survitesse sonore permanente
L'alerte de survitesse sonore est actuellement fait que par un petit beep sonore et uniquement dans les zones dangereuses.
J'aimerais avoir une alerte de survitesse sonore permanente par un beep-beep quand je dépasse la vitesse autorisée.
avec des options:
1) Tout le temps ou que dans les zones dangereuses.2) avoir le choix du son beep-beep et avec son intensité.
3) l'arrêter momentanément en tapotant sur l'indicateur de vitesse rond.

Speed limit multiple beeps for alerts when speed limit is exceeded.
I would love to have multiple beep sound when you exceed the speed limit, different beep options would be nice for user preferences

Thank 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.

Multiple vehicles
A quick way to toggle settings between two or more vehicles. When I drive my truck I use the expressways, I use alerts only, and diesel is preferred. When I ride my motorcycle I don't use expressways, I turn on navigation since my phone stays in my pocket, and premium gas is preferred. A way to save particular settings when toggling between private and motorcycle would be appreciated.
265 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted.

Improper hazard alerts for vehicles parked on road shoulders
In the city where I live, some roads have shoulders on one or both sides. We know that these areas are not traffic lanes, but are intended for vehicles to stop or park temporarily. However, every day, no matter which route I take, I keep receiving the alert “hazard reported – vehicle stopped.” I can see that people are reporting this incorrectly, since a vehicle stopped on the shoulder is not a hazard. This alert should only appear when a vehicle is stopped on the actual lane, truly obstructing the way. Therefore, I believe this warning should only exist for…
