Add option to search either for nearby options OR for options on route
When you're making a trip and realize you're low on gas, it's nice to add a stop at a nearby gas station. However, waze just lists stations on your route (or only stations nearby when using android auto for some reason). The user should have control over whether the search is for nearby options, or options on-route.

State what the alert is for
preferred version that stated the alert (object on road/car stopped on shoulder etc) so I don't have to look at the device to determine why it is alerting me. Also would like a way to touch screen to give thumbs up/confirm without having to look at device.

The colors of the route for an interim stop vs the destination are too similar, they should be easier to distinguish at a glance.
The colors of the route for an interim stop vs the destination are too similar, they should be easier to distinguish at a glance. Especially when they loop back on each other or there are u-turns, etc.. It's like one is blue-purple and the other is purple-blue. They should be completely different color families. You don't want to have your eyes off the road so long trying to figure out if you're following the correct color.

Hazard report on other side
There should be the ability to add hazard on the other side for when we see traffic stopped on the other side that has not been reported yet so that cars heading towards that area can be alert of that problem and have a better chance of avoiding accidents and helping fellow Waze users

One select to report
To report an issue whilst driving is dangerous and requires 2 presses and some looking at the screen. Why not let driver press the report button just once, at an incident and when vehicle is stopped a reminder comes up on the screen to complete the report. Waze has already logged its location and the driver can then report the issue as normal.

Feedback
Actually, I don't have a real idea, I just want to give you guys a feedback. I'm a long time heavy user of Waze (3 to 4 hours daily), however It think that I'll have to stop using the app. Your last version was not developed for Android. Nothing is working appropriately, for real. The app cannot find any good route for me, idk if you guys changed the algorithm behind the searching process, but it is not good anymore. The app is shutting down all the time, so it is impossible to use it for 10 minutes without at…

Stop crashing when using widget as a shutter in Action Launcher, on a HTC One
When using the launcher "Action Launcher" on a HTC One, there is a feature that shows widgets with a swipe up of the app icon. If I try to refresh my journey home time from within this shutter, Waze force closes.

After updating to 4.94.0.3 Waze is very difficult to navigate in Android Auto with a rotary knob (non-touch screen).
When using a car without a touch screen, it is extremely difficult to navigate the new interface. For example, the Cursor used to default to the "Pin" icon while in navigation. This was great because it allows you to quickly report Hazards and Police.
Now after the update, it defaults to the "Magnifying Glass" icon. This means you have to scroll past SEVEN, yes... 7, other icons to get the to "Pin" to report a hazard. I tried moving the cursor to the "Pin" Icon and leaving it there, but after a few seconds it defaults back to the Search…

How about you don’t put an arrival time and then keep adding to it the entire drive even with noBack ups or issues during travel. It’s bulls
Back ups or issues during travel. It’s bullshit you can’t come up with the exact time it takes to get from one location to another location without constantly adding time in making people 45 minutes late when they were speeding and never had to stop so it’s not traffic or anything else it’s the developers of ways the only thing your app is good for

A car/driver could use some help in 300m
So many times we see car on the roads, specifically the highway, but we are navigating to fast to stop last minute to help them out. Although many of us would be glad to help out, we just can't stop as we saw them too late. If there was a way people in need could put in a request (sometimes, just not being alone, panicking is already a big help - having an extra fluo jacket, need of water, lift to closest gas station if in the middle of nowhere etc.) that would send an alert "a car is pulled…

WAZE changing my usual route
I just wish WAZE would let me know the reason why it wants to change my usual route to something different. I was working 30 min away from home and one day it routed me in a different direction. Turns out, at the 20min mark was an accident and it had the traffic stopped. Just wish it told me the reason why.

What’s the Biggest Regret You’ve Had After Buying a Car?
Hey everyone,
We all know the thrill of finally driving off with a new car. That fresh smell, the shiny dashboard, and the excitement of showing it off to friends and family. But sometimes, the excitement fades, and reality hits. Have you ever bought a car and immediately thought, “Was this really the right choice?”
I wanted to open up a discussion about the biggest regrets we’ve had after buying a car. Let’s share our experiences, learn from each other, and maybe help someone avoid the same mistakes.

It would be nice if Waze would stop giving voice advises when I’m using Google assistant.
Please mute navigation instructions when Google assistant is active. Otherwise assistant picks up also navigation instructions as assistant commands
1 voteThank you for your suggestion! Waze will soon support Google Assistance voice control. To know more about this feature, stay tuned on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram

Bug
set destination to point A added a stop to point B - off course.. waze navigated to the stop and then returned to the original course rather then the shortest route from the stop point to the destination.
e.g. from Herzlia to Rehovot, stop in Givataim. waze: road 2 south, road 5 east, road 5 south exit givataim, back to road 4 north, road 5 east, road 6 south - rehovot!!!
