Less verbose mode (few short instructions)
I would like to have a "less verbose mode" where the voice navigation would just say a few short instructions, like "turn right" for example, without all the verbose stuff like street names; or "speed trap", without all the useless words around it.
The reason is that sometimes I like to listen to music, or audiobooks, or having a conversation while driving, and I find that Waze verbosity is very annoying.21 votesWe plan to work on th Brief instructions Option in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

Route planning fault
When planning a route that you are not at the leaving point for ie I’m at home want to plan a journey from my work to a meeting, route planner shows the right drive time but when you save it it defaults the starting point to your current location makes it useless.

Less popups when starting a navigation
When starting a navigation, a pop up ask if I want to share my ride. That's not that annoying but I would like an option to disable it.
Im often starting a navigation from other apps, when the navigation is received by waze, it shows a first screen where I need to press on "received location". I click on it and then a second pop up telling me to share. And this is when waze dont pop to ask if I am a passenger. It sometime necessitie 3 press to start a drive. Google maps does it in 0…

The ETA on the shared route (My Drive) website is no longer visible on older browsers
The ETA is visible only for a very short time before the map is overlaid. Older browser is the default browser of an older Android phone (Samsung with Android 2.3) and IE9.
Also tried the current Firefox and Chrome versions, and both are OK.

Scales open / closed button.
Waze is a superior navigation aid compared to all other gps I've used and I've used them all! I drive a big truck for a living and would love to see the addition of a scale open / closed button similar to a police button or the hazard button. Fantastic app! Super intuitive and user friendly. Thank you!

Help for eco-driving
It would be good to have Waze indicating when I should preferably slow down when arriving on a round-about or about to enter a town or a curve where my current speed is inaccurate and will result in breaking - previous speed maintained too long was then a waste of gasoline, anticipation could save loads of it

highway wrong direction car alert
it could be useful to add an alert to inform other wazers that a car is driving in wrong direction (very useful for the Highways). The alert will blink to any wazer smartphone display that is driving that way before the alert point.
This feature could permit alerted drivers to mantain the right lane till the end of the emergency.13 votes -
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.

Please add the ability to search for closest poi to my current route.
If I am already driving using your app, I would like the ability to search for food, a bank, or a coffee shop not too far off my route. You guys already calculate the time off route but if you add my suggestion it would make your app that much better.

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.

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…
34 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.

“Reverse Trip” Option
I think it would be a great feature if Waze added a “Reverse Trip” button after completing a drive. Instead of generating a new route back based on Waze’s current suggestions, this feature would guide you back using the exact same route you originally took.
There are times when I discover an easier or preferred route during a drive and would rather return the same way instead of taking a different suggested route. This could be especially useful for short trips where you quickly return to your original starting point.

Birthday mood/badge
To make more social, it would be nice, just one day per year to have the option to people who is their birthday to show either a special mood (cake mood or wathever) or a birthday badge.
In this way wazers can congratulate during your driving and make more social the aplication.

Waze RoadTrip- A New Option for Wazers
You will likely want to hear an idea that will expand your audience and retain your current customer base.
Recently, I embarked on an excursion from Orlando, FL to Charleston, SC. It’s a fairly short road trip, but within those 6 hours, I wondered to myself how great it would be to see more than just the highway in front of me and the trees that lined the road. I quickly grew exhausted from seeing the same paved road, white lines, and billboard signs over and over again.
I turned to my boyfriend with two hours left on our trip…

Change "Dangerous Intersection" Notification Text
"[Police Department] reminds you to drive safely at [intersection]" conflicts with the unbiased and objective/factual angle that Waze comes in at, the fastest and most utilitarian navigation possible, and is also awkward considering Waze also has police reporting features. It should be changed to something less awkward and more useful: "Upcoming [intersection] has been reported dangerous."

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
