Option for more than 1 stop along my route
I find the option to add stops on my route convenient for when I'm going on a long drive where I need to stop at a few places along the way, but it only allows me to add one extra stop. Why can I only add one? I'd appreciate being able to add at least 3 or 4 stops in one trip so I don't need to start a new route after each destination along the way (I've had to do that before and it's way too complicated). Can you please add an option to be able to add more…

Add option to set a destination as final destination in when adding a stop, not just the existing options of "Add a stop" and "New Drive"
Sometimes when running errands, I'm already driving to "A". But then I want to get directions on how to get from "A" to "B". With the current options of "Add a Stop" and "New Drive", I would have to "Stop", set directions to "B", and then add "A" as stop. This is very complicated and it would be much simpler if there was an option to simply add "B" as final destination while I'm already navigating to "A".

Fix font on Directions
The Lower Case CAPITAL font for North, South, East, West (ORTH, OUTH, AST, EST) in Map Directions shows up as squares on new VW Tiguans in their front driver display console and is not a compatible font. Example: US644 S◼️◼️◼️◼️

Please fix Waze CarPlay lag
CarPlay lags almost a full minute upon input. Your position in the map is also delayed. So turn by turn directions will be missed. Waze CarPlay is almost unusable.

Make pop up navigation banners informational only
Please add the option to make navigation pop-up banners in CarPlay informational only, and not only an active selection option. Too frequently when I am trying to select something while in the Music or Podcast app (previous track, pause, jump ahead, etc.), the Waze banner keeps incessantly popping up with a navigation direction, and when I think I am selecting an option in the Music or Podcast app, it then selects the banner, taking me to Waze on my car display. In the most ideal scenario, I should only be looking at my screen for a very brief moment…

When one is approaching a turn off point this is especially important at night
When one is approaching a turn off point we need a more clear indicator of the branch of road that we are supposed to take where they're going left or right especially at night when the maps are often not clear or we return it comes very suddenly and you're relatively new one some kind of new color or flashing pulsating being would make it clear that I need to go off of the road I'm on towards the New Direction

Possibility to get detailed information about alerts or hazards on the trip when starting
When starting the trip and setting the destination, Waze often shows traffic alerts or police presense alerts etc on on the horizontal line as small icons. But can not tap on those icons to see in forehand, what are those warnings about! How come? Those should be clicable to see more detailed information and perhaps a glimpse of the map where the issue is at.

Wrong Directions Given
I contacted Waze because last night I was in a large mobile home park & kept getting directions to turn where there was no road, getting wrong distances to roads & destination. At one point I was in the middle of the road with no homes around & told I had reached my destination. I was also told that at an intersection. If I hadn't been familiar with the area, it could have been dangerous. There isn't enough distance time given for turning either.

Julie Andrews
I can sure you all that if you put Julie Andrews voice as a direction giver on the app it will be the best you could do, i cant believe no one has sugested yet, she is one of the most loved actress, she has good sense of humor and is one of the best doing voice over for cartoons and movies, she is very accesible person i dont think she would say no to give her voice it will be the day of a lot of drivers very happy moment, she has excelent diction and a lovely voice, so…

Add ability to plan a route or loop and choose roads for planned rides that you can save and share.
Sometimes people like to take a road trip for fun. Such as a group of motorcycles.
It would be nice to be able to pre-plan a ride that includes several different/chosen roads, that will eventually bring you back home or to the starting point. Like a loop.
If you could drag and move the route on the map, while planning it, it would be easier to add points of interest along the way. Plus more than one stop per route would be great!
Routing from point A to B is very good, but the ability to customize and save…

Problem with Waze directions.
People are trespassing on my property saying Waze is directing them there, They are trying to get to trails in Horsepen Run in Sterling VA.20165 The only access is to turn North at the Algonkian Parkway and Westmoreland Drive intersection. There is no public access permitted on Askegren's Lane. It is my private driveway. Thanks

Add Directions for Language Learners
I'm a native English speaker, learning Spanish. It would be fun to hear directions in slow Spanish or with translation, such as X means "Turn Right" and Y means "Turn Left."

Alert drivers that a street they are about to take is extremely steep and their car might not make it up.
Alert drivers that a street they are suggesting is extremely steep and that a car might not make it up that steep street. I have recently daily watched cars on a local street in Echo Park using Waze to get around traffic only to be directed up one of the steepest streets in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, unless they have a new car with great tires and transmission many are getting stuck on street on the way up. It is actually funny when I have talked to the people they all say that Waze directed them up this street. I bet…

Direct email for waze
How about a direct way to contact waze. You have all these suggestions but Waze never follows up on them. For instance Google maps gave me something that Waze didn't and kept me probably from an accident. But there's no way to directly report the road closure to Waze because the app sucks on that
Why is Waze not being proactive here?1 vote -
Alternative sound alert for major turnings/junctions
It would be good to have an alert option for just major junctions or turning on your route that are coming up.
For example, when going down a motorway or other route that you have driven previously in the past/know, you don't need constant turn by turn directions, just alerts for "getting off the motorway at junction 11" or "turn right" at a big roundabout etc.

Directions to a campus or multi-facility area
If you get directions to a campus or multi-facility area, then Waze should ask you what building or parking lot you are interested in when you get close. For example, if I ask for directions to Montgomery College in Rockville, as a I get nearer Waze should ask if there is a particular building or parking lot I need directions to.

Stay on Major Road Option, Longer Distance, Faster Time
Give a route option to stay on MAJOR roads, state roads and highways, and choice of a slightly longer distance, but shorter time driving. Waze always takes me off the interstate or major state road to save a few miles off of my route, but in doing so I go through every stop sign, speed table, neighborhood and school zone possible. Sure it saved me a couple of miles, but added loads of frustrating time to my drive, increased gas usage and increased wear and tear on my car.
Not only that, the start and stopping of these shorter routes,…

"Change of Lane" Transparent Buttons while navigating.
Sometimes while navigating, Waze suggests to change from the central lanes, to the low speed lanes, and sometimes we don't follow that suggestion (for different reasons) but still Waze thinks we did, therefore if we send a report then it would be in the wrong lane.
I suggest to place 2 transparent buttons (left and right) for a quick change of lane according in the direction we are travelling, this would be also helpful if we are using a "first level" road when Waze things we are on the "second level".
