Loading Status
I find that usually waze appears to load quite quickly, but will then freeze intermittently and loosing GPS lock whilst actually finishing 'loading' (Contacting server etc). It would be good it some form of message or progress bar could be shown so that it is obvious that it is still loading and not actually frozen

Emergency vehicle live intervention alert to clear traffic
Hi Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a feature that could significantly improve emergency response times and road safety.
When police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles are actively responding to an intervention, they could activate a special “Emergency Mode” within Waze (restricted to verified official vehicles only).
Drivers using Waze nearby would then receive a real-time alert such as: “Emergency vehicle approaching – Please clear the way.”The alert could:
- Notify drivers within a certain radius ahead of the emergency vehicle
- Display a visual warning on the map
- Provide a voice alert encouraging drivers to move aside
- Possibly highlight the direction of approach
In heavy traffic situations, this could help create a coordinated clearing corridor more quickly.Because millions of drivers use Waze daily, this feature could:
- Reduce emergency response times
- Improve safety for responders
- Reduce confusion in traffic jams
- Support “Move Over” laws
This would transform Waze from a navigation tool into an active public safety assistant.Thank you for considering this idea

Fuel Cost Estimation in Route Comparison
Hello,
I would like to suggest adding an estimated fuel cost indicator to route options, similar to how CO₂ emissions are currently displayed.
Why this would be valuable:
• Drivers naturally compare time vs cost when choosing a route.
• While CO₂ information is useful, fuel cost is often a more actionable decision factor for everyday users.
• Having this directly inside Waze would avoid the need to use third-party apps for cost estimation.Proposed implementation (simple & non-intrusive):
• Add an optional field in vehicle settings:
• Average fuel consumption (L/100km or MPG)
• Fuel type
• Use official regional fuel price data (e.g., government sources where available) or average local price.
• Display the result as an approximate estimate (e.g., “~€3.70”) below the route summary, similar to the CO₂ indicator.
• Include a small note: “Estimated based on your declared consumption and average fuel price.”Why this fits Waze:
• It does not change the core navigation experience.
• It enhances route comparison without cluttering the UI.
• It increases perceived value and user engagement.
• It helps users make smarter real-world decisions.Even a basic estimation would already be extremely useful.
Thank you for considering this idea!

Continue straight feature not needed
Can you not make “continue straight” feature optional (like you do tolls or not)? It’s an absolutely not necessary feature and very, very annoying. It’s a good thing you took it of as audio but now also take it off visually, please. Read the reviews. I have not read one single positive review about it, did you?
Thank you!1 vote -
Setting for toll road suggestion
Have a setting in the app, where you can request a minimum time savings before the app gives you toll road suggestions. For example, only provide toll road options. If the time savings is 10 minutes or more. I do not need toll options when it’s only going to save me three minutes.

Visualización elementos mapa 3D
Se propone la incorporación de una visualización tridimensional 3D avanzada que permita representar con mayor precisión los distintos elementos del entorno cartográfico, tales como ríos, montañas, edificaciones y otros puntos geográficos relevantes. Esta funcionalidad, presente ya en la mayoría de los navegadores actuales, contribuiría a mejorar la interpretación del entorno, facilitando la orientación del usuario y ofreciendo una experiencia de navegación más intuitiva y visualmente atractiva.

Touring Every Street ❤️❤️❤️
Lets a user circle an area on the map, then automatically generates an efficient driving/walking route that covers every street inside that area with minimal double-backing. The route is designed for touring/sightseeing. I want to drive through every street in my selected area for sightseeing.
Tourists will love it! ❤️❤️❤️
I have been seeking this feature for years.

"Predictive" traffic information
Would it be possible for the app to have a switch allowing the users to see "predicted ETA" based on traffic data for the route from previous days/weekdays?
For example, I know for sure that a particular segment of a journey will get jammed at about 6:55 - 7:05. However, when starting the 30min journey at 6:40, this particular segment is still "free of traffic" based on live info, and so Waze shows me the route as the fastest, despite the fact that within 15 min this segment will get jammed and the "fastest" route will turn into the slowest.
Is past traffic data that could be used for this available anywhere?
Best,
J
