One Lane Bridge Alerts
It would be great to have a warning when approaching a one lane bridge, given that it's an important time to slow down and be prepared to stop. By one lane bridge, I mean a bridge with one lane that is shared be the traffic going in either direction (https://www.nzta.govt.nz/roadcode/general-road-code/road-code/about-driving/giving-way/giving-way-on-one-lane-bridges/).
Generally one direction gets the right of way, so it would also be handy to have that included in the warning.

Add the garage with vehicles and settings
I would suggest you introduce the concept of garage. The possibility of adding your own cars to the garage, being able to describe the types of cars, and relate the navigation configurations to the vehicles. In this way, by choosing the vehicle used at that moment with a single button, all the navigation configurations will be automatically set.
For example, I use an electric scooter and with the scooter, I don't want to drive on the motorways, I want to avoid toll roads and I have the permits for restricted areas of the city.
However, when I use my old…5 votes -

Make an option to turn off suggested drives please
A lot of times when I’m selecting an address, waze will load one or two suggested drives on top of it and start navigating me there. I’ve driven to the wrong place several times because of this. We already have the “saved places” so it would be nice if we could turn off the suggestions.

WAZE to Catch Criminals
First as police officer for 35 years I think waze is great and makes our job easier. The goal of every law enforcement agency is (if not shame on them) voluntary compliance with the law. If the mere presence of a police car causes motorists to communicate via waze and slow down, then our job is done without the hazards of a traffic stop!
But my idea is for wazers to help the police get dangerous criminals off the streets. Criminals drive to and from crime scenes and are out in traffic with millions of wazers. Police officers issue Be…

have you ever thought about making a bluetooth remote for updating while driving
create a remote that has the most common updates on it - cop - vehicle on the side of the road - object in road - traffic. you would have to take your eyes of the road just hit the appropriate button for updating. updates would be more accurate and more people would participate in updating which it the whole point.

Do 'waze to friend', nearest location for both parties
I wanted today to have my GF drop me something I needed.
So I kinda had to scroll down in the waze map to understand where should we meet in order to make her and my drive as quick as possible.
So, i just thought on this feature, if both parties using waze and agrees to it, waze will either A) Just give them suggestions for location that will minimize the driving time for both parties. B) Monitor online both parties until they meet, and update in the map, each one of the other's advances.
Took me a while to…

Real time updating of the driving reference. As for today, the information is static when showed on the screen where the driving refgathered
Real time updating of the driving reference. As for today, the information is static when showed on the screen where the driving references are gathered. It would be great if the distances could be updated in real time and not only be showed/updated every time one click on the driving reference bar.

Nearest petrol station on the driven route
During active navigation, on android auto, when I search for petrol station I shows me the nearest one as the crow flies, but not the nearest one on my route. (As does google maps do.)
Sometimes it shows me a petrol station 2km away, but to get there i need to drive 20km, then drive of the highway, and drive 20km back.
Also zooming and moving of the map would be nice while viewing the petrol stations, to see if they are a viable option.1 vote -
Hazard Report End Date
Give users the option to set a hazard report time out or end date. It should default to something sensible for the type of hazard, but can be modified if desired.
For example, there are currently roadworks ongoing for a 2 month period on my daily commute while they are joining up roads and installing a roundabout. The road surface is gravel as they are replacing the road base.
Every day I report it, and almost every day it times out and disappears by the time I drive home again.
Similarly, potholes do not disappear until they are fixed -…

Option to turn off alerts for road construction
I can choose to toggle Road Constructions on or off for "Display On Map."
I would like to be able to toggle off alerts for Road Constructions, specifically, under "Alerts on Route."
Driving in Minnesota in the summer, it is a given that there will be road construction everywhere. It's nice to be able to see it on the map, and have the app use the information in its routing calculations, but I don't need an alert to tell me that it is there. It interrupts whatever else I am listening to, and it is not necessary to alert me…

Notes to self
My mind wanders as I drive and a lot of the time I will think of important things that need to be done/revisited when I am not driving. It would be really nice if there was a way to somehow record notes to myself as I drive that I can then access when I am safely at my destination.

Better iPad interface.
The iPad interface is a bit cumbersome to use while driving. I find many of the buttons are too small. I have my iPad docked in a RAM mount next to the stick shift, so its right next to my shift hand.
Different screens appear in different sizes (like the event selection screen is cut in half when reporting a hazard or similar).
Also, display of speed and similar information in the lower right should be larger, much like the turn-by-turn directions in the lower left.
I would also appreciate any prompt buttons to be larger. If the buttons could…12 votes -

Indicate best lane on upcoming turns with multiple left or right lanes
I find myself still using google maps while driving in the city, because it gets tricky when for example, a right turn needs to be made quickly after a left turn, and there are two left lanes. Google maps indicates that the right left lane is the correct lane. I love everything else about waze and if this one feature was added, I would use it at all time and cut out maps completely!

Add Buttons
Its difficult to give reports when one is driving at 120 km/hr. Users must be able to add buttons, similar to speed reading on the screen, where once can report by touch of a button. One should also have option to drag and place these buttons anywhere on the screen
I would add following to my screen when driving.
- Report Car on Shoulder
- Report Pothole
- Heavy traffic
- police (visible / Invisible.7 votesLong tap on Report button brings up 3 the most common report types.

Small bug
Hello, It seems that there is a small bug, that runs for a while now. After i setup a drive and all is good, sometimes if i switch to other app, or if i receive a call (full screen incoming call) the lower bar from the Drive screen (where the search is, ETA, how many km are till destination etc) turns into white color. Keep in mind that the drive is runing in the dark mode, so that white bar from below is really annoying.
