Do not switch voice to local language when using Waze abroad
The fact that I travelled abroad and decided to use Waze does not mean that I understand the language.
If I set Waze to give me directions in a specific language, it should not change when i am moving to another country.If there is a problem in reading street names in foriegn languages it is better to move to "no street names" mode and still talk to me in a language i understand

Ad a ”hide me at this address" function
Suggestion: Make an option to hide me from view to all other wazers within a radius of ?200? meters from a selected address
Why: For example, At home I want to follow my wife/husband coming from work, and I turn waze on, now everyone can see where I (my nickname) live. From there it is easy to track me when I am home or out at it becomes easy to track my routines.
In the long run it would be nice if accepted friends could se you at home, and that you could choose our own radius.34 votes -

Alerts and Navigation Checkboxes
I would love the option to turn off alerts and solely have the navigation voice be audible!
I've read that the purpose for having the options be "Sound Off," "Alerts Only," and "Sound On" -- no "Navigation Only" -- is to keep the interface sleek, which I completely understand and support... so how about instead of making it a slider from "Sound Off" to "Alerts Only" to "Sound On," you made them checkboxes?
That way, you'd only have two toggles -- "Alerts On/Off," and "Navigation On/Off," and folks in dense metropolitan areas wouldn't have to choose between complete silence with…

Different phrases for the same message.
Waze should have multiple phrases for the same message. For instance, when C3PO is saying turn left master. It could say turn left with a different voice. This way the voice app wont get annoyingly repetitive to listen to.
Also, another idea would be to have different voices for different speeds, when you are going above 50 miles per hour, it could be an X-wing voice.
HILARIOUS idea: have a useless and unintelligible directions reader like: R2D2 beeps, and chewbacca yells.

Report map issues on CarPlay screen
When hitting report on the CarPlay screen, Map Issue isn't one of the options. If there is a map issue you cannot even do it from the phone since the display is different. You have to quickly unplug the phone from the car so Waze goes into normal phone mode, and do it from there. That is too much of a dangerous distraction messing around whit phone cables and the phone. Everything in the app should be easily accessible on the car play screen. For transcribing the map issue you can use voice to text, exactly how the iPhone works…

Integrate Waze for iOS into Google voice search on the Google app
Would it be possible to use Google to search the Waze map database and open a URL to navigate to the destination? Using the same idea as when you click a facebook url, it opens the app and navigates to the relavent page or event etc?

Napolean Dynamite
Napolean Dynamite Voice. I have a friend named Mark and he comes into the bar where I work in Long Island , Floral Park NY. He sounds just like Napolean Dynamite from the movie. I said he can do the Waze app voice navigation. He can say “turn left, don’t hit Tina” “ugh you idiot you missed the turn” let’s make Mark Famous!

On the paw patrol voice it'll be cool to hear. There's a car stopped on the side of the road, i wonder if Rocky has a part for the car.
Other ideas, Zuma, when you get to your location, can say OK dive it, the beginning when you start, we gotta fly (skye) Green means go (Rocky).

Give me the ability to disable music altogether while navigating.
I've never seen an application that just assumes I want to listen to the music on my iphone. I use Pandora. Give me the ability to only receive Waze voice prompts and don't disable my pandora and start playing itunes music.

Option for simple sounds instead of vocal phrases for hazards, police, construction, traffic, etc...
It's great to have so many voice options, but even the best ones can get annoying on long trips. A simple tone for "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder Ahead" would be nice, as would a quick WOOP-WOOP to indicate "Police Reported Ahead".

Points of interest car play
Please add to apple car play the function to easily search for points of interest such as parking or fuel. You can do this on the app but there isn’t a way to do this on car play. You have to use voice search or type in manually “parking”

Limiting typing while "driving" does more harm
Voice only while driving limitation is only making the driving much more distracting and dangerous in certain non-english areas such as Bulgaria for example. Where the voice commands are not working properly. I want for my passenger to be able to type in an address while I am driving, so I won't be distracted by battling with the voice commands and constantly checking what was actually found by them and if it's the correct place. Also why is that even when I pull over and completely stopped I still can't type in. My car is not moving... It's really a…

Can you include the disabled parking spaces in the maps, I do know where these places are in my own city, but not in other cities, it would be a godsend if these places are indicated by the app. I always travel using Waze, I would also like to see the bike paths included in Waze as I often ride my electric wheelchair on bike paths too.

Can we get an option to cut down the number of voice prompts when driving? It's excessive when there's 4/5 music interruption in a mile
If there's a turn or freeway exit coming it prompts at a mile, 1/2 mile, quarter mile which in real time is back to back. While I'm already doing it. If I'm sitting at a light waiting to make a turn it still tells me at least 2 more time to make the turn. I love the Master Chief voice but this app is turning him into a nag. And it interrupts music every time to do so. There should be a tweak for the number of prompts so it's not repetitively telling me to do what I'm already doing.
