Make Waze a perfect navigation system
It definitely needs lane guidance (even google maps which technically is not a navigation system has lane guidance)
When you search for POI it should tell you how far (distance and time) off rout the POI is from your rout. (again google maps does that.)
Wase has problem with long distance. I travel a lot from Somerset NJ to Toronto Canada, and always have to wait at least half an hour for Wase to start working aside from several times crashing and not being able to do anything with phone because it crashes. This might be due to large amount…

Listening to Downcast and using Waze
Has anyone else experienced this? When using Waze and also listening to a podcast using the Downcast app, after arriving at the destination and then starting my next journey, I am no longer able to listen to the podcast. I have arrived at my destination and I stopped navigation. When I get back into the car and i resume listening to the podcast, i enter my next destination on Waze. Suddenly I am no longer able to listen to the podcast simultaneously.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Minimize voice notifications
Recommend an option for minimal voice directions or perhaps just a signal (maybe a beep or two?) shortly ahead of a turn. Voice directions can be excessive and turning them off results in missed turns. A happy medium would be great

Android Auto - Settings icon
Hello.
I use Android, everything is up to date. When I get in and start the car, Android Auto starts and there is a settings icon in the Waze application. While driving, this icon disappears and after stopping the car it is not visible. So when I want to set something, I have to disconnect and reconnect when the car is stationary. I understand that some settings are not allowed while driving, but they could be visible.
Thanks for your help2 votes -
iPhone4G - landscape mode not correct at time zero
more of a bug really.
If Waze is running before I rotate the phone then the switch to landscape mode works. If I launch Waze after rotating the phone (like I do when I snap the phone into my car mount before starting Waze) then the display is stuck sideways.3 votes -
Waze doesn't automatically navigate
Waze doesn't automatically navigate when I select an address from my calendar. This started after last update(?) I have a Samsung galaxy s3. Sometimes when I edit the address in the calendar it will work but most of the time it doesn't. Any ideas?

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 -
Voice options for each phrase
Voice options is a nice feature. But to make it really great it must stop being boring and embarrasing by repeating same phrases every time (especially on fun voices, like Terminator or Zombie).
- Add several possible options for each phrase to make it less boring.
- Never repeat same joke twice in row.
- Only play jokes when time allows, e.g. 1,5 km remaining - a nice oportunity to crank one.
So just allow recording clear directions and jokes separately and mix them programmatically when makes sense.7 votes -
Android Auto issue started roughly a number of months ago
Usually on my car display, Waze icon shows up by default along with Google Maps when I plug my phone into the car. Now it doesn't. I have to start the waze app on the phone for the icon to appear on my car display. I use a 2021 Toyota Corolla LE. Also when I try to use Waze on my car screen, when I use the Uber driver app along side it, Waze freezes saying "kill" the app or "wait" as choices.
Either chosen option, the app doesn't work on the car display. I was wondering what the issue…

Your new app is BAD. THE “plan a drive” is buried, there still isn’t an easy way to add a stop. I’ve quit using Waze as my regular map.
Make the app ACCURATE, and easy to use, plan a drive, change starting location, correct lanes to be in.- NO, I can’t “ stay in the HOV lane” , and exit the freeway at the same time!
I can’t be in the leftmost turn lane, and exit right to the freeway!
I’d like it to be easy to use-change start location, add a stop, maybe even help me route a drive- which stop in which order ( start and stop location, with 2-3 stops on the way)1 vote -
Bad directions in Iowa
Used Waze to travel to the Paramount Theater in Cedar Rapids Iowa. The directions were NOT SUFFICIENT. We drove around looking for the venue for about 15 minutes before we gave up on Waze and just parked the vehicle and walked. I know this is not the correct place to report this problem, but the reporting methods suggested in "Fix a Map Issue" were not working. I guess I'm just too retarded to use Waze.

Add “avoid freeways” to drop down menu on map screen.
It would be super useful to have the option to avoid freeway’s using the drop down list instead of having to scroll through all the preferences to find it. Especially once you’ve already started driving, and you want to change routes. It’s much more useful than “avoid ferries” when you live in a big city. I have 3 freeways near my home, and when I need to go just a few miles it always wants to put on a freeway just to have me get off one exit later.

Drop a pin, select the wrong report category, but you cannot go back to correct like before
Release 4.101 is a step backwards. When I drop a pin and mistakenly select the wrong kind of report (for example tapping Police when I really wanted to tap Hazard) you can no longer go back to make the correct choice, you have to cancel the pin drop and start from scratch. The problem is now the new pin will be a few hundred yards further down the road than the hazard, which is not useful, especially for potholes, debris and the like. Please restore the ability to keep the pin drop but go back to the initial "What do…

Speed limit on
would it be possible to add if there is a speed limit in a public works.
Is it possible to add the start and end of a public works?1 voteThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already displays a speedometer, including both your driving speed and the speed limit for the road you’re currently on.

Small footprint car icon set on the iPhone
Could you please consider to either bring back or reintroduce small footpeimt car icon set. There was very basic set of a blue, yellow or green car set, that were smaller in size and for the smaller car screens they were very ergonomic. Now with the replacement of a larger versions, map screen becomes more cluttered, larger car icon takes more space on the screen and does not bring any value just distraction. When you try to glance to the screen while driving you see big car icon first and then trying to figure out what is around the icon.…

Automatically set an arrival time for 15 or 30 mins prior to my calendar events. .
People don't want to arrive at their destination at the time their event starts. An option in settings to automatically make your arrival time 15 or 30 mins prior to the start time would be extremely helpful.

Place a”Home” or return to previous page icon on every screen in the event you want to start over or change something.
Place a Home or return arrow icon on each page so it’s possible to go to the previous page you were looking at or go back to the Home Screen in the event you want to change route or some thing else

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.
