Autópálya matrica
Szuper a Waze, de fogalmam sincs, hogyan tudom az országos éves autópálya matricámat beleírni, hogy ne navigáljon folyton el az autópályáról. erre kellene egy működő felület, mert hiába próbálok bármit is beleírni, nem megy.

An option to "ad automatic fuel stops after certain kilometers" - for long distance travel with vehicles with small tanks and no fuel gauge
i travel mostly with my sportbike, and i dont have a fuel gauge on it, as many other bikes dont have it. i freak sometimes out if i miss a gas station when im low on fuel on the highway or so. with this option, i could relax and drive, without watching at the odometer, or waiting for the fuel light to come up, or stoping to search for the nearest gaspump. this option would solve a big headhache for many riders i think. i input after how many kilometers it automatically it navigates me to the nearest gas station, done. no counting, watching, thinking, planing.. no worries. i input where i want to go, check the "auto gas stations" option, input the amount of kilometers when it should navigate me to a gaspump, and it calculates the whole route including all the stops at once. i think this would also be a good option for EVs, not only motorcycles.

Don't want to have to allow access to my contacts to share a drive
In the new version, I can't enter an address or number anymore...and I'd really prefer not to sign over my entire contact list to waze. Can you reinstitute the message/email options in "share my drive"?

Toads on roads
In the spring – March, April – when driving along ponds, lakes or rivers, toads migration is observed on the roads. To reduce the death of these amphibians, Nature Conservation Agency is organizing the “MISSION TOAD” or "TOADS on ROADS" campaign in Latvia. It is known that WAZE could inform other drivers about animals on the road some time ago. But currently it is not possible to report it. Could this function be returned? It would be a great contribution to the preservation of natural values.

Add closure report to Android Auto
There does not appear to be a way to report a temporary closure of a road due to an accident, etc. from within the Waze Android Auto interface. Please consider adding this feature.

Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

Report « ride against traffic » on highway // signalement dédié "contre-sens" sur autoroutes
A report “ride against traffic” would be:
- More easily and faster to report, despite stress.
- The other wazers know immediately what kind of danger is reporting.
- Set off the report 1.5 km / 1 mi before the action take place.-- français --
Pour avoir vécu récemment un contre-sens, c'est frustrant de ne pas pouvoir signaler aux autres wazers un danger de ce type, assez fréquent malgré ce qu'on peut croire (1 contre-sens / semaine en France sur autoroutes, sans compter ceux qui ne sont pas détectés).
Un wazer avait indiqué un "danger sur la route" avec comme commentaire contre-sens. Mais j'ai pu voir le signalement et lire le commentaire qu'une fois à l'arrêt sur l'autoroute, à 10 voitures d'un accident mortel, résultat du contre-sens...Un signalement dédié "contre-sens" permettrait :
- au wazer qui croise le contre-sens de pouvoir faire le signalement hyper rapidement, même dans cette situation de stress,
- aux autres wazers d'être informés immédiatement de la nature du danger,
- d'étendre le signalement à 1,5 km du lieu où il a été vu.A report “ride against traffic” would be:

expose intents
for all clients expose an API
for Android expose:
• intents
• broadcast intents
• application shortcutsfor the slightly savvier user this allows accelerated navigation by macro (Tasker, Llama, OmniDroid, et al)
API allows for similar macro- or automation apps on iOS (ipad, iPhone), windows mobile, other platforms surely
instead of
° load waze
° click or swipe to open navigate to UI
° search for address
° select match
° go
° pick routethe macro app could accomplish this in
ONE click
this is employing merely one of a panoply of time saving waze measures
add to wiki and label unsupported should that be waze druthers
exposing more granularity would
° empower users' judgment
° conditional logic
° offload server use
° displace more Google maps/nav "sheeple"less savvy wazers (and waze) could benefit from the efforts of the more savvy
- apply restrictions not for commercial use to kill market predatory-developers, those who spew poor code to fashion self serving malware or apps which exist primarily to render ads
the more non-commercial participants the
° better crowd value
° preferred word of mouth
° google hemorrhaging
° seize market from social gps (displace glympse et al)add dead reckoning stir pot gently
accept GPS coordinates as destination
mix in more expansive XMPP integration for those who value communication and privacy. Use XMPP Jingle as PTT (Push To Talk)
then waze is socially adept, privacy conscious **, open protocol embracing PLATFORM with potential for plug-in waze domain expansion
**
http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/OTR , http://otr.cypherpunks.CAwaze ought jump in both feet by implementing mpOTR
XMPP is financially wise, utterly displacing sms as many find mobile bills for smart appliances becoming unjustifiably costly (as texting over sms is often half the bill).
° retain wazers despite economic uncertainty
° niche domination
° pair with SIP SIMPLE (additional texting option), SIP presence, and SIP for conferencing while traveling [in tandem]Jingle has video potential that would not tax waze cloud.

Android Auto - Use Car Antenna
Right now, when connecting to Android Auto, Waze still uses the phone GPS antenna. In comparison, Google Maps pulls the location from the headset/car antenna, which is often placed optimally to maximize GPS signal strength from within the car.
Please set Waze to use the car's GPS antenna when connected via Android Auto

Time dependent Speed Limits
We really need the ability to add time dependent Speed Limits for school zones or other times of the day where the maximum speed limit changes, this would not only help with navigation slow downs (which most school zones wouldn't affect too much anyway) but would also increase safety for drivers and pedestrians in the area.
If we were able to set speed limits during specific times of the day it would mean a popup warning for a changed speed would mean users would be aware and slow down and hopefully prevent accidents from occurring in this speed sensitive zones.
Please vote up if you agree, so we can get this added to the Waze map editor!!!

Waze map on cluster screen (behind steering wheel) on Android Automotive cars
Electric vehicles powered by Android Automotive from brands like Renault, Volvo or Polestar have the Waze app ready.
However, the application only works in the main infotainment screen and does not replicate the maps in the cluster screen like Google Maps does.
This is a big miss in order to use Waze instead of Google Maps, since it is very practical to see the map behind the steering wheel.
We hope in a near future you can have access to cluster screen and replicate the Waze maps there.

Tasker intergration
Tasker is a automation system for Android based on profiles that contains states and actions.
For instance when Tasker sees the bluetooth in my car it begins to reject most calls, reads texts aloud me, and sends a automated reply. Currently that reply just says I will get back to them when I reach my destination. Waze knows that destination and my ETA. I would like to send that in the automated texts. I would also like for Tasker to be able to tell Waze a destination. Using this info it would also be possible for Tasker to do events if the ETA changes due to traffic, like send a text to my wife telling her my new ETA for coming home from work.
You could also have a event passed to Tasker like "Arrived at destination" and then have actions based on that.

Option to disable route recalculating alert. That nerve wracking chirp is driving me crazy!
Whoever approved that grating & obnoxious squawking route recalculation alarm should be fired. I drive a cab and even my customers cringe when they hear it and say "what's that awful noise". PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET US TURN IT OFF! Alerts only should mean alerts only. Hearing that damn noise screech and grate 5 times when I'm driving through a parking lot is maddening!

Quick report buttons
It would be a good idea to place some (2??) customizable quick report buttons on the main Map/interface; in such way we can report speed traps/ dangers/ police while we are driving with a single touch (or double to exclude unintended reports)!
There are too many menu/options to make a report... the only way to put them live is to stop the car and going trough a jungle of options... ( :geek: and I'm used to that! I'm an android user)
