Waze for golf
Waze should create a version called Playz for golf courses.....you can post how long a hole is taking based on who's ahead of you, whether the greens are fast or slow, if dear or alligators on the hole (yes!). My Garmin golf watch can't tell me ANY of this! Have the PGA sponsor you and they can let fans join in as golfers post updates!

Notifications when screen off, like Google Maps
Google Maps has a very practical feature for travelers who frequently use the same route over and over: Turn your phone screen off, and you'll be notified whenever turns are coming up. If you know the route, maybe it's a long one and you just want to be reminded not to miss turns, it's really useful to have these notifications.
In Google Maps, this notification feature extends really well onto Pebble watches, so your wrist gets a gentle vibration for each upcoming turn while the phone screen is off.
Could Waze please raise turn notifications when the screen is…

Don’t let stationary users perform status updates for police cars.
Make it so that you need to be moving in order to click that a cop car is no longer there.
Don’t let stationary users perform status updates regarding the fact that a police car is in a spot or not. Once you do this, cops will stop watching Waze to undo what drivers are reporting so that they do t get noticed.
Please.
We will trust the app 1000% more!!! Word will spread.

"Express" Hazard Reporting
Love Waze, but I don't like how many actual touches are required to report a hazard. The more time it takes to report a hazard, the more time your eyes are not watching the road. Also, the most common hazard I see is a car stopped on the shoulder. I'd like a two-touch way of reporting this. If the report menu could be customizable to include a "quick report" option for the most common hazard a driver encounters, this would be a solution.
20 votesYou can long tap or swipe up the Report button to bring up the most common reports – saves a click. Also, consider voice reporting!

Using the smartphone's front camera for alert about driver's tiredness
In Android there is a feature named "smart stay" which allows the smartphone to recognize, using the front camera, if the user is watching the screen (in order to turn off the screen when not in use) - see
http://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-smart-stay-galaxy-s3I wonder whether it would be possible to create a similar function in Waze, that would recognize (by visually recognizing when the eyes close for longer than a fraction of second) and alert if the driver falls asleep. If this is possible (even partially), it can save lives.

Add bike lanes on roads
There should be an option where you can see bike lanes, it can pop up on the side of roads that actually have bike lanes. If there is a bike lane and you need to turn where the bike lane is, it could give you a warning to watch for cyclists in the bike lane. With adding bike lanes, you can even add a feature for cyclists! When you put in your destination on Waze, there could be a pop up that is a little button which says CAR or BIKE. You could switch it on or off depending if…

Snow removal equipment
I was in Maryland during the recent blizzard. I was able to make the return drive to Pittsburgh on Monday. The roads where clear, however road crews were doing snow removal on the shoulders, left and right. I found during my drive the crews were often on turns and had I had no warning to be able to change lanes for safe distance.
That's when I thought of a SNOW PLOW notification. It would include a left or right choice and on road or shoulder choice. Moving or stationary would be a choice too, but might be a bit much…

communicate with users on scoreboard
everyone.
I have a simple suggestion that may bring more editors to Waze communities, which is add a (button) in the scoreboard in waze app to give us ability to communicate directly with the names that appear in the list. I always monitor this panel and I hope to reach these users to talk to them about the editing map and whether they have passion like us, but I can't find a way but to watch1 vote -
Map & Command more like Google!
PLEASE READ & VOTE!!
Instead of “Turn right / left in .1 miles” (esp. for in-town and city driving) change to Google-like commands (e.g.- “At the next light / stop sign, turn right/left) and SHOW Device - light or sign at corners - on the map, as such - sign or light).
Doing so also helps to know HOW MANY lights or signs remain between you and your next turn.
It’s impractical to watch your mileage in these conditions. It’s more “natural” - as when someone is telling you directions in the passenger seat - to look for the next…3 votes -
Optimal route calculation - include price (consumption/persons time)
I notices that fastest route is chosen.
I always watch for alternatives if there is a similar time but shorter version.
Wery ofter is similar time (for example 20minutes faster vis highway, 23 minutes via road), but via high way is 30 km, via normal road is 15km. Difference in consumprion is huge, difference in time is acceptable, even if I calculate the price of my time.If you calculate best way based on "price", optimal way will be better.
Solution: calculate price of people time (for example 10USD for an hour) and 0,1 USD for one kilometer. Best price…

Exceeded Speed Limit Warning
Hi the beep sound is heard after exceeding the speed limit but only once.
My request or suggestion is to have an option to choose if the beep should be continuous till the speed is not reduced OR to beep only once when speed is exceeded (later one is the existing set up)
Hope you understand and add this small request to the app.
I use the app by listening instead of watching so one beep for exceeding speed limit doesn't help..

Notifications on screen that divert my attention while driving.
when I get started a black box pops up with drive ideas and while I'm driving it constantly pops up with useless info. I'm beginning to watch my screen more than the road now. Audio cues are the way to go, I don't need my screen calling my attention to a radio while I'm driving. I'm sure a lawyer would love to sue you based on this so at least give me a way to stop the messages on screen.

Add option allowing your URs to be posted under your username (not anonymoulsy)
It has been said numerous time that due to private data protections, URs are always posted anonymously.
However, many editors use the UR system as a mean to "take notes" of problems during a trip, and then will correct deal with those UR when on WME after the trip.
However, those URs are always marked as anonymous on WME and other editors often start to reply those UR not knowing that those were done by other fellow editors. This leads to a lost of time, since those UR should be considered as "already watched by another editor".
The proposition…

Navigation Notification Pop-ups
I have an iPhone 11 Pro updated to the latest software, iOS 16. When I use Waze for navigation and then go to my Home Screen I cannot see my navigation, or rather when I am close to a turn or freeway exit then I do not receive a notification at all warning me.
On the contrary, when I use Apple Maps for navigation anywhere and I go to the Home Screen, or even lock my phone for that matter, then I will receive pop-up notifications (even on my watch, take that Waze!) with directions on where to exit…2 votesThanks for reaching out.

Android Auto blocking scrolling
When using Waze over Andoid Auto, it blocks selections until you stop the vehicle. It is rather irritating as it is possible to use Waze if I disconnect from Android Auto, select address on the handset and reconnect, which requires 5x as much distraction.
It is OK to warn to watch the road instead, but it should release the further selection after a while like the phone app.
The most irritating is when I have just reached the desired
address and you mask it with the blocking warning :(
I advise that you unblock the screen after a while (10-15…2 votes -
Option to set how many seconds before event like police, i get the vocal notification and pls add voice commands!
An option for the vocal+icon notification customizable... Also an option to set 2 notifications if i want for police reports... So i can have one like 30s before and then another 10s before or 2km away. Sometimes by the time i hear the notification i have to break too hard to be able to stop before the police radar can see me. And they can record 1km away! Also an option to have on the screen customizable icons... Like i would want to have 3 icons so i can easily report police or a pothole or a dead animal... By…

Trip planning option removed from "Go to destination" window.
PLEASE bring back the "trip planning option" ("drive at xx arrive at xx") to the main GO TO DESTINATION window !!!
The previous version was better because this option is very useful and important when going to a destination. Searching for it in the main menu is a waste of time...and because we don't always plan a destination.Sometimes, when I want to go to a destination and I don't need to go now, I look for it and I watch the trafic jam. If I need to wait a few minutes/hours, I plan the route.
Thanks for your work…

Route color change after we past it
As we all know, from route planning to until we get to the target, the track color is the same (purple by default).
The problem is that the section we past and the section we are going to is in the same color.
Since the software can identify the direction of motion, I suggest that every section of the planned route that we passed will return to normal color of the map or will fade to make a Separation from the section which you are traveling to.
If you navigate while watching briefly on the map from time to…7 votes
