Plan a drive
I’d love to see more flexibility in the “Plan a Drive” feature. My work schedule rotates weekly — one week I work days, the next I work nights — and this type of schedule is common for shift workers.
Currently, I have to manually adjust my planned drives each daily. It would be really helpful if Waze could support recurring drives with alternating times, for example:
• Week 1: Leave for work at 6:30 AM
• Week 2: Leave for work at 6:30 PM
• Then repeat weeklyHaving an option for rotating weekly schedules or a custom repeating pattern…

Why not put the villages and towns on the map, so if driving through a nice place,youcan see which place you visited or drove through.
As someone, who drives a lot across different parts of the country, I think it would be helpful if the map showed which Village or Town you were passing through.

Recurring Weekly Planned Drive
Have the ability set a planned drive to repeat every day, weekly. With a starting date and til a set date or never to expire.
I go to work every morning at the same time, to the same place and there is a bunch of traffic: is a pain to have to set up this great feature every week225 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

You should "California-ize" your Los Angeles info.
Nobody in LA puts an "I" in front of the freeway. Its "THE" 405 not I-405. It drives me crazy

Yard sales. It would be so awesome if we could add yard sales to the map!

Launch Waze automatically when driving
It's rather annoying for me having to remember to launch the Waze app every time I start driving somewhere. Would it be possible for the app to detect that you are driving and launch automatically? Preferably with as little battery drain as possible.

Planned drive featuring stops
When planning a drive being able to add stops then. I have to add 15-20 extra min to my planned route to be able to get coffee.
40 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year. We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted. Thanks!

Select initial driving direction
Very often Waze starts up navigation facing the wrong driving direction. The direction is rectified as the vehicle starts moving, but it can be too late for the initial turn.
Please add the ability to switch driving direction when navigation starts, via a button.
Additionally, Waze should make a better guess at the intial driving direction by using compass data.
10 votesThank you for this suggestion.
Setting the Car’s direction when starting the app and navigation is a known matter which will be addressed in the future.
There are many complexities in location tracking which cause this issue and hold us from providing a solution.
It’s currently on the back burner, but definitely a part of the backlog. -

Controls on phone when using android auto or carplay
I'm a waze user paired with android auto device. I think it would be alot better if you are able to make it so you can control waze with your mobile device and see the map with android auto, google maps started doing this and it feels like waze is missing this opportunity. It would be great if you can end drives, start drives, see turns up ahead on the phone while using AA while the main map is displayed on AA

Waze App - Create Own Preferred Route.
Hi.
It would be great, if we could create a Navigation Route based on our own personal drives. I usually (99%) drive the same route many times a week.
However, the app doesn’t recognise some directions i go and has to recalculate it. If, having the preferred route stored without any recalculating, it be a nice touch.
Thanks!

Apple Carplay - Share Drive Option
Please add the option to share your drive within Carplay without having to switch to the phone to start this.
In iOS13 Apple Maps now allow you to share your drive so can Waze do the same please?

Plan a drive feature doesn’t save
The “plan a drive” feature doesn’t ever save on my phone. Like it will save but if I close the app, it forgets about the drive. Even if I keep the app open in the background but don’t go in the app for a few hours it deletes all my planned drives. So for all intents and purposes the feature doesn’t work. I would love to use it if that can be fixed in the future.

Add Driving Cops
When cops are driving, you can add driving cop which would make a cop drive on waze at the speed limit of the freeway. If the driving cop is around wazzers, the wazzers can confirm if the driving cop is near by and calibrate where the driving cop is helping out other wazzers.

Please always have an active shared drive (shared to you from a contact driver) to be on the WAZE app or active in the settings..
Please always have an active shared drive (shared to you from a contact driver) to be on the WAZE app or active in the settings.. If you leave the shared drive and try to come back to it, it is gone!!
Please always keep a current drive available to ACCESS at any time either in settings, or somewhere in the App at all times. I am tired of losing shared drives because it is not active in WAZE once you leave it.4 votes -
Driving directions on virtual cockpit
Hey Wazers, I have found out, that when you use Apple Maps app through CarPlay, it is able to transfer information about next driving direction (for example "in 100m turn right" and an arrow) to the control unit of my car and it then shows it to me on my virtual cockpit. Since anothe iOS app can do this, I hope others should be able to, arent they? It will be really good to implement this...

Add voice search while driving.
I want to be able to voice search for an address or a place while I'm driving. It is rather a inconvenience to have to put my vehicle in park in order to search where I want to go. Unless I'm doing it wrong.
38 votesGreat news! You can ask Google Assistant with Waze to navigate you to your destination. Install the latest app version to check it out. You may also check this link to know more on how to use Google Assistant with Waze.

Share a Drive
Bring back to original ‘share a drive’!! This sending a text message is annoying & takes slightly longer. Not having ‘friends’ in Waze is annoying as well. Why did you get rid of these options?
