1. Favorites in iOS widget

   It would be awesome to see more than just work and home in the iOS widget. I would like to see my favorites listed as well with the same functionality offered for home and work.

   Great timing! We’re currently working on including Favorites in the widget. Keep an eye out for updates in your app store.

2. expose intents

   for all clients expose an API

   for Android expose:

   • intents
   • broadcast intents
   • application shortcuts

   for 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 route

   the 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.CA

   waze 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.

3. Alternate Route

   Very frustrating when Waze updates the route with a bunch of turns,including a few difficult left turns, and it results in a time savings of a minute or two. Sometimes it doesnt save any time at all. I suggest an option were you can choose a time savings minimum before waze will take you off your current route. For example I would prefer to stay on my current, more direct route, unless a time savings of 5 min is available then please change my route.
   Thanks

5. 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

6. It would be great if the distance of the alerts was customizable - so that warnings could be provided earlier.

   It would be great if the distance of the alerts was customizable - so that warnings could be provided earlier - maybe even by alert type so that constriuction alerts could be set at 20 miles - and police alerts at 1.

   Hey,

   Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, 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.

   Thanks!

7. 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.

   Taskers integration page is here...

8. Movable speedometer

   Hold your finger on the speed gauge to move the speed gauge to a suitable location on your screen.
   This would be very useful especially on a tablet or phones with big screens.

9. 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!

    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.

12. 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!!!

14. 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.

15. Different scoreboards for editors, drivers and forum

    It has been noticed before that the Waze-community is divided between editors and drivers; editors being the users that earn most of their points by editing, drivers are those that earn most of their points behind the steeringwheel.

    Currently, the scoreboard seems to be dominated by drivers - the topnotch of these are probably truckers, spending their live on the road, driving maybe thousands km per week, making up to 20.000 pts. There is nothing wrong with that, we NEED drivers, and I do not want to suggest that they do not earn their points.

    But for editors these are hard times... you can spend, concentrated, hours per day doing all your good work for the Waze-community and still find you are outsmarted by someone who is earning his points as a sideeffect of the job he is doing - not a chance to win there, ever, because the scoreboard only shows the total of points gained by driving AND editing.

    It could be an incentive for editors if there were a league for editors - that is, a scoreboard for the points gained by editing. That would make it possible to compare your editingefforts with those of other editors, rather than guessing where other users points come from.

    I guess it also works the other way around, if drivers had their own scoreboard, they could compare to drivers.

    And, come to think of it, there are also some points that can be gained in maintaining the forum. We could have a third league for that, too.

    And ofcourse the current league should not be changed - an overall scoreboard like we have it now could still be justified.

    To make competition even more fair, there could exist different leagues for countries WITH and WITHOUT a basemap, as a basemap changes the rules of the game completely.

17. Upside-down interface

    Without a car dock, the iPhone rides upside-down in my cupholder since the car charger plugs in the bottom of the phone. It would be awesome if Waze supported 180-degree rotation in addition to both landscape modes.

18. 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)
    Heavy traffic is fine... you're stuck in your car and you've all the time to browse the options but the other reports need to be quick and non-distracting!

20. have an alert when waze is directing you into a high crime area

    have an audible alert or color code when waze is directing you into a high crime area. Often locals avoid those areas and they will therefore have less traffic. But not always a good idea to go into those areas especially at night.
