Share route and location with friends.
Give an option to share not only your route but also your location on that route with your friends. This would be a safety feature. In the event that you don't make it to your destination, your friend could see your location. This idea is inspired by the loss of a fellow student who was in a one vehicle accident on her way home to visit for the weekend. Her car ended up under a bridge and she was not found for three days. With a safety feature that allows sharing of your actual location as you follow your route…

route options
I would love an option to save a route or favorite it, not just a destination. Once I was rerouted through a backroad due to bad traffic, and really loved the drive. It was pretty with a very similar ETA. I later wanted to go that route again, and wanted to check and compare the ETA of that vs another route, but the route was not listed later on. I would love to be able to favorite that route and be able to compare it against the other route suggestions.

Sort searches by smallest deviation from the route
When I create a route and then try to search a place (within the categories), the list shows the closest places, but it doesn't mean the smallest deviation from the original route. The results should be sorted by smallest deviation or by smallest increase on ETA.

Save a route
I have a specific back roads route I like to use when travelling that I would like to save. I can't find this feature in Waze, but would like to assign it to a favorite and share with my family and friends.

Heads up when new route has toll
When traffic is heavy on toll-free roads, waze redirected me to a new route which had toll (to save me 10 min in total).
My suggestion:
if the new route has toll as compared to the toll-free route: Give me a notification.
Better yet: show me how much toll i have to pay to save me x minutes.
I can then accept the new route WITH toll, or stay on the old route WITHOUT toll.3 votes -
Implement route bar for traffic on route
Would like to see a route bar (or something similar) that would show traffic on the route. TomTom utilizes this and its extremely helpful, showing traffic with estimated wait minutes while in the traffic. Waze currently might show its traffic icon up ahead but not on the entire route so users can plan, see and/or adjust.

Compare Waze suggested route with actual route taken
Sometimes I decide to deviate from the Waze-suggested route, in which case Waze updates its routing information accordingly.
I would love to be able to see what would have happened hadn't I deviated. In other words, a comparison of where I am versus where I would have been had I not change my route.3 votes -

Daily Route Prompts
I would love to have a setting I can toggle, especially for saved routes.
The idea would be that I only get prompts (that interrupt my music) for hazards/traffic on my daily route since I should know that very well. Additionally, if Waze sends me a different way due to traffic or an accident ahead I would get normal turn-by-turn directions until I am back on my normal route.

Option to Disable Auto-Rerouting After Route Is Set
Hello,
I’d like to suggest a feature that allows users to disable automatic rerouting after setting a route.
As a driver, it’s not always possible (or safe) to constantly check the device to notice when Waze changes the route and tap “No thanks” in time to stay on the original path.There are countries where you must follow a specific route due to legal or financial reasons — for example, vignette zones, road restrictions, or toll obligations. When Waze changes the route automatically, it can cause problems such as fines, invalid route logs, or entering roads not suitable for…

Emergency Route Mode
"Emergency Route Mode" – a new Waze feature that instantly calculates the fastest route in urgent situations, bypassing all preferences (tolls, traffic, dirt roads, rural routes, highways, etc.). It builds user trust in real time, strengthens brand loyalty, and opens strong monetization channels via smart emergency ads, premium upgrades, and city partnerships.

Add a route option
I live in Texas and the route options do not take into consideration safety. Usually it gives me routes that are dark( no street lights) and thru miles in rural areas. I would like to suggest that a safe route option is added to the route options that takes the driver thru populated and areas with good street lightning. One should never compromise safety.

Show Road events information in Map view - Plan Route
In the earlier version of Waze this feature was available. With the new update the feature disappeared:
When choosing the best route out of 3 options Waze shows the list of route and the map. In the Map View not it is missing the traffic information!!!!To be able to choose the best route it is totally necessary to see WHERE exactly along the route you should expect traffic.
The list view shows this info somehow, but it is difficult to guess where exactly the road events are just on a simple line. In the Map View, you can easily…18 votes -
Add route style 'safe and simple' & 'eco-drive'
Selecting 'safe and simple' route will navigate you with safe wide roads without to many small cuves and turns. It might nog be the fastest of shortest but will avoid danger. Selecting 'eco-drive' caculates the most environmental friendly route and minimizes fuel consumption and pollution, just add you car and engine type in the settings menu and Waze will calculate your eco-ride.

System constantly reroutes then the server times out & deletes exsiting route
When I set a route the system constantly reroutes almost every quarter to half a mile. At least 50% if not greater I will then get a message that the server timed out. This wouldn't be so bad except that when this happens it deletes the route I'm trying to follow until it tries again and usually then the server returns a route. This makes Waze virtually unusable. Please make it that once Waze has a route that it continues displaying and following that route until it gets new information from the user or server for a…
