Have an easy to use "manual start/pause" button
It would be helpful to have a "Start now" button. I'll often set my destination while still parked, so the part about navigating out of the parking lot is the app getting confused over and over while I navigate out to the street.

Guide me to my parked car
Dropping a parked car dot is great, but it's not always intuitive which way I need to walk to find my car after a long day. Waze could use my device's compass and gps location to literally point me back to my car, or any other point on the map. This is not a "walking" mode of navigation, but rather a way to view the bearing to a particular point. One way to accomplish this is to simply provide an option to set map rotation to follow the compass rather than north-up or heading-up. Heading-up only helps find my car…
27 votesGreat news! The feature about tracking where you parked your car is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Add more delay to the direction timing for motorcyclists
I often use Waze while driving my motorcycle using voice-only mode, and almost invariably, the voice prompts for turning left or right were only spoken as I am passing through intersections.
This causes me to miss most turns, forcing multiple route recalculations.
I wish you would add more delay to the direction timing that Waze’s voice-only mode uses, especially if the user has identified themselves as a motorcycle driver. It’s very hard to change direction at the last second in a motorcycle as one might imagine.
It would be helpful if your team tested it while also driving on a…

Option for reporting closed roads in map editor with start and end time
During big events many roads can be closed. It would be great if map editors (maybe only lvl2+) could report this directly in the map editor with a given start time and end time.

Dynamic direction depending on IP of people who is accessing
Hi Waze Team, I just want to ask if you have already a functionality where we send a link (Waze direction) then the link will automatically detect where the person will be coming from depending on the IP address they've accessed it? Thanks!

PLEASE FIX ASAP -> Fix the pointing arrow facing the wrong direction
When I get in my car the arrow just flips to the opposite direction and shows that route.
It will be better if the app can allow to calibrate so that the arrow can face in the direction I am looking at. I am keep on frequently getting this problem and this needs to be fixed. I have looked up on the suggestion box and someone has also mentioned this in 2020 and no-one has fixed this issue
Please fix this problem. This way all drivers are able to navigate safely to their destination.

Navigation start option
I would like to see a feature added to only begin verbal navigation once you have driven a certain distance from your home or work - say 1 to 2 miles or at least the first few turns that get you out of your neighborhood or where you work.

Please add a signal of some kind to alert us that you will be speaking a direction..I miss the directions if I am listening to music.
Before voice directions, please insert sound of some kind to alert us that the voice direction is coming so I can turn down the radio or the music.
By the time I turn down the music, I've missed the voice directions.Or, is there a way to repeat the voice direction--

BUG: Apple route direction "stack" on phone not updating during drive
When using Apple Carplay, the latest version is NOT updating the text direction "stack" seen on the phone while driving. Previous versions would remove the turns after they've been completed. The only way to get the stack updated is to toggle to road reports then toggle back to the directions on the phone.

Add back the ability to simply tap at the top to see a direction list
In the latest release, the ability to tap at the top (where the next turn is) and see the direction list is no longer there. This is the only reason that I used Waze over other tools is that it allowed me to quickly see a list of directions. The use case for this is that if I'm turning left, I also need to know what the next turn is so I can get in the correct turning lane. If this is not added back, I will have no reason to use Waze.

Gives the option to cancel a Waze direction change order and recalculate
When we are on a path of two parallel lanes in the same direction, and you being on the track 01 the Waze commands you to go to the track 02, if you stay on track 01 the Waze understands that you went to the track 2 (perhaps by proximity of two lanes).
The problem here is that the Waze calculates the speed of the track 02 taking your car as reference, however it is on the track 01. Thus the track 01 would be the best option, but for this error that indicates that you (and others that…

Startup sequence is misarranged; initial direction; use accelerometer; easier access to 2d map
I'll describe the problem by describing my experience. Often I'm in a hurry to get directions and go. I start Waze and there's a relatively long wait (4 sec) for the splash screen to pass--understandable, but still a minor annoyance. Then I just want to get to Navigate so I can get my route. But Waze is busy drawing the map for 2-3 sec, which I don't need to see right now. At last I get to Navigate. I select my destination from my favorites and the machine starts route-searching.
Only at this point does Waze decide to…

Allow a start/stop feature for hazzards/lane restrictions, traffic jams, etc.
When traveling through a construction area allow a start/stop point so others can choose atl. routes. This can also be for speed reductions, accident sites, etc.
