  2. Fix Volume bug

    You can only adjust the volume (using the hard buttons) while Waze is vocally communicating with you. Between alerts/navigation, pressing the volume buttons does nothing

  3. Reference to a nearby street where the chances of finding free parking are greater

    I set a destination on Waze and when I arrived I discovered that it was a main street with no on-street parking while at a distance of 200-300 meters there were plenty of free or token paid parking on the street.
    In such a situation I would be happy to receive an offer from Waze when it detects that the destination is on a busy main road and offer a nearby streets with higher chances of finding parking.

  5. Use predictive modeling to better route traffic during a major traffic event

    Western Washington state experienced a major traffic event when a train derailed and shut down Interstate 5 for the whole day. 60K vehicles use that stretch of I-5 every day. I used Waze to navigate home, but a 40 minute drive turned into 5.5 hours because of the accident and using side roads.

    Waze tried its best to find the best route, but the predicted two-hour drive kept getting worse and worse. Of course, there's not much historic information to know how to the side and back roads would reach to that much traffic flooding onto them, but Waze failed…

  7. Revise the police notification regarding "Is it still there?"

    Please revise the police notification where you confirm if they are still there. The timer begins ticking when the notification occurs, and if I am waiting at a red light, then I will not be able to confirm if they are still there, because the timer will end by the time I arrive the police location.
    It would be good to have the confirmation of the police 1 km or so after the police location and not 1 minute or so after the police notification. So the timer should tick by counting the distance, and not the seconds.

    Thanks!

  8. Waze should alert the user if traffic or an accident causes it to re-route you, rather than just doing it.

    Alerting the user that a better route is available due to an accident or traffic, rather than just re-routing, would leave the user better informed. I eneded up in a 40 min traffic jam due to an accident because Waze tried to divert me off my usual route with no explanation. My old Garmins/TomToms used to do this.

  11. Places icons

    A way to add gasstation icons, parking icons, trainstation icons etc. So you can see them on the map.
    Maybe in combination with zoom distance, at what 'hight' you want to see them. for instance, highway gas station and parking space you want always to see. But icons in a city, only when you are close.

  12. waze travel

    I guess all road travelers would like the following idea.
    It won't be a bad idea if Waze adds an option or button called Waze Travel where the app suggests hotels Airbnb or camping areas for users when they have to travel for more than 8 hours so the distance can be cut in half.
    for example if I am traveling from a country to another and I have more than 8h hours on the road it takes me time to divide the distance locate the road I am tacking and then find hotels around the area.
    so that would…

  13. Alerta de conducción contra el tránsito

    Hola Waze!!

    Es posible que incluyan una alerta, parecida a las de luces, que alerte por conducir en una vía contra el tránsito.

    Antes de ayer usaba la aplicación, sin indicación de ruta, e ingresé una calle sin letreros. El Waze solo se volvió loco con la flecha y no me percaté hasta que otro conductor me advirtió.

    Espero que lo consideren muy útil.

  14. Another speed camera idea

    I want field box indicating if there is a speed camera on my planned route. I want tis option with audio and I want it to take some noticeable portion of the screen. I also want this box to indicate calculated distance to the next Hazard zone each time. I want the Hazard box to stay until no hazards.

  15. CarPlay Suggestions

    Equipment: iPhone Xs Max 128gb
    Volvo XC60 Inscription 2018

    1. Can the map be made bigger?
    2. When an alert appears, make it so it is quite apparent. Currently I need to keep looking at the center console to see what is ahead.
    3. On the iPhone, auto refresh the "alerts ahead" list of items. Have the miles tick down continually. Perhaps this is a good area to fix #2.
    4. There are times when I want to use my built in nav system when CarPlay enabled. Is there a way to toggle CarPlay on/off?

    I have been accepted to the beta…

  16. Multiple nearby incidents

    Waze does not allow for reporting of multiple incidents of the same type in a short distance. If I report a car on the shoulder for example (or if there is already an existing report of said car) and I go to report a second one, if I'm still close enough to the first report it will limp them together. I feel like there should be a pop up saying "there is already report of a car on the shoulder in this area. Is this the same incident or are you reporting a new one?" And then allow me…

  17. Alerte Radar android auto en mode horizontal

    onjour,
    Quand est prévue la maj sur Waze pour la prise en compte des zones de dangers (radar) en versions en horizontal sur les smartphones et véhicules. J'explique. Lorsque mon smartphone est vertical, j'ai bien la barre verte mais quand il est en horizontal, ce n'est pas le cas. Beaucoup d'utilisateurs de sont plaints de ça , quand est-ce que les développeurs vont prendre en compte ces revendications ?
    Merci

  18. Change the voice for police or red light camera.

    I tend to tune out the monotone voice of the Waze speaker and when there is a police or red might camera I don’t register in my mind that it’s there. Would be nice if I could change specific alerts like that to be a different noise alert like a beep or a different voice.

  19. False data due to UI

    When sitting in heavy traffic, it blocks the view of ETA status until an alert ‘still there’ or ‘not there’ is not selected, in CarPlay mode.

    This makes people report false data just to get back to the ETA screen. They don’t even know if that alert is present or not, leading to various occasions of false data.

    Suggestion: to enable that pop up in heavy traffic once the user is closer to that located bubble.
