Traze
I just recently stopped at a rest stop during a 5-hour drive to get some food. When I went in, I only went to the bathroom, then left, because an entire middle school was filling it up. Traze would be an add-on to the app that allows people to see whether or not a rest stop is crowded (Get it, Trays?)

Reporting Feature / Report Editing
The ability to create or move an item you reported, e.g. police, accident, etc. after the fact.
Sometimes you happen upon an accident scene so suddenly you do not think immediately of reporting it on Waze. And it won't help to report it 1 km further. So I would like to be able to add the event and select the precise location after I left the area already. And the ability to drag the icon to a more precise location if I reported it a tad too late.
Also, if I am driving alone without a passenger to click the…

More accurate gps
The only reason I do not use waze more often is that the nevigation is delayed. Unlike google maps I cannot see exactly where I am on waze there is a 15sec delay. This confuses me and makes it harder to navigate and drive at the same time. By the time I pass the turn the gps shows me at the turn.

Route icon moved from the top to the right in Apple CarPlay. Please move back icon back to the top to reduce driving focus.
Waze app was recently updated in July 2023 (~ver 4.96.1) and Route icon moved from the top to the right in Apple CarPlay. Please move back icon back to the top. My Acura uses a round dial to navigate Apple CarPlay and is not a touch screen. Previously it was a simple rotate to the right while drive to find alternate driving routes, but now it takes several clicks causing a major distraction to driving focus.

Add option to make restrictions visible similar to closures
This goes together with a suggestion on the WME side to add a check box in WME.
Since there is no easy way to add closures based on a schedule, there are times it would be nice to have restrictions that can be scheduled show in the app similar to a closure. That way someone driving without a route will have the visual cue like a closure.

Make an option to turn off suggested drives please
A lot of times when I’m selecting an address, waze will load one or two suggested drives on top of it and start navigating me there. I’ve driven to the wrong place several times because of this. We already have the “saved places” so it would be nice if we could turn off the suggestions.
2 votesGreat news! The option to turn off Trip Suggestion is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Change the color of the orange ride sharing icon to green once someone is actually sharing.
That little orange icon that let's you know that your ride is live is really small. The only way to tell if someone is actually following your ride is if the tiny 0 changes to the number of friends following. Could it change to green so that I just have to take my eyes off the road briefly to tell if I'm being shared?

Change Dangerous Direction Given by Waze
Near Brandon Florida a direction is given to take Dali Drive to reach Bloomingdale Avenue. If directions are followed and one is turning left, one is forced to cross 4 lanes with very poor visibility! If the app instead directed one to drive just 1 block further instead, the left turn can be made safely with the traffic signal.

Integrate with Google Latitude
Would you kindly consider integrating Google Latitude in a future iPhone version? I'd love to autoupdate my waze-less family on where I'm driving and it's a bit awkward having to run waze+glympse or waze+latitudie at the same time. If waze was able to update the Latitude position at least every few minutes or kilometers, it would help a lot. Many thanks in advance, and thanks for waze, it works pretty good although there aren't too many users here yet.
20 votesAt the moment this isn’t possible. Hopefully you will find the FB and Twitter integrations sufficient.

Speed bump notification
Please can you make speed bumps in a different category so it can be turned off without removing the rest of the hazards. Living in London means I get a speed bump notification every 5 seconds and it’s very distracting when driving. Thanks, Josh

Use smart-band's vibrator to notify a danger zone
Because I'm a motorcycle pilot, I need to be more focus on the road than any other vehicules.
I just got a Xiaomi Mi Band which is a BLE health tracker.
This BLE smart-band contains a vibrator and has libraries available for iOS and Android to communicate with (eg. vibration control).It would be just AWESOME if my smart-band could vibrate when I enter a danger zone. Like that I would not have to always take a risk by looking down on my phone while driving.
A pattern could be defined for the vibrations. Like 3 vibrations = entering a…

Please fix dark mode in Apple Carplay.
It’s been broke since last update. It only works right when I open the app on my phone and radio at the same time, which negates the purpose of carplay being handsfree. I’ve been patiently awaiting an update for weeks, but I’m about to delete your app for burning my retinas every morning when I drive to work in the dark.

Boat trailer option
Please add an option for towing a trailer. I'll be towing a 23' boat from DC to ME in August. Generally this can only go on interstates and roads without height restrictions. I know from past drives that Waze will try to take us on the Merritt or Taconic parkways where trailers are not allowed and clearance is low

unsafe streets
It would be very helpful to know if you are entering to a dangerous area meaning like a ghetto or some place where is dangerous to be driving at certain time or know that you can get assaulted by knowing this you can change route to a safer one.
Sometimes you get into streets that are very dangerous for saving some minutes on your route.
Being able to report dangerous areas would be great and safer for driving.
I know a lot of people talking about this on the city as an issue of waze.

Add the garage with vehicles and settings
I would suggest you introduce the concept of garage. The possibility of adding your own cars to the garage, being able to describe the types of cars, and relate the navigation configurations to the vehicles. In this way, by choosing the vehicle used at that moment with a single button, all the navigation configurations will be automatically set.
For example, I use an electric scooter and with the scooter, I don't want to drive on the motorways, I want to avoid toll roads and I have the permits for restricted areas of the city.
However, when I use my old…5 votes -

Waze seems to find destination that are in other countries. Please allow setting of limits on the distance and/or locations. I am in Canada and I've gotten destinations in England. I drive a car, not a boat.

Route mapping/sharing social
I believe having some sort of route mapping option akin to services like mapmyrun and Strava would be a great way to introduce a more social aspect for those of us who like driving for the sake of the drive or an adventure.
Myself and many of my friends enjoy just going on random drives where we just go where the wind takes us and see sights with no particular destinations in mind. However mapping those routes and destinations for future reference is challenging and honestly time consuming.
A feature like this as I could currently see it would…
