Personalized notification. Some of the notification I am always interested in others I am only interested in when I am pulling a trailer. Consider allowing personalization of the notification choices. When commuting to/from work when not pulling a trailer I am concerned with Police Officers on the side of the road and objects on the road. I drive the route most every day and know where the red light and speed cameras are located. I do not need to receive notification of these every day as they are static. Having a way to capture MOBILE speed cameras is…

Voice Search shouldn't require so many taps to work.
The best driving apps are ones that you don't have to touch very often since that takes concentration away from the road. Waze lets you search via tapping the Microphone button but then still requires multiple taps to complete the request.
Current steps:
1) TAP magnifying glass
2) TAP microphone
3) Say name of place to go
4) Look at the screen to see the list of possible suggestions
5a) TAP the location you want if shown, or
5b) TAP the Search button for more results and then TAP the location you want
6) TAP the Go button…14 votes -
include a live odometer (android)
As a bicyclist, I don't get a spedometer nor an odometer with my bike. Instead of paying an extra $200 for the setup, I decided to mount my phone to my bike hence me using waze, and having a difficult time deciding whether or not I should use waze, or a diff app for my trips as I like keeping track of my speed, distance, and time for my various trips.
If you can include a hud or at least an indicator for distance traveled, that would be awesome. I'm liking the inDrive app style

Tell us WHY Waze can't find a route
Today I was in Virginia and starting a drive to Northampton, MA. Waze told me that it couldn't find a route. In fact, it couldn't find a route to Boston, or New Haven, or anywhere else north of NY, NY. (It can find a route to NY, NY). I'd like to know why. I tried multiple phones.
When things like this happens, Waze should say WHY it can't find a route.

Bus lanes - when you are allowed to use them - or is there any bus lane watch out for
I would love to see bus lanes in Waze. I live in London, driving 50 or so miles a day and I think it would help to get from A to B faster.
In London majority of bus lanes are restricted for certain times.
for example 07 am to 10 am and any other times anyone can use it. Or different times, the point is that they are not always restricted.The way I see it, a small icon on the screen that resembles to something like a bus lane when the bus lane where you are is blue when…

City Mobility Indicator
City Mobility Indicator:
Mobility is key to our lives. The more mobility a city offers to its citizens the better the city is.
Waze has gathered enough information to provide a worldwide indicator to how efficient, mobility wise, a city is.
All Waze has to do is rank cities combining the agility to go from point A to point B and the usage of mass transportation systems (MTS).
The cities with more agility (speed / easiness) and more use of MTS are the ones with better mobility and the ones better ranked.
Users could input the quality of the mass…

LTN exemption in London
Although some residents, vehicles and disabled persons are exempt from some LTN zones in London and can therefore pass through the barriers and avoid camera fines, there is no feature in the app to create an exemption

Support with login difficulties
How about make it possible for someone to log into Waze from home? Or, when there is trouble with that, make it possible to recover a password? In many months of using Waze on my phone with no trouble, I am constantly unable to logon to the website, the password reset via reset never works (seriously - 0% success), and there does not seem to be an actual person to chat with about this. Very frustrating for what should be a helpful app.

Popup traffic messages when screen is black
I suggest a function, if Waze runs in background or the phone display is turned off black, Waze not just says, but shows with graphic popup window the road and traffic messages, alerts etc.
Then it if no action was made by the user, the popup automatically disappear in predefined seconds laterMany times for many reasons we do not want charge the phone, but the "screen always on" mode drains a battery a lot. (IPhone and Android)

Support for dimensions and combinations such as caravans
I propose that Waze allows users to save multiple vehicles, each with their own dimensions, including height, width, and length. It should also be possible to add vehicle combinations, such as a car with a caravan or trailer, where the additional dimensions are automatically taken into account during route planning.
Users could then manually select the appropriate vehicle or combination before starting a trip, or Waze could automatically detect the vehicle via CarPlay or Android Auto.
It is essential that Waze takes infrastructure limitations into account—such as bridge heights, narrow roads, sharp turns, and low tunnels—so that any routes that…

Do I need a map
Do I need a map
A lot of my driving I know the route, I travel it every day and for there is no reason to change
What I need the the speed (Big Display)- speed alerts (When over the limit) - warnings - hazards, police and radar verbally called and heavy/standstill traffic when approaching recorded warnings within the last 30 minutes.
This would save on the map downloads and for me the use of mobile data, even though I have found this to be very small.
The maps are good for places I do not know, but for to…

Add user control stop alerts reductions
The app without warning reduces alerts on usually travelled routes. Even critical warnings about mapped seatbelt and phone cameras stop regardless of the user's alert settings! WAZE - allow the user to actually control the alerts please.

Automatically start saved route when in car (Android Auto/Apple Carplay)
It would be cool if you could save a router and set it to start automatically the next time you connect to android auto/apple carplay.
It would be a neat little time saver.
For people without auto/carplay this feature could use a specific Bluetooth device as car detection.

Cant use Google Assistant when on Waze
Am a Pixel 2 user. I realized, that while driving around with Waze, being enabled, i am unable to use Google Assistant. When i contacted Google support team, they advised me to reach out to Waze, since i am told this is an App related issues.
In my opinion the ability to use Google assistant is very critical when we are on HIghways, since, there could be any critical reason you may want to communicate to the Assistant to read a text or send a message to a person about any critical update while enroute to home or office. I…

Voice commands immediately on Android auto
It is forbidden in most European countries that you use phone during drive. Voice command helped that. Please revoke voice commands, which worked pretty well in the past.

I would LOVE the ability to adjust on the move so i don't have to unplug my whole phone and adjust while holding it and driving in bumper to traffic or negotiating a detour or closed road. Stopping in the middle of the street is not an option and being able to alter on the big screen is much safer.

Automatic alert clearing
I find it frustrating that a speed or red light camera alert doesn’t clear itself automatically once past the location.
If you don't manually clear the alert it will permanently stay up covering other useful trip information.1 vote -

Android Auto app without head unit
Please update Android auto functionality to include those of use just using the Android auto app on our phones and not through a vehicle head unit. I would love to finally be able to use Android auto, as I have been waiting for Waze to be supported, but I don't have an Android auto head unit.
