Team up with Pokemon for rare pokemon locations.
Rare pokemon are hard to find, but they are always in set locations for a small period of time, just like a traffic accident. You could easily piggypack the popularity of Pokemon Go and get a ton of people to use your app for finding and reporting rarer pokemon locations.

Motorcycle Mood
It would be good to have a Motorcycle Mood (guy with a helmet or on a motorcycle). This would help other car Wazers identify motorcyclists and even other motorcycle Wazers find each other.
It would be helpful to also change some of the functions to be more user friendly for motorcycles, typically we ride with the phone in our pocket or on the handlebars.

Bring back Colonel Sanders voice
Make Colonel Sanders navigation voice permanent
23 votesThank you for your suggestion!
As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!
Want to try another voice?
Tap Menu and tap the Settings wheel.
Tap Voice & sound.
Tap Voice Language and select the voice you’d like to use. -
Hazard Acknowledgement
Hazard Acknowledgement:
I meet way too many “out of date" hazards, so this is my suggestion.
On Waze, when a driver is approaching a hazard, a dialog box should appear. In the dialog box it should read: “Hazard still here?” The driver should then have the option to press a “Yes” button or a “No” button.
There should also be a timing and a colour code system. i.e. If the “Yes” button is pressed the clock will reset to zero, the hazard icon will stay/change to red. Other drivers can then click the hazard icon and see that this hazard has just been confirmed by another Waze user a few minutes ago.
If the “No” button is pressed, the hazard icon would change to black to indicate to other Waze users that this hazard may not be present any longer. If the hazard receive say 2 or 3 “No’s” it would then be removed.
Hope you agree :)

sync favorites
Why can't Waze sync my "Favorites" between my multiple devices? This is an issue that's been requested for years now, by many Waze users, and I just don't understand why it is so difficult to implement, especially since so many other apps have managed to figure it out!

Police on East Coast using Waze?
My friends and I, spread out in a few states on the east coast have noticed the police are using waze and Untagging themselves at the location of speed traps. This actually has been confirmed by an officer in Central New Jersey. Since many Waze users use the app for the police notifications I suggest in order to remove a police notification 2-3 DIFFERENT waze users must hit "not there"... I would seriously consider adding this sooner than later, maybe in the next update
Thanks for the great app

Allow default sharing of route to android share rather than internal sharing mechanism
Currently sharing is done to an alphabetical user list from my contacts. This is of course kind of silly since most of us use waze for navigation but not as a means of communication. I would like to see the old sharing back as default (share via other app), or even better - remember which app i used last to share and offer it as default. In the past 4 years I have shared my ride not via whatsapp only once, and that was into facebook chat.

When I hit the park button, make it so that I can find my car later (with an arrow and distance) so I can find my car.
They make apps to do this and Waze almost has everything you need. It could be great if Waze suggested it after you stop moving for a period of time at your destination.

TTS language setting
TTS is currently forced to a single language based on the country you are in. If you travel to other country, waze will speak wrong words.
Just a setting to change it will be enough.23 votes -

Event notification pop-up.
Current event notification covers the majority of the center screen, obstructing view of where the event is specifically located. Adding transparency or moving to a ticker at the top or bottom of screen would be a great improvement.

Use special tiles for not downloaded areas
Let the waze client use a special tile for not downloaded areas. When on a slow connection you sometimes realise there's no road where you are, so you enable construction mode just to realise a minute later that the roads in the area just weren't finished downloading to your phone yet.

Ability to Report “Automated License Plate Reader” Cameras (ALPR Cameras/Flock Cameras)
I’m writing as a Waze user with a feature suggestion that I believe fits naturally with what has made Waze such a valuable navigation platform… giving drivers useful, community-sourced information about the roads they travel.
I would like to ask Waze to consider adding the ability for users to report fixed automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras, including systems commonly known as Flock cameras.
Waze already empowers its community to share information about police presence, red-light cameras, speed cameras, crashes, hazards, construction, and other conditions that may be relevant to drivers. As automated surveillance technology becomes increasingly common along public roadways, I believe drivers should similarly have the ability to know when they are passing infrastructure specifically designed to identify and record vehicle movements.
For me, this is ultimately an issue of transparency and informed choice.
Whatever someone’s personal opinion of ALPR technology may be, these systems can collect information about ordinary people simply as they travel through their communities. Many drivers may not recognize the cameras, understand what they do, or even realize that their vehicle information is being collected. A small, neutral icon within Waze identifying a known ALPR location would give users information without telling them what to think about it.
There is also an important distinction between providing transparency and facilitating wrongdoing. Waze already demonstrates that potentially sensitive roadway information can be presented responsibly. An ALPR reporting feature could be designed around fixed, publicly visible infrastructure and could simply inform users that an automated license plate reader has been reported at that location.
I believe such a feature would reinforce one of the principles that makes Waze unique: the road is experienced by a community, and members of that community should be able to help one another understand the environment through which they are traveling.
Technology will continue to change the relationship between public spaces, transportation, privacy, and surveillance. Navigation platforms have an opportunity to ensure that increased technological capability is accompanied by increased public awareness.
I hope Waze will seriously consider allowing the community to report ALPR cameras as part of its existing reporting ecosystem. Even if implementation requires careful consideration, I believe the conversation itself is worthwhile.
Thank you for taking the time to consider the suggestion and for continuing to build a navigation platform shaped by the people who actually use the roads.

Bring back the old speedometer position (bottom left corner)
With the latest update, the speedometer on the mobile app has moved from the bottom left corner to the center of the bottom edge of the screen. This new position is distracting and interferes with map visibility, especially when checking upcoming turns or traffic info.
The previous placement in the bottom left corner was much more intuitive and out of the way. Please consider giving users the option to choose the speedometer position, or revert it back to where it was.
