Abuse of Waze reports in Ukraine during wartime
Hello Waze Team,
I am writing regarding a growing misuse of Waze reporting features in Ukraine during wartime.
A significant number of users are currently using police/hazard reports and coded markers to identify and share locations of mobile mobilization checkpoints and territorial recruitment patrols. In practice, Waze is being used not for traffic safety, but as a tool to coordinate avoidance of lawful wartime mobilization measures.
Many of these reports are intentionally disguised with slang or coded wording in order to bypass moderation while still being understood locally by users.
This creates several problems:
- abuse of the reporting system;
- degradation of map reliability;
- use of a navigation platform for purposes unrelated to traffic safety;
- facilitation of organized avoidance behavior during an active war situation.I understand Waze traditionally allows community-generated police and road reports. However, the situation in Ukraine is unique and directly connected to wartime national security realities.
I would strongly encourage Waze to review:
- moderation policies for Ukraine;
- repeated misuse patterns connected to coded checkpoint reports;
- mechanisms limiting coordinated abuse of the reporting system in this context.Even partial mitigation or additional moderation review for these types of reports could significantly reduce abuse.
Thank you for your attention to this issue.

In South Africa - so many potholes, would appreciate it moved to the map screen so we could just tap on it to report!
Hi Waze Team,
Firstly, thank you for a genuinely fantastic app — Waze is easily one of the most useful driving tools out there, and the community reporting system works incredibly well overall.
One small usability suggestion: the current “Hazards” button feels a little ambiguous, especially when trying to quickly report something common like potholes while driving. In practice, it can add an extra step to find the option you actually need.
It would be much more user-friendly if the specific report categories were surfaced one level sooner, with the least-used options placed lower down in the list. This would make common reports much quicker and safer to submit while on the road.
Many thanks for considering the feedback.

Add station Rede Marcela to gas stations
Hello, Waze team!
I’d like to suggest adding the Marcela gas station network to the “favorite gas stations” section in the app. In my region, many people use Marcela stations because of their convenient locations, good service, and practicality, so it would be very useful to easily select them inside Waze.
This would help users quickly find Marcela stations during trips and daily commutes, while also improving the overall navigation and fueling experience.
Thanks for the great work on the app — Waze makes drivers’ lives easier every day 😄1 vote -
Adicionar posto Rede Marcela ao postos de gasolina
Olá, equipe do Waze!
Queria sugerir a inclusão da rede de postos Marcela na seção de “postos preferidos” do aplicativo. Aqui na região, muita gente abastece na rede por conta da localização, atendimento e praticidade, então seria muito útil poder selecionar os postos Marcela com mais facilidade dentro do app.
Isso ajudaria usuários a encontrar unidades rapidamente durante viagens e no dia a dia, além de melhorar a experiência de navegação e abastecimento.
Valeu pelo excelente trabalho no aplicativo — o Waze já salva motoristas todo santo dia 😄1 vote -

אני מציע שתהיה אפשרות לבחור באיזה צד לשים את הכפתורים כי באוטו המסך גדול וקשה להגיע
אני מציע שתהיה אפשרות להזיז את הכפתורים לצד שמאל כיוון שכיום במכוניות יש מסכים גדולים ואין אפשרות להגיע לצד הימני של המסך.

Speed camera
Please revert back to the old speed camera indicator. The red was really easy to see in your peripheral vision. The new one is always white and it’s so hard to see. It’s an awful update.

2026 BZ/Solterra Stop Route Issue
There is an issue when using Waze with Android Auto in a 2026 Toyota BZ or 2026 Subaru Solterra. The X to stop an active your doesn't respond. All other areas and buttons on the screen respond. I have to use voice command to cancel the route. The physical screen area works when the X to cancel the route isn't there, i.e. select saved destination still in Waze. The X to stop your doesn't work in full, 2/3, or when 1/3 of the screen.

Add Top-Down Turn Preview to Waze
It would be really useful if Waze had an option similar to Google Maps, where the map automatically switches to a top-down overview when approaching a turn or complex intersection. It makes the route much easier to understand and improves overall visibility while driving.
This feature added a lot to my driving experience when using Google Maps, especially in unfamiliar areas. I still prefer using Waze and don’t want to switch apps, so having a similar view option in Waze would be amazing.

“Reverse Trip” Option
I think it would be a great feature if Waze added a “Reverse Trip” button after completing a drive. Instead of generating a new route back based on Waze’s current suggestions, this feature would guide you back using the exact same route you originally took.
There are times when I discover an easier or preferred route during a drive and would rather return the same way instead of taking a different suggested route. This could be especially useful for short trips where you quickly return to your original starting point.

Critical next turn alert
The Problem
Many users disable or tune out standard turn-by-turn voice navigation because it can feel repetitive or intrusive during routine parts of a drive. However, missing a specific "critical" exit - especially on highways or in rural areas - can lead to massive detours, often adding 10–20 minutes to a trip.
The Solution: Critical Turn Alerts
A smart notification system that triggers only when missing the upcoming turn would result in a significant delay. This allows users to enjoy a quieter drive while ensuring they are alerted before a "point of no return."
Key Components
• Time-Loss Threshold: Users can set a personal "delay tolerance" in the settings (e.g., 5, 10, or 15 minutes).
• Dynamic Notification: The app calculates the "penalty" of missing the turn in real-time. If the alternative route exceeds the user's threshold, Waze triggers a high-priority audio and visual alert.
• Smart Overrides: Even if the voice navigation is muted, the Critical Alert can be programmed to "break through" the silence or lower the volume of music to ensure the driver is aware.
Example Scenario
• User Setting: 10-minute threshold.
• Scenario A: Missing a turn in a city grid adds only 2 minutes. Result: No special alert (remains quiet).
• Scenario B: Missing a highway exit results in a 12-minute U-turn.
Result: Waze announces: "Critical turn ahead! Missing this exit will add 12 minutes to your trip."
Why Users Will Love It
1. Reduced Anxiety: Drivers can stay focused on the road or their podcast without constantly checking the map.
2. Customization: It puts the driver in control of what constitutes a "big deal."
3. Efficiency: Prevents the frustration of long, unnecessary detours caused by simple human error.The Problem

שיפור תזמון ההתראה הסופית לפני פנייה.
כיום, ההתראה האחרונה ("פנה ימינה") מגיעה לעיתים שניה או שתיים בלבד לפני הצומת. במהירות עירונית או בכבישים עמוסים, זה לא משאיר מספיק זמן לתגובה בטוחה. אני מציע להקדים את התזמון של ההתראה האחרונה ב-3 עד 5 שניות נוספות, כדי לאפשר לנהג להתכונן לביצוע הפנייה ברוגע ובטיחות.

Add a “Share Suggestion” Button for Easier Voting
A dedicated “Share This Suggestion” or “Share Your Vote” button on idea pages would make the Waze feedback community much more engaging and effective.
At the moment, it’s quite difficult to share a suggestion with friends, family or other Waze users because the post links are not very obvious or easy to access from the search/results page.
A simple share button could:
- Increase community engagement
- Help useful ideas gain visibility faster
- Encourage more voting and discussion
- Make it easier for users to support features they genuinely want
This would especially help popular suggestions gain traction naturally through social sharing, WhatsApp groups, Facebook, Reddit, etc.

“Copy Link”, “Share Suggestion”, or “Invite Others to Vote”

Custom route
Hello Waze team,
I would love to see an improved custom route planning feature in Waze.
Right now Waze is excellent for traffic and live navigation, but it is difficult to plan scenic or motorcycle routes with multiple waypoints.
Suggested improvements:
* Ability to add many waypoints/stops in one route
* Circular / round-trip route planning
* Option to “lock” selected roads so Waze does not automatically reroute
* Scenic / curvy roads mode for leisure driving and motorcycles
* Easier drag-and-adjust route editing
Many motorcycle riders and weekend drivers would benefit from this.
Thank you!1 vote
