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 -

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.

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

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.
Even something as simple as:
“Copy Link”, “Share Suggestion”, or “Invite Others to Vote”
would make a big difference.A dedicated “Share This Suggestion” or “Share Your Vote” button on idea pages would make the Waze feedback community much more engaging and effective.

Report menu reorganization and favorites
It currently takes several taps to report things. Example: Report button-> Hazard -> Vehicle on the side of the road (-> submit report). My gut feeling is that is my most commonly used report, and I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case for others also.
Also with any report menu rearrangements/removals it becomes nearly impossible to find ones you use less frequently when you actually need them. Say "animals in the area" for example.
Being able to personalize the report menu order or set some as favorites would fix this problem.
I know voice reporting helps with some of this, but sometimes it's much easier or only feasible to tap rather than talk (ongoing conversation for example) and the user is sort of blind to what options the voice reporting will recognize.

Allow Traffic Events to include lane closures
When creating Major Traffic Events such as construction, sporting events, or races, we can close roads as part of the closure. The introduction of polygons showing impacted areas is fantastic, but it'd also be helpful if we could pre-populate lane closures. For example, often a single lane might be closed for runners and being able to include that in the MTE would be beneficial.

Color Coded Parking Icons
Color coded parking icons! Would be super interesting and helpful to take satellite imagery and user reports to code the "P" icon in green for lots of open spaces, yellow for minimal open spaces, and red for no open spaces. This would be easier for garages where users could specifically report it based on info screens.
