Uber+waze
Há um tempo atrás quando o app uber motorista enviava a rota para o Waze no Android auto, o app da Uber continuava em primeiro plano no celular, e é isso que eu prefiro, deveria ter uma opção para o motorista escolher qual app permanecer em primeiro plano no celular caso o app específico envie uma rota, pois hoje o Uber envia a rota e minimiza deixando a lista de rota Waze em primeiro plano no celular, o que eu não gosto, porque a rota já está aberto no Android auto.

Waze Truck Mode – A Reliable Navigation System for Professional Drivers
Waze is an amazing application, and in my opinion, one of the best navigation apps available. But what makes Waze different from other navigation applications is not only the navigation itself — it is the community behind it.
Waze is constantly improved by its users and map editors. When there is an error or an outdated piece of information on the map, it can be reported, corrected and updated by the community. This is one of the main reasons why Waze can be so reliable for passenger cars.
As a professional truck driver, however, I have noticed that there is currently no navigation application or GPS for heavy goods vehicles that can offer the same combination of reliability, real-time information and community-driven map updates.
The problem is that truck navigation systems can contain outdated or incorrect information. For example, a road may be incorrectly marked as prohibited for heavy goods vehicles when it is actually allowed — or the opposite. There can also be incorrect information about bridge or tunnel height restrictions. A GPS may indicate that a bridge has a 4.00 m clearance, only for the driver to arrive there and discover that the actual limit is 3.70 m.
For a passenger car, an incorrect route is usually just an inconvenience. For a 40-ton truck, it can become a serious problem.
A truck driver cannot simply make a U-turn, reverse for several hundred metres, or easily take a small alternative road. We need reliable information before reaching these situations.
What I would like to see in Waze
I would therefore like to renew the request for a dedicated Heavy Vehicle / Truck mode in Waze.
- A dedicated Heavy Vehicle profile
Similar to the existing motorcycle profile, Waze could introduce a Truck / Heavy Vehicle profile.
The driver could enter the characteristics of their vehicle, such as:
Maximum height
Maximum width
Vehicle length
Gross vehicle weight
Number of axles
Potentially ADR / hazardous materials informationWaze could then calculate routes according to these characteristics.
- More heavy-vehicle information for map editors
Waze map editors could also have additional tools specifically for heavy vehicles.
For example, editors could specify:
Heavy vehicle speed limits, in addition to the standard speed limit
Weight restrictions, such as roads prohibited above 3.5 t, 7.5 t, 12 t, etc.
Height restrictions
Width restrictions
Length restrictions
Bridge and tunnel clearance
Other restrictions specifically affecting heavy vehiclesThis information could then be used by Waze when calculating a truck route.
- The biggest advantage: the Waze community
The biggest reason I believe Waze could be exceptionally good for trucks is precisely because of its community.
If a bridge clearance is incorrect, a weight restriction has changed, a road has become prohibited for trucks, or a restriction has been removed, Waze editors could update the information.
This would combine something that currently does not really exist in one application:
professional truck navigation + Waze's community-driven map + real-time traffic information.
That could make Waze an extremely powerful tool for professional drivers.
I know that dedicated truck navigation systems already exist, but their biggest weakness is often the accuracy and speed at which road restrictions and other information are updated. Waze already has a huge community capable of identifying and correcting problems.
I am not asking Waze to simply add a "truck" button.
I am asking for a complete Heavy Vehicle navigation system built on the strengths that already make Waze one of the best navigation applications for cars.
For professional drivers, accurate information is not just a convenience. It can make the difference between a normal delivery and being stuck in front of a bridge, in a narrow street, or on a road where a 40-ton truck simply cannot turn around.
I sincerely hope Waze will consider giving professional drivers the same level of community-powered navigation that car drivers already enjoy.

Power Outage
Yesterday, ie Aug 13, 2026, I was traveling to Northwest Indiana. I had entered a gas station and water park as destinations. I was not aware of the power outages affecting large swaths of the area. Both the gas station and water park were closed. I nearly ran out of gas. Waze could have easily been tied into a power outage reporting website eg. Poweroutage.us and reported the danger when I entered the route.

Atualização Android 16
A atualização para Android 16 retirou a função de desligar o app e/ou cancelar a rota pelo botão/função "voltar". Agora eu preciso manualmente fechar a rota e depois entrar no menu e desligar o Waze. Antes era muito mais ágil

waze on android auto
Why Can't we see a step by step list on Waze with android auto.
its very important to do so, to know before where there is going to be a sharp turn, or a turn left and right away a right turn even before the GPS got to know that you made already that left turn so you then missed the right turn1 vote -

Option to save the reports
In the last two months, I make the same trip to the workplace at (nearly) the same time. Here comes my problem:
• at the same road (gps location), lot of times I report the same Pothole. But (as I understand the logic):
o If more users liked this report, it will be available longer, but (as I think) after more users drove on the same road and reacted “Not there” or ignored, the report will be deleted shortly. Of course, the road does not repair itself.
o this “Pothole” is not a round hole on just one of the lanes; I would call it a “negative speed bump” or “invers speed bump”. Not a “bump” on the road, it is a missing part from the road, same width with the road. Then if I reported both directions (I concluded), the system cannot handle as two different Report and merge those.
My suggestion (apart from fixing the errors) is that the user can be saved his/her reports, like a custom marker.In the last two months, I make the same trip to the workplace at (nearly) the same time. Here comes my problem:

adding the new express lanes on the 405 in CA from the 73 to the 605
I noticed when a user has toll roads on when driving in north orange county in southern CA, the new express lanes on the 405 freeway from the 73 to the 605 are not added in to the routes, unless you start driving in them, and then the route activates, the app would get better if the user could see the ETA difference of taking the express lanes vs. not taking them.

Motorcycle & Car Planned Journeys
Ability to plan both future CAR and MOTORCYCLE journeys at the same time. When planning a journey you should be able to select whether this is for a car or motorcycle. This should be via simple icon selection of vehicle type. That way the optimum car journey is planned and seperately the optimum motorcycle journey is planned. When driving it should be clear which vehicle type the app believes you are driving for that journey.

Bush Fire & Smoke Alert
During Trinidad and Tobago’s dry season, bush fires often create heavy smoke on highways and roads, causing drivers to slow down or stop suddenly. This can be dangerous for vehicles approaching from behind.
Please consider adding a “Bush Fire/Smoke Ahead” alert to Waze so drivers can receive advance warning, slow down safely, and avoid sudden braking or stopping.1 vote -
import GPX into waze
Bonjour,
Je suis utilisateur de Waze et motard.
Aujourd'hui, plusieurs applications telles que Liberty Rider, Kurviger ou Calimoto permettent d'importer et de suivre fidèlement un fichier GPX, mais elles ne disposent pas de la richesse des alertes communautaires et du trafic temps réel de Waze.
Je souhaiterais proposer un nouveau mode de navigation permettant :
l'import d'un fichier GPX ;
le suivi exact de la trace sans recalcul automatique ;
le maintien des alertes Waze (accidents, dangers, trafic, contrôles, etc.) ;
une option permettant d'activer ou non le recalcul en cas de sortie du parcours.Cette fonctionnalité serait particulièrement utile aux motards, aux voyageurs et aux utilisateurs préparant leurs itinéraires à l'avance.
Je suis convaincu qu'une telle fonctionnalité pourrait attirer plusieurs millions d'utilisateurs supplémentaires dans le monde, notamment parmi les communautés moto, road-trip, camping-car, cyclotourisme et voyage, qui utilisent aujourd'hui plusieurs applications en parallèle pour pallier cette absence.
Waze dispose déjà du meilleur système d'alertes communautaires du marché. L'ajout du suivi GPX en ferait une solution de navigation quasiment complète pour de nombreux usagers.
Merci pour votre attention et pour le travail réalisé sur l'application.
Bien cordialement,
Kevin Silien

[Suggestion] Historique de passage devant les radars fixes et rappel des limitations de vitesse
Bonjour à l'équipe Waze et à la communauté,
Je souhaite vous proposer une amélioration pour l'application, particulièrement utile lors des trajets du quotidien et pour lever certains doutes de conduite (notamment sur le réseau routier en Belgique où les radars fixes sont très nombreux).
Contexte et problème rencontré
Lorsque nous franchissons un radar fixe, l'application affiche la vitesse autorisée en temps réel, mais cette information disparaît dès que le radar est dépassé. Il arrive souvent que le conducteur ait un doute immédiatement après le passage : "À quelle vitesse suis-je passé exactement ?" ou "La limite était-elle à 30 km/h ou à 50 km/h ?". Ce manque de confirmation après coup peut générer un stress inutile.Fonctionnalité proposée :
Créer une rubrique « Historique des passages radars », accessible directement dans l'application depuis le menu principal (icône des trois barres horizontales en haut à gauche).
Cette fonction intégrerait les éléments suivants :
1. Relevé de la vitesse de passage : Enregistrer la vitesse à laquelle le véhicule est passé devant le radar (qu'elle soit inférieure ou supérieure à la limite autorisée).
2. Confirmation explicite de la limitation du radar : Afficher clairement la vitesse maximale autorisée enregistrée par le radar à cet endroit précis.Exemple pratique : Si un conducteur passe à 40 km/h devant un radar fixe et craint d'avoir été flashé en pensant que la zone était limitée à 30 km/h, l'historique lui indique clairement : Passage à 40 km/h — Limitation du radar : 50 km/h. Cela permet de rassurer immédiatement l'utilisateur.
Bénéfice pour la communautéSérénité au volant : Évite de chercher à vérifier la signalisation au dernier moment ou de s'inquiéter pendant le reste du trajet.
Consultation sécurisée : L'historique permet de vérifier ces informations à l'arrêt ou une fois le trajet terminé, sans chercher à manipuler le téléphone en roulant.
Merci pour votre écoute et pour le travail apporté au quotidien à l'application.

More directions
We need turn advisement more often. Currently I get a "turn left, etc" when Im already there and I miss the turn completely.
Also, please put the "shut down" option back when going to another page.
