Please add the ability to search for closest poi to my current route.
If I am already driving using your app, I would like the ability to search for food, a bank, or a coffee shop not too far off my route. You guys already calculate the time off route but if you add my suggestion it would make your app that much better.

Stop auto refreshing and zooming back in when I am trying to zoom out and see all of the possible routes to my destination...
Stop auto refreshing and zooming back in when I am trying to zoom out and see all of the possible routes to my destination... Going from city to city there are different routes. I must zoom out to look at the path they take. ...but this app zooms back to my car location as soon as I zoom out. It makes picking the best route a blind guess instead of something better.

Select duration when reporting
When we report something (like in danger category) we should be able to specify the duration. Example, I have reported construction on the road and 1 hour later, it was not there anymore. This site will be in construction for the next month, I would I could set it to show for a while!!!

Push notification regarding traffic on your regular routes
I would like to receive push notifications at predefined times, for instance every morning at 8:00, regarding traffic on my usual route to work as I don't turn on waze for driving routes I know at regular times. Waze could notify me of an accident and display the name of the alternative route, that way I don't even have to open the app.

Plot recently driven roads
It would be great to have an option to mark roads recently driven by other wazers. This would increase the confidence that it's clear from traps, traffic jams etc.

Integrate with Google Latitude
Would you kindly consider integrating Google Latitude in a future iPhone version? I'd love to autoupdate my waze-less family on where I'm driving and it's a bit awkward having to run waze+glympse or waze+latitudie at the same time. If waze was able to update the Latitude position at least every few minutes or kilometers, it would help a lot. Many thanks in advance, and thanks for waze, it works pretty good although there aren't too many users here yet.
20 votesAt the moment this isn’t possible. Hopefully you will find the FB and Twitter integrations sufficient.

2-way road option when munching & mapping new roads
Most roads that I've ever driven on are 2-way roads, yet waze assumes that any new road recorded or cookie munched is on a 1-way road. I'd like a client option to default them to 2-way, since I know that there are areas where 1-way roads prevail. If I happen to munch a 1-way road while in 2-way mode, I can easily correct it in cartouche later, but I'd much rather correct 3-5% of the roads (or less) than 95-97%.

We need an automated text-to-speech (TTS) voice in Catalonia / Necessitem a Catalunya una veu de síntesi de text a veu (TTS)
Hi everyone. How many people speak Catalan?
Catalan is spoken in a very diverse linguistic territory. Within the Catalan-speaking regions of Spain, France, and Italy, it is spoken by more than 9.1 million people, of whom around 8.8 million live in Spain.Of these 9.1 million people, more speak it as a second language than as a native language: 4 million speak it as their mother tongue, while 5 million speak it as a second language.
Outside of Spain, there are approximately 131,000 speakers living in France, 30,000 in Andorra, and 40,000 in Alghero.
In Andorra, Catalan is the only official language, so wouldn't it be great if we could have our own language with an automated text-to-speech (TTS) voice?
Hola nois i noies. Quantes persones parlen català?
El català es parla a un territori lingüístic molt variat. Dins de les regions de parla catalana d'Espanya, França i Itàlia, en parlen més de 9,1 milions de persones, de les quals prop de 8,8 milions viuen a Espanya.D'aquests 9,1 milions de persones, són més les que el parlen com a segon idioma que com a idioma nadiu: 4 milions el parlen com a llengua materna, mentre que 5 milions el parlen com a segona llengua.
Fora d'Espanya hi ha aproximadament 131.000 parlants que viuen a França, 30.000 a Andorra i 40.000 a Alguer.
Al País d'Andorra el Català és l'únic idioma oficial i, per tant, no seria de bon grat que aconseguíssim tenir el nostre propi idioma amb una veu automatitzada de conversió de text a veu (TTS)?

Apple Carplay HUD Integration Idrive 7
I am writing to formally request the implementation of Head-Up Display (HUD) turn-by-turn navigation support for the Waze iOS app via Apple CarPlay.
I currently drive a 2019 BMW 320d (G20) running iDrive 7. While Apple Maps seamlessly pushes navigation data, street names, and directional arrows directly to my windshield's HUD, Waze remains completely incompatible with this safety feature on iOS.
I am aware that Apple's CarPlay framework has included the necessary APIs for secondary displays for quite some time, and I know that Waze via Android Auto already projects to the HUD on iDrive 7. Furthermore, while the recent version 5.4 update brought instrument cluster support to newer iDrive 8 vehicles, it entirely bypassed both HUD integration and widespread systems like iDrive 7.
Having navigation prompts on the HUD is a critical safety feature that keeps drivers' eyes on the road. Currently, I am forced to run Apple Maps for the HUD visuals while keeping Waze running in the background for hazard alerts.
Please escalate this to your iOS development and product management teams. The BMW community relies heavily on Waze, and closing this feature gap between Android Auto and Apple CarPlay would vastly improve the driving experience.

Provide an auto-reroute disable function.
Provide an auto-reroute disable function. I was going through Atlanta and routed off of I-75 HOV lane (75 mph) to surface streets, only to be routed back on to I-75 slow lane (10-15 mph). That cost me about 15 minutes trying to get back to the HOV lane.

Add an ICE icon for active incidents in real time
We need an option for when we see ice activities in public. Not only does all of this hold up traffic and put us behind behind of where we’re supposed to be, but we also need somebody to step up and be the heroes. Somebody with an infrastructure already in place that allows us to coordinate and work together. You’ve shown time and time again that you’re willing to step up and do what’s right, and now we need that more than ever. Please join us on the right side of history while there’s still a chance.

Other people have asked for a pause button. It's annoying and potentially dangerous to fiddle with the app while driving. One button would be helpful.

Would it be possible to create an option to hide the street name? At certain intersections, the purple sign hides the white arrow. Additionally, with Android Auto, the street name is already indicated. Sincerely. RR19 votes -
Switch between editor profiles on different servers (NA - ROW - IL)
For those of us who edit on more than one server, it would be really helpful if we could easily switch between servers on our editing profile. I edit in both NA and ROW. My editor profile shows the server for the last place I edit (except sometimes it takes a day or so of editing in the other environment for my profile to switch), which makes it difficult to find the last place I edited on the other server.
I can make a whole string of edits in Laos, make one edit in the US . . . and not be able to go back and see where I left off in Laos . . . or the other way around.
There used to be a script that allowed me to easily switch between servers, but that "broke" when "something" changed in the software, and does not seem to be "fixable."
This is really frustrating!

Add information/instructions on when to add a pass
My suggestion is for the following feature:
Either:
Add an information panel when users enter the Toll and HOV passes page for the first time, informing them that adding passes may route them into areas or through restricted roads.
Or:
Allow us to add information against each pass/permit, giving the user guidance as to what each pass is for.My suggestion solves this problem:
There is less chance that the user will select a pass/permit that they shouldn’t have due to the misunderstanding of how the pass system works.In more words:
Now that Passes/Permits that users have added to their accounts are being passed through to URs in the editor, it’s become obvious that users are adding passes that they shouldn’t be adding. This may be down to a misunderstanding of how the Pass system works. Do the users think they must add the pass to avoid such routes? Maybe.
Adding instructions to the Passes screen or information to each pass individually (preferred) on when to add the pass will give the user a better experience and not be routed where they shouldn’t be but also reduce the amount of URs being raised due to these unexpected routes.My suggestion is for the following feature:
