Add way-point to route via map
Currently it is not possible to select a spot on the map and add it as way-point to the current route. This would be very useful to quickly modify the given route to personal preferences.

Pause sharing instead of canceling
I like being able to share my room with friends, but I found if I stop somewhere it cancels it. I shared a route with a friend the other day and stopped at a store and when they tried to follow me the request was denied – it was canceled. There must be some way to pause a route when someone is making a temporary stop.

More info in notification text (e.g. ETA, distance to destination, etc.)
A lot of time I have waze in the background and just listen for audio reports of hazards, etc. However, I also like to know my ETA. I think it would be useful to put the ETA, and perhaps other information, in the persistent Android notification. Right now it just says "waze ... return to waze" which isn't really useful. If the ETA were in the notification, I could check it without having to open the app, and then go back to whatever else I was looking at.

Hazard descriptions
I would like to see the hazard description when it pops up to alert me that one is coming soon. Currently, to see what kind of hazard it is, you have to find it on the road and click on the icon. Then you will know if it's a car on the side or something in the road, etc. The pop up alert should tell you what it is so you know what to expect.

Option to delete route
Please add an option to delete your route while keeping Waze running. Currently the only way to do this (Windows Mobile 2.0 version) is exit to Waze, restart it and quickly reply No to the resume question.

Vehicle profiles
User Story: Multiple Vehicle Profiles per Waze Account
User Story
As a Waze user who drives more than one vehicle
I want to create and manage multiple vehicle profiles under the same Waze account
So that navigation, alerts, and settings automatically match the vehicle I’m currently driving.
Problem / Motivation
Many drivers regularly use more than one vehicle (e.g., car and motorcycle, personal and work vehicle, taxi). Currently, Waze supports only a single set of vehicle-related settings per account, which requires users to manually change settings or accept inaccurate routing and alerts.
Proposed Feature
Waze should allow users to create multiple vehicle profiles within one account, each with its own settings.
Each vehicle profile may include:
- Vehicle name (e.g., Personal Car, Motorcycle, Work Taxi)
- Vehicle type (car, motorcycle, taxi, etc.)
- Fuel type (gasoline, diesel, electric, hybrid)
- Vehicle icon
- Toll / OHV / pass settings (e.g., toll passes, off-highway vehicle permissions)
- Other vehicle-specific routing preferences
Optional Smart Selection (Nice-to-Have)
Automatic vehicle selection based on:
- Bluetooth connection (e.g., car infotainment system, motorcycle headset)
- Previously used vehicle at the same location/time
- Manual quick switch from the navigation screen
Examples / Use Cases
- One car and one motorcycle
- One personal car and one work car
- One personal car and one taxi
- Three different personal cars with different fuel types and toll passes
Acceptance Criteria
- Users can add, edit, and delete multiple vehicle profiles
- Users can manually select the active vehicle before or during navigation
- Vehicle-specific settings are applied instantly when a profile is selected
- (Optional) Vehicle profile can auto-switch based on Bluetooth connection
- Default behavior remains unchanged for users with only one vehicle
Value to Users
- More accurate routing and toll calculations
- Less manual configuration when switching vehicles
- Better experience for multi-vehicle households, professional drivers, and riders

Option to Disable Auto-Rerouting After Route Is Set
Hello,
I’d like to suggest a feature that allows users to disable automatic rerouting after setting a route.
As a driver, it’s not always possible (or safe) to constantly check the device to notice when Waze changes the route and tap “No thanks” in time to stay on the original path.There are countries where you must follow a specific route due to legal or financial reasons — for example, vignette zones, road restrictions, or toll obligations. When Waze changes the route automatically, it can cause problems such as fines, invalid route logs, or entering roads not suitable for the vehicle.
It would be extremely useful to have a setting like:
“Lock this route — do not suggest or apply alternatives automatically.”Thank you in advance!

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.

Add charger speeds as a search option for EV Charging
As an EV driver I want to search for an EV charging station! When traveling I want to locate a FAST charger. This means it needs to be at least 50kW and ideally over 100kW.
If Waze can add this it’s a game changer and we don’t have to search desperately with our EV charging apps on our phone then come back to Waze to enter the address.16 votes -

Map icon indicator showing destination is on the left side or right side
When approaching your destination, there needs to be a Left side or Right side indicator icon on the map. I live in a city where there's a 3-4 lane one-way road and is frustrating when I'm approaching my destination and it doesn't tell me if it's going to be on the left side or right side. I don't use the map voice so that's not an option. Please do not tell me this feature exists when it doesn't.

Allow us to create customizable single press shortcut button for hazard reporting etc.
Too many steps to press while driving to report hazard etc can be dangerous. Why not allow users to create a customizable single press shortcut button for reporting car on shoulder or object on road instead of multiple steps of pressing buttons to get to the final issue. ie. not needing to press Hazard and then having to search the type of hazard in the small phone screen while driving. A single shortcut would be much easier. The most commonly used report for me is car on shoulder so why not just allow me to create that single shortcut.

Entry points depending on vehicle type
Entry points depending on type of vehicle can be a very nice feature. For example, if you're driving a private vehicle and you're going to a mall, your entry point should be the parking lot, but for an Uber the entry point should be the front door of the place.

HOV only ramps and roads
When Wazers select an HOV route, because of the way HOV was implemented, any direct access ramp or otherwise HOV only road will never be suggested.
Waze needs to be able to suggest all HOV options, including HOV only flyovers and ramps.

Copilot feature
I have a suggestion that I think would be excellent and differentiating from other applications. This is a functionality that could be called "Copilot", and that allows a device with a Waze account to establish a new destination to a different device. For example, I have Waze on my device while I'm driving, and my wife can set a new destination for me from her own device without having to touch mine, for that reason I thought the function could be called "Copilot".
This same functionality would also be very useful when navigating with CarPlay, so that I can continue focusing on driving while my co-driver is in charge of searching for and setting a new destination en route, such as an en route gas station, place to eat or visit, etc. And without me as the driver having to touch anything, a new destination or stop will automatically be established in my Waze.

Report police driving in the same direction 🚨
Today it's possible to report police driving in the opposite direction, but it would be good to also be able to report if they're driving in the same direction as yourself to be able to warn drivers ahead of you. Or maybe it should be all rescue vehicles, so people can give a clear lane for police, ambulances and fire trucks
