Select "From and To" plus "Stop Off" on the app/live web map
To have the opportunity to add a "From" address as opposed to where you currently are. Therefore put an address in where you want to start your trip and then add the destination, and to also add "Stop Off" during the trip and possibly multiple stops like some map alternatives use.

An option to tell Waze it's got me pointed in the wrong direction
When I'm trying to add a stop before I start driving and Waze has me pointed in the wrong direction, it'll suggest stops that are further off-route than it realizes because once I get started the route will be recalculated based on my actual direction of travel. If I could just tap the "me" icon and say "point me the other way!" that'd be tremendously helpful.

Make sources of 3.7.4.5 public so I can fix voice guidance stops working issue.
There is no version newer than 3.7.4.5 in the App store.
This version has annoying bug causing voice guidance to stop working.

Please make the sources of this version available on sourceforge or similar resource.

Picture type of hazard with different icons on navigation map
Change reported hazard icon on navigation map to actually picture the type of hazard instead of the general yellow exclamation triangle for everything.
If I report animals on the side.of.the road, I would expect to see the animal head icon on the map. Not a yellow hazard icon. It's far more informative and stops drivers from having to click into the hazard, taking their hands off the wheel, to see what it actually is.

CarPlay end navigation with voice command
I’d like to end my navigation early with a voice command. I’m surprised it’s not already available.
For example saying “hey siri and navigation” and it stops the navigation. Right now Waze gives an error “ Waze hasn't added support for that with Siri.“4 votes -
When searching a company along your route
when searching a company along your route, WAZE should show these findings along your route. There is yet an app to do this successfully. When your search just "gas" or "fast food" it does an amazing job but when you search "McDonald's" or "Carl's Jr" it only shows locations scattered around you not along your route. This could be very helpful for family trips to plan out stops or if in route to be able to quickly see if you need to stop right there or if there is a location worth waiting for maybe 10 miles down the freeway…

The audio, which supports the information on the screen, should ALWAYS communicate in miles, and NOT minutes, concerning the next turn.
Communicating in miles is always accurate. Communicating in minutes requires assumptions, e.g., driving speed and absence of stops. You should always eliminate assumptions when you have the option to do so.

Have client present auto-off if removed from charging
I sometimes make frequent stops during a trip, and it is an annoyance to have to start and stop the client so that it doesn't give false heavy traffic reports. If I am in the car, I always have the phone on a charger. if the client senses that the phone is no longer charging, have a pop-up box ask if the application should be turned off.

Stop navigation once you're "close enough" to the destination
Waze should have an option where it stops trying to re-route once you're close to the destination, especially when it is not possible to actually drive to the exact entry point for whatever reason.
Context:
I've got someone who has brought up routing issues to their destination a few times, and at least two or three local editors have made various changes. They now again have been saying that once they arrive, Waze wants them to exit the parking lot again, and make a huge detour just to return again to where they are already located.
I am convinced this…

Alert for fixed parking enforcement cameras when stopping
Please add an alert when a vehicle slows down and stops within a defined enforcement zone monitored by fixed parking cameras.
This would help drivers avoid unintentional parking violations, especially in areas with unclear signage or new residents/visitors.
Suggested options:
• Toggle on/off in alerts settings
• Alert only below X km/h and when vehicle remains stationary for Y seconds
• Show a “parking enforcement camera zone” banner3 votes -
Mark bus ticket checkers
There is no function to mark ticket checkers at bus stops. I’m a driver, I see them all the time and I like to tag them. This is a very useful feature for passengers, could be in the settings to be able to disable tagging for anyone who doesn’t need it.

Stop closing the app when I make a pit stop!
Why does this app close every time I stop for 5 minutes? I just drove from Delaware to Illinois yesterday. I stopped for gas three times and food twice. Waze closed every single time! They where all quick stops and my car was even running the entire time. This is an extremely annoying feature of this app. I usually don't even bother using Waze for day to day travel due to this very issue.
2 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Tracking stop signs and stop lights
In addition to "Difficult intersection" it would be very handy for two features:
1) Waze's map to record if there are stop signs (2, 4 way), and lights at an intersection. This would (hopefully) include separate turn signals; some intersections are VERY difficult to turn left at even with a light, for example.2) A setting for navigation (in the app) for "Avoid unguarded turns/intersections". This would then allow a driver to NOT have to turn left across 6 lanes of traffic, for example, as the app would know there was no light at that crossing (or even going directly…

More Preferred Stations
My list of preferred stations stops at the letter ‘E’. Is this by design or is there a “bug” in the app.

Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

Fix Bluetooth bug
IPhone 6 voice guidance stops connecting to car's Bluetooth and cannot be restored or connects and interrupts audio with silence. Until this is fixed, the app is pretty useless. Worked for a week or 2 before it stopped. Deleted and reinstalled and it worked for about 30 minutes before quitting again. Is BMW in case that matters.

- When I am driving to a destination in another time zone, please show the ETA of that time Zone. (2) When I driving along Interstate highways, and am looking for a Coffee or eating place along the Route, it is usually looking ahead. I don't want to drive back 20 miles to have a coffee. I am looking for a Coffee stop ahead. (3) Show rest stops as most other apps do. (4) Show Traffic Lights and gas stations
