Allow users to Plan a Drive 1 or more months ahead of time.
PLAN-a-DRIVE: The Plan-a-Drive function on the WAZE app currently limits users to planning a drive only one-week in advance. We can not Plan-a-Drive for next month or next summer.
It would be helpful if we could Plan-a-Drive more than one-week in advance ... OR ... if we could simply Plan-a-Drive and save it for use at some point in the furture.
Thank you.

Add notes to each leg of a journey (drive)
When I arrive at my destination, Waze prompts me to add additional data to the drive. e.g. a category of "Business" or "Personal", comments such as "Meeting with Joe Bloggs". By combining with https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=819&t=223951&start=0 Waze becomes a great journey logger for expense claims

Friends side panel is irritating
Friends side panel is irritating. I never use it and it gets in a way when I try manually zoom in: It's is super annoying when friends panel opens up when I try to scroll the map to get an I better idea where I will need to go while waiting on a red light with phone in a holder attached to a windshield.
It would be awesome if I could disable this friend panel at all!1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Plan a drive feature doesn’t save
The “plan a drive” feature doesn’t ever save on my phone. Like it will save but if I close the app, it forgets about the drive. Even if I keep the app open in the background but don’t go in the app for a few hours it deletes all my planned drives. So for all intents and purposes the feature doesn’t work. I would love to use it if that can be fixed in the future.

Screen slide to reveal friends list feels very "trigger happy"
Have noticed it quite difficult to pan and zoom the live map without activating the "Friends" sliding drawer from the right side of the screen.

Resume drive notification
A toggle to send silent notification.
Resume drive notification option when waze was stopped without exiting navigation.This could be a nice option to me and for everyone that eccidentaly closes the app by clearing apps. And also when you are driving and waze is stopped by system.
For me the app closes automatically on my mate 20 Pro while I'm navigating with sound direction via headphones. And I am not even aware when it happens. With this option I would be able to change the notification sound for that and know waze has closed and resume with one click.

Share drive is messed up for a while
In the past(not very long ago) I could actually view the shared drive in almost real time. Now everytime I click on a shared drive link, if it opens in a browser I can see a preview of the drive with where the driver actually is but if I open the app there is just this green line that represents the whole journey. This is not helpful at all and very poorly made.

Option to share your drive
It would be awesome to be able to share my drive and MUSIC with those I've decided to share my ride with. Just like TWITCH or Facebook live. So that when people you're going to pick up can chat with you live and hear whatever track youve got going. Adding something like twitch, fb live or periscope functionality would make waze The Ultimate social GPS!

Show favorites on map
In other gps devices, your favorites show up on the map. For example if you have a friends house saved and you drive by you'll be able to see it on the map. So I think it would be nice to have your favorites show on the map all the time or at least have an option to turn on a feature like this.

drive scheduling
The only problem with the new "drive scheduling several days in advance" feature is that the display takes so long to refresh after the day is entered and before the hour is entered that I originally thought the program got hung!! I discovered that I have to leave it alone for about a minute, and it will process the command and continue eventually. SO MY SUGGESTION is either to shorten the processing time, OR to display a status message every 10 seconds, so the user knows that the app is still processing and has not hung up.

Customized pre-departure planned drive times
I’d like a setting option to be able to customize the amount of time (in minutes) before my planned drive alerts me to leave for my destination. Typically I like to arrive at least 15 minutes to my destination before my scheduled meeting time, to allow for extra preparation time or traffic considerations.

"Easy drive" mode
define the navigation logic so that it will skip narrow streets, traffic lights, stop signes, any road when the average speed is under 40 km/h etc. Allow for a 20% longer ride, but get me home fresh and not drained...
7 votes“Avoid difficult intersections” option is available in Navigation settings. Should ease your driving experience to some extent.

Eco-drive helper
For eco-drive enthusiasts, you could create a function that shows upcoming speed limits with an adjustable distance. For example, I would like to be informed about speed limits approximately 400 meters in advance, so I can deactivate the cruise control and let the car coast to the correct speed for the upcoming limit. For EVs, this would simultaneously involve regenerative braking, saving me fuel and brake pads. The environment would be cleaner, etc. Adaptive notification would be an advanced solution. It would use the g-sensor to understand my inertia and the speed difference from upcoming speed limits.
