Please stop routing onto bike routes
I live in an area of the country with a lot of bike routes. Those routes are established on the assumption that they are low in auto traffic, or least generally local-only traffic. That seems to prompt Waze to guide me onto them fairly frequently during heavy traffic times, but in doing so this violates that basic assumption of keeping them low traffic.
As someone who bikes and drives regularly, I'd rather not see those routes grow in auto traffic as Waze adoption increases. If possible, please stop routing auto traffic onto those routes so that they can remain safe…

turn off phone notifications while driving
I want to be able to turn off all phone related notifications while driving. I was in a new place looking for a turn when the phone rang switching off waze.
this would also improve Saturday.

Option to force re-sync of calendar
I have a planned drive generated from a calendar event, but that calendar event has changed time and Waze doesn't know that. Please add an option to force Waze to re-fetch the calendar events and update planned drives accordingly.

Ghost drive
Add a feature that enables one to compete with his/her previous day journey. Like a ghost drive that shows where u were yesterday compared to the current drive. This will provide one with real time information that will assist in decision making about the speed and other alternative routes

Ability to view step-by-step instructions during plan a drive
It would be great to have the ability to view step-by-step instructions for planned drives without waze activating or selecting go now. So many times I've tried to see step-by-step instructions to figure out which way I would prefer to go and I can't stop Waze from starting up and talking.

Calendar sync
Please make it harder to sync with my calendar. I have hit "sync calendar" by accident dozens of times. I don't need directions to my colleagues office or the conference room and I don't want to have to delete all of my "planned drives" after I turn the sync off.

Plan a drive..
As I drive in traffic every day and this can change my whole day. I need to have an easy access to plan a drive. The most important information is the time to leave.. Not the time that I will get there (I know it; I told you). I need notifications if it change by more than 5-10 min. And I need easy access to this information all the time. The current program tells me 10 min before leaving and do not give me trends on traffic..

Stop showing my home address to everyone in the car
There is a menu of previous drives that pops up when Android Auto (using Waze) starts up. Home is the first suggestion, and it shows my home address. I don't want anyone else in the car to know my home address. Please protect my privacy. Labeling it simply as HOME is sufficient. I know my own address.Thank you.

Option to "drive through" when using navigation
When Using navigation, sometimes I need to drive through particular point on map, I mean drive to destination VIA some point on map. When taping and holding on map, a popup menu shows up. It would be great to add there an option for the "Drive Through this location" or something like that. It would also give a chance to plan a more specific route if such custom "VIA points" could be added as much as needed.

Semi-permanent drive location sharing
Allow for multiple options when sharing drive location. Currently friends I want to share with keep getting "request cancelled". We are driving across the country and don't want to have to keep resending new links. I would like to have one I can use over and over with options to stop sharing or refresh to a new link when you want to change who has access or something the like. I think having time limits may be good too. Share my location via this link for 1, 2,...24, 48 hrs (as long as waze is open and sharing is on).

Make Waze available in Assistant Driving Mode
In Android 12 we no longer can use Android Auto from phone screen. The only option is to use assistant driving mode and Waze currently is not available in this mode.

Stop navigating to where you suggested instead of the address I'm explicitly choosing
This drives me crazy: That little countdown timer around the suggested destination keeps counting down even as I go and search or choose a favorite or planned drive or whatever. Often, even after I make my choice, the timer finishes and supersedes my choice. Sometimes it takes a while for me to notice that Waze is sending me to the wrong place!

Report dangerous driving
Would be super Helpful having an icon to report DANGEROUS DRIVING on Brazilian maps. Too many drivers do not drive safely and overpass de speed limit letting others drivers in danger.
Would be SUPER if Waze could add this service for thee good of all carefully drivers.
Thank you.7 votes -
Allow us to create multiple waypoints
I don't understand why Waze only lets us create a destination and (only) 1 waypoint. This makes a great app unusable for many drives. Worse, Waze keeps saying the idea is "Not currently planned".
This idea gets submitted over and over and over. It is clear Waze users WANT multiple waypoints. Come on Waze - time to step up!

Allow Waze to work on more than 1 device at a time
The update at the end of Sept made it so that Waze can now only be used on 1device at a time. This has been problematic on long drives when cell coverage is spotty. I previously would use both my iPhone (Verizon) & my iPad (AT&T) on long drives so I could always connect & get info & also be able to post info.
Now that I can only use 1device, I had super spotty coverage driving thru upstate NY & I couldn’t post a major crash that I saw as I realized when I tried to post it that…3 votes -
Ratchet & Clank
Would be awesome to see these amazing duo as a voice option! Would bring back so much nostalgia and would just be amazing to have them directing my long drives.

Add Multi-Stop Route Planning Suggestion
Please add support for multiple stops when planning drives on both the Waze Web Live Map and the mobile app. Many users need routes like A → B → C, and currently this isn’t possible. Multi-stop planning would save time, reduce manual input, and make Waze more practical for everyday use.
Thank you.
