Adding Social Distancing reminder notification
During this pandemic, I think it would be a really good move for Waze to add some sort of notification reminding users of the social distance recommendations such as wearing a mask, standing 6ft apart, and washing hands. I imagine this would look similar to the notification that pops up when the app is being used while the vehicle is in motion, reminding the driver about safe driving, except this notification should pop up right after the driver presses go. As Waze is used by many, I think this is a great way to take action and do your part…

New update doesn't work in android auto
Let us know how to fall back on the old version until you sort out the bugs. In Mazda 6 the selection knob doesn't seem to interact with Waze. If you finally managed to add tge new destination it only shows the destination itself on the map rather than the routing (although the pop-ups correspond to the routing). If you add tge destination before connecting sometimes it works however it is impossible to cancel the pop-up messages. Often just freezes up. Please let us know when will this be fixed and in the meantime let us know how to fall…

"Along the Way"
It'd be great to have some sort of functionality to where if I'm going from point A to point B, but I want to stop "along the way" at, say, a Taco Bell, you could search for these interim destinations, see how many there are, and which ones are more out of the way than others. Oftentimes, if you search now, it stops your route and maybe even sends you backwards. If I could know that if I wait 20 more miles, there's a Taco Bell 0.2 miles out of the way, I might rather do this than turning around…

Danger zone entry and exit icons with Android Auto in France
Hello,
Would it be possible to improve the announcement of danger zones for France (because in our country, announcing the precise location of speed cameras is prohibited!)?
The ideal would be to have an icon when you enter and another icon when you leave a danger zone in addition to the voice announcement and the small frame at the top left.
If we could also have on the road, a color associated with danger zones as in the style of traffic announcements, to best indicate the duration of the zone.Other applications like Tomtom do so why not Waze!

Reporting Incentive or offer to earn currency to your royal wazers
It would be great if there was incentive to report or offered an opportunity to earn some sort of currency for being an awesome reporter. My account says im waze royalty but im not really feeling the royalties. While I love the idea of helping my fellow man it would be great to be rewarded for my efforts.

Special preferences for Waze Volunteer Editors
I suggest special preferences for Waze Volunteer Editors for both recognition of Volunteer Editors and also benefit to Waze. Sort of like Mood characters for Editors as a reward. But in this case it would be for the benefit of Waze operations and easier reports.
- Make it possible to place "Report Map Problem" first in the list since we are constantly scanning for map improvements.
- Make it possible to preload the Report contents with Editor information. Example, I like to prefix my notes with [Note: Sr-Navi-Gator report] and then follow with what ever I am reporting. This way other editors…

App issue iPad Pro 12.9
The app doesn’t center the map when I use any sort of split screen on my iPad Pro 12.9. Even when it’s full screen it tends to push everything to the right with any view.

When Searching for "FUEL", add [Nearest] or [Along Route] selector/modifier.
Not only is this needed, but it also needs good UX to make what's happening clear.
In the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of situations, I want the CLOSEST gas station AHEAD (or on my current) route. It could be something as easy as a modal popup that says [BUTTON] in brackets:
[Shortest Distance] or [Nearest Ahead]
Where [Shortest] = "oh my .... I'm on fumes and need fuel NOW"
And
[Nearest Ahead] just does a quick check of your current route, a little balancing to find the shortest route with a 10-minute "lookahead" and presents the user with a list that INCLUDES:…

Automatic start route -> Add more options (home, other wazers work, then home...)
If I go everyday to centre for other wazer and together we go home, lets have another option then Automatic go home first.
Go Centre -> Go in 5, 4
Go Home -> GO instead
Go Another saved place -> GObasic algorytm involved: sort by number of times visited. Option to turn off.
Bonus: Multiple choice - if I can check like 4 od five saved places by one click.

Calendar and contacts
Whenever I want to sync my iPhone contacts, and calendar app at the same time, my waze will either take long to load or won’t load at all.
Now I have to keep my contacts synced in and leave the calendar app out our it will crashNeeds sorting asap, bored of seeing the ‘connect your calendar message’
Maybe it’s because I have the iPhone 16 pro max and no one else is having this problem with an older model, because this didn’t happen on my iPhone 11pro
Sort this asap please🙏🏾

Is exit-cutting intentional?
Last night Waze recommended that I exit the I-66 freeway in northern VA and re-enter on the other side of the interchange - essentially using the exit/entry ramp as a shortcut to cut in front of other drivers who remained on the main highway. This sort of selfish behavior by drivers makes overall traffic worse - is this really an an intentional feature? If so, would you consider changing it?

Improve rendering of Livemap
The live map has some rendering issues that make it less attractive.
The first issue is with the dotted lines that appear down the middle of MH and FW segments when the map is zoomed in, as well as the lines of PS segments. These lines display over other map features when they shouldn't, such as when the road is an underpass or it is intersecting with a higher-priority road. (It shouldn't be difficult to change the rendering order of these features.)The second issue is with the way corners on segments are smoothed. 90-degree corners in the middle of…

More Route options and prevent closing mid-ride
Hi there, I have a suggestion. Kindly add more route options, this is especially important in congested cities like Nairobi. It will frequently save time to go around than to to go thru the CBD. Addtionally, using your app on my motorcycle, I had severe issues with the app closing mid-ride resulting in complete confusion where to go. Please sort these out. The app has a lot of potential but is unusable because of this

Current speed yellow when approaching turn too fast
App displays speed colour to yellow on turns.
In Australia we have advice sign posts "yellow triangle" that suggest
a comfortable speed for a corner (on corners that are closer to hair-pin than straight).The route navigation current speed would show white (normal), yellow (over suggested speed) or Red (over legal speed limit)
Some possibilities:
- Waze servers auto assign "suggested speed" value based an approximation of centripetal force that considered angle between two segment "points" and ignores slope.
- Waze editor allows a road to have an assigned "suggested speed" based on road signage suggestions (which take into consideration…5 votes -
Community-generated driving route recommendations
Is it possible for Waze (though, this definitely needs approval and careful study) to include a feature for the drivers to suggest or make possible route recommendations? Anyway, Waze is community-generated. Google search results are often inaccurate, based on the reports that we have been receiving.
As the driver, always (or often or most of the time) know the possible route or driving direction. And possibly with this, other wazers will be able to contribute to the route. A wazer may suggest a possible route for others to follow.
I just thought of having some sort of 'crowd sourcing' in…

When crossing borders the fuel type should update to the localized equivalent of that fuel type.
Waze has different fuel types in different countries. Right now when crossing a border it resets to the default value, usually E10/95 For instance when crossing borders between the Netherlands when fuel type is set to Diesel, it will change to euro95 when crossing the border. When I then search for a gas station it will show me stations with that fuel type.
There should be some sort of conversion table with fuel types from country to country.

Feature Request Feedback
Many of the feature requests have many votes, or multiple postings for the same feature requests. It appears that people really do want some things very much. However, the feature request for some items seems to be un-monitored.
There are a number of issues, which would normally be easily resolved with some minor programming tweaks that never seem to be addressed, either in the responses, or the program revisions.
Example: Favorites sorting - the same general feature request has been posted multiple times with post dates going back to 2010.
It would be helpful to have some feedback to…3 votes
