Sort out a way where people can NOT post fake pins. Over 300 fake pins posted in Western Australia this morning!!!!
People who register on Waze must be a verified account. Drivers are posting fake pins. Slowly this app will become useless. Over 300 FAKE pins posted today. Not fair for tow truck drivers wasting time due to silly competition.

Track my car's vitals; build database for community benefits
This is a big idea, no small undertaking I know. I'd like to combine my GPS app with the functionality of an app like Gas Cubby, which tracks my MPG at every fill-up and alerts me when my car is due for maintenance.
Here's how I envision it:
-I tell Waze what car I drive: ex: 2003 Saturn Vue, 6 cyl, automatic
-Every time I stop to fill up, I tell Was
a) What my current odometer reads (waze should know how many miles I've driven in theory, but this is a checksum validation in case I forgot to open…4 votes -
pre-select most commonly used updates into nav screen buttons
Have one main button on the navigation map screen that when pressed dynamically separates into 6 buttons (3 on the left [upper corner, midlevel, lower corner], 3 on the right). This would cut down on the clutter when an update is not needed.
Allow the user to customize these buttons to their most commonly used ones. For me, they would be car on the shoulder, heavy traffic, and hidden cop. If the update was on my side of the road, I would customize these to the right 3 buttons. If they were on the opposite side, I could customize these…

Pickup pasanger will display levels
When Waze alerts me to pickup new passenger on the way (Waze carpool) it will be awesome to see how much drives the wazer done before meeting me. What is his level? So I would have some sort of confidence when picking up a total stranger.

Amélioration navigation Waze
Bonjour , étant Ambulancier et utilisant Waze pour les transports et les missions samu, j'ai quelques propositions à vous faire. Premièrement , lors d'un trajet il arrive qu'on tombe dans un ralentissement ou un bouchon , est il possible de faire en sorte que Waze recalcule automatiquement le trajet pour les éviter , je sais qu'il le fait de temps en temps mais l'amélioration serait un plus .
Deuxièmement, au niveau du paramétrage de l'essence , est il possible de rajouter le sp95 ?
Troisièmement , est il possible de mettre en place un mode 3D de certains bâtiments…5 votes -
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…

Signalement de travaux
Lorsque l’on ne suit pas l’itinéraire suggéré, il serait pratique que waze, en détectant un changement d’itinéraire, suggère une liste de raisons à l’écran (bouchons en vue, travaux, autre) de sorte à signaler plus facilement les travaux. Sinon, lorsque l’on conduit, il est difficile de prendre le téléphone, aller dans le menu pour ajouter un signalement de travaux.

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!

Shut Down UserVoice
Yes, the title is clickbait. But that really is the end goal!
Let’s get straight to the point: UserVoice has done an excellent job of centralizing Waze community suggestions in a tool specifically designed for that purpose. However, after years of cumulative use, it has become clear that managing it has grown increasingly difficult.
And now, entering the scene: Discuss.
Discuss has opened up a whole new range of possibilities for community interaction. It is a technically modern platform, with a pleasant user experience and strong functional versatility.
There is no doubt that Discuss is capable of absorbing all…

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…

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.
Please fix I don’t even see where my car icon is sometimes cause it’s off the screen and doesn’t recenter correctly1 voteThanks for reaching out.

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.

Add a routing option that avoids the traffic lights as much as possible
I'd like to have an option that allows avoiding traffic light controlled intersection because here the city is implementing a sort of "red wave" so no matter what the traffic lights are red, but there are roads that allow avoiding such lights.
My suggestion is adding a routing that allows avoiding (poorly synchronized) traffic lights for as much as possible.

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.

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?

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🙏🏾
