Please REMOVE the SPEEDOMETER and Show the posted SPEED LIMIT instead!

I usually type long long long posts, but the title of this speaks for itself. Just a couple more details below.....

Nokia had a GPS app called HERE Drive. It showed you what speed you were going and what the posted speed limit of the road was. Very handy.

The release of Windows 10 has caused the HERE Drive app to be deleted and replaced with Windows Maps. Some of it the same and some different, but everything good was taken away. Windows Maps is horrible, and many people are now looking to choose a new app for navigation.

Waze has a lot going for it. A big issue is that it doesn't have a satellite map overlay view. I'm sure that they are aware of that and working to fix it.

What other GPS apps don't have that they should is a display that shows what the posted speed limit of the road being traveled on is. When have you ever seen a speed limit sign when you needed one? How much time have you wasted going below the actual speed limit because you didn't want to get a ticket?

Waze already has a feature called "Speedometer". When you use Waze, if you have it on it shows you how fast you are moving. That is so stupid. Your car has a speedometer! You don't need the app to tell you your speed, and it isn't even accurate! Maybe joggers or bicyclists find it handy, but the reading of the Waze Speedometer is never the same as the Speedometer of my car. It is a pointless feature.

Instead Waze should fill the void that HERE Drive for Windows phones ones filled, and provide those searching for a new GPS provider the only feature besides satellite view that they lack. PLEASE Waze, remove the speedometer and replace it with a display that shows what the posted speed limit of the road being traveled is.

I have to point out that Waze already has a feature that warns you if you are traveling at a speed faster than the posted limit. You can already set it to alert you if you are traveling 3mph over or 15mph over. The Waze app ALREADY KNOWS what the posted speed limit of the road is! They just don't display it on the app!!!!! It would be such an easy update!!!! Help me let Waze know that we want this!

Improved reporting of wrong speed limits

When reporting a wrong speed limit, for suggestable speed limits the current speed fractionable by 5 above and below should be available as selection. Driving at proper speed that would easily allow to report the correct speed.

Constant alarm when you go over the speed limit with thresholds

Most speeding limit cameras are set to issue a ticket for going greater than 10mph over the limit. I'd like an alarm that goes off and continues to go off for as long as you are X mph over the speed limit AND where you can adjust X to whatever threshold limit you desire.
If the threshold in your state is 10mph over the limit, I would probably make the alarm to go off and stay beeping as long as I'm greater than 8 mph over the speed limit.

In other states such as VA and KY, a ticket can be issued for being as little as 5mph over the speed limit, so the threshold alarm value X described above could be adjusted to as little as 1 or 2 mph over the limit.

I think the alarm needs to be constant and stay on until you adjust your speed to below the threshold because it's easy to lose track of how fast you're going and to get >10mph over the limit without even realizing it. There are many zones in NYC that are 25mph and getting up to 35mph inadvertently is very easy.

More speed limit values

More options for reporting the speed limits. Currently only shows speeds ending in 5 (25 35 45 etc) but needs to display speeds ending in 0 as well (20 25 30 35 40 45 etc).

Variable Speed limit warning customization

If the speed limit is say 50 mph or less, than a warning of 15 mph (or whatever you want) would be appropriate, but if it's over 50 mph maybe give a warning at 20 mph over. Also allow us to choose exact warning like 13 mph over. Seems like a pretty simple addition.

In the Settings you’re able to choose when to warn you about going over speed limit – based on your suggestion you best choice would be to choose something like “Warn me at 15% above speed limit”
Time dependent Speed Limits

We really need the ability to add time dependent Speed Limits for school zones or other times of the day where the maximum speed limit changes, this would not only help with navigation slow downs (which most school zones wouldn't affect too much anyway) but would also increase safety for drivers and pedestrians in the area.

If we were able to set speed limits during specific times of the day it would mean a popup warning for a changed speed would mean users would be aware and slow down and hopefully prevent accidents from occurring in this speed sensitive zones.

Display the maximum speed for speed traps

It would be a great help to display the maximum speed allowed at speed traps. I don't know elsewhere, but in Brazil you have several fixed/stationary ones with a fixed maximum speed limit.

Speed cameras / radars notifications on iOS CarPlay only over speed limit.

Hi there,

I live in Dubai, where you can go up to 20km/h over the speed limit before the speed camera / radar actually jumps. There is a speed camera / radar each kilometer, so the amount of alerts you get on the CarPlay display is HUGE.

Also, I saw that you can configure Waze to inform about the speed limit on different speeds and level, like "+5km/h" or similar.

I would like to suggest the same regarding the speed camera / radar alerts, as I want to get informed but only when / if I go over a certain speed limit. Otherwise, I get an alert every second and I cannot see properly the screen or have to manually cancel them each time (or disable, so makes no sense).

The idea is to setup a speed limit margin or speed camera / radar margin, so if you drive over that speed, the alert will show.
Example:
- speed limit 110km/h
- speed camera / radar triggers at 131km/h (20 good, 20+1 photo)
- alerts on, "show in the map", "notify while driving" AND "notify if your speed will trigger".
- so, if I do 125km/h, only show in the map and everything good. If I go 131km/h, the app will notify and you can slow down.

What do you think?

Speed limit change in the Netherlands

Hey Guys, hope you are all well and healthy. Just letting you know that the law in the Netherlands has changed. During the hours 0600 and 1900 LT the speed limit on highways is 100km an hour. Out of those times the speedlimit is a maximum of 120.
Could you please adjust programming to reflect that change?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for contacting us about reporting an error on the map. Our community of volunteer map editors handle all changes to the Waze map.

To report a map issue in the Waze App

To report an issue on the Waze Live Map

To suggest an edit to the map-editing community

Note that it may take some time for them to review your request.
Average Speed / ANPR Camera Reporting

As well as normal Gatso type speed cameras, increasingly automatic number plate recognition / average speed cameras are used in the uk. Being able to report them & their speed limit, and having a notification that you're within the average limit would be priceless.

Great thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!
When you pop up a warning for a speed camera, don't cover the speed limit on screen

When the speed camera warning comes up, it stays there until you pass the speed camera. This is great, however the pop up banner also covers the speed limit, so you don't know how fast you should be going!
Be great if you can change the banner to show the limit or move the speed limit so it's not covered by the banner

Adding alert for vehicle going below the lowest speed limit

I really appreciate the effort you put in this application. Specially the limit for the route speed in UAE . You perfectly added the high limit for the speed.
My suggestion is to add the lower limit for the route which vehicles can't go below.
It's crucial because the fine for exceeding the speed is the exact same amount for going below the lowest speed.
I myself got fined for this gap on Mohamed bin Rashid street which is not allowed to drive below 120 KM/H . And I came to know after fine of 1200 derhams ( 400×3 , as the fine is calculated for every single radar you coming through) .
It will not take much effort from your side as they're a few list of streets which have lower limit on their lanes.
I hope you consider my suggestion, and you really our driving experience in UAE as an amazing enjoyable experience.
Thank you so much

Show speed limit ahead (e.g. 300 meters ahead) for economic driving

In order to allow economic driving one should be informed that a changing speed limit will come up long enough to be able to save fuel and save the environment. When there is a hint that you have to lower speed like 300 meters in advance you can just stop pushing gas, so car will just sail.

Speed limits ahead

How about an Info of speed limits ahead on cirrent road.
Why?
If you travel over Land, you are usually allowed to do 100kmh. At intersections, small villages etc. the speed Limit is usually reduced to 70kmh. If there could be some kind of Information with a speed Limit ahead, about 300 to 500m ahead you could just take you foot of the Gas an let the car roll to safe energy. I Do it regularly on known Routers, if traffic allows it (no one behind me how might be annoyed). With this Methode I m able to have 1 /10th of my whole distance without fuel consumption regularly.

Sectional speed measurement warning to add info on actual speed limit applicable

So at least in my country (Poland) we have these "sectional speed measurement" areas where instead of on point speed measurement, the average speed is measured along say 10km. The warning currently only warns about approaching the sectional speed measurement but it does not tell you or show the actual applicable speed limit which can be different on different roads and is not unified across the country.

Report « ride against traffic » on highway // signalement dédié "contre-sens" sur autoroutes

A report “ride against traffic” would be:
- More easily and faster to report, despite stress.
- The other wazers know immediately what kind of danger is reporting.
- Set off the report 1.5 km / 1 mi before the action take place.

-- français --

Pour avoir vécu récemment un contre-sens, c'est frustrant de ne pas pouvoir signaler aux autres wazers un danger de ce type, assez fréquent malgré ce qu'on peut croire (1 contre-sens / semaine en France sur autoroutes, sans compter ceux qui ne sont pas détectés).
Un wazer avait indiqué un "danger sur la route" avec comme commentaire contre-sens. Mais j'ai pu voir le signalement et lire le commentaire qu'une fois à l'arrêt sur l'autoroute, à 10 voitures d'un accident mortel, résultat du contre-sens...

Un signalement dédié "contre-sens" permettrait :
- au wazer qui croise le contre-sens de pouvoir faire le signalement hyper rapidement, même dans cette situation de stress,
- aux autres wazers d'être informés immédiatement de la nature du danger,
- d'étendre le signalement à 1,5 km du lieu où il a été vu.

expose intents
for all clients expose an API

for Android expose:

• intents
• broadcast intents
• application shortcuts

for the slightly savvier user this allows accelerated navigation by macro (Tasker, Llama, OmniDroid, et al)

API allows for similar macro- or automation apps on iOS (ipad, iPhone), windows mobile, other platforms surely

instead of

° load waze
° click or swipe to open navigate to UI
° search for address
° select match
° go
° pick route

the macro app could accomplish this in

ONE click

this is employing merely one of a panoply of time saving waze measures

add to wiki and label unsupported should that be waze druthers

exposing more granularity would

° empower users' judgment
° conditional logic
° offload server use
° displace more Google maps/nav "sheeple"

less savvy wazers (and waze) could benefit from the efforts of the more savvy

apply restrictions not for commercial use to kill market predatory-developers, those who spew poor code to fashion self serving malware or apps which exist primarily to render ads

the more non-commercial participants the

° better crowd value
° preferred word of mouth
° google hemorrhaging
° seize market from social gps (displace glympse et al)

add dead reckoning stir pot gently

XMPP is financially wise, utterly displacing sms as many find mobile bills for smart appliances becoming unjustifiably costly (as texting over sms is often half the bill).

° retain wazers despite economic uncertainty
° niche domination
° pair with SIP SIMPLE (additional texting option), SIP presence, and SIP for conferencing while traveling [in tandem]

Great thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.
Android Auto - Use Car Antenna

Right now, when connecting to Android Auto, Waze still uses the phone GPS antenna. In comparison, Google Maps pulls the location from the headset/car antenna, which is often placed optimally to maximize GPS signal strength from within the car.

Please set Waze to use the car's GPS antenna when connected via Android Auto

turn off photo request at destination

The "add photo" when you reach your destination is annoying, and unnecessary. Please give an option to disable.

Waze map on cluster screen (behind steering wheel) on Android Automotive cars

Electric vehicles powered by Android Automotive from brands like Renault, Volvo or Polestar have the Waze app ready.

However, the application only works in the main infotainment screen and does not replicate the maps in the cluster screen like Google Maps does.

This is a big miss in order to use Waze instead of Google Maps, since it is very practical to see the map behind the steering wheel.

We hope in a near future you can have access to cluster screen and replicate the Waze maps there.

Continuous display of ALTITUDE

It would be nice to see continuously the current altitude in Waze
Sería bueno ver continuamente la altitud actual en Waze.

זה יהיה נחמד לראות ברציפות את הגובה הנוכחי ב-Waze

Option to disable route recalculating alert. That nerve wracking chirp is driving me crazy!

Whoever approved that grating & obnoxious squawking route recalculation alarm should be fired. I drive a cab and even my customers cringe when they hear it and say "what's that awful noise". PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET US TURN IT OFF! Alerts only should mean alerts only. Hearing that damn noise screech and grate 5 times when I'm driving through a parking lot is maddening!

Tasker intergration

Tasker is a automation system for Android based on profiles that contains states and actions.

For instance when Tasker sees the bluetooth in my car it begins to reject most calls, reads texts aloud me, and sends a automated reply. Currently that reply just says I will get back to them when I reach my destination. Waze knows that destination and my ETA. I would like to send that in the automated texts. I would also like for Tasker to be able to tell Waze a destination. Using this info it would also be possible for Tasker to do events if the ETA changes due to traffic, like send a text to my wife telling her my new ETA for coming home from work.

You could also have a event passed to Tasker like "Arrived at destination" and then have actions based on that.

Taskers integration page is here...

Quick report buttons

It would be a good idea to place some (2??) customizable quick report buttons on the main Map/interface; in such way we can report speed traps/ dangers/ police while we are driving with a single touch (or double to exclude unintended reports)!
There are too many menu/options to make a report... the only way to put them live is to stop the car and going trough a jungle of options... ( :geek: and I'm used to that! I'm an android user)
Heavy traffic is fine... you're stuck in your car and you've all the time to browse the options but the other reports need to be quick and non-distracting!

Signalement

Bonjour,
Durant l’été j’ai souvent rencontré des personnes a pieds sur le bas côté des autoroutes ou routes rapides. Très dangereux, mais impossible à signaler. Dommage. Je pense que cela devrait être ajouté.

Thank you for your suggestion. We will add this voice request to our User Request wish-list.
Different scoreboards for editors, drivers and forum

It has been noticed before that the Waze-community is divided between editors and drivers; editors being the users that earn most of their points by editing, drivers are those that earn most of their points behind the steeringwheel.

Currently, the scoreboard seems to be dominated by drivers - the topnotch of these are probably truckers, spending their live on the road, driving maybe thousands km per week, making up to 20.000 pts. There is nothing wrong with that, we NEED drivers, and I do not want to suggest that they do not earn their points.

But for editors these are hard times... you can spend, concentrated, hours per day doing all your good work for the Waze-community and still find you are outsmarted by someone who is earning his points as a sideeffect of the job he is doing - not a chance to win there, ever, because the scoreboard only shows the total of points gained by driving AND editing.

It could be an incentive for editors if there were a league for editors - that is, a scoreboard for the points gained by editing. That would make it possible to compare your editingefforts with those of other editors, rather than guessing where other users points come from.

I guess it also works the other way around, if drivers had their own scoreboard, they could compare to drivers.

And, come to think of it, there are also some points that can be gained in maintaining the forum. We could have a third league for that, too.

And ofcourse the current league should not be changed - an overall scoreboard like we have it now could still be justified.

To make competition even more fair, there could exist different leagues for countries WITH and WITHOUT a basemap, as a basemap changes the rules of the game completely.

Multiple vehicles

A quick way to toggle settings between two or more vehicles. When I drive my truck I use the expressways, I use alerts only, and diesel is preferred. When I ride my motorcycle I don't use expressways, I turn on navigation since my phone stays in my pocket, and premium gas is preferred. A way to save particular settings when toggling between private and motorcycle would be appreciated.

Hey,

Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not right now, since we finalized our plans for 2023 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to have it included in our plans for later years and will keep you posted.
Thanks!
Automatic start Waze when connect to car bluetooth (and turn off when blutetooth is off)

Automatic on/ off waze when connect to paired bluetooh adapter.
This is best way to have waze on when is needed in car.
Leave the car - waze goes off.

have an alert when waze is directing you into a high crime area

have an audible alert or color code when waze is directing you into a high crime area. Often locals avoid those areas and they will therefore have less traffic. But not always a good idea to go into those areas especially at night.
