tolls
I would like to be able to report toll booth locations and cost of the toll. Nothing to do with avoiding toll routes. Just reporting location and cost.

Pause sharing instead of canceling
I like being able to share my room with friends, but I found if I stop somewhere it cancels it. I shared a route with a friend the other day and stopped at a store and when they tried to follow me the request was denied – it was canceled. There must be some way to pause a route when someone is making a temporary stop.

More info in notification text (e.g. ETA, distance to destination, etc.)
A lot of time I have waze in the background and just listen for audio reports of hazards, etc. However, I also like to know my ETA. I think it would be useful to put the ETA, and perhaps other information, in the persistent Android notification. Right now it just says "waze ... return to waze" which isn't really useful. If the ETA were in the notification, I could check it without having to open the app, and then go back to whatever else I was looking at.

Fuel efficiency
It would be a neat feature if you can enter in your odometer reading, and gas volume purchased, and every gas up you could bring up your miles/gal (or km/l). You can also tie in with gas prices to get a $/mile. You can also include a stat on the amount of CO2 released per mile.

Hazard descriptions
I would like to see the hazard description when it pops up to alert me that one is coming soon. Currently, to see what kind of hazard it is, you have to find it on the road and click on the icon. Then you will know if it's a car on the side or something in the road, etc. The pop up alert should tell you what it is so you know what to expect.

Option to delete route
Please add an option to delete your route while keeping Waze running. Currently the only way to do this (Windows Mobile 2.0 version) is exit to Waze, restart it and quickly reply No to the resume question.

User Report: option to share destination
Editors often receive User Reports (URs) categorized as “map issue” that actually refer to problems with the route suggested by Waze to the destination.
However, editors currently have no way of knowing which destination the user entered in the app, which makes it difficult - and sometimes impossible - to properly analyze the reported issue.
I fully understand the privacy concerns involved. Still, I suggest offering users, on an optional basis, the ability to share their destination when submitting a UR, especially in cases related to “incorrect address” or “incorrect instructions.”
This would allow editors to investigate issues much more accurately and significantly increase resolution rates, without compromising user privacy, since sharing the destination would always be voluntary and contextual.

User Report: opção para compartilhar o destino
Com frequência, editores recebem User Reports (URs) classificados como “erro no mapa” que, na prática, se referem a problemas na rota sugerida pelo Waze até o destino final. No entanto, atualmente o editor não tem como saber qual destino o usuário inseriu no aplicativo, o que dificulta - ou até inviabiliza - a análise correta do problema reportado.
Compreendo plenamente as preocupações relacionadas à privacidade do usuário. Ainda assim, sugiro que seja oferecida ao usuário, de forma opcional, a possibilidade de compartilhar o ponto de destino ao abrir o UR, especialmente nos casos em que o problema esteja relacionado a “endereço incorreto” ou “instruções incorretas”.
Essa opção permitiria uma análise muito mais precisa por parte dos editores, aumentando significativamente a taxa de resolução dos problemas reportados, sem comprometer a privacidade, já que o compartilhamento seria sempre voluntário e contextual.

Ev functions
When turning in EV functionalities, why do i still have to select gas types and preferred gas?
Why cant I add for example the charging card, which would mean I only see charging stations, where I can pay?

Increase font in navigation screens
Small fonts on Android. It was better few version back. Increase font in Android doesn't help. Ask your devs to respect accessibility for major actions like voice alerts, Home/work recommendations , recent drives, etc.

Add missing public EV charger networks (here for Belgium)
For Belgium, I noted a few major players of EV charging stations are missing in the EV charger list. Like Sparki, Optimile, Electra. Also smaller ones , like EnergyVision , novoeco , Porsche Connect , Road BV , Volvo Charging , ...
As this is a dynamic world (and I expect further consolidation etc), it would be great to link your database to a reliable online source / catalog(s) of EV chargers / speed chargers.
And I indeed believe it makes sense to show them per country, it would be great if I could select the relevant networks of other countries where I travel frequently.For Belgium, I noted a few major players of EV charging stations are missing in the EV charger list.

Show if a result search is Waze place or Google Maps place
Show if a result search is Waze place or Google Maps place. Sometimes we search a place and shows first the google maps result and in the end of the list the Waze place result. Maybe a G and the Waze symbol instead the pin on results list would be better to know what is what.

Waze is a good app, but as a truck driver, it does not offer the option for commercial vehicles to avoid low bridges or parkways. If this feature was added, it would make the app more useful for everyone. I would like to see this capability added and updated in Waze.

Battery Saver always on
Option to have battery saver always-on by default. It's a poor user experience to have to set this manually for EVERY journey for those that want to have the battery as high as practitable before exiting the car and/or save their OLED screens from burning. Not everyone uses a charger in the car. And most phones use OLED screens.
'Automatically turn on' is there as an option, but it waits for battery to become low before kicking in, which rather defeats the object of saving battery (it's too late if it's already become low!) and meanwile you risk burning the screen too...
I think this idea was rejected earlier, but that was two years ago and the issue persists.

Max speed!
For me, there's only one simple addition that would make Waze the perfect GPS. The ability to enter the max allowed speed for the vehicle. For truck-drivers, caravan-drivers e.g. you're not allowed to reach the max speed on motorways e.g., so you'll manually have to calculate the additional time to your destination. TomTomGO has this. Make it happen! :)
