  1. Use another source for the maps (other than google maps)

    I see that for some,the fun in waze is making and editing the map, thats cool. but in the area im in, there arent many users of waze, and there are a lot of streets. and there have been times (infact every time so far) where i have set a destination, only for it to not be found.

    Some apps (mapquest) use openstreetmap maps (http://openstreetmaps.org). Do their terms of service fit better with waze terms of service?

    as i understand it, that is why google maps arent used as a base.

  2. Add traffic like icons to your maps like Google Maps.

    Google Maps has traffic light icons on their maps which is very useful when deciding what intersection to use, especially when making a left hand turn in heavy traffic areas. I don't understand why this feature is not offered since Waze is under the Google umbrella.

  3. Enable Google Assistant in other Spanish speaking countries

    At now, the use of Google Assistant with Waze, is only available in Spain and Mexico. Please, enable the use of it in other Spanish speaking countries, like how it happens with Google Maps. Thanks

    Cheers.

  4. Google maos and waze on the same page

    My boyfriend insists on using google maos instead of waze and I know waze is owned by google so then why does waze properly show people how to get to my work at Pentair in Apopka fl but when uber drivers and friends and him use google maps it tell them to turn down the street before my work which doesn't connect and is residential? It drives me nuts! Please fix.

  5. Itinéraire économe en énergie

    Il faudrait un type d'itinéraire équivalent à celui de Google Map "économe en carburant".
    Ce type d'itinéraire autorise les autoroutes à péage. Le but est de proposer la consommation d'énergie la plus faible. Pour cela, l'algorithme peut compenser un itinéraire plus long si la vitesse est plus constante ou si le dénivelé est plus faible.

  6. Fix Google Assistant Voice Reporting

    For a couple years now Voice Reporting, especially with Google Assistant, has been broken and not working properly.

    When you say "Hey Google, report _____" , it processes the command for a bit and then doesn't post the report on the map. Nothing happens.

    Clearing App Cache doesn't help.
    Redoing Voice Calibration doesn't help.
    Reinstalling the app doesn't help.
    Rebooting the phone or app doesn't help.

    A patch for this issue is extremely critical considering it makes the app unsafe to use. The whole point of a hands-off feature is to prevent distracted driving.

    This is a safety issue,…

  7. integrate into Android Auto?

    Good day guys. Just a quick one. Please can you guys have a look to integrate this awesome app into Android Auto? This is new technology that many car makers are starting to use and they only make use off Google maps. This app displays your mobile navigation on the vehicle's multimedia head unit. Waze is my navigation off choice and it would be a big plus for me and many others. Thank you. Regards. Izak (Dok69)

  10. Award points for stopping at or using advertisers.

    Maybe 10 to 20 points for buying gas or eating a burger at an advertisers location. Could be tied to a code you have to enter for the points which you get when you use the location. Might be a big plus for advertisers ie feedback on advertising dollars spent.

  12. Add the google map feature: swiping direction box shows next steps

    In google maps on Android Auto, swiping on the box showing the next turn shows the next step. If you keep swiping you scroll thru the steps. This feature needs to be added to Waze.

    Hi,

    I'd just like to offer some feedback I think would get a lot more people using the app from Google Maps.

    When using Google maps and you say "Navigate Home" or press navigate (mainly when in the Uber app, just as an example) it opens the Google Maps app, calculates the directions and then just goes. You don't have to take your eyes off the road to press go.
    When using Waze you have to wait for the app to open, calculate directions and then press go. (Why press go? If it's something I can't think of then maybe…

  17. Please fix eroneous code driving User Profile (edit) Birthdate field.

    Malfunction, bad code in edit birthday field. My birthday was changed by an unknown factor (stupid code?) I have the screen recording to prove it. Kindly write. I know there is no such thing as "stupid code," nor stupid programmers, but there is something stopped about it, and I don't mean "stopped," rather stoopid. Please see the irony. There is something wrong in some code somewhere. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Be human yes! Alan

  18. Navigation at par with Google Maps

    Speak Navigation at par with Google Maps. Waze requires far too much editing in a search bar and selecting or changing search engines. One easy to press button while driving and voice command option becomes available and choices that are within your area. I asked to navigate to Lowes Home Improvement and Waze found one in another state, Goole maps showed 4 within the city listing the closest first with addresses, telephone numbers (which had an option to press and it would automatically dial and connect) and a button to launch navigation or just directions. All on one row that…

  19. Google based domain fronting for Waze to fight internet censorship

    Hi

    As you might know Waze is being blocked in different countries including Iran.
    It would be great to implement domain fronting techniques for Waze client so people in countries with limited internet access could be able to use Waze without installing third party VPN software.
    Messenger App Signal has implemented such techniques and it has been successful so far.

  20. privilégier les routes sures

    j'ai utilisé votre application pendant un mois en Italie
    même si les trajets sont exacts les routes que vous nous faites emprunter sont pour le mois dangereuses et ne sont absolument pas recommandables
    cela vient du fait que votre application cherche la route la plus courte en temps mais non pas la route la plus sure même si elle nécessite le faire quelques km de plus
    j'ai fait l'expérience similaire avec google maps et c'est exactement les mêmes résultats tout aussi dangereux
