Include an option in 'reports' for school buses. If you get behind a school bus on a long county road making stops, it can be a long delay
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Add more than one stop
Being unable to add only one stop makes Waze secondary to Maps and renders it obsolete. The way it is designed makes it a fun app, not an applicable tool. I will be removing Waze from my Honda’s CarPlay and try to figure out how to use Maps. I find it essential to have ALL stops included in my trips; I don’t have the time during a “trip” to get out my phone to keep renavigating.

Add "day planner". This could be similar in functionality as "route planner", only with multiple stops.
Imagine having a day of errand running, maybe you need to input the order that you must visit each location, or maybe you don't care which place you visit next.
If you don't care, then it would be nice to have a feature where I add in my 4 stops that I have to make in a day, then late waze tell me which route is most efficient for time savings and/or distance/gas usage.
This feature could also alight with route planner in…

Adding Traffic signals to the map or giving the option to avoid signals or not
Will there ever be an update that gives you the option to avoid traffic signals or not or possibly show traffic signals on the map? Many times in order to save time. It routes me to a block with no traffic signal at forces me to make a left onto a busy intersection, which sometimes is very dangerous. I’d much rather wait at a traffic light which I end up having to do anyway, in order to make the left when the traffic stops.

Navigate until parking, don’t stop at reaching the destination.
Once the app declares reaching my destination it stops navigating to it, but if I didn’t find a parking spot and was forced to keep driving It gets complicated because I can’t tell if I’m still close to where I need to get, and I don’t know the way back to that location in case I’d like to circle around till I find a parking spot.

Please improve "Watch my drive...".
Please improve "Watch my drive...". It should stay on real-time & not disconnect. It doesn't follow real-time nor recover when stops. (Android 13, Galaxy S22 Ultra)

PITSTOP button
The screen needs a “PITSTOP” button for rest area, gas and food stops. The continual redirection as soon as you leave the programmed route is annoying and unnecessary. You could just hit PITSTOP as you leave the route and then press it again when you return to the chosen route. You could have a color coded button to make it easier to read.

Do not stop navigation when unplugging from Android Auto
When you unplug the phone from the car, Waze will stop the current navigation and forget the route.
This can happen for a variety of reasons such as making a pit stop, or even a flaky usb port.
If you need to continue the route, you need to re set the destination, and for this you need internet access. If you are in the middle of nowhere with no internet, you are screwed.
Google Maps doesn't forget the current navigation when the phone unplugs from the car. The navigation should be stopped only if the user stops it manually.

Connect drivers waze to a passengers waze
Let the passenger to edit the Waze route so that the driver can get it directly from the passengers phone. This will allow the driver to keep driving and having to worry about typing in new stops
on the phone while driving. If you need to find a gas station or somewhere to eat.This will make it a lot easier during longer driving sessions.

Waze should seamlessly go between offline and online when cell data weakens or stops navigating. It should be perfectly synchronized.
We should be completely seamless, allowing off-line and online to function without the user seeing any difference. This would allow 100% perfect navigation any time anywhere without having to worry about missing a turn being sent on a hiatus and keep you always going in the right direction.. this feature is absolutely necessary on long trips and places where there’s no cell reception so that you always have the route running and never have to worry about a pause because off-line mode has been initiated and you just continue on your way without seeing any difference in your screen this…

Stop routing traffic inappropriately
I am contacting everyone at Waze right now. Waze is causing problems.
Highway 17 from San Jose to Santa Cruz is notorious for its beach traffic. Waze directing traffic thought downtown Los Gatos and on to mountain side roads to avoid this.
STOP DOING THIS!
First of all this is causing horrendous gridlock in downtown Los Gatos. The town has put up signs telling Beach Traffic to stick to Highway 17. Drivers are ignoring this because Waze gives tells them they can cut thru Los Gatos. This is causing MASSIVE problems.
Second, DON'T direct people off Hwy 17 on to…

Big "stop Waze" button
Sometimes (often) you just want to stop and close Waze. But you have to go through menus, which is DANGEROUS while driving. There should be a big readily-visible X on the main navigation screen. Or alternatively, a big readily-visible MUTE button.

Unusable in CarPlay in iOS 18 Beta 4 across multiple vehicles
The app constantly crashes during routine guidance, is unresponsive to taps, runs slowly, is jerky, doesn’t keep up with the current location, doesn’t display speed, and routinely stops displaying a map. I have tried multiple vehicles with the same results. It has been bad across all iOS 18 builds but is especially bad on beta 4.

Show Stop lights
Make viewing intersections with stop lights and option (show the stop light on the navigation). This is something Apple Maps has and it helps people anticipate turns and make less mistakes.

When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”
When showing „Routes”, to be able to select „best average-speed route”, because many drivers prefer a longer but a more pleasant drive to a shorter but full of stops and traffic jams one. Driving faster is part of the pleasure of driving.
Especially in very busy areas, this option would be more than welcomed.
Driving is a pleasure per se, but not if you just stay in line, stuck in traffic jams.4 votes -

CarPlay volumn
Hello
I am so grateful that Waze now works with CarPlay on my new Mercedes E300. I noticed that Waze will reduce the volume of other apps on my iPhone, so that I can continue to hear the other app in the background as Waze provides navigation.
However, Waze appears to connect to CarPlay via the car's navigation volume control while other CarPlay apps connect to CarPlay via the car's entertainment volume control. Consequently, CarPlay stops other audio while Waze makes navigation announcements.
Nice would be a optional setting in Waze for how the app connects to CarPlay, via navigation…6 votes
