Use smart-band's vibrator to notify a danger zone
Because I'm a motorcycle pilot, I need to be more focus on the road than any other vehicules.
I just got a Xiaomi Mi Band which is a BLE health tracker.
This BLE smart-band contains a vibrator and has libraries available for iOS and Android to communicate with (eg. vibration control).It would be just AWESOME if my smart-band could vibrate when I enter a danger zone. Like that I would not have to always take a risk by looking down on my phone while driving.
A pattern could be defined for the vibrations. Like 3 vibrations = entering a…

In motorcycle mode make all choice options timed so they go away without need to press an option (not possible while riding, or in gloves)
New route available options make Waze useless on a motorcycle. They cover the speedo and cannot be selected without stopping, removing glove and pressing a choice. I had to stop three times today. I have a bluetooth controller on the bike but that seems to get disabled when these announcements appear so stopping is the only option. I am using the motorcycle mode with motorcycle selected as my vehicle.

Love WAZE! But Samsung Level U earphones not connecting.
I have syncd Bluetooth & made sure app plays thru to phone speaker. Phone calls, Google maps, Music all work thru earphones but not Waze. I really prefer Waze over Google Maps since I am UBER/LYFT driver and don't want passengers to hear directions. Please HELP!

keyboard shortcut
It would be nice to implement native iOS keyboard shortcuts. Like the Apple Maps app which supports:
CMD + for Zoom In
CMD - for Zoom OutAnd maybe add support for the use of arrow keys to move the map around. CMD UPARROW/DOWNARROW etc.
Another handy one would be a combination to recenter the map.
I am using an iPad for navigation and I'm building a bluetooth remote control :-)

It's some time that waze does not turn off automatically when i close it, leaving me with dead battery.
Please add the possibility to automatically kill waze as soon as the phone isn't connected to AppleCar, Android auto or a bluetooth audio device (that usually is a car stereo)

iPhone/Smartphone as GPS antenna for iPad/Tablet
Instead of paying 99+€ for a bluetooth antenna or the cellular version of the iPad (or any device without gps antenna built in), you should add the option (as other navigation system already have) to use iPhone or any other smartphone with GPS as external antenna.

Radioplayer
J'aimerais que l'application radioplayer soit ajoutée afin de pouvoir écouter la radio quand je ne souhaite pas écouter spotify ou YouTube. Ce serait plus simple si je pouvais passer par waze comme cela le guidage est plus fluide que lors de l'écoute sur le Bluetooth de la radio

Streamlined Spotify Integration
I love the new Spotify integration, so thanks greatly for that.
As much as I love it, it can get in the way a bit as having it open all the time consumes half the screen. (although it closes after notifications which is annoying)I'm sure I'm not the only one who has their phone linked to the car stereo via bluetooth. In this case I can change tracks via the stereo and therefore negates the need for the Waze music controls.
It would be amazing if in the Waze Spotify settings there was a streamlined option that simply…

Automatically start saved route when in car (Android Auto/Apple Carplay)
It would be cool if you could save a router and set it to start automatically the next time you connect to android auto/apple carplay.
It would be a neat little time saver.
For people without auto/carplay this feature could use a specific Bluetooth device as car detection.

Ability to add on-device music players to the icon on the map screen
You currently only have the option to add subscription-type audio apps to Waze audio icon (Spotify, Amazon Music, etc).
Would like the ability to add normal apps to this icon too ... eg Musicolet, etc or even direct Bluetooth music playing.
Not everyone uses a subscription service to listen to music on device

Waze on Android head unit: Send ETA by SMS or instant message via connected phone
I have an Android-based head unit. It gets an internet connection from mobile data via Wifi tethering to my phone. It is also paired to my phone via bluetooth.
I'd like to send my ETA on an SMS text to a phone contact on my connected phone, as opposed to email through the tethere internet connection.
It would be good to see integration with other messaging & social media services, i.e. Whatsapp, Google Hangouts and Facebook.Messenger, for the purposes to sending ETA, or linking a tracking beacon.

NEW FEATURE
Add a new feature that allows waze to voice out hazards ahead like road kill, traffic, and stopped vehicles. Also, when police are reported ahead. This new feature would allow drivers to get all alerts even if they are not using the waze app as a navigation tool. Drivers would be able to set this feature on and off by Bluetooth in their car as well. This would be helpful for everyone driving even if they do not need a gps.

Waze to have an option not to play sound from CarPlay as default
Currently regardless how the sound was set, Waze will always put sound on CarPlay as default and it cannot be changed. However due to some reason, I will need it to play throught my Bluetooth headset instead. Please have this option that available so that I can choose where to sound play from.

Disable Speed Limit Warning Beep
THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY !!
I almost deleted Waze from my iPhone - instead just disable bluetooth on my phone - which kills hands-free phone which is NOT ACCEPTABLE either
You simply MUST MUST MUST make it possible for the user to DISABLE the DAMM SPEED LIMIT CHIRP
This thing goes off 10 times in a 5-mile local stretch of road, interrupting radio and other media playing on the audio system.
My Escort 360 keeps me well appraised of the limits, as does Waze with the red speed limit circle. Wazers deserve the option to NOT BE OVERLOADED with…3 votes -
Google Maps have this option, Waze STRANGELY DOESN'T
Strangely on Google Maps there is a small option that is absent on WAZE that creates many problems for us motorcyclists who use the intercom in the helmet. Let me explain better, the motorcycle helmet intercoms support the double bluetooth audio association but not in a complete way. The first association is dedicated to our main phone or to the motorcycle's TFT, while the second association for mono audio only is associated with our second phone that is used only and exclusively as a navigator. In Google Maps there is a "play as bluetooth call" option that allows us to…

Add a wireless OBD2 sensor for additional vehicle safety information
Suggest adding a wireless Bluetooth OBD2 device (BlueDriver or OBDLink MX+) so Waze can access safety features from your vehicle such as:
1. Blind spot warning
2. Accidental lane departure
3. Show when turn signals are on - for those that forget - optional beep after 5 seconds and before my wife says “YOUR BLINKERS ON!!!”
4. Etc.Option - For lane departure and blind spot warning above - when the two are triggered the Waze display or the hud display below could kick in the appropriate mirror camera video (if the vehicle has mirror cameras) so you see the…

Issues with new update
There are a number of issues with the new Android Waze update. I think it is obvious that the developers use the app on a large screen. The speed limit and current speed are far too small to read while driving. The circle with the speed in it is about 1/2" in diameter on a 7" screen. The speed text and the speed limit are under 1/4" and are very hard to read.
Also, when in full screen display, if one provides a location to navigate to, Waze shows the command in the dialog box, but does nothing. If one…

Cercle indiquant taux de diabète
Serait-il possible de créer un cercle indiquant le taux de diabète provenant de son capteur relié en bluetooth à son téléphone, ceci afin d'éviter de scanner son taux avec le téléphone sachant que c'est interdit en France de tenir le tél à la main en roulant. Lors des grands trajets, cela permettrait de se surveiller et d'éviter une hypoglycémie source d'accident éventuel.
