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.

Provide an auto-reroute disable function.
Provide an auto-reroute disable function. I was going through Atlanta and routed off of I-75 HOV lane (75 mph) to surface streets, only to be routed back on to I-75 slow lane (10-15 mph). That cost me about 15 minutes trying to get back to the HOV lane.

Give option to hide fuel station, when I'm driving EV and show EV chargers instead.
Give option to hide fuel station, when I'm driving EV and show EV chargers instead. It's frustrating, to not be able to turn off fuel station from map, even if I marked my car as EV.

Pause button
Other people have asked for a pause button. It's annoying and potentially dangerous to fiddle with the app while driving. One button would be helpful.

Differentiate alternative routes from each other by color
If you display alternative routes while actively navigating/driving, they will all be displayed in the same color. It would be helpful to display each route in a different color for easy differentiation.

Display more (limited) house numbers at destination
Short version: When approaching your destination display not only the pin for the address that you're arriving at, but also one, two or three addresses before and after the address. Example: navigating to 122 Main St would show up with the navigation pin, but also show a small number 114 and 118 before, and 126 and 130 after the pin.
When working for a delivery app like Door Dash, Uber Eats, Uber, Lyft, Instacart, Walmart Spark, Amazon Flex, Grub Hub, etcetera you're just trying to get to the location, drop the package, and move on to your next delivery. Often times it's very difficult to see any house numbers on the buildings themselves as much of this happens after dark and people for some reason don't like to turn on their porchlights (reddit is complete with complaints for this on any of the delivery subs). When using the built in GPS for whichever app you're talking about it will typically display not only the various house numbers as you get closer to the destination but also a polygon. I'm sure the polygon would be out of the question, but just having the house numbers displayed for a few before and after the destination would be immensely helpful. Imagine you're waiting for a delivery of food, there's your house and two others on your side of the road, and your driver gets to your house only to stammer for a few minutes not sure which house to deliver to.

Do not cancel driver reports for mis-taps
Suggestion: Do not dump Wazers completely out of the reporting process because of a mis-tap or error.
Problem solved: Prevents Wazers from having their attempts to help totally aborted due to mistakes, which is discouraging, frustrating, annoying, demoralizing, and may discourage Wazers from submitting future reports.
Discussion:
When a user opens the report feature on a mobile device, they are presented with a collection of icons to choose from. If, because they are driving and trying to pay attention to the road, they happen to miss the target and accidentally tap the space between icons, the report display cancels out. Now they have to restart the process, and by restarting, assuming they are still in motion, the report will now be in the wrong location. This also results in extending the time the driver is interacting with Waze instead of driving.
If a user has the report feature open and is not sure which category to choose from for a specific situation, they will try one of them. If it turns out the category they chose does not work (or if they tapped the wrong one by accident because they are driving or hit a bump or whatever), the natural intuitive action is the tap the “back” button so they can go back one step. However, as above, attempting to go back also completely cancels out the report process. So, as above, if they try again, they are spending even more time interacting with Waze than was necessary, and of course the report will also be in the wrong location.
FIX 1: While in the report flow, do not close the process if the user taps into blank space between icons. Just be patient and let them try again.
FIX 2: While in the report flow, do not close the process if the user taps their “back” button. Instead take them back to the previous screen so they can try to complete their intended action.
MAINTAIN: While in the report flow, if the user clear taps the map display, go ahead and close the process (this is current functionality).
Suggestion: Do not dump Wazers completely out of the reporting process because of a mis-tap or error.

I've been using Waze for numerous years now. Any option of caravan and trailer specifications to prevent narrow, unsuitable roads? I would be more than happy to pay a subscription as the maps are great.

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! :)

Car Play phone view switch
When connected via Car Play, the map can only be seen on the car. The turn-by-turn list is the only thing you see on the phone screen. I want the ability to see the map on the phone too. When re-routing occurs I often want to view the route to see if I want to go a different way. Trying to pinch/move/navigate the car screen is hard, and becomes unsafe very quickly. Pinching/moving on the phone is much easier and ultimately safer.

Make UR emails replyable
Like right now there's a couple of reporters that reply to the emails instead of clicking on the links. Would it be possible to create a certain email wildcard that posts what they say in the email onto WME? I've seen this done with other businesses so I don't know why Waze can't do it. For the meantime at least add a banner at the top of the email body stating it's a no reply email and to use the links provided instead.

Alerta de lombadas
O waze poderia alertas de lombadas, no brasil o poder público deveria cuidar das sinalizações mas não o faz, os alertas podem ser construídos como os radares

Train
I see suggestions for reporting trains, and the responses from Waze are that railroad crossings are now available. However, I would love if we could report when a train is actually there or if Waze was somehow able to detect trains / train schedules and find alternate routes one day. Knowing railroad crossings are helpful, but when there’s a train it could delay ~15 minutes to the route so it would be great to be notified of an active train or be able to report it

Police reporting needs to be switched back
The police reporting system needs to be switched back. Driving along the interstate, I frequently report police sitting on the opposite side of the road. I also report police sitting in the median checking for speeders both ways. The "other side" button needs to return.
Thanks
