Posibilidad de marcar en el mapa, los reductores de velocidad más grandes (túmulos)
En las calles y carreteras de los países de América Central, es común que haya reductores de velocidad de gran tamaño. Sería interesante poder marcarlos en el mapa.
11 votesWe plan to work on reporting the speed bumps in the near future. In the meantime, make sure you’ve got the latest version of Waze for all the latest features.

Indicate toll roads on main navigation screen
Because a tiny icon in the route summary doesn't cut it and is often missed!
Also ability to show (in route summary) the cost and payment methods (cash, card, NFC, NPR, etc) of the toll road so you can plan ahead.

voices
Allow developers to add their own created voices to the database and sell their creations on the open market with Waze taking a portion of the profits.

boston accent
You should have a boston accent choice. Just make sure it's actually someone from here doing the accent. Then you could add accents from other states as well.

Stop using the word "Accident" completely.
Crashes are not accidents. The NHTSA has stopped using the word accident in all communications. So have many state highway patrols, and local police. So has the medical profession. Please stop using "accident" on Waze, and instead use crash or collision. Accidents are quite rare, and the word is far to subjective to be using like this.

Allow routing to avoid defined zones on map (bad neighborhoods, long term construction, etc)
Lots of people have suggested that Waze have an option to avoid "bad neighborhoods" or other areas for other reasons, but I understand that it would be very difficult for Waze to do that automatically. For a given city, you usually have to be a local resident to know that you should avoid a certain area in your daily commute.
So, give each user the option to define avoidance zones in our apps. That way, Waze is not responsible for making that determination, the individual users do it. It could be just a simple polygon drawing function, with a checkbox to avoid the area in routes.
That way, Waze won't constantly try to send me through the prime carjacking area in my city every time I go home. That would be nice.

Synchronize points and levels across all Waze servers
Perhaps most Wazers won't realize this until they go on vacation but points earned in another country may not be added to your profile when you return home. Say you live in the UK and you go on a road trip in the US. When you run Waze for the first time in the US you will have zero points, and you will be relegated back to a baby Wazer. And nothing you earn while on that trip will be added to your profile back in the UK. This is a real dis-incentive to participate in sharing information. Please find a way of synchronizing points and levels achieved across all Waze servers.

Police Car in the middle
On the open interstate highways in the USA the State Highway Patrol sit in the middle but I don't know which direction the police is shooting. If there is a "middle" option, it would alert Waze users of either direction. Not only one side of the highway

Configurable sound outputs in Android App
Currently, the Android App is working in an unsatisfying way:
In the Settings menu, under Sound, I've enabled the option to play sounds using the phone's speaker.
When I plug in my earphones in my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S6) I expect all sound to be diverted to the earphones, not being played in the public speaker.Waze does not behave like this. It plays the sound in the speaker regardless of the cable.
My request is to let the user configure, in detail, where the sound should go.
Output sound to:
[ ] Speaker/headphones
( ) Speaker OR headphones
( ) Speaker AND headphones
[ ] BluetoothThere is a checkbox for the title-option "Speaker/headphones". As long as this is unchecked, the two radio buttons below is grayed-out. When you check it, you can choose one of the two alternatives, where "Speaker OR headphones" should be the default.
Selecting "Speaker AND headphones" will output the sound both ways even though the audio cable is connected, while "Speaker OR headphones" work the intuitive way, i.e. no speaker when an audio cable is plugged in.
If the checkbox for Bluetooth is checked, sound goes to Bluetooth as well.
I've posted this in the forum as well. I don't understand why there are two separate places for suggestions/requests... :

restrictions on canceling reports
It's obvious that photo radar van operators and police are using Waze. I have driven by a PR van, reported it, and on my way back the report will be gone but the PR van will still be there (someone reported it as "not there"). There should be a "not there" safeguard in place, where depending on your rank on the scoreboard, so many reports of not being there need to be filed before it gets removed from the map, and a "Thanks!" report cancels out a "not there" report.
For example: I am a Knight, so either a Knight/King can cancel my report, or 4 baby wazers can cancel it.
That way, the PR operator shouldn't be able to cancel the report the moment after he gets pinned on the map.

Audible alert needed to detour
Detour alerts need to be spoken; when driving we cannot always stop & read the alert until it is too late & are stuck in stopped traffic.

Folder for voices
When you download a voice, it goes to a folder (or even a 2nd app that is a storage/management for voices.) The option to keep voices should happen. I need Gronk back!
There is nothing worse than finding a voice with a tone that isn't obnoxious. When you do, it is gone a week later. Not to mention, when the new featured voices are also annoying people that you don't want talking to you. (I don't want Jay Leno in my car.)

Navigation to area instead of address ניווט לאיזור במקום לכתובת ספציפית
Driving to an address to find nearby parking? Going to drop a passenger somewhere?
When navigating to a specific address (current option) you won't always get the shortest way. For example the house you want to get to is just across the street from you- wayz can take navigate you to a U turn or worse.
My suggestion- add on option "drive to area"- you put an address and radius (or make few radius options) and wayz will create the fastest way to that radius.
מחפש חניה ליד הבית? נוסע להוריד מישהו ליד כתובת? הווייז לא תמיד ייקח אותך בדרך המהירה משום שהוא מנווט לכתובת מדויקת.
לדוגמא- הכתובת שהכנסת נמצאת בצד השני של הכביש (בנתיב הנגדי), הווייז יתחיל לחפש פניית פרסה (במקרה הטוב) במקום שתחנה ותחצה את הכביש ברגל.
ההצעה שלי- הוספת אופציית "ניווט לאיזור"- המשתמש מכניס כתובת ורדיוס (או בוחר רדיוס מכמה אופציות) והווייז ינווט בדרך המהירה ביותר לתוך הרדיוס הזה.

Voice guidance only sound option
Allow users to disable alert sounds, but keep guidance instructions.
I like voice guidance, especially when waze directs me to do something weird in an unfamiliar area to avoid traffic.
I find all alert notifications extremely annoying, and do not use the app for that purpose. It would be nice to be able to disable the annoying sounds and keep the useful ones turned on.

Highway Exits
It would be great that Waze would recognize if you are traveling along an out of state highway and could provide further information on exits along the highway. This information could be provided by wazers and could just use a check box option such as
- Easy on Easy Off
- Great Place to Get Gas
- Great Place to Get Food
- Safe Area
- List of Nearby Restaurants (off of Exit)

Having a paid version

next service station - distance/time
On a long drive it'd be handy to be able to see:-
"Service station 1 - 3miles/5mins"
"Service station 2 - 45miles/38minutes"11 votesHey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!
