Plan a drive
I’d love to see more flexibility in the “Plan a Drive” feature. My work schedule rotates weekly — one week I work days, the next I work nights — and this type of schedule is common for shift workers.
Currently, I have to manually adjust my planned drives each daily. It would be really helpful if Waze could support recurring drives with alternating times, for example:
• Week 1: Leave for work at 6:30 AM
• Week 2: Leave for work at 6:30 PM
• Then repeat weeklyHaving an option for rotating weekly schedules or a…

Allow Users (or their friends/family) To Be the GPS Voice
As most users know, there are special sponsored voices you can use for your GPS voice. Kevin Hart did it when Ride Along was coming out. Ed Helms is currently on it for Vacation.
Wouldn't it be great if their was a part of the app where Waze would give the user prompts and they could record themselves, or a friend, or family member saying them. (i.e. "In point 2 miles turn left." "Make a U-turn at the next light" ETC.)
Users could have their best friend tell them directions, or their grandpa, whoever they want. And if they also…

I really wish bookmarks were easier. Like, creating folders. I drive 5 hours a day, work 4. The places I visit are frequent, but there's so many of them. I would love it if there can be folders created so I just tap on that folder for say, Northeast PA sites, or Eastern PA sites, etc.

Driving to catch a flight
Imagine you are off on holiday. Perhaps hiring a car to drive to your destination after catching a flight. You could put your ultimate destination in to Waze and the airport / flight you are going to take.
Waze could keep you up to date on your departure while you're driving to the airport. (and advise on a departure time from your origin). It can update your friends of your progress.
It could keep your ETA up to date with your friends by cross-referencing the flight information and expected arrival time. (It could probably show your approx location based on…

Need A View Shared Drive Option While Using CarPlay
The green-ish “View Shared Drive” button that normally appears on the right side of the screen does not appear while connected to Apple CarPlay. Currently, the only way to view a drive that has been shared with you is to disconnect from CarPlay, which is very frustrating. I am on a road trip with family in which we are driving two separate vehicles, and it would be very useful to be able to view a shared drive on my CarPlay screen to see where the rest of the family is and what their ETA is.
And while we’re at…

Specify how many miles or hours you want to drive a day and get suggestions
Let's say I'm traveling from Tampa, FL to Denver, CO, and I only want to drive 8 hours per day. I would like Waze to suggest where I should stop (city), lodging near an interstate and even restaurants/happy hours. You should be able to specify hours or miles a day.

Plan a Drive - Needs Significant Improvement
If Waze wants to be the go-to app for driving, planning a trip needs to be significantly easier. I just tried to schedule a work travel drive with multiple stops to get to reservations on the way, and only one stop is allowed along the route. Also, adding that one stop took me 10 minutes to figure out. The user interface is not intuitive for adding a stop.
I recommend adding features to the computer app that can be sent to your phone. Planning a trip on the computer is significantly easier than on a phone app, and currently, Waze…

Get rid of splash screens after a drive is set
When I have selected my drive location, I don't want to see another 2 splash screen prompts 1) confirming that I want to drive there and 2) confirming that I want to take Route A out of 5 different options. I find it incredibly inconveniencing.
