Parking Lots Should Complete Navigation to a linked Place
Many Parking Lots were created with the big push a few years ago but never had much use other than the ones flagged as Public for downtown type parking areas.
For restricted type parking lots that only serve a single place, once a user enters the parking lot for the place, navigation should complete.
A link would need to exist between the parking lot area and the place point/area.
This would create a usefulness to these parking lot areas that were created, as currently they simply are clutter on the map and serve generally no…

Áreas de Risco, postos de combustível e estacionamento
Sugestão para:
1-Permitir marcarmos área de risco. Vez ou outra o waze manda entrar em Comunidades e ruas perigosas;
2-Na configuração disponibilizar "mostrar no
Mapa", postos de combustível e estacionamentos.Sobre área de risco, essa semana uma atriz da globo teve o carro baleado com percurso numa área perigosa.

To have options to report unsafe areas (Eg.South Africa - Riots) so that tourists and people unaware don't drive into said areas
I am from South Africa and unfortunately we often have riots and there are areas that aren't safe to drive. It would be good to have an option that allows this to be highlighted or reported (as we do with traffic) so people that are unaware don't intentionally drive into dangerous areas.

Speed traps notifications
Early notifications about speed traps inform you whenever you are in the area of the speed trap.
But now, if you are entering the speed trap area at the allowed speed, they don’t inform you about it, even if you are entered at the allowed speed, but increase your speed in this area.7 votes -
Reduce taps required from search to navigation
Currently from the time I see an address for which I've searched to when I'm able to just drive and see the map and directions, there are FOUR TAPS in between those two things happening.
Tap 1 — Seeing the address as text in search results.
Tap 2 — Seeing the address as an official box in results.
Tap 3 — Seeing the address on a map with parking options
Tap 4 — Directions calculated, and clearing option to choose routes.When a person is starting to drive, that's quite frustrating.
I just want to GO. Please reduce this to…

CB-like push-to-talk (walkie-talkie) button to talk to wazers around you.
CB-like push-to-talk button to talk to wazers around you in an adjustable radius area or on the same road. This would be a very used feature in Romania, where CB transceivers are very used in cars. Many people who do not have a physical one would use the Waze alternative, and many would switch from physical CB to waze.
40 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Waze Joyride - Plan cookie munching trip
Instead of navigating from A to B, can I plan a circular route with as much cookie munching as possible? My regular commute no longer suggests new routes, but I'd like to explore the area and have say a 30 min trip validating as many roads as possible.
33 votesThis is available – in the route settings, you can choose ‘prefer cookie munching’. This will make the route a bit longer, but will include more road munching, where available.

Risk classification system by areas
Risk classification system by areas:
Some countries like mine (Peru) have several areas which are either dangerous or ugly to go through. Since Waze algorithm is set to always find the best route regarding the traffic and shortest ways to minimze the time, sometimes it includes these kind of undesireble zones and and it can be really annoying or even scary.
Therefore, I suggest to implement a security location system based on the split and categorization of how safe or risky is each area.
At first, it's going to be necessary to make an initial investigation about…

Automatically switch off 'Record new road' feature
As an area manager, it is a headache to keep deleting small segments of road alongside existing roads, caused by GPS inaccuracies where a user has left the 'record new road' feature switched on. I think it would be a good idea to have the client automatically switch off the feature if the user has been travelling on an existing road for a set period of time, for example, 2 minutes.

Categorizing Favorites
With my Garmin, I can quickly look at my favorites list relative to my current location. ADVANTAGE: I'm hungry.....it tells me where my favorite restaurants and coffee shops are and how close. Makes it easy to return there when i'm in the area.
UPGRADE: Ability to share your favorites list with a friend, so that they can choose a place and navigate there as well!

Create alternative routes
Currently the routes proposed in my area only offer a default navigation choice, which is far from optimal. What about the possibility to record alternative routes, which may or not be shared with other users?
12 votesGreat news! The feature for getting alternate routes is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Add an alert for wildfires in a area and heavy smoke covering the roadway.
This could help unknowing drivers from potentially driving into a dangerous or even life-threatening situation.
