1. Show slightly more accurate directions.

   Sometimes on busy crossroads, especially in the Netherlands, for example, the navigation is a bit lacking. There are two factors here:

   1) It doesn't show follow up instructions on screen whenever there is a turn you have to take right away after another turn. In NL it is very common on busy intersections to sort 5 meters after turning into a proper lane, google maps shows this perfectly, but in Waze it doesn't show at all. This causes messy driving sometimes.

   2) The arrows on screen telling you which lane to take is in these situations also not always correct. You could have to take the 2nd exit to the right on a busy intersection, 15 meters after the first one, but Waze already shows that you have to take the right lane before the 1st exit, thus making you take a wrong turn. Once again, in NL some crossroads are not straightforward at all, especially when you've never driven in that spot before.

   I hope i explained it clearly.

2. Suggestion for improvements to the charging station search on Waze

   Dear Sir/Madam,
   With the proliferation of electric vehicles, it is crucial to optimize the charging station search on Waze to make it a recommended reference. Below, I propose specific improvements to enhance this feature.

   1. AA CarPlay / Displaying power, not speed status
      Currently, on Android Auto, I notice that Waze displays vague indications ("Fast", "Medium", "Very Fast") rather than the power in kW. I would like the exact power to be indicated to better inform users.

   2. App / Displaying availability on the map
      This feature, which was previously available, has disappeared. I find that displaying the number of free connectors directly on the map when searching for a station via the "Charging Station" tab is visually very useful, and I would like to see it reintroduced.

   3. App / Separate display for 2 different power levels for the same connector

   For example, a station with 8 CCS at 300 kW and 2 CCS at 150 kW is displayed as 10 CCS at 300 kW, which is misleading. I suggest displaying each power level separately with the corresponding number of connectors for greater clarity.

   1. App / Adding a filter
      I suggest adding the following filters to facilitate searching:
      A "restricted" filter to sort stations by their status (public, restricted, private).
      A power filter with three ranges: < 22 kW, 23-99 kW, > 100 kW, or all.
      A filter for stations accepting credit cards, based on the option already checked in the editor.

   2. CarPlay, AA / display the same level of information
      I notice marked differences between Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. On CarPlay, only basic information like the address is displayed, while Android Auto includes location, real-time availability, and services. Similarly, on the mobile app, Android offers filters ("open," "fast charging") that are absent on iOS. I would like to see harmonization for a consistent experience.

   3. App / Sort the proposed networks alphabetically
      In France, the list of operators lacks logic. I propose alphabetical sorting to simplify navigation and avoid confusing users.

   4. AndroidAuto CarPlay / Display the "About Us" section
      Some stations include relevant information in the "About Us" section, but it is not visible on Android Auto or CarPlay. I would like this section to be accessible to enrich the available information.

   I am also sending you a presentation with easy-to-understand images for the first five improvement suggestions. https://www.canva.com/design/DAGkf5jBlCM/iFvM8n0-ZKTkmBRVQ4slkQ/view?utm_content=DAGkf5jBlCM&utm_campaign=share_your_design&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=shareyourdesignpanel

   These suggestions aim to make Waze more intuitive and reliable for electric vehicle drivers. I remain available to discuss these proposals in more detail.

   Sincerely,
   Rohann

3. Multiple voices

   You should be able to pick the voices you like, and then put them on shuffle so you can have your favourite voices without having to change the voice manually each time.

4. To be able to see favorites (gas stations, businesses) enroute to a destination.

   You're on a trip and you'd like to stop for coffee or gas at a favourite company on the way to a destination but you don't want to see locations behind you or out of the way.

6. Route mapping/sharing social

   I believe having some sort of route mapping option akin to services like mapmyrun and Strava would be a great way to introduce a more social aspect for those of us who like driving for the sake of the drive or an adventure.

   Myself and many of my friends enjoy just going on random drives where we just go where the wind takes us and see sights with no particular destinations in mind. However mapping those routes and destinations for future reference is challenging and honestly time consuming.

   A feature like this as I could currently see it would allow the user to select a tracking option, which would then start recording. This would then track their current location and plot it along the route they drive, allowing the user to see a recap of sorts at the end of the drive, possibly with some analytics such as time driven, distance driven, time spent stopped, or others for people who enjoy more specific analytics.

   Another feature that could tie into this tracking option would be the ability for users to mark points of interest along the route using the same kind of marking tools used to mark hazards currently. Users could then when stopped or post-drive add information to those points of interest such as name, basic descriptions, photos, tags, etc.

   Tying into those would be the option of a social network of sorts, where users could share routes, points of interest, photos, posts, etc. with the community. At the moment, it feels as if Waze has a strong passionate community, but very few options outside of off-platform forums to really interact in a social way.

   A feature like this would not only give Wazers the chance to build more of a community locally and at large, but also the chance to integrate other future features to really reinforce the connection drivers can have with those around them. Thus, Waze could become more of a platform, rather than just a tool. While this may seem like a lot, most of the technical groundwork could build on existing systems like marking hazards and location tracking.

7. Motorcycle based map and speed display scale and legibility.

   I have 5" carplay units on both of my motorcycles. (no this is not a display size issue). My preferred map software in carplay, is Waze, as I want the most crowdsourced information such as cops, traffic, construction, etc. My only problem on the motorcycle with carplay/Waze display is that the map is way too FINE and small print, the speed is too small, and red/black which are fairly impossible to read as they're both dark colors.

   My ask, and idea, and suggestion... either basically control over the display SIZE to make the fonts and boldness of the roads and road names much more significant. and control over the speed display to be larger, and display colors. -or- a motorcycle mode, which prioritizes those things knowing that the display may be somewhat small, 5 or 7" are the only ones for motorcycles. and it's going to be vibrating a bit, and the rider is in a helmet, with visor or some sort of vision disturbance other than none/glasses_only.

   The current version of carplay/waze for motorcycle use is , not usable. Even in cases where I know what street is coming up im looking for, there's no way I can see it on the mc carplay unit waze map. not not bc size... bc the display is a "fine line" and a small fine font.

   There is a motorcycle avatar icon to use, idk if you choose that it could auto-adapt the display to something motorcycle oriented with large bold font, thick bold street lines, and large high-contrast speed information., that would be really great. or separate controls, either way... please. pretty please LOL =)

8. Indicator Panel with Arrows and Traffic Directions and Street Names

   Hi guys, I have a suggestion for you developers,
   Could you make as a Show and Hide Option the "Indicator Panel with Arrows and Traffic Directions and Street Names" which is black in color,
   And it's always there on the top left and it's huge and it covers a lot of the nav screen, top left, Could you make it like some sort of show and hide option.
   This Information-Indicative Panel is rarely used and is not suitable to be always present on the display especially during long distances.
   This black Information-Indicator panel is rarely used. If possible, please make the direction arrows AS TRANSPARENT ARROWS ON THE HIGHWAY CONTOURS for the current traffic, but let them also be optional.
   Could you also make the background, text and arrow color as selectable option to implement for users, May it be more successful and attractive Waze.

   And more:
   I use Sidjik and Waze in Europe and Bulgaria,
   This offer is important for many users, according to reviews in the Internet community,
   I don't know why everyone wants this proposal to be introduced but no one has informed you yet.
   I understand that old telephones and radio navigation systems were short on memory and disk space, and applications had to be pruned.
   But this has changed dramatically in the last few years, Telephones and Radio-Navigations have become powerful computers that can handle large volumes of information, games, movies and lots of color and endless options..
   And it all depends on you guys, Put more options for us to enjoy your navigation. Let's make Ways successful and attractive to all of us.

9. Radio/TV station badges

   As a radio station owner/presenter, I remember back in 2018 when I last had my station running, looking forward to having my station as part of a wazers badge.

   When wazers used to be able to choose the badge to wear on the map of their favourite station and wear it across the map with pride.

   Could you bring this back? The old W on Air used to be an amazing feature too if you could do something like that also?

10. Useless information

    Dear on duty!
    I drive a lot to work and back. Hours each day. Mostly, I use the app to foresee road blocks so I could re-route through back roads that even Waze doesn't know about.
    But I get a lot of useless notifications like "left lane blocked" or "fog". These notifications are pointing out the obvious. You wasted time programming, I wasted time reading it. This morning the app told me "bad weather"! This flipped my lid off. Like what? I'll explain.
    How do you measure good or bad? Bad for who? It's latitude 59, it's December. I'd say +7C is not bad weather. Yes, it's off statistics (it should be -10C), but it's not bad. It could be sleeting sideways. It was just dark and rainy. Get over it!
    The information I need is the kind that makes me make decisions as I drive. Stuff like potholes, dead bodies, zombies, vegans, accidents ahead - those fleeting hazards. My eyes are fine, checked by doctors - I can see it's foggy. Typically I saw that fog hours before your notification - your notification is hours late. I can see the left lane block miles before your pop-up thing. There are traffic signs, remember?
    I know people like to report, post, and share everything they see, it gives them some sort of satisfaction. A little good deed per day - I reported poor weather on Waze (Go Karen!). Keep the possibility, but don't show it to everyone driving by.
    What you can do with the obvious information is push it out in advance. When I tap "drive me Home" on the screen, it then plans my route. And now it could come back with a notification covering the possible hazards on the planned route - traffic jams, slippery road, poor visibility, etc. I can make decisions before I hit the road. I can take a phone call home warning that I may be late for dinner due to poor road condition.
    Every piece of information has value, but the timing must be correct, otherwise it's just noise.

12. Show icon when entering and exiting the danger zone on the map

    Hello,

    Would it be possible to improve the announcement of danger zones for France (because in our country, announcing the precise location of speed cameras is prohibited!)?

    The ideal would be to have an icon when you enter and another icon when you leave a danger zone in addition to the voice announcement and the small frame at the top left.
    If we could also have on the road, a color associated with danger zones as in the style of traffic announcements, to best indicate the duration of the zone.

    Other applications like Tomtom do so why not Waze!
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Have a good day

    Bonjour,

    Est- ce qu'il serait possible d'améliorer l'annonce des zones de danger pour la France (car chez nous, annoncer l'emplacement précis des radars est interdit!)?

    L'idéale serait d'avoir une icône quand on entre et une autre icône quand on sort d'une zone de danger en plus de l'annonce vocale et du petit cadre en haut à gauche.
    Si on pouvait avoir également sur la route, une couleur associée aux zones de danger comme dans le style des annonces de trafic, pour indiquer au mieux la durée de la zone.

    D'autres applications comme chez Tomtom le font alors pourquoi pas Waze!
    Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

    Bonne journée

    Hallo,

    Wäre es möglich, die Anzeige von Gefahrenzonen für Frankreich zu verbessern (denn in unserem Land ist die genaue Anzeige von Blitzerstandorten verboten!)?

    Ideal wäre neben der Sprachansage und dem kleinen Rahmen oben links ein Icon beim Betreten und ein weiteres Icon beim Verlassen einer Gefahrenzone.
    Wenn wir auch auf der Straße eine Farbe haben könnten, die Gefahrenzonen wie im Stil von Verkehrsdurchsagen zugeordnet ist, um die Dauer der Zone am besten anzuzeigen.

    Andere Anwendungen wie Tomtom machen das, warum also nicht Waze!
    Vielen Dank im Voraus für Ihre Hilfe.

    Haben Sie einen guten Tag

    Buenos dias,

    ¿Sería posible mejorar el anuncio de las zonas de peligro para Francia (porque en nuestro país está prohibido anunciar la ubicación precisa de los radares!)?

    Lo ideal sería tener un icono cuando entras y otro icono cuando sales de una zona de peligro además del anuncio de voz y el marco pequeño en la parte superior izquierda.
    Si pudiéramos tener también en la carretera, un color asociado a las zonas de peligro al estilo de los anuncios de tráfico, para indicar mejor la duración de la zona.

    Otras aplicaciones como Tomtom lo hacen, ¿por qué no Waze?
    Gracias de antemano por su ayuda.

13. Screen Alerts South London Restrictions

    Please, please provide Camera alerts for as short as one hour road entry restrictions eg in rush hour times in London. Results in PCN fines of £65. These experimental road layout changes are frequently changing (over the last 3-4 years) and the simple “Speed camera” type alerts which pop up on the screen would be really really useful! Waze plans the route well to avoid I believe, but we are sometimes tempted to ignore, thinking we know better!
    As experienced London drivers know, we have favourite routes developed over a lifetime, so these time-based one or two hour restrictions are a money-making opportunity that Waze is perfectly placed to help drivers with!

    by recc of Waze Customer Support, here's what I wrote to Ralph:

    Hi Ralph …

    ....

    I do have a few somethings else ….

    1)I need the directions to reference something I see out the window. I don’t care if the locals call it “Webster-Basin-Springs RD” …. what’s on the road sign is State 333 off of US 60 South west of Irvington, **. You’ll need google maps/apple maps to find this reference. Waze only shows the name which cannot be seen on the road.

    Waze CONSTANTLY uses a reference which is NOT on the roadway signs.

    2) Nuther complaint: “where to” tap doesn’t persist when moving. So I get penalized with needing more attention to the app while driving than “just a glance.” Let it persist like it does when I’m not moving.

    3) I expect this probably involves some sort of payment, but finding destinations is hardly easy. So what I have to do is use the apple or google map to search for fuel stations I want to use and then copy the address, enter it into a non-persistent ‘goto’ field.

    4) need to restore the ability to easily update the speed limit. Used to be “tap the speedometer” to open a correction … now unable to correct as far as I know.

    5) It has “opt out” of a toll road. It also needs to be aware of the vehicle … are we able to “turn around” on a narrow residential street with driveways the only alternative to BACKING onto a highway … or are we a truck/trailer combination which needs a roadway? motorcycle, sports car, sedan, SUV/Truck, Truck-Trailer.

    6) perhaps ability to easily update the max speed for accurate ETA. On this last trip (towing an RV) … I didn’t run the 75 mph speed limit.

    7) Finally … how about a selectable chime only for when approaching a turn (with selectable lead time) in the computed direction or add a chime for an alert? Waze reads-off 5 different roadway names, so I mute the sound.

    I use Waze for speed limits, roadway condition alerts, traffic, police, etc. It’s been superior there, but it needs to be refined by someone who wears glasses when they used to have “x-ray vision" and has seen more than 3 POTUS election cycles … as a registered voter. when I zoom in to read a street name, the letters need to enlarge.

    appreciate your work … I just returned from a 900 plus mile one way drive. Got a lot of work with this app, and these shortcomings were evident repeatedly.

15. Functionality requests

    • For the online version -
      Need to be able to add and manage saved favorites just like on GMaps.
      Need to be able to see my saved places on the map just like on GMaps.

    • For the in-car version -
      Need to be able to touch a spot on the map and save it as a favourite or navigate to it or add it to the route Just like on Google Maps.
      Need to be able to touch on a map icon and get more info about what it is, ie a crash, speed camera etc.
      For alerting other drivers about road conditions, you need to add "Debris on Road" as an option.
      When adding an alert on the live map, need to be able to choose exactly where the alert is and NOT where my car is right now. Remember, we're driving and need to focus on what we're doing to get through the hazard. This is how I'd like to able to do it - Tap the warning triangle, choose the hazard from the list, tap the map for it's location. Then allow up to 10 seconds for me to be able to cancel in case I've made a mistake.
      The way it is now, I couldn't be bothered to submit because it's not worth the hassle and it's behind me now.

    • For the App version -
      After touching a point on the map, menu options need to include; Go here, Save as a favourite, and (if currently on a drive) Add as a way-point and Go here Instead. Hiding them in Preview Location makes for a complicated and unintuitive experience.

    • For the online version -
      Need to be able to add and manage saved favorites just like on GMaps.
      Need to be able to see my saved places on the map just like on GMaps.

16. Trem

    Estive na Suiça, e ao traçar uma rota até Milão, em nenhum momento informou que na rota, pegariamos um trem (de carro, obviamente). Na primeira tivemos sorte que o trem saiu em cinco minutos. Mas no trem seguinte, o trem ia sair dentro de uma hora. Não tínhamos esse tempo sobrando. Tracei a rota no dia anterior e como o Waze informou que levaria apenas três horas, não planejamos mais que isso e no dia seguinte tivemos q surpresa. Só quando chegamos no trem que percebemos que seria de trem. Sugiro que assim como fazem com balsa, deveria avisar que você irá, de carro, pegar um trem. E também avisar os valores, pois os custos são altos. Obrigada

17. Why Choose AVD for DaaS?

    Why Choose AVD for DaaS?
    As a DaaS offering, AVD is highly cost-effective compared to scaling up a traditional virtual desktop environment in your own data center. With the business disruption during COVID-19, companies were trying to find ways to extend their remote work infrastructure while keeping their operating expenses low. Companies already on a Microsoft ecosystem, such as Windows 10 Enterprise or Microsoft 365, had additional incentives to make the shift; I will explain why further down.

    Another driver for Azure Virtual Desktop during this time is that it lets organizations control apps and data while allowing their employees to access those resources from their own devices. This is something that a traditional VDI/RDS environment can also provide. However, the cost advantage of AVD, when combined with security and control, creates a winning combination.

    If IT decision-makers consider the end-user benefit, another reason to choose AVD is the superior experience of Windows 10 and Office 365 that it can provide. The right user experience increases productivity. You don’t want to frustrate your valuable employees with a clunky experience while they work from home. Now, let’s explore what makes AVD a robust offering that could have sustainable growth even after more employees return to the office.

    The Azure Advantage
    With AVD, the infrastructure and management components of a traditional on-premises virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) disappear into the cloud—just like a dinosaur-shaped cloud merges back into indescribable formations on the backdrop of the beautiful blue sky on a sunny day. (Read my post on Windows Server/SQL Server end life for more dinosaur metaphors.) Thanks to this merging, Microsoft is taking back critical components of a traditional VDI—such as brokering, load-balancing, compute, storage, and diagnostics—from your plate, which will let your precious IT talent focus on other strategic areas with growth potential.

    Hosting your desktops on Azure also means you get Azure’s state-of-the-art security features. I believe Azure is considered the most secure public cloud platform, and AVD provides the best DaaS security model for customers. With AVD, users can only access their virtual machines (VMs) by going through the Azure Active Directory authentication system. This means companies can use multifactor authentication and conditional access according to their needs and depending on the employee profile. Also, Azure uses reverse connect technology that lets you run a VM without keeping any inbound ports open. This means that the VMs on AVD are not exposed to the Internet directly.

    Windows 10 Multisession
    Unlike the traditional RDI, Azure Virtual Desktop allows multiple sessions on a Windows 10 VM. This means that an organization can have multiple users access the same virtual machine while reducing the cost of maintaining multiple VM licenses. Also, these sessions are isolated from each other, which gives higher security and privacy.

    FSLogix Profile Containers
    The FSLogix piece solidifies my above point about the superior Windows 10 and Office experience on AVD. Microsoft acquired FSLogix a few years back and integrated its profile container technology into its Azure and Microsoft 365 ecosystems. With FSLogix profile container technology integrated to AVD, Microsoft has revolutionized the way the end-user experience works in non-persistent virtual machine sessions. An AVD user profile will follow a user even if they do not use the same virtual machine session every time they access AVD virtual machines.

    The integration of FSLogix containers also significantly impacts how your Microsoft Apps (formerly Office 365 ProPlus) and OneDrive experience work with AVD. FSLogix with AVD can provide you the most productive Microsoft 365 Apps experience. The FSLogix technology on AVD also allows OneDrive to sync when the user roams through non-persistent sessions.

    Access AVD from Any Operating System
    Another reason why AVD is a win for the end user is through the flexibility that Microsoft offers for AVD across diverse operating systems. A user can access AVD in Windows, macOS, iOS, or Android. The client OS flexibility of this sort goes a long way to BYOD scenarios that companies may want to use while they extend their remote work footprint.

    The growth drivers for Microsoft products are not just based on better technology; they include how Microsoft makes it easier for existing customers to adopt those technologies and how they use their partner ecosystem to help customers solve business problems using those technologies. In AVD, Microsoft makes the adoption easier for you by making the AVD license-free with most Microsoft 365 licenses and Windows 10 Enterprise licenses. The cost savings alone can be a significant driver for companies—with a Microsoft software ecosystem—to adopt AVD. Not to mention, Windows 7 EOL customers get free Extended Security Updates on AVD.

    Why Choose AVD for DaaS?
    As a DaaS offering, AVD is highly cost-effective compared to scaling up a traditional virtual desktop environment in your own data center.

19. Olá pessoal!

    Olá pessoal! Recentemente, notei que em algumas rotas no Waze, as atualizações de tráfego não estão sendo refletidas de forma precisa ou rápida, especialmente em áreas mais movimentadas. Seria ótimo se pudéssemos sugerir melhorias na precisão do monitoramento de tráfego em tempo real, principalmente para grandes cidades. Isso ajudaria muito na hora de escolher a melhor rota. Alguém mais tem sentido essa dificuldade ou gostaria de sugerir algo para melhorar a funcionalidade?Também percebi esse problema nas atualizações de tráfego do Waze, e às vezes parece que estou apostando na sorte, como no Lucky Jet https://fogueteaposta.com/lucky-jet/ , esperando que a melhor rota apareça no último segundo! Seria ótimo se o Waze pudesse ser mais rápido com os dados, assim como precisamos ser rápidos nas decisões no jogo.

I am aware that it's not going to happen for a while yet, but i would like to start learning and experimenting. There are ton's of books on amazon, but what should i get, which one is easiest to understand and quick(if there's such), how many books, what sequance to read them??
