Find my home in Northern California correctly. I just installed your app because I travel allot. Much to my surprise, your app cannot find
My idea is for more accurate maps in Northern California. I would need to wander through the woods to get to my starting point per your map. And I live within city limits!

Serious mapping issue on NY Rt 17 problem
Waze appears to only recognize NY Route 17 and part of CT Route 84 westbound. On the afternoon of August 3rd and on a prior trip 6 weeks ago, I drove to Ithaca NY from Orange, CT - a 4 hour drive. On the way to Ithaca, Waze gave me the fastest, most direct route, which included NY Route 17 and CT Route 84, but on the return trip, Waze suggested taking me WAY northbound, so 70 miles out of my way, adding 1 hour to my drive, but On the first trip in late June, I assumed that there must be some bad accident that Waze was directing me around. But yesterday, when I noticed Waze trying to drive me north again, I decided to run Google Maps in parallel to double-check. That’s when I noticed that the Waze version of my trip was 1 hour longer than Google. So I ignored Waze and followed Google Maps. As we drove, Waze kept recalculating, trying to get me to u-turn. It did this for 45 minutes at 65 mph, eventually suggesting a 7.5 hour total drive time! Finally, Waze app quit and closed. When I re-opened it, it refused to give me a map “Could not find a route”. I tested this by attempting to map to Westport, CT. Waze gave me a map this time, but suggested I drive north almost in the opposite direction, then back again along a nearly parallel highway, taking us 140 miles out of the way - CRAZY!! Finally, after crossing the Hamilton-Fisch Newberg Beacon Bridge eastbound, Waze finally was able to map again to Orange CT. In the end, Google Maps estimate was accurate. Serious issue along eastbound NY Route 17 and part of CT Route 84. It’s given me a serious crisis of faith in Waze.

Add an emergency broadcast system for active shooter nearby
My kids go to a TX university where they have a fairly robust emergency broadcast system for students who opt into the service. They are texted when 'authorities' (there are validation cycles/sources) have determined an emergency situation is in process notifying students of an active situation (either active shooter or lockdown for violent person escape/at large).
I know Waze does have some features with other traffic or EMS emergency notification features, but I think there might be a valid case to use the Government and Public Safety alert systems for people who are within a mile of an active shooter situation. (Or whatever distance). If verified information through Emergency systems tracked to GPS on mobile phones and apps, an emergency alert should sound displaying the map location where the activity is taking place.
Sadly, it has come to the point in this country when going shopping or to a concert may involve an emergency situation. Waze has some available technology to build out this idea quickly (I believe) and also has business relationships with other companies to send emergency messages through devices if the Waze app is not open.

Enable the ‘Reports Ahead’ window to update continuously to show the km/miles to the hazard.
Currently, if you go into the ‘reports ahead’ section it will show you the km to the hazard, but if you leave this window open it doesn’t update the km, you have to exit and go back in again to refresh the distance. Can you please provide auto update of distance on this screen. Thank you.

Uso waze carpool diariamente. Vejo algumas melhorias que abaixo seguem.
1 - pessoa cria perfil falso para ganhar dinheiro e não dar carona
2 - driver enviar carona a um rider > carona é cancelada quando uma outra pessoa pede carona e driver aceita
3 - distância/minutos informados não refletem a realidade
4 - opção de quilometragem de locomoção do rider além da informada (área de abrangência)
5 - possibilidade do driver verificar a real localização de onde o rider deseja ser buscado para otimizar as solicitações
6 - muitos perfis que não respondem e/ou não se interessam em dar carona > exclusão perfil após 2 (dois) meses sem uso
7 - denúncia feita pelo waze deve ser respondida pelo waze, através de chat ou ainda via whtsapp... e-mail não é efetivo (volume alto de e-mails impedem que pessoas vejam e, portanto, respondam)
8 - enviar localização para que a pessoa veja onde a outra está de fato.
9 - verificar a localização do drive em tempo real.1 - pessoa cria perfil falso para ganhar dinheiro e não dar carona

Change Dangerous Direction Given by Waze
Near Brandon Florida a direction is given to take Dali Drive to reach Bloomingdale Avenue. If directions are followed and one is turning left, one is forced to cross 4 lanes with very poor visibility! If the app instead directed one to drive just 1 block further instead, the left turn can be made safely with the traffic signal.

Waze needs to treat their users better
You bunghole pirates at Waze need to stop requiring access to our address books in order to register. It is low guttersniping to get into our private information. It's back to Google maps for me. I might come back... if Waze ever develops a social conscience.

Auto removal of notifications of police etc
When the pop up comes on the screen it should automatically go away once you pass the locations. Having to touch the screen takes your eyes off the road

You guys are scammers with an app that DOES NOT work. All it does is make you go in circles, waste your money, your gas, and make you late.
You guys fucking suck at your job

I suggest Waze adds a property to each tts term
I suggest Waze adds a property to each tts term, allowing editors to choose, for example, between 'Houston [pronunciation 1 {hues-ton}]' and 'Houston [pronunciation 2{house-ton}]' and so on. One region could default to [P1], while another could default to [P2] but exceptions could be specified.
I'll bet that a lot of what is needed to support the idea is already part of Waze because of the different languages supported. This could be an expansion of that support.1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.
