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.

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.

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.

שיפור בתוכנה
כאשר המערכת נותנת התראה על מכמונת מהירות אפשר להוסיף את המהירות המותרת בכל מקטע.
בכלל היה עוזר אם היה אפשרות לדעת מה המהירות המותרת בכל מקום שנוהגים.
לדעתי זה יכול לתרום להורדה במספר תאונות הדרכים.11 votes -
Traffic Signal Integration
This is a huge undertaking but would be an awesome feature. Waze would have the ability to know when traffic signals are red and green based on Wazers. It can detect a Wazer ahead is stopped at an intersection, and can warn others behind that the signal is Red. This may also impact ETAs as well. In high volume cities like LA, this would be a feasible idea especially during rush hour. However, it may not be realistic at times of lower volume. This could save time, allow for smarter decisions, save gas, and be greener for the entire world!

When a vehicle is broken down in the middle of the road, we aren't able to report it or say which lane is blocked.
When we come up to a vehicle that is disabled in the middle of a road, we can only report it as being on the shoulder. We need to be able to report it as blocking the road and report which lane is blocked/closed.

Please add the destination address to the flag pin
Please add the destination address to the flag pin when you have reached your final destination. Thiswill help tremendously when you are going to a new address. Thanks!

Allow me to delete the hazard "Vehicle stopped on shoulder" without deleting all hazards
You need to be able to split which road hazards you want or don't want. I would kill to be able to stop being told about a vehicle on the shoulder but still be able to know about other hazards. Seriously, if the vehicle is on the shoulder it isn't a hazard.

Important sugestions
Hello!
I would like to give some suggestions that may be useful to users in my country (Brazil) as well as users from other countries, follow:1 Allow an editor (above a certain level) can make permanent markings or review in Map Editor to posteriore examples:
- Mark a speed bump on the road,
- Insert a new gas station on the road,
- Schedule a way as cobblestones, etc.
2 Allow new warnings like:
- Danger -> broken traffic light,
- Speed cameras -> Mobile Camera,
- Danger -> unenlightened Street,
- Danger -> flooding or subject to flooding,
- Danger -> Theft etc.
I ask the cooperation of all, with new ideas in the comments

Make switching avoid highways on/off easier
Often times during my commute I need to know if it's quicker to continue using highways or go local. Currently this means navigating several sub-menus which is distracting, dangerous and sometimes impossible. It would be nice to have a quick option on the home screen so you can compare the ETAs and routes for both highway and local

An option to reduce the thickness size of streets and avenues!! Read the description to see examples!!
This option would greatly help in cases where there are many nearby streets and avenues, and bridges above these streets and avenues, not allowing us to see clearly the way we should go, or if we must keep at right or left on the track.
For example this screenshot:
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-fjkWYPuDEH8/U08lOa1x5qI/AAAAAAAADpY/NXKXb49hviI/w1080-h1920-no/Screenshot_2014-04-16-20-34-32.png...and it gets worse when we are viewing in 3D mode (looks like a big yellow block), as the example of the same avenue:

Of course this option, to reduce the thickness of the streets, would be optional, because in many countries most of the avenues and streets are planned and are far enough from each other, preventing that this kind of confusion occurs during navigation, but for countries where the streets and avenues are poorly planned, this option would be very useful.
Could be something simple, an option called "Thickness Size", with values ranging from: 5 (the current and default size used in waze), 4, 3, 2 and 1, this last being the lowest possible value for thickness size.
Thanks in advance.

Semi-permanent drive location sharing
Allow for multiple options when sharing drive location. Currently friends I want to share with keep getting "request cancelled". We are driving across the country and don't want to have to keep resending new links. I would like to have one I can use over and over with options to stop sharing or refresh to a new link when you want to change who has access or something the like. I think having time limits may be good too. Share my location via this link for 1, 2,...24, 48 hrs (as long as waze is open and sharing is on).
