1. Adding voice assistant

   There should be an option to activate the voice control automaticaly, just like you wake ip "alexa" or "siri", just saying "Hi waze" should be enough in order to do anything within the app.
   Navigating to a new location, adding a stop, finding parking spots/gas stations nearby, report traffic or anything else

   Great thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

2. Update map

   Hello,

   I’m reporting this here as I do not use Waze (I don’t drive) and there is no other option available. I’ve experience so many issues with Uber and Lyft drivers using Waze for pick up at Century Plaza Towers in Los Angeles (2029 Century Park east, la, ca, 90067). The cross street (Century Park east and constellation) is blocked due to construction and has been for over a year now. Can you please update your maps to reflect this so drivers don’t continue to take this street and waste time.

   Thanks!

3. Parked Time/Timer

   Maybe add a time and timer for when you parked and how long you’ve been parked?

   Some parking areas require you to move your car at certain times — for example, some places only allow parking for 2 hours, 2.5 hours, or even less or more. It would be useful to have that kind of timer.

   Normally, when I’ve parked, I just close the Waze app and don’t click on “Parked.”

   It would be useful to have this feature in the Waze app, and for it to show on the phone’s lock screen?

   Example on lockscreen:

   Parked at: 14:32

   Parked for: 00:14:24 (14minutes)

   I think it will be really useful and helpful!!

   Wouldn't even mind paying for this, but has to be a one-time payment.

4. Parking route

   It would be great if, once you arrive near your destination, Waze could guide you through nearby areas with available parking. The app should take you on circular routes that always bring you back to your arrival point, dynamically adjusting the path if necessary.

   Imagine a city with a grid layout of intersections:

   You arrive at point A and select an option from a pop-up indicating that you need to find parking. Waze directs you to take a loop around the block to the upper left, bringing you back to point A. If no parking is found, the app adjusts the route and takes you around the block to the lower left. This process continues automatically, exploring different areas until a parking spot is found (hopefully).

   This way, parking searches are more structured, efficient, and keep you oriented near your destination.

5. Sloping / inclined streets

   In Latam and some other cities I have known, there are streets with inclines of more than 15° and some vehicles cannot drive up these roads due to several factors.

   1) low power vehicles
   2) Motorcycles
   3) climatic factors that prevent the vehicle to go up this road.
   4) vehicles parked on the sides that prevent other vehicles from passing.

   It would be interesting to make waze as well as avoid freeway roads we can add the inclination and avoid it.

   May be considered  ·  AdminElla (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

   Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

6. Add arrive button

   Sometimes when arriving at very large places, Waze thinks that you arrive only when you are in the front door of the place. Think for example in a mall, the parking lot will be huge, but Waze already traced the route until the front door.
   An "arrive" button will help Waze to understand that you are already at your destination and there is no need to recalculate the route while you are looking for a parking spot

7. Shipping Locations: Optional Photo

   By submitting via a local application, make mandatory the address location of the fill and make sending the photo an optional, because sometimes we have the time and calm to report when we got inside the place, or parked in a location that does not have the ability to send the photo of the facade, or is night, it's raining etc ...
   This prevents photos "nothing", interior or wrong.
   Thus, passing the place, you could have an option to skip the photo, in the address field, making it mandatory.

8. Make non-residential place addresses indexed and routable

   Editors spend much time adding RPPs to public places because the addresses in the place points are not indexed/routable and the HNs won't connect to the parking lot roads. Plus if routing uses the Google Maps address we spend more time handling URs because the Wazer got routed to the back of the location rather than the front door. This is an absurd waste of time, and adds untold complexity and clutter to the map. Please expand the place addresses to allow for suite numbers or other identifiable info where businesses share the same basic as GM already does, and then make these addresses indexed and routable. This would eliminate a huge amount of editor frustration, not to mention freeing up a huge amount of time that can be used for other needed editing. If Waze is unwilling to create an indexed and routable database for non-residential place addresses then let's just use GM's database and fix the location errors in it.

9. Stop navigation once you're "close enough" to the destination

   Waze should have an option where it stops trying to re-route once you're close to the destination, especially when it is not possible to actually drive to the exact entry point for whatever reason.

   Context:

   I've got someone who has brought up routing issues to their destination a few times, and at least two or three local editors have made various changes. They now again have been saying that once they arrive, Waze wants them to exit the parking lot again, and make a huge detour just to return again to where they are already located.

   I am convinced this is a combination of perhaps somewhat imprecise GPS, one-way parking lot roads, and the exact location of the destination entry point. But obviously they are where they need to be and are just being picky!

   A similar situation is when the app wants you to drive to the front door of the store, but you're quite content having parked a short distance away.

10. Alert drivers that a street they are about to take is extremely steep and their car might not make it up.

    Alert drivers that a street they are suggesting is extremely steep and that a car might not make it up that steep street. I have recently daily watched cars on a local street in Echo Park using Waze to get around traffic only to be directed up one of the steepest streets in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, unless they have a new car with great tires and transmission many are getting stuck on street on the way up. It is actually funny when I have talked to the people they all say that Waze directed them up this street. I bet the tow companies are loving all the extra work. However, it is just plain dangerous and Waze should be concerned and more responsible and just simply post a warning so that people are not ruining their cars. Or maybe, if not, they could pay for people's $3,000 new transmissions. Just saying the first choice of just posting what a street may look like, might just be the responsible thing for a company to do.

11. 2 Ideas!

    Hi, ive got two ideas: 1. When starting a new ride from a parking car, Waze does not know which direction the vehicle is facing. And because of Murphy's rules, most of the time it will plan the opposite route :) My suggestion is: before starting navigation I will have the option to calibarate the direction my vehicle facing (button that using the internal compass) . and now that Waze can understand that im facing east for example it can plan the right route. 2. adding an option so Waze know im driving a motorcycle so it can plane the route without considering traffic like a car. u r great, Thanks!

    Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

    As for the idea with adjusting car facing direction, it is under consideration.

12. Simplify Wazer and Editor workflow for residential places

    The current method for a wazer to add their home to the map is confusing and creates more work for waze map editors. The workflow for a wazer is similar to this:

    Wazer selects the yellow triangle (if it's displayed on their map)

    Next selects "Place"

    (now it is about to get really confusing)

    Wazer must take a picture

    The next screen says "Select Place" with a text field that says "Enter Place name".
    
    For a residence, the wazer should not enter a place name. Just below the text field there is apparently a "button" that if tapped will add "This is a residential place".

    But if the wazer enters a place name in the text field above, there is then no option to select the button "This is a residential place"

    Based on the volume of PURs where wazers are trying to add a residence to the map, most are entering a place name and never realize that they should have tapped "This is a residential place".

    Next they are asked to select a category. Since there is no category for an RPP, they must choose the best from a list that isn't helpful for an RPP.

    Making matters worse, the first listed category is "Parking Lot" and again, based on the large volume of PURs for residences, it appears that most wazers select the first choice : "parking lot"

    Now more work is created for the Waze map editor because as long as the PUR says "parking lot" the option to "convert to residential/private address" is not available. so the editor must first remove the parking lot category before the place can be converted to an RPP.

    It would be much simpler and reduce workload for editors if the app just gave a wazer a much more clear path when all they wanted to do was add their home to the map.

    Instead of asking them for a name of the place, ask them if this is a residence or a business. Based on that answer alone, you should be able to much more completely simplify the wazer workflow and the editor work flow.

    thank you.

13. Display time of initial recording

    How about you add in the settings Enable/Disable "Spotted Time". That way someone could see and evaluate how long these new camera vans park there for. It would display the time the first wazer reported it. And should be disabled by Default.

16. Eliminate route

    I am a dog walker in Oceanside California. When coming on Vista Way towards interstate 78 and I 5 north from the west (so traveling east). Waze is often telling me to take the I 5 north ramp and really that is like attempting suicide. I wish they would eliminate that route option.

17. Please let us have the option to show ONLY the speed limit sign.

    Please let us have the option to show ONLY the speed limit sign when using with an Android Auto car or stereo unit. Currently, it shows both or only the speedometer with the speed limit sign too small to see easily. When I first start up and I'm parked on a street that has a speed limit, the sign is nice and big. Once moving though, the speedometer shows up and the limit sign shrinks down to where it's hard to see.

18. Not an idea but no other category worked

    Waze sends you to the wrong location when you type in 901 E State Highway 114, Grapevine, TX, 76051. 901 is the address of Park Place Lexus in Grapevine. The location it sends you to is the Cedar Ridge Office Park at 950 E State Highway 114, Southlake, TX, 76092, about 5 miles further west. In trying to figure out why, I noticed that both Redfin and Zillow mistakenly list Cedar Ridge OP as being at 901. Google has the address correct. My service advisor at Lexus said that the customers who have ended up at the wrong address have all said they used Waze.

19. Appy Parking API

    Integrate the Appy Parking app API into Waze to navigate me to on street parking that is valid from my arrival time. Could also update back into Appy parking to say a bay is in use if a Wazer’s gps location is in that bay then other users would be able to see what bays are likely to be free.

20. Free parking

    I'm a volunteer at the smart campus in my university, and we are developing solutions to transport to/from our campus, hopefully making transit better in the surroundings as well. We'd like to feed waze's system with information about the parking lot occupation, to help students and teacher to fill in free parking spaces faster, and avoid lines in public street lanes, directly avoiding traffic jams.
