SPLIT: Route options
make it easier to see which route is the most economical and which is the fastest. Sometimes I wanna drive economically but it’s harder to see which route is lowest miles.

Type of Route Options Preference settings
I frequently drive a route that gives me the option of taking a toll road or driving on the non-toll route or taking streets - but when I look at the routes available to me, I am not able to compare the time savings of taking the toll road vs the non toll version of the road. I am only able to see toll road, or a street option, or an alternate freeway option. I would really like to be able to see the difference in commute time if I jump in the HOT lane vs not paying toll…

Display route map when planning a future journey
When planning a route in advance, could Waze show the route map in addition to the estimated times for the journey?

Alternative Route
1) Would like to input "Avoid this city/area". For instance Chester,PA supposedly has a "body challenge = body count" confirmed by the Chester Police Dept. where random people in cars are being killed. Would be nice to be able to avoid this city/area if I-95 is closed/blocked. 2) ALSO, would be great to log in an alternative route and SAVE IT with a name you choose. Thx so much! I LOVE Waze. Waze rocks!

Show potential variance in route time
It seems that Waze picks the best route at the time navigation starts.
With all the timing and route information that Waze and Google collects, it should be easy to calculate a good variance for the time of day.
It might be nice if Waze could display a midspread or "middle 50%" time, i.e. the time estimate for 50% of all drivers on that route at that time of day.
So maybe below the estimated arrival of "9:02", it would show "(9:00 - 9:15)"
It'd be even better if it took this into consideration when routing, like preferring a "9:03…

Providing an alternative route if vehicle dimensions don't match
Waze would be even more impressive if the dimensions of the vehicle could be added by the owner of the vehicle. Thus providing safety entering tunnels, small roads etc and more important providing an alternative route

Community-generated driving route recommendations
Is it possible for Waze (though, this definitely needs approval and careful study) to include a feature for the drivers to suggest or make possible route recommendations? Anyway, Waze is community-generated. Google search results are often inaccurate, based on the reports that we have been receiving.
As the driver, always (or often or most of the time) know the possible route or driving direction. And possibly with this, other wazers will be able to contribute to the route. A wazer may suggest a possible route for others to follow.
I just thought of having some sort of 'crowd sourcing'…

Favourite route
I would like to be able to select the route of my choice as my favourite. Having to keep selecting it is annoying.

Add stop along route
It would be nice to be able to use Google Assistant hands free to ask Waze to find a stop along your route like Google Maps does. Right now, if you ask it to find something while you're on a trip, it will just do a generic search that may have results in the opposite direction. On Google Maps, it gives you a list truly along your route and tells you how many minutes it will add to your overall trip. That would be lovely on Waze, please.

Custom Route Colours
I’ve noticed that if you share your current journey with someone then your route line turns green.
This made me realise that this is actually much better than purple for me and think this would be a great option for colour blind users.
Being able to select whatever colour stands out best to you to make your route more clear would be great!

Off Route
It would be beneficial to have Waze alert you when you are (miles) off of your route. Maybe if you get like 5 or less miles off route it alerts you. I ran into this issue while traveling with the sound off because I was on the phone. I would have noticed a pop up...
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.

Route info on widget
Currently the widget displays time to work or home and gives some indication of the traffic conditions. I wish it would show something about which route it chose for that info without having to click the Drive! button.

Reverse route ahead of time
I would like to be able to plan a reverse route ahead of time. This way I will have an idea in advance when I should be leaving my destination to come back home.

If going from/to work/home on preferred route, set audio to "alerts only".
We all go from work/home several times a week, usually by a preferred route, unless there's some traffic jam. I would like that the default audio setting is "alerts only" if I'm driving the route I know REALLY well. If it's rerouting me from my preferred route due to some event, then use whatever method is set for the client.

INDICATION GAZOIL ROUTE
Bonjour étant motarde beaucoup de route on du carburant au sol. Il serait bien de pouvoir le balisé pour éviter d’avoir un accident. Dans la catégorie « objet sur la route » me semble correct.

route calculation on device instead of server
When navigating over longer routes, it takes quite some time before the route is calculated and sometimes a server timeout is the result.
can the option be added to opt for local route calculation? This would significantly reduce server load. The option to cancel an ongoing calculation is also nice with this, as well as the choice for local or server calculation.
why does this calculation happen server wise? is this to reduce the mobile data used on the client as not all traffic info is on the client, but is on the server?

Expose detailed route data on Web dashboard
It'd be great to have specific route times-of-day - not just duration. It would be very useful to compare routes, or the same route, over the course of the day. Perhaps I could learn when would be the best time to start my commute.
