route
I've tried to find a pretty easy route. NYC to Stratton mountain Vermont. It keeps telling me that it can't be done at this time. Sounds like an Eight ball.

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?

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

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.

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.

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...

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.

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'…

Optional "no map" (trip computer) view when route is known
8 out of 10 times I use Waze driving to and from work, a route I know very well so I don't need Waze to show me my position on the map.
What I instead would like is a "trip computer" kind of interface, showing me things like my current speed, current speed limit (if known), maybe a color code for traffic ahead on route (green, yellow, red), ETA, current road name (nice to have, not need to have - I know where I am), live updates of incidents (needs to update themselves automatically), textual navigation instructions like "turn right…15 votes -
Reports/all/On-Route - deleting incidents behind you
"Reports/All/On-Route" shows everything on the route, even those which are now behind you and thus of no interest. These should be removed as you pass them so that you only see what is ahead. At the moment it is too confusing - I shouldn't be looking at the screen to see which reports (if any) are relevant. I can ask it to calculate a new route from where I am and that works (as all reports "on-route" are now ahead of me), but dangerous to do on the move.

Route color coding.
In navigation programs currently route to go is shown in single colour.
It can be colour coded to show descent and ascent, with intensity of colour changing according to steepness.
That would decrease risks when overtaking, as descents are hard to spot, and another car can be hiding there.
Current maps can be updated, when there are changes in altitude not matching ones known in app. No manual work would be needed; averages of reporting can be used.5 votes -

Don’t change the route automatically during trip navigation
I don’t want Waze to change the route automatically without my permission after I chose at the beginning. It happens I choose a ruote and then, just for avoiding few minutes of traffic, I have to pay more highway and more fuel for longer route. I want Waze ask for me permission to change, despite a simple pop up “better route found” in which I can only choose yes, and if I don’t reply yes (of course I m driving) Waze change it automatically. Please make a pop up where if I dont say “yes change route” the …

Routine route driving
As a route driver, i would like to see routes for routine purposes and be able to add multiple locations to a single drive into waze. This would show best routes to go to a routine drive.

Route ideas
Can you make a setting where you can change the route suggested done by the distance rather than the amout of time it takes

Get a list of directions for a given route.
Sometimes it's hard to evaluate a route choice from the descriptions. It would be great if a route could be listed in text (one line per step) so that the route options could be evaluated more easily.

Route color change after we past it
As we all know, from route planning to until we get to the target, the track color is the same (purple by default).
The problem is that the section we past and the section we are going to is in the same color.
Since the software can identify the direction of motion, I suggest that every section of the planned route that we passed will return to normal color of the map or will fade to make a Separation from the section which you are traveling to.
If you navigate while watching briefly on the map from time to time,…7 votes
