Car on right or left side of the road
Letting drivers know what side of the road the car is on.
The first report os just "car is on the the side of the road," once reported the next wazer can confirm which side right or left.
This 2 step reporting is less distracting to drivers32 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Show Roadshields without voice output
It would be great to show Roadshields on the smartphone client without voice output.
At the moment we can show "straight ahead" without voice instruction with the lane assistant tool on WME. This function shows the detail "continue straight" only (without voice output).
It would be great to setup Roadshields and give them a flag "show only, without voice output". Roadshields are a powerful tool and can help to find the right direction. But a voice output isn't necessary always.32 votes -

Custom vehicle
All want different vehicles, is it possible to either take picture of your vehicle or find on net and upload to waze. Then have waze turn it into your vehicle icon vs. The few you have like batman joker etc..
It would make this alot more personal, vs just adding vehicle in setting, which I belive is new.

School bus partnerships
As a parent, and as many otther parents share the same concern, we want to know where our kids are when on a school bus. There are times when buses run an hour late and we have no idea where our kid is. If Waze partnered with bus companies, notifications could be pushed to Waze users who are connected with their children's bus to alert them.

Comments on PURs
It would be nice to have a comment section on a PUR, especially for pictures. It would allow the editors to give a reason why the picture or update is being rejected. So maybe the next time they would try to take a better picture that did not include, faces, license plates, etc. I think this would help the community be more aware of what we as editors can accept. I think being able to tell them the reasons instead of just rejecting it would help more, due to the fact users my be confused or upset that their pictures…

Launch Waze automatically when driving
It's rather annoying for me having to remember to launch the Waze app every time I start driving somewhere. Would it be possible for the app to detect that you are driving and launch automatically? Preferably with as little battery drain as possible.

Allow people to upload their own Waze profile picture (like their car) to get easily identified while driving...
Hi people. Please forgive me for my average English, I'm a French Waze user...
At the moment, the only way to display a picture when clicking on a Wazer is to link your Facebook account with your Waze client.
I guess that a lot of people (like me) don't want to link their Facebook profile with the Waze client or they don't own one.
My idea => Create a function on the Waze client to allow people to upload their own pictures.
The goal => When a Wazer is in the vicinity of your location, you can click on it…

Add the possiblility to use a bluetooth handsfree device
In most of cars there is a telephone hands-free Bluetooth system integrated with the car audio system; it would be great to have the voice message from waze client to go to the Audio system via Bluetooth connection.

Color/Icon for landmarks
It would be great to make different colors for different classes of landmark. Or to use scale-independent icons for (for example) gas stations.
I cannot visually separate the supermarket and it's parking.

New instructions for crossroad junctions/interchange
In the UK, there has been an ongoing debate on the most effective way to map crossroad junctions where drivers have to cross a main road without priority, as shown in this image:
https://imgur.com/bpKJi9RThe default instructions do not include guidance for routes that go straight, leading to URs for missing instructions even when no turns are required. As there's no instruction, the driver may not realise they have to give way/stop, leading to a potential accident.
If we were to add a "Continue" instruction, it may imply priority, which is not the case, and again, this may lead to…

F1 (Formula 1) Collaboration
Would love to see a collaboration with F1 (Formula 1). Since Google already sponsors the McLaren F1 team, it seems like an obvious match. McLaren livery on a F1 vehicle icon and Lando Norris providing voice navigation.
Ideally, all F1 teams would be represented. All teams liveries for vehicle icons and other drivers (or commentator David Croft) for voice navigation would be great!

Time Zones for Planning a Drive
You would think that when you plan a drive and you have to enter the arrival time of your choice that it would take into account different time zones. So if I want to arrive to my destination at 5:45 PM, clearly I mean that time zone. Waze keeps it in the same time zone and unless you are paying super close attention, it’s easy to miss and then you lose an hour because you leave too late if you are going from Central to Eastern and so on and so forth. I’d change that ASAP because it’s a pretty…

Floating window or button
After a new android update the waze no more returns automatically to be an active window. I think it's a good idea to show floating button to return to waze or show floating window with active navigation.
