  1. "alerts only" mode should include rerouting notifications

    Currently, there are 3 sound modes, which is great. "On", "Off" and "Alerts Only". I use "On", when I've never been there before and "Alerts Only" during my daily commute. I love the Alerts Only mode for a daily commute. Problem is, sometimes Waze sees an issue ahead during my commute and only makes a screen notification. I'd really want to be alerted about that.

    So I'd like "Alerts Only" to consider a rerouting notification as an alert and not 'normal' navigation instructions.

  2. Avoid Parkways

    Is there a way to avoid Parkways? A lot of times we can't take them if we have a trailer.

  3. STOP sign icons at roads with stop signs 🛑

    Stop sign icons at roads with stop signs. I often switch to Google maps while in the city because a lot of roads in my city will have no stop signs for 3-4 cross streets, then bam a stop sign. A lot of stop signs are obacured also. The city doesn't keep up with keeping them visible.

  4. 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/bpKJi9R

    The 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…

  5. Update the car play / android auto app of Waze

    Waze should be updated for car play user and android auto. We do not have full functionalities like the iOS or android mobile app. For example we can only report police, not hides ones or in the opposite side. Same for errors in the map, we can’t add a commentary if we use car play for example. All iOS and android fonctionnalités should be added to car play and android auto to have a 100% good,experience.

  6. Combine waze and google maps

    It would be better to allocate servers for long trips as well. It would make Waze better. Also, why not incorporate the waze reporting and crowdsourcing features into Google maps?  I would even pay a monthly subscription for that.

  7. Allow Waze to resume my route after I stop.

    When I stop along my route, Waze doesn't resume my route when I get back in the car. I have to re-program the route. This will force me to return to Google Maps as my travel app when I'd prefer to use Waze.

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. Pouvoir passer à différents modes voiture, vélo, caravane ou encore piéton.

    Pouvoir passer à différents modes voiture, vélo, caravane ou encore piéton. Mon vieux Gps Mio le faisait... c'était pratique. Le mode taxi ne concerne qui dans l'état actuel ? Un mode caravane aiderait aussi bien les conducteurs avec une caravane ou les Camping-cars en permettant d'avoir des axes principaux, ce pour éviter la déconvenue de petites routes de campagne, pas toujours aisées pour circuler avec les attelages et je dirai même bien souvent un calvaire.

  12. Sir David Attenborough's voice

    I find Sir David Attenborough's voice on the TV very calming. It's like being read a fairy tale to. I would love to hear him in my Waze. No more road rage

  14. Quick Route Refresh Button

    I'd like to see a quick route refresh button on the primary map screen during navigation that I can tap once to force the current route to refresh. I'm often in the midst of a route that I can see is starting to become a bad idea, but the Waze app isn't adjusting for the oncoming traffic issues. If I go in and choose navigate and refresh the route it will often give me an updated route. It would be great if I can accomplish this with a quick route refresh button right there on the map screen.

  15. 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.

  16. revised location for hazard reporting control

    Could you move the control for reporting a road hazard to the bottom left of the display(closer to the driver). This goes for the is it still there prompt.

  18. Natural gas on Brazil

    hello you all... so, I'm a brazilian wazer, and here we have another type of fuel, GNV, that means Vehicle natural gas. It's a kind of metano gas, we have a lot of reserves, it's the cheaper fuel that we have here.
    so, I understand that the app cannot be changed just for one country. my suggest is that here, in brazil, at the end of the gas station, we can put the acronym GNV, and the other wazers that use this fuel can know that is a gas station that can supply that fuel

  19. Add 'beep only' option to the sound options

    I now have the options: no sound / alerts only / sound on. I'd like a quiet mode, but I don't want to miss navigation cues. A beep only mode would be nice.

  20. 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…
