  1. I'd like to be able to add a stop along a drive in the Android Auto implementation.

    In the normal Waze UI, I can add a stop along my trip. In Android Auto, I cannot do this. The Google Navigation app on Android Auto allows it and makes the UI for such a feature pretty simple to manage.

  2. Waze for the handicapped

    I think it would be extremely beneficial for Waze to expand its horizons to help handicapped people find accessible routes to make their commute easier. Even seemingly mundane tasks become arduous given that every navigation system is catered toward visibly able individuals. Maybe partner up with the commuters themselves and create these routes! Google maps should install this feature, pronto.

  4. Reminder button for editors

    As an editor, when I'm driving, using the app, when I see something that I need to add or fix later in the editor, I have to takes my eyes off the road while I find and press five buttons, type a brief reminder, then press Send.

    For users who are also editors, could you add a "Reminder" button to the screen after the orange button (the screen with the Traffic, Hazard, Map Issue, etc buttons), that will simply leave a "Reminder" UR, with the editor's userid filled in.

  5. Tell Wazers to form a rescue alley in a traffic jam

    When you are in a traffic jam you have to form a rescue alley (in germany and many other countries). But nobody is doing so. That's making it hard for the ambulance to reach the injured people.

    Please tell the wazers to form a rescue alley when waze recognizes a traffic jam.

  6. Tunnel Navigation bluetooth OBDII

    Typically GPS signal is lost in long tunnels. Why not include a waze connection to a bluetooth enabled OBDII device in your car to give accurate speed. The direction is immaterial as the tunnel path is well known.The devices are cheap about $5 to $20 on ebay. Waze would benefit by knowing speed through tunnels. Yes, beacons are good, but not if they are sparsely placed.

  8. Sharing anonymized GPS data

    This message concerned potential ConnectedCitizens partners. Uber just allow sharing their GPS anonymized data : https://movement.uber.com/cities . I think Waze should look into that possibility for ConnectedCitizens partners as this data has great interest for different transportation planning purposes. It could allow analyzing weaving highway section or origin-destination major interchange movements. Thanks for considering this possibility.

  9. Replace car on shoulder with person on shoulder

    It's damn annoying having car on shoulder reports every 3 min while in major city's. If a car is ok the shoulder that's not a hazard unless a person is outside of their car. Just replace car on shoulder with person on shoulder. Then there will be less alerts.

  10. 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

  12. MORE navigation options, in addition to shorter time or distance

    I would LOVE for waze to have multiple options for routes. For instance :
    Standard options:
    - shortest distance
    - shortest time
    Standard avoids :
    - avoid toll roads
    - avoid highways

    New ones:
    - least turns
    - least traffic lights ;

    New avoiding routes:
    - avoid construction routes
    - avoid one lane streets
    - avoid streets with traffic moving slower than

    All of these should be able to mix and match and specify further details. For instance it would be great if it showed option to list trips within X percent of time to shortest time trip. It can…

  13. Alerts based on Route

    Since Waze has the ability to track your trips I came up with this.

    Lets say you drive to work everyday. You know their are 5 Speed Cameras, 4 Construction Zones and 6 Potholes. Waze should automatically disable it's alerts if you are familiar with the Route.

    Lets say it disables it when Waze knows you have been on the same Route for at least a week.

    Now if for example later on in the future there is a new Construction, or SpeedCamera installed on the same route it alerts you since it's new.

    This would eliminate the need to…

  14. "Workers on road side"

    Can you add a "workers on side of road" choice under "hazard"? Often times when I'm driving I see workers on the side of the road mowing grass or something like that. I would like to have the ability to warn other drivers that there are people in close proximity to the road / work going on that's not exactly on the road.

  15. Turning notifications when screen off

    It would be great to have a turning notification with a full screen pop up when the screen is off. That can appear like 1 Km before turning and coming black when done. Keeping the screen always on like the smartphone is a navigator is a kind of waste of battery!

  17. Traffic green light forecaster

    How accurately waze could be able to forecast green lights?
    When a wazer gets a green light, she will start moving. If this information is collected from several wazers, would it be enought to gather the traffic light interval and after that forecast next turn-to-green moment?

    If this is possible, the next wazer could be given information if she need to accelerate or decelerate to arrive on greens. Following theses advices, she could get a green wave throught any wazer-populated city ;-)

  18. Alert No Longer There

    I might have missed the feature -if it exists- to report that an Alert is no longer where it is reported. This would be police, accidents, obstacles, etc. On the other hand, the app may have some way to statistically do that; ie if there have been no "thumbs up" for a period of time, the Alert no longer exists.

  19. Danger level routes

    Hi there,
    I love Waze and use it everywhere in the world, mainly Africa and South America where traffic can be hectic... But also dangerous.
    I would love to have the option in Waze to chose a route depending on how dangerous the area to cross is.

  20. Being able to report an incident from anywhere

    I would like the ability to report an incident from anywhere on the map. i.e. If I am driving down the road and I see an accident, but because I am driving, I am not able to report it at that moment. If I pull up to a red light, I would be able to zoom in on the map on the app and report it. I have tried to do this before, but, I just wound up reporting an accident of where I currently was instead of where I was zooming in on the map. I believe this is…
