  1. User defined low speed input for better accuracy in journey time.

    Not all vehicles can travel at the posted speed limit. Some are limited by type or load. It would be cool if Waze could accommodate this and give an accurate ETA based on the planned speed of the vehicle, rather than the posted limit. For example, the maximum legal speed limit for any vehicle towing a trailer is 80 km/h on all roads in Ireland. Similar restrictions apply to HGV's. A reduced speed field at the start of a route plan would be great for all those drivers.

  2. Sub selection of points under one POI umbrella. Like a mall with multiple entrance points

    If i choose to go to a mall, it takes me to main entrance. But a user might wish to go to a specific gate of the mall, In this case, once a user selects mother POI, a popup of gates appears for user to choose

  3. Low clearance road

    Good morning, everyone!
    I would like to suggest adding a “low-clearance road” warning or avoidance option in Waze. Some roads are not suitable for sports cars or vehicles with low ground clearance, and ending up on one can cause drivers to get stuck, leading to backups or unnecessary delays for others who follow the same route.
    It would be very helpful if Waze offered an option - when starting a drive - to avoid low-clearance roads, similar to avoiding dirt roads or tolls. This would improve routing accuracy, prevent traffic issues, and help protect vehicles that are more sensitive to…

  4. Allow the user to spot unexistent speed track assigned on the map

    Allow the user to spot errors on the map specifically regarding if permanent speed traps assigned on the map actually exist or not. Nowadays, such an error is spotted as a general error on the map.

  6. Pontos de recarga de carros elétricos

    O waze poderia mostrar pontos de recarga elétrica veicular em seus mapas, cada vez mais aumenta o numero de pontos de recarga e a venda de veículos híbridos e elétricos, e nesse ponto indicaria qtd de pontos e a potência do carregador, dando a opção de colocar o preço do KW.

  9. Informacion Sobre semaforos.

    Buenas,

    Quería proponer una mejora relacionada con los semáforos que se pueda ver en la app de mobil que seria muy util, actualmente en Waze están como elemento visual en el mapa, pero no aportan información útil en la conducción.

    Creo que sería muy interesante implementar información más “inteligente” sobre los semáforos, por ejemplo:

    Aviso de semáforos con ciclos largos (los típicos que te hacen esperar bastante)
    Indicación de si un semáforo va a cambiar pronto (especialmente útil en ciudad)
    Posibilidad de mostrar un contador o estimación del tiempo restante en rojo/verde (si hay datos disponibles)
    Aviso preventivo de semáforos…

  10. Map Display - Hotels

    Would be helpful for Waze to display on cell/vehicle map area hotels, just like you do with filling stations. Garmin does it.

    Justification: It's troublesome having to stop the vehicle on the side of the road just to search the web for local hotel locations while on a road trip. Quite time consuming.

  11. Allow user to switch Google Street View provider

    The most GPS-ically perfect street view images are provided by Google Street View, however, there are also volunteers who contribute their street view imagery to Google but lack perfect GPS linkage with the imagery.

    Allowing users to switch the imagery by providing the option will significantly cut off the time for searching the particular imagery provider, where the editors are currently switching imagery by dropping the man icon over the streets manually to check the provider.

  12. Editor drop pin on app

    It would be great if Editors could have a "pin" button on the app drive screen. Sometimes when driving I come across a map error or some feature not existing on the map that would be good to add (like new speedbumps, changes in speed limits etc).

    At the moment Editors would either have to wait for someone else to report the change, or they need to log a General map error, which takes a few screens to complete on the app. This is quite a dangerous situation as your eyes will not be on the road but trying to…

  13. Show when a driven editable area will expire

    When you gain an editing area by driving, WME never tells you when it will be taken away. The only way to know is to remember the date of every trip you made, which is not realistic. In practice editors discover the loss after the fact, sometimes in the middle of handling a UR that can then no longer be closed.

    The information already exists on Waze's side: those areas are derived from dated drives, and WME already shows that drive history to the editor in "My drives". What is missing is simply surfacing the resulting date.

    What would help,…

  14. Option to add roads to avoid

    When we go through a road and it is very bad, we may not want to use it again in the near future. We should have an option to add that road to avoidance.

  15. place destination counter for the last 30 days

    Selecting a Waze place could show the amount of route requests in the last 30 days that had the exact Waze place as a destination.

    This would be quite informative and could give us editors an insight on how demanded an entry is.

    The "save as draft" button keeps the changes made but not yet saved, so that they can be resumed at a later time or continued on another device.

  19. Display state instead of country when zoomed out

    If a country uses states then when between zoom levels 5/6 to 10 it should say the state name rather than country name. Once you are zoomed out past level 5 or 6 then it should start saying the country name.

    E.g. More useful to know I am looking at Queensland instead of Australia at this zoom level

    But more useful to know I'm looking at Australia at this zoom level

  20. Allow un-checking Segments layer to be persistent

    When using Street Vector Layer I turn off the Segments layer but each time a hard refresh is required (which is far too often) the Segments layer is re-activated by default. Please allow the setting for the Segments layer to be persistent.
