  1. Crowdsourced GPS signal degradation / interference alerts

    Crowdsourced detection of areas where GPS/GNSS positioning is degraded, unavailable, or potentially affected by interference.

    Today, Waze does an excellent job using aggregated phone motion data to detect traffic speed, crashes, road hazards, and other conditions. A similar approach could help detect locations where many devices suddenly experience degraded GPS quality. The user-facing alert could be simple and non-alarming, such as: “GPS signal degraded ahead” or “Navigation accuracy may be reduced in this area.”

    This would be useful because when GPS fails or becomes unreliable, users often blame the navigation app. A contextual warning would improve user trust, reduce confusion,…

  3. Türkiye: Integrate official Ministry of Interior radar, checkpoint, and average-speed corridor data

    Waze should consider integrating official public traffic-enforcement data for Türkiye from the Turkish Ministry of Interior:

    https://www.icisleri.gov.tr/iller-arasi-radar-ve-kontrol-noktasi-uygulama-sayilari

    This official page allows drivers to view the number of speed corridors, radar controls, and police/gendarmerie control points on selected intercity routes. According to the Ministry page, the data covers traffic applications carried out by Police and Gendarmerie units on the selected route and is refreshed every 30 minutes.

    Adding this data to Waze would be very useful for drivers in Türkiye, especially on intercity routes. The goal would not be to help drivers avoid the law, but to improve road-safety awareness and…

  5. Toggle to avoid turning right/left where there are no traffic lights.

    The ability to toggle on or off to avoid turning left (In right hand drive countries) and right (In left hand drive countries) where there is no traffic lights present. Sometimes waiting at a giveaway to cross traffic can take a lot longer than driving a bit further and turning at a turn signal. Or for those who aren't comfortable. Also, could filter it to only lights with turning lights to be more specific.

  6. Car Play - Heads up Display Integration

    Google maps and Apple maps has this feature.

    With my car, I have a heads up display feature.
    The direction arrows and lane arrows will show up on the heads up display.

    I'm not sure what tech this is actually linking into to do this, but I would love this feature.

  7. Proposal: Improve Access to Event Announcement Pages from the Live Map

    Hello Waze Team,

    Currently, the Waze Live Map does not provide a link button to event announcement pages. In addition, event detail pages do not include a button to return to the Live Map or the event list.

    As a result, when users share an event detail link on social media and others try to check additional road closures afterward, they have no way to navigate back, which causes the experience to break down.

    To improve usability and navigation, I would like to request the following enhancements:

    Add a link button to event announcement pages on the Live Map

    Add…

    On the display on Hyundai android auto (2025 Tucson) the hazard notification button would better put on the lower left of the screen as opposed to the right. it would be less distracting.

  10. Poderia colocar um Pop-up igual a do google Maps. Isso é muito útil

    Poderia colocar uma opção para deixar em pop-up ou janela flutuante para quando saimos do waze ele continua aberto no canto da tela pequeno. Tipo como é no google maps. Se podesse eu colocava um print aqui como exemplo.

  11. Don't detour off tolled highway and back on to save a minute

    This morning waze thought it could save us a minute by directing us to exit the tolled highway. Take some back streets and then put us back on the same tolled highway. It didn't save us time but did cost us twice the amount for the trip.

    Waze should not detour off and on tolled roads for insignificant time saving.

  13. Add the option for wrong speed on the map issue button.

    A lot for UR are made for a wrong speed limit. It would me useful if the driver could report a wrong speed limit with the proper button, under the "Map Issue" button in the report section. This addition could reduce significantly the time between the report and the map update, because a lot of time the map issue are send but not actively followed by the reporter, the editor remains with no clue about what the UR is about.

  15. Crisis Shelters listed in a side column

    Since we have been able to create and push [crisis] shelter pins on our own, managing them has proven to be a challenge.

    What I would like to see is a sub category for "Shelters" in say the Events side panel for where we can have filters (like within other WME side panels) that would allow us to show/filter through what's open, what's closed and be able to click through to that location to turn it off/on

    We now have a good list of past shelter centres, which are often the same during the next emergency, so having this filterable…

  17. Do not automatically re-add a deleted GeoClosure RTC

    Once a GeoClosure RTC is deleted, it should not be automatically re-added to the map.

    1) It interferes with adding the actual RTC, where it will be automatically re-added during the process of adding the actual RTC which most of the time involve the painstaking process of selecting many segments, only to get hit with a "overlapping time" error.

    2) Occasional issue of an inaccurate RTC reported, and is being removed by an editor with on-the-ground knowledge. Only L5 and SM+ are able to add RTCs in Malaysia, surely these editors are more trustworthy on the ground than users who…

  19. € per minute saved for highway route with tolls

    I find myself always going against Waze’s route on my daily commute, because it suggests taking the highway right at the start of the journey, instead of going a bit by the main road until the next city and then joining the highway. This happens because the highway is the fastest route, but the other option is just 4 min extra time in the morning and saves 2 euros in tolls which is half the cost of the journey, if I would take the 100% highway route.
    There could be a feature, where I could say how much 1euro should…

    I have “avoid toll roads” enabled but Waze still includes them. It’d be great if I could “drag” my route and save it as my preferred route.
