Great thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

An error occurred while saving the comment In my view we need the following routing options: a. Left (or right) turns only - to minimise crossing "oncoming" traffic. b. As the crow flies (straightest). c. Minimum turns (even if it is longer). d. Minimum roadworks. e. Minimum traffic. f. Minimum speedbumps (they are seldom correctly marked and damage your car's suspension). g. No dirt roads. h. No toll roads. Currently you only offer dirt/toll avoidance as options, and currently it seems to favour "as the crow flies" which ends up making you perform zigzags through cities. We need more relevant options. I find that just tolerating a traffic jam reduces the number of turns I have to make and generally only wastes 1-2 minutes. I am prepared to take 1-2 minutes longer if I do not have to turn.
An error occurred while saving the comment Quite often, what I do to avoid your routing algorithm's excessive turns, is I will identify a target turning point on the map and use it as a stopover point on the route, to force waze to minimise turns. I can send you screen shots to show you what I mean.

An error occurred while saving the comment Please take the above seriously. It was VERY dangerous. The stopped vehicle was stopped IN THE ROAD but the other TWO were stopped on the shoulder. The middle one was NOT the same as the others but Waze assumed it was, and merged it with the LAST one, which made it especially dangerous because you'd not anticipate it due to the road curve.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi. Currently when you search for a destination and try to navigate to it, it seems to use Waze's maps, which seem to be primarily USA-based. So for example I searched for Boksburg, ZA, and it came up with Bossburg, USA. Surely if Waze knows where I am based on my GPS location, it should search destinations nearer to me? I found that the only way I could get directions to Boksburg, ZA was to switch to google maps. Now, Google maps are more thorough and more widely maintained by a larger community. So it really, to my mind, makes no sense at all to use anything other than google maps. Please make this the default, or at least let users select the default map provider in the preferences. (Oh and show the map fullscreen, not this little postage stamp in the middle).

we have a lot of speedbumps and they're badly marked, hard to see, and inconsistent in height. I often hit them at night because they're hard to see. I'd like them all to be marked. ALL. I am happy to do it, if we can have the edit map function turned on in the gps so I can mark them as I drive.
