Hey,
Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
Thanks!

Overview
Waze is already a powerful tool for navigation and real-time traffic updates. However, for users who need to visit multiple destinations in a single day—such as professionals managing appointments, delivery drivers, or individuals running several errands—current functionality is limited. A feature that integrates multi-stop planning with time management would add significant value.
Proposed Functionality
Destination Input
Allow users to enter multiple destinations for a single trip.
Specify a starting location and an end destination.
Time Management Options
Enable users to define how much time is required at each stop.
Optionally allow setting hard deadlines/arrival times for particular destinations.
Dynamic Route Optimization
Automatically calculate the most efficient route between all stops, factoring in traffic and deadlines.
Update the schedule dynamically as the user progresses through the trip.
User Feedback and Alerts
Provide ongoing ETA updates across all planned stops.
Notify users if they risk missing a deadline or if route adjustments are needed to stay on track.
Benefits
Efficiency: Users can maximize productivity by optimizing travel across multiple destinations.
Reliability: Assists with meeting time-sensitive obligations (e.g., store closing times, scheduled appointments).
User Engagement: Enhances Waze’s value proposition beyond point-to-point navigation, making it indispensable for daily planning.
Conclusion
A multi-stop planning feature with time management tools would address a real need among users with complex daily travel schedules. By combining route optimization with live traffic updates and time-based alerts, Waze could deliver a best-in-class solution for productivity and efficiency on the road.
