r/waze

My typical, and most often mistake ridden routing:

Long time user, 5+ years two different weekly 1 hour big city commute. No construction changing up the streets.

1. Routing has gotten weird, in asking me to exit a freeway onto side streets instead of taking a ramp connecting 2 freeways. A perfectly clear ramp, without extra traffic to trigger an early exit. As in always.

2. Very slow to update the plan when I do take the secondary route. As in it will prompt exiting and u-turning to get back on the initial route. This when 1 of the alternates offered is faster, that I am already on - it takes while to re-route to the route I am driving. Once it does, after ignoring a couple u-turn routes - it will go to the plan and drop minutes off the ETA.

Others experiencing really poor routing the last couple of months?

I do not have time to help them debug all this, but I do have time to complain on Reddit. Hahahha.

Waze live-map on the browser is not showing any reports even when Waze on my phone shows there are reports. This is the screenshot from my laptop

And this is the screenshot from my phone at the same location.

There is clearly one police and traffic report that do not show on waze.com/livemap Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong?

I've got voice set to normal, not less chatty, but I don't get alerts to turn until I'm on top of the intersection and unable to change lanes to take the turn. I used to get this alert hundreds of feet earlier. This seemed to start months ago, but I keep forgetting to ask about it. (I don't drive much and rarely go new places, but it happened a couple of weeks ago when I took a friend from out of town to his hotel.)

if i do a roadtrip and i keep a single highway should i remove gps for a while or something or anything if it's a straight line

They need to add a tag and icon for Flock Cameras.

Hi for some reason I can't make calls with Google assistant or Gemini while I am in Waze. I always get the message "sorry I don't understand"

It 1dt started happening on my Samsung Galaxy a54 and now I have upgraded my phone to a pixel 10 and I am still getting this problem.

I have tried fixing permissions but maybe I am just not doing it right. I honestly don't know.

Has anyone else had this issue and hopefully knows how to fix it please.

Thanks.

Heyyyyy
Anybody else having issues where waze opens but freezes when trying to enter an address or landmark??? It started this maybe a month ago.
I'm using waze on 12 pro max, ios 18

Hello, I have a small EV motorcycle, which has a limited range of 40 miles.

I would love an app that:

A ) Defaults to the shortest distance.

B ) Stops automatically updating the route mid journey.

Traffic is irrelevant for me as filtering is legal here in London, UK, hence the shortest distance is always the quickest, but also vital for me to ensure I get home within my EV range.

Current apps constantly update the route when I have already chosen it by distance.

Waze is the only app I've found which has motorcycle mode- will it prioritise the points above?

Waze user for more than 10 years, maybe more. But from recently Waze is always using main roads and leading me to congestion.

It is showing when I will get to finish, but puts me in blockage and adding time for going through it. On the beginning there were other routes which were slower, but adding this congestion time were faster.

Hi, anyone able to fix the bug for speed alert for adnroid auto. Using samsung s25 not working...

Does Waze support directional arrows in the gauge cluster?

Google and Apple Maps both show arrows. Waze just shows a blank space where the others have an arrow.

Update: the feature appears to be called TBT: Turn-By-Turn Arrow Feed. Supposedly Waze added it in version 5.4 and they’re up to 5.22.

Looks like even if you have a Waze map in the gauges, it doesn’t mean Waze TBT supports your car or the car supports Waze. Can’t figure out who’s supposed to do the enabling, Waze or the car co.

What does it take to move up from level 4 to level 5? Or from/to any two levels for that matter? Just curious as I've been a level 4 Wazer for quite a while. Thanks all!
