New icon for waze. I need help icon.
This new icon will be selected if you're on the road and run into trouble, broke down, need gas, car trouble. Any one else in the area would see the "i need help icon" and would be able to help if they can. It would be a great way to increase our local community of wazers. What do you think?

choose navigation type on navigation screen and on route picker
To switch between Shortest or Fastest you have to go into settings->navigation->type and choose shortest or fastest. I often switch between these modes when picking my route so it would make sense to have that option available in the same screen as where the routes are chosen AND on the "navigate to" screen.

Option to DISABLE auto-return to "Me on map"
If the map is centered on a position far from my current location, the client returns to me on map after a few seconds. This is good only some of the time. If I'm PURPOSELY panning on the map, then the client SHOULD NOT return to me on map. This is just plain annoying, and requires me to pan back to the location that I was just examining.

Change Road Hazard
Under road hazard / side of road. Remove missing sign. Add Tractor/Trailer. If I am new to a area I really wouldn't know what sign is missing and if I am from the area I probably wouldn't notice it missing. We see more cars on the side of the road but the big rigs are bigger and more likely to be hanging out in traffic,

To be able to fix a destination by a button " Target GPS " when we arrive at destination?
It would be interesting to be able to fix a destination by a button " Target GPS " when we arrive at the destination with WAZE. In this manner, we could very precisely memorize a point of arrival in the favourites.
What do you think about it?

Please make next steps quick/easy to see
In heavy traffic, one often has to know about upcoming turns well in advance to get into the correct lane. But to see upcoming nav steps in Waze requires clicking to the menu, then swiping to the second page, then clicking Nav List -- way too many steps. Please make it easy to see the next step or whole list from the main screen. I suggest enabling a jump to the nav list if the user clicks on the name of the next street. (I intuitively try this; may have been default functionality on a prior GPS.)

Auto-Brightness Bug
I've uncovered a bug in the iOS version. Somehow, Waze is disabling the auto-brightness feature on my iPhone. I've restored my phone twice now due to this issue, and the last time I did so I installed no other apps other than Waze to see if it would happen again....it did.
The phone shows that auto brightness is turned on, but it does not function - i.e. it simply stays at whatever brightness it is set to regardless of the ambient light. Couldn't find a place to post the bug on your site, so thought I'd put it here!
Thanks!!!

Limit voice direction repeats
We need an option where we can limit the number of times the Voice directions tell us to "Keep right," etc. If you tell me the exit to take, I don't need you to tell me to "Now exit," and then "Keep the left." It becomes extremely annoying. If some people like it, that's fine, but we should have the option to limit.

Report Extended Events
There are construction areas (for example) which stretch some length (a mile or more). It would be great to report these as an extended region, not a single point, since they're usually accompanied by a lower speed limit. They might be activated by an upward gesture of the report button (as opposed to the sideways gesture that the iPhone currently supports for traffic reporting).

Improvement needed
I was checking out waze and I was really impressed... I felt like the waze experience was incomplete without a proper feedback. Hence I decided to give you guys a few suggestions on it: 1) Pls include downloading of maps of a certain area or preferably offline caching of Entire maps. 2) I noticed that initially the direction of the heading was wrong 4 out of 5 times, thus why not included an optional magnetic correction as it will definitely remove this error.

Different preferences while navigating
There are several settings that I want to change according to whether or not I am navigating to a destination. Please give up options like "on when navigating, off when not navigating" in addition to the existing "on"/"off" options.
For example, I should be able to make the following settings:
North Up when not navigating; actual or desired travel direction up when
navigating;2D view when not navigating; 3D view when navigating;
Auto zoom off when not navigation; Auto zoom by distance when navigating.

Show small roads in rural areas
The Waze client, and also the "live map" on the web site, hides smaller roads as you zoom out. This is fine in cities where there are many roads. However, in rural areas, the small roads are simetimes the only roads, and if they are hidden then the map can appear completely blank.
I suggest changing to an algorithm that takes the amount of clutter into account. Something like "first disply the major highways; if the screen is not yet too cluttered then also display the minor highways; if the screen is not yet too cluttered then also display the…

Improve spoken voice prompts speed
I often find that when driving at speeds faster than 50mph and approaching roundabouts(slowing down of course) off slip roads from dual carriageways/ Motorways often the voice prompts are to slow in mentioning in what turn I need resulting in me needing to go around the roundabout twice to understand the given direction or as the case in the last few days actually being told which turn whilst on the roundabout going past the turn I needed!!
Please look into this as my Garmin unit still gets used a lot because of this problem making it sometimes unsafe to consider…

Ability to track multiple vehicles.
I use Waze in my car when visiting clients. I would like to be able to track which car I am in. This would let me track mileage reports per vehicle, and see what trips I made with which vehicle.

report route change due to traffic
It happens a lot that the route is taking me to a heavy traffic road. I turn to avoid it, but can't report it. It would be great to have a pop-up when avoiding the suggested route to ask if it's due to traffic

Are you in traffic?
When the system asks if you are in traffic?? you can answer yes or no. For the amount of times that you have stopped for a coffee or gas and there is no traffic...instead of the system assuming you are and then saying that "First street" is at a standstill...make the automatic answer no, then if we are we can answer yes. I think this will reduce the fake high traffic areas people complain about

Add a grid on the background instead of the uniform grey colour.
This would increase the "sensation" of perspective and, if the grid is at fixed size (example 100x100 meters) would also help in understanding how much space there's before next turn/crossroad/stop....
