Update the Reports list screen without having to leave it and display it again
I like to use the report list view instead of the map view. The distances to the reported items should be updated in real time as I am getting nearer or further. Currently the list is static.

Turn reminder if been on road with no turns for a while
I was on a road that had no turns for about 10 miles and then missed my turn as had not looked at Waze for some time. I have notifications off but thought would be a good idea to set Waze so that if you have not turned for some time could get it to make a noise or something to remind you of the turn up ahead.

Display Speed cameras in driving direction only
Can you please add an option so that Speed cameras are only shown if located on the right side of the road. Speed cams on the other side have no point ! It is disturbing to see you are approaching it and then, it turns out it is on the other side.

I wish to present a new an fundamental to existing Waze functionality
The development will significantly enhance the Waze offering in terms of functionality and the ability to monetize its offering.
It complements existing versions but takes it to a new level and functionality.
I woul request a contact point with Waze management to discuss the initiative.
It's certainly not a an option to discuss via a forum or a discussion group.
Regards,
Gerald Maguire.

Ability to Submit Report from Notification Shade
When Waze is in the background, the only option in the Notification Shade is to "Switch Off". It would be nice to also have a button that would bring you straight to the Report options (i.e, Police, Road Hazard, etc...). This would make it easier to contribute while using other prevalent driving apps like a music player.

It would be nice to be able to change the order of icons on the menu to reflect what you use most. I would like Reports to be closer to Nav

Follow my drive web map should show alerts too
During Follow my Drive, your alerts and comments should be broadcasted too. Many times you're driving ahead of a group, and they want to know how the road conditions are. If your alerts appeared on the FMD web, they could see what you're reporting.
Maybe simply use the real time waze map instead of a blank map, so you can see alerts. Don't forget to include the feature for world.waze.com too and not just for the regular US waze.

Change the name of follow my drive menu category
When I want to share my drive, I have to go to menu - Send - Share my drive.
The menu category should be called "share drive" or something other than "send". Most people see it and say "send... send what?", and don't get it. A more descriptive name on that menu would help.

"Friend Driving" Notification Should Be Adjustable Based On Distance
I don't need Waze to tell me that my friends in New York City or Miami are driving when I am in Toronto, Canada (unless, I guess, if they have set a route to come to Toronto). Waze should allow us to specify how far away a friend can be that it will notify us of the fact that they're driving.

More camera types - security & unknown
Sometimes you just don't know what type of traffic camera it is. Waze needs to add a camera type called "unknown". Also, monitoring and security cameras at intersections are becoming increasingly popular, especially in urban areas. I see these cameras go up and down in ways because people miss report them as stoplight or speed cameras, when in fact they are merely security and traffic monitoring cameras. Therefore, just have another category called, "security" and be done with it. Drivers want to know what those cameras are in the first place, so Waze can certainly help there and prevent further…

During long distance travel "Add a Stop" feature spreads options (eg cafe) too widely apart without asking for more input as to which side of travel this Added Stop would be searched for.
I have done long routes in the past and half of the Stops that it finds are near my end point far in the distance and unnecessary for what I'm looking for at the time.
So an additional question "Close, or futher down" OR "Within the next _miles or _ minutes " would get better results for folks looking for a good stop either now or…

Add a setting to eliminate events
There is a setting to limit the number of events to On route only, 5 miles, 10 miles, etc, but there is no way to completely eliminate event pop ups. This is very annoying as I use my phone to listen to music and every time I get a n event pop up, the music stops for a few seconds. Please create and option to have no event pop ups.
Thank you.

Why not believe me 1st time I report road closed? Why send me a 2nd time the same way?
You guys really sucked today. Reported exact same road closure 4 days ago after being 20 mins late bc WAZE didn't know. Now today WAZE sends me same way again!!!!! You guys are jerks for not believing me 1st time. I told you it was RR XING construction project. Why not look it up after I report it 1st time so you know how long to leave closure in place??? I shouldn't have to deal w same closure I reported already to you a 2nd time.

No group search results come up for my group "Transporters". Why? Search results need to be fixed.
Fixing search results so people can find you. Also nickname should be used as creator. I have asked people to search for it and nothing. Also have a way to send invites other than through Facebook. Should be able to invite single users. Email has no link to my username. Why?

'Add a stop' by touching the map
Today, you can only add a stop by choosing a favourite or typing a location. Often, when I drive to a certain location, I stop by a small detour on the map of a location I just know by ... location. I think being able to just open up the map and touch where you need to go would greatly improve the 'Add a stop' feature

Fix Nav/Add a stop -
When I add a stop (iPhone 4s) The navigation usually gets "stuck" in "proceed to the highlighted route" and updates sporadically, if at all. The car icon tracks properly on the map, but the text is frozen. This happens most of the time I use "Add a stop".

My 1997 Saab 9000 had a really helpful option. It was a speed alarm.
You can set it to a speed, when you accelerate beyond that speed, it beeped until you slowed down below the set speed. Very helpful for long roads with little traffic.
