Allow the "Stacking" of alerts on the display
As an example, you are driving along and an alert for the police ahead pops up. You continue on but before you reach the place where the police are supposed to be where you can confirm the presence or advise them not present another alert of some other kind pops up. Now you cannot comment on the first alert. The alerts should stack so the closest one is displayed at the top of the stack

Add "virtual friends" with his nickname
Sometimes we meet cool people on the waze forum but we prefer not to exchange Facebook account, phone numbers.
It would be cool to add them to share bip bip, message, classification and to compete with.
With the last upgraded there was phone numbers, Facebook account but I think there is a lack of that!4 votes -
It would be great if Waze had an ODB2 link
It would be great if Waze had an ODB2 link so that you could track fuel economy, see if you have enough fuel for your journey, warn you when fuel was getting low, and suggest navigation to the nearest cheapest fuel station. Bluetooth ODB2 interfaces are cheap and it is an internationally standard protocol which is easy to read the data from. You could do so much with this.

Distance by blocks or exits
Instead of by feet, notify turn distance by number of blocks or exits. This makes more sense to a human driver.

Slow, buggy speech when using Bluetooth/Hands Free
Waze's speech while using bluetooth is filled with long awkward pauses. Often, the speech is unable to complete saying the direction before the next speech event needs to occur. The pauses between speech events are excessively long. This problem only manifests itself when connected to bluetooth audio.
Additionally, the speech is routed through "media player audio" instead of a voice command specific audio event. This means that the vehicle itself must be set to bluetooth audio music streaming rather than listening to the radio. Since the events turn on/off, the bluetooth media option is often unavailable and cannot be activated.

Taxi meter
I would be happy if you can integrate in your application one ficher of a taxi meter. You have the date time and distance only thing you need to add is the beginning of the meter by the country and Day & Night. I use taxis a lot, and I would love to know what the price of the trip before I go in a taxi, especially abroad.
Thanks

Register your intended event at the location in which you first pressed the button, not the location you are at when you finally hit submit.
When I begin to register a comment such as a pothole in the road, or a problem with an intersection, the location is stored when I hit submit, rather than the location where I was at the time where I began to register the comment. My suggestion is to freeze the location until you hit submit.

Waze shouldn't remove the old route while it is recalculating a new one
Sometimes, when I'm driving and using Waze, it identifies me in another street (crossroads, frequently). With that, it starts a new route, show me the RECALCULATING animation and remove the old route.
The problem is: if the place that it happens, it doesn't have internet connection, I run out the last route and the new one.
The perfect way, in this case, would be if Waze removes the old route ONLY AFTER get the new one.
Thanks.4 votes -
add option to disable traffic based routing
When routing, waze often attempts to route around traffic. Waze is used occasionally for just the first part of a journey (navigating a downtown area, for example) and I find it selecting a completely different route every time I use it because it attempts to route around the traffic at work.
Another example is that during extremely heavy traffic in a snowstorm, waze had me exiting at every freeway exit and then entering the freeway again, simply because the freeway exits had little traffic on them compared to the freeway itself.
Because of this, there should be a simpler routing…

אפשרות חיוג למספר שנקבע מראש בנקודת ציון שקבענו
אם נוכל להגדיר נקודת ציון שבנקודה זו המכשיר יעלה אוטומטית אפשרות חיוג למס' שקבענו ביחס לאותה נקודה וכך ינתן פתרון לאלו שמבקשים לפתוח שער חניה, שער ישוב או להודיע לחבר שכבר הגענו מבלי לצאת מוויז .

confecção de novos humores diários, e novos carros.
Gostaria de sugerir a equipe Waze confecção de novos humores diários, e novos carros. Uma atualização frequente desses dois itens com certeza deixaria o aplicativo ainda mais atraente.Tenham uma ótima semana.

Externalize performance parameters as configuration.
Living in a tropical country, driving with my phone under the windshield of my car, for an hour or so, at 35°C, my phone gets so hot it could burn a hole through my pocket. (My phone is a Motorola RAZR i)
I think Waze has a high demand for memory and processing power, to be as responsive as it is.I am guessing that Waze has a lot of automatic tasks that run "every x seconds" to update the road reports, ETA, friends list, reports for you to thumbs up and so on.
I think Waze could make that…

Remove the 9/10th for gas prices
You can't change it and it just makes reading the actual price harder.
For example, this is a lot harder to compare and update:
3.199 3.299 3.399than this:
3.19 3.29 3.39At the very least, de-emphasize the fractional "9" by pulling it out of the edit box and/or making the text color light gray.

a start from option
Most of us know anywhere from 10-90% of our route. It would be nice to be able to have a "start from this area" option.

Gas station ID. Cumberland Farms vs Gulf
Please recognize Cumberland Farms gas stations as different than Gulf. CF gas stations take a special check card that gets me 10 cents off a gallon. Take some cues from Gas Buddy! Thanks.

reopen waze automatically after x seconds when switched to other apps during driving
The idea is to have the system recognize that the user is driving and waze is on but not displayed. It will automatically return to waze after x seconds. The timing will be configured by the user. Thanks Aner

Crashing issues on Android
I think waze is great, unfortunately it doesn't work on my new Samsung Galaxy Y Pro B5510. Every time I try to enter a destination or touch just about anything on the screen it crashes.

Track my car's vitals; build database for community benefits
This is a big idea, no small undertaking I know. I'd like to combine my GPS app with the functionality of an app like Gas Cubby, which tracks my MPG at every fill-up and alerts me when my car is due for maintenance.
Here's how I envision it:
-I tell Waze what car I drive: ex: 2003 Saturn Vue, 6 cyl, automatic
-Every time I stop to fill up, I tell Was
