  1. Day / Night detemination in New Zealand

    Day / Night / Auto mode observation: I am in New Zealand. I have noticed that the waze iOS app thinks that it is night time until 12noon when Waze suddenly realises that it is the middle of the day and that it should really be displaying day time mode.
    This suggests to me that the algorithm associated with determining day/night time is not properly considering timezones.
    The apps should be taking local time, and only local time to determine day/night mode. And allowinging in sunride/sunset should be region sensitive.

    The fact that it currently changes at 12noon does suggest…

  3. Ability to report/demarcate highway police stations

    When you're driving it's handy to know where a highway police station along the highway is, that's where police activity is usually highest

  4. Alerts based on time

    You should calculate how far or how long a Alert stays on the screen based on your speed because if something is a mile away and you're traveling miles an hour config one hour to get to especially if the traffic jam so if you could display something which is like a minute away they sometime be about the much better use of the screen space because something is staying there

  5. Allow for Swipe gesture to be customizable

    The current swipe gesture only allows for traffic to be reported. However, I run across 'car on the shoulder' more often than traffic. Allowing individuals to customize the swipe gesture would allow Waze to be tailored to the surroundings of the individual.

  10. Please improve the paving method. It is very hard to pave the new road segment which is parallel or so closed to the existing roads.

    The editing will be much easier because the editor do not have to use their drives map that are not always reliable to them to refer.

  11. Incorporate Junction Views, ie, pictures of ramps and turns to allow quick identification of which ramp/junction to turn

    Have photos of junctions/ramps/turn offs pop out or have a split screen to view on coming turns at multiple junctions with arrows pointing to the route being navigated

  14. Fleet management

    I work at a transit authority and we pay a lot of money for specialty hardware and software to track our fleet and transmit that information to the public. Possibly too late for my employer, but this is a market that could use a little disruption.

  16. Sale to Google

    I really wish you hadn't sold to Google. I know it means lots of money for you but it means my privacy using your app is gone. And most likely, they will close you down and try to force me to Google maps but I won't use the app.

    I know one person won't make a difference, but when the sale is completed I will stop using Waze.

  19. Add a service that will put pings/icons on the maps to show yard sales and allow these maps accessible on all platforms not just devices.

    Add a service that will put pings/icons on the maps to show yard sales and allow these maps accessible on all platforms not just devices. You could also expand this to all local community events, school functions for charity like carwashes etc. As far as I know there is nothing currently available for live updates of yardsales and things of that nature. As a mother in a small community that has no need for any apps currently available, this is one I would pay for. Even in this small community, with my gps, I have trouble finding yard sales.
