911 option in app on iOS (to report accident)
I was stuck in traffic today and while stopped I witnessed an accident in the opposite direction involving a motorcycle - I closed the app to call 911 but traffic in my direction started moving before I could post update to map. I was wondering if maybe their is a way to report an accident through waze and maybe even have it automatically post a map update for other users to see (ie - using waze to call 911 would post a flag at that location as an accident)?

Auto search for a route to my work, please discontinue doing this. I am retired and don't have a work site listed!
Please disable the program from automatically popping up with a route to my work, especially since I don't have a work located because I am retired. I find this very annoying. If I want a route, I will pick a route or search for a new one manually.

I'd love to be able to add gas stations from the app,as well as roads. I'd also like to add street names in the app.
Going to map editor after paving a road in the app is not practical. I would like to be able to add streets and stretet names thru the app.

Tell the user where he is right now
While driving on a long trip I sometimes didn't even know what city I was in. My car's built-in gps (outdated) has a button that I can push that shows approx address and city. Even street/intersection and city would be good enough.

Add a softkey to take screenshot
In Android you have to simultaneously press [Low Volume] + [Power] in order to take a screenshot.
If you are driving this is not possible and even if you are a passenger it is not practical.
It would be great a soft-key was created in the map (like the zoom commands).2 votes -
Make a "Map Editor" search mode on client
For area managers and other people who are into editting the map, make a search option that will help route them to a "map problem area" or to an area they marked for themselves from the map editor, and help them report to themselves what needs to be fixed. Then when they get back to their desktops, they can see what they recorded and make the appropriate fixes.

Use more user polling to keep alerts current
I love waze, but I often find that alerts on the map or 30-40-60+ minutes old and no longer relevant. I'd suggest that every user who drive past a reported even be polled.
Even better would be to not award points for reported events until they've been validated by a different user (or reward partial points until validation). Token points should also be awarded for answering a poll - and polling it should be able to be disabled.
I imaging something like:
"Poll: A Wazer has reported standstill traffic at your location" options would be "Agree - Standstill traffic" "No…

Make map icons easier to identify!
When looking at the waze map, it is difficult to tell what direction the traffic/police/accident icons are positioned for. There should be something included on the icon that indicates if the report is for Eastbound/Westbound traffic; maybe just a "W" or "E" included in the icon? Maybe add an arrow pointing in the direction of traffic flow that the report is effecting?

Google+/Latitude check-in button
The Foursquare check-in feature is nice, but I prefer Google Latitude/Google+ check-ins and would love to have a check-in button for that so I don't have to exit Waze to get to it.

Fading Report Icons
After a report is added to the map, the icons should slowly begin to become transparent. This way the age of upcoming reported incidents can be determined at a glance. If a fading report icon is reconfirmed by another Wazer, it should regain 100% of its opacity and the fading cycle should begin again.

There should be 2 categories of choosing Zoom settings, when navigating and when just driving
When I'm navigating to a specific place, it makes the most sense to zoom based on the distance to the next turn because it makes a visual reminder for the turn coming up and shows the most detail. If I just have waze open, however, it doesn't know when I'm turning, so it should zoom based on speed. I realize not everyone may want this, however, so make 2 categories of zoom options: choose how you want it to zoom when navigating and how how you want it to zoom when just driving.

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.
