Request cancelled webpage with more info
On follow my drive, if you type in the URL incorrectly, or if the other person turned off waze, you get a "Request Cancelled" message on the web.
I have an IT background, so I understand the meaning behind "Request cancelled". But most people I know have absolutely no idea what that means.
The page should say a bit more, in layman's terms. Kind of like a 404 page. For example:
Sorry, this user's drive is not currently viewable. This could be because of several reasons:
Check your URL. Maybe you mistyped it?
The user is not connected to Waze…

Enable/disable "Standby" via slide lock or confirmation pop-up.
The new "Standby" function is not as friendly as I thought it would be. Lets say you've arrived at your destination and have placed Waze on standby and a few seconds later, you realize that you've got a new destination you want check up on (ETA? Location?) or you just want check your settings...
ERRR!
In order to access anything on the Waze app, it will trigger your device's GPS feature and if not mindful, your battery will pay the price (drain!).Lie my subject title suggests... a slide-to-confirm standby, ON/OFF button, would be great.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
