Copilot feature
I have a suggestion that I think would be excellent and differentiating from other applications. This is a functionality that could be called "Copilot", and that allows a device with a Waze account to establish a new destination to a different device. For example, I have Waze on my device while I'm driving, and my wife can set a new destination for me from her own device without having to touch mine, for that reason I thought the function could be called "Copilot".
This same functionality would also be very useful when navigating with CarPlay, so that I can continue…

Business Address Route to arrive on the right side of the street
For business address, hotels, commercial, etc. especially in busy downtown areas, please have the route always go around the block or whatever is necessary to arrive on the Right side of the street. For example dropping a passenger off in front of the building. Avoids having to do a mid-block u-turn or going around the block.

Automatically sleep Waze when disconnecting from CarPlay
Hi, can an option be added to automatically put Waze to sleep after unplugging it from CarPlay? I don't need Waze to remain active once I've reached my destination, and when I get back into my car I usually start it manually myself.

When a car is stopped on side of road for a confirmed length of time (say 30 minutes) waze could call for help
It would be awesome if waze could call for local help when a car is stopped on the side of the road for a confirmed significant length of time, say 30 minutes?

Live Map on web site
Your website used to be so easy to use. Now I have to find Live Map on the right hand side.
Then I must enter to destination address first. This doesn't even make sense?
When I enter the from address it finds addresses in other countries no where near my destination address. It didn't used to be like this. So I end up typing in the full address.
Really whoever is coming up with your new web site ideas should be fired.

Add option to alert to "Opposite Side" police reports
In most areas, even police with bumper-mounted radar heads can measure speed in different directions and differentiate between targets, and many departments (most, these days) equip front and rear emittors which work simultaneously. Unless this feature is exclusively to be used for situations where the threat is on the other side of a concrete barrier where there is no nearby onramp or turnaround, it makes no sense not to at least have the option to enable such alerts.

Enhancements: Allow customization of favorites
At present, as you add a new favorite destination to the list, it is listed at the bottom of the list. It would be helpful to be able to create custom tabs within the favorites so that we could provide some organization to our favorites!

Routing server timeouts - retry in the background
Sometimes everyone of us experiences routing server timeouts with an Oops/OK prompt. Then one needs to reclick the destination while driving, which is disturbing. Perhaps the client could have an option to retry a couple of times in the background, and then notify if all retries failed?

Tourist safety suggestion - prompts re staying on the correct side of road
When tourists travel to a country where they have to drive on a different side of the road it can be potentially dangerous. I am in New Zealand where we drive on the left. Accidents are often caused when tourists mistakenly drift onto the right as they are on auto-pilot, and cause a head-on collision.
Most of the rental car companies put a "keep left" sticker on the inside of the windscreen to remind drivers but I don't think this enough. My idea is that Waze would create a special "tourist" version of the audio guide that would include…

Send a text message when delayed and/or shortly before arriving
Waze can send twitter-messages, but with the new APIs in iOS4 it could send textmessages (SMS) as well. When entering a destination for routing, one could also select a mobile phonenumber (of the person we are driving to) so that significant delays are reported automatically to this person. Also, waze could send a SMS some minutes before arriving at the destination. This comes really handy when you want to pick someone up!
When I say "automatically" - I mean that Waze pops up a dialog that you only have to confirm.

Inform drivers of vehicles on side of road
I'm driving in one direction and inform other Waze drivers of a vehicle on my side, but when I'm heading back, I notice that the vehicle I tagged earlier is gone. I would like to be able to have the option to click "not there". This goes for police as well because there are times where a cop is posted, but when I get to the area, it's gone. I believe people are just posting that a vehicle or cop is there as a " joke". There should be a way to stop that as well. Send me an…
