Select Notification to be displayed
I miss a "Setting Menu" for "Notifications type".
I'd like to hide some notifications and let some others displayed (ex : hide "traffic" and keep "police" ?)

Suggestion on Live Reports (Cross Streets)
It would be nice to know the closest cross street or major cross street of the report. Currently I see only the street that the user reported it on. Some of those roads are miles long and it would help to know where so I may change my route.

Create a "soft warning" for known situations.
For example: A location where speed traps are consistently reported would have a warning in a radius such as "speed traps have been reported here." The color of the warning could fade from red to orange as reports decline or vice versa. There's one street I travel where there's a cop shooting radar 80% of the time. There could be a warning about that regardless of if a Wazer had been through recently.

Make lock button switch off the screen without locking it
It would be great if switching on/off the screen could be realized by the lock button with no need to unlock the screen. Code:
KeyguardLock kgLock;
public void onCreate() {
KeyguardManager kgm = (KeyguardManager) getSystemService(Activity.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
kgLock = kgm.newKeyguardLock(TAG);
kgLock.disableKeyguard();
}@Override protected void onDestroy() { kgLock.reenableKeyguard(); super.onDestroy(); } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); kgLock.reenableKeyguard(); } @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); kgLock.disableKeyguard(); }6 votes -
Display direction of new road (e.g. I-10 *West*)
Most of the time I get messed up using Waze is when I encounter a roadway or freeway turn where there may be immediate opportunity to go either way, e.g. I-10 East or I-10 West, or TriCity Parkway North vs. TriCity Parkway South. The display shows only "I-10" or "TriCity Parkway".

camera first
As a user option, allow me to open camera immediately upon press of REPORT button (as opposed to choosing the report type). This way the photo op won't be gone by the time I fumble through the type of report to submit. After photo is taken, I'll choose the report type, type in the details, and submit everything.

Symbian S^3 version for Nokia N8 and co ?
The Symbian S60v5 version can be launched on a N8 but it often crashes. Maybe the S60 version can be adapted to work better on N8 but you're the only ones who can confirm or not ;).
Thank you
6 votesAt the moment this is not planned, as Nokia itself announced the end of Symbian. Sorry guys.

Road goodies icons smaller or display under other objects
I understand the incentive idea of road goodies, and also understand you can just turn them off. But I would prefer another option which is either to make them smaller in size or be "under" other items (IE: roads, route, traffic coloring, etc.)

Voice Instructions: Bear Right, Keep Right
Voice navigation instructions use "Keep Right (Left) in 2 conditions making it a bit confusing: When on an undivided road approaching a divided section of the same road, and when approaching an intersection with a gradual right (left) turn. "Bear Right (Left)" would be a more appropriate instruction for the 2d situation.

ROADWORK: leverage roadwork feed from Swedish transport administration
In Sweden, public feeds of roadwork and traffic events (accidents) are available at no charge on the internet.
Please enable the display of these in the waze client. They could also be used for improved routing.

Let users customize auto tweets such as "Acabo de reportar una redada policial, ..."
Traffic enforcement corps are different from country to country so it might be a good idea to let users tweak their auto tweets a little. They might have the application configured in a language but tweet in another, etc.

Lake Ontario
I loved your app and used it every single time. I will never again use it as you change the name of Lake Ontario, just to raise the ego of an evil, wannabe dictator (like other of your former users called him).very disappointed

More community-driven feature
Hello Waze,
I’ve been thinking about something that could be a nice addition to the app.
Waze is already very community-driven through map editing, traffic reports, road alerts, and more. I think it would be great to bring that community spirit into other parts of the app as well.
One idea iscommunity-created custom icons. Users could create, upload, and share their own icons, while others could rate and comment on them. This could lead to unique artwork, memes, seasonal designs, local themes, and other creative ideas.
Another idea could be community-created backgrounds that users could use to further customize their…

Bring back the average speed zone progress bar and show actual average speed
After the recent Waze interface change, the progress bar for average speed enforcement zones has disappeared.
Previously, there was a vertical progress indicator on the left side of the screen showing my position within the average speed zone. It was very useful because I could instantly see how far I had already travelled through the controlled section and how much remained.
The new interface only shows that the average speed zone has started and the remaining distance until it ends. This is much less intuitive and requires the driver to read information instead of understanding the situation at a glance.…5 votes -

Increase the size of the speed limit.
Hi, Waze is a fantastic app and community. I ride a motorcycle and the speed limit display is too small to read.

Show trip history for the same destination
It would be very useful if Waze could show a user’s previous driving history to the same destination.
Today, Waze only shows a small history/search icon for places that appeared in my past searches or navigation history. However, this does not provide enough useful information about when I actually drove there or how long the drive took.
The main benefit would be the ability to quickly see when I last drove to that destination. For example, if I search for a place I visited before, Waze could show the last time I navigated there, along with previous trips to the…5 votes -
Truck map
Hi Waze. It would be a great idea if you could make maps for Trucks. Bridge height, bridge weight restrictions , length restrictions. Truck stops are not priority but would be nice to have. I use car play in my 40t truck with Waze but I use tom tom too, but I don’t Like TomTom. Sadly I have no choice but to use it 😂
