  1. bike and pedestrians ahead alert - Alerta de ciclistas e pedestres nas rodovias

    Portuguese - Seria muito útil criar um alerta de ciclistas e pedestres que estão transitando nos acostamentos das rodovias. Seria mais util ainda se o Wase pudesse acessar o banco de dados do Strava e automaticamente informasse que há "ciclistas a frente". Certamente os wazers alertariam da existência de ciclistas ou pedestres nas rodovias que representam perigo de atropelamento.

  5. police reports

    Hi, I would like to make a suggestion for us waizers that will be very helpful. Perhaps you can add a choice to click on police report that is in the screen so that we just press on it instead of going to Reports then choosing police and then sending it. Please take in consideration that we are driving and most Likely can't stop and enter report and that by the time we enter the report we are ways further from the area we saw the police. I think everyone will benefit from this easy way to report and we…

  6. Recover connection after loss of signal

    When I'm on the road and the cellphone loses signal, Waze goes off line and tries to reconnect. But when my cellphone gets signal again, Waze doesn't reconnect unless I close it and restart it or sometimes I even have to restart the phone! Then it gets network connection again, but I lose all the way I have traveled.
    There should be an update that fixes this issue. Thank you!

  8. Important! For safety - Add an option to stay away from unsealed roads

    I used Waze when driving back home this weekend, for a 400km journey. There were traffic jams all along the main routes. Waze saved me an hour by routing me around the jams, but.....

    I had two little kids in a two wheel drive car and Waze took me through roads better suited for four wheel drive vehicles - unsealed, dirt roads with no cellphone reception. The roads got bad until I was too far in and turning around wasn't even an option because it was too narrow.

    This is a matter of safety. Some cars cannot handle unsealed dirt…

  10. Ability to select different text scale.

    The map screen seems designed for lower resolution phones. When used on Galaxy S4 the text is too small to read. Suggest adding a scale option.

  11. Create your own waze character(mood)

    Create your own waze character I think in keeping the same "waze" concept just more variety, so if it were rush hour with Hazards everywhere I could actually find my spouse in the traffic jam by a little something different

  13. Is there a Family Locator function?

    Is there a Family Locator function? Like if your family member is a waze user, and for privacy they'll let your phone see their location, and you can be guided to their location by the gps?

  15. Adjust optimization for navigation by setting threshold for saving time

    Currently, we can choose the navigation type of "Fastest". In my experience, this means that Waze sometimes sends you on an alternate route for a very small time savings.

    I'd like to be able to set a threshold for deviating from a route. For instance, each additional 1000 feet of travel must save 2 or more minutes. Or using a smaller street must gain at least 5 minutes.

    This could be presented to the user as a slider between fastest and shortest, or an advanced mode that allows one to tweak each parameter.

  16. New platform: Firefox OS

    http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/03/firefox-os-hands-on-mozillas-plan-to-build-on-top-of-the-web/3/

    Firefox OS (formerly boot-to-Gecko) is a soon-to-be-released platform for low-end smartphones for emerging markets. It combines a stripped-down Android base (called Gonk) with Gecko (the Firefox render engine) and Gaia, a client layer written entirely in HTML5. The Mozilla Foundation is making some apps available for the commercial release, including HERE Maps, created by Nokia, but HERE is not a very good mapping solution, it lacks turn-by-turn navigation and the interface is overall a mess. Waze could really benefit from being the first turn-by-turn navigation solution to come to a platform and, in its turn, Firefox OS really needs…

  17. Allow showing route without starting voice navigation directions

    Their time to when you want to see the route and know how long it's going to take without actually starting voice command navigation. I would suggest adding another button in the route dialog box next to the go button or the routes button that just says "Route Only", or have a checkbox there that turns off voice navigation (so when you tap Go it just shows the route and time to destination).

  18. A more credible alert...

    The following factors would give a "certainty" rating to each report:
    * Number of wazers ahead of me (within .5-2 miles)
    * Number of minutes since the alert was posted
    * Number of "thanks" attached to report
    * Whatever logic Waze uses to determine more credible users...

  19. Identify passing official passing lanes on two way roads

    Knowing when the next good passing opportunity is would help reduce driver frustration (maybe). Official passing lanes only though - not areas where anyone thinks you can pass.

  20. Waze's own chat

    I was picking up my little brother yesterday and in the meanwhile i noticed that if i didnt have to switch between whatsapp and waze in order to chat with people not interested in waze, it would be even cooler!

    I mean. I may log in so i could contact "a friend" that i know is connected to waze for example, just to chat. The facebook friends list is awful, because .. what? 30% of your list uses waze? and when they wanna chat with you, they dont think of the waze-3.5-facebook chat a a good system, so i have…
