Allow Menu and Report buttons to be hidden or transparent
For screens that can suffer from burn-in, the buttons at the bottom of the Android client are very bright and prominent. While I have been lucky that the burn went away on my stock Galaxy S3, it would seem a nice option to be able to modify settings for those buttons. I would think either a "show on tap", or transparent option would be best. Perhaps also changing them to a darker look when in night mode would help too.

Police traffic stop - recording speed
I would like to see an action that is a button always on the app screen displayed that allows you to capture speed and other information about your location, etc., when you are being pulled over by a police for speeding. Allow the user's to review the data at stop point to know their speeds, lets say 5 minutes prior to pressing the ticket button. Also, email the data to the user's email.

LinkedIn integration for work related friends
We all know adding work related contacts and friends to Facebook isn't best practice. But when and where do people use Waze the most? Right, driving to and from and during work. Now wouldn't it be a nice feature if Waze supported LinkedIn integration so that your Waze friend list is a combination of Work (LinkedIn) and personal (Facebook) contacts? Well, then vote.

Ability to declare a suggested route bad
Sometimes Waze suggests routes that are so bad as to be cringe worthy. It would be nice to to be able to report them for review.

navigation list
bring back the navigation list. WAZE is good but occasionally makes mistakes and support and be able to know where you are being led. I would suggest the list pop-up when you touch the bar of the current next turn.

Option to Ignore Construction Zones
It would be tremendously helpful to have the ability to ignore construction zones/certain stretches of road. And if possible with the option to automatically ignore if speeds are less than a certain threshold.

Interchange guidance method in ver. 2.2 is wrong. Revert to 2.0 method.
In version 2.2 (Android & iPhone) the written guidance in interchanges was changed. It tries to look-ahead and gives guidance based on the ramp exiting the interchange.
This is inconsistent with the way guidance worked in version 2.0 and therefore inconsistent with the ramp's naming in the Waze map. It leads to confusing guidance that does not match the actual road signs.
This is really dangerous as it increases drivers' confusion in the interchange.
Please revert the guidance method to the way it was in version 2.0For details see http://www.waze.co.il/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=9996&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15#p59430 (in Hebrew)

Add user report confirmation/cancelation buttons for all events
Add user report confirmation/cancelation buttons for all events, similar to "police/not here". This would allow to refresh the reports in the map by other drivers, provide more 'live' info + quicker cancellation of outdated events.

use Android API for event buttons and text input
to report traffic/event irrelevancy it is darn hard to hit that tiny round button with a caret (>) at the end of the event item. instead I should be able to use a long press on a much broader list item to pop up the menu. also, the menu that pops up ought to be from the API. it would create bigger buttons (better for touch sensitive devices) and makes for a much more consistent device use experience plus it would make it more accessible while driving. More accessible means less accidents.
also text input. there seems to be no…

Do not cancel driver reports for mis-taps
Suggestion: Do not dump Wazers completely out of the reporting process because of a mis-tap or error.
Problem solved: Prevents Wazers from having their attempts to help totally aborted due to mistakes, which is discouraging, frustrating, annoying, demoralizing, and may discourage Wazers from submitting future reports.
Discussion:
When a user opens the report feature on a mobile device, they are presented with a collection of icons to choose from. If, because they are driving and trying to pay attention to the road, they happen to miss the target and accidentally tap the space between icons, the report display cancels out.…

select trailer or caravan
Driving through 6 different countries from Netherlands to Italy with my trailer. You sometimes forget what the legal speed limits are in each country. It would be great to be able to select a car-trailer combination. also because the travel time is very different if you compair this with a single car.

Better navigation - height width weight
Please add three values to segments, maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight. All segments should default to 0.
Please add user settings of maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight. They should default to 0. The label should direct the user to enter their height/width in metres and weight in tonnes.
When reviewing a navigation route, check if there is a value of maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight exceeding 0. If there is a value, cross-check the users maxHeight, maxWidth, maxWeight is lower.
If the users value is higher than the segment value, disregard that segment as a navigation option.
This would help users of a wide range of…

Enable full control in the app using voice only
Add an option to interact with the app using voice control
for instance :
reporting an obstacle on the road using Siri/Google assistant,
rerouting to a new destination while driving,
share your location using a voice command.
All these options should prevent the user from touching the phone while driving and decrease distractions.
The convenience of using the app while talking only will increase the amount of users reporting , and interacting with the many options given in the app.
This will lead to more credible information to be provided for the users.11 votes
