There are already 2 slide options.
1- If you click the Menu button and slide from left-right you activate the 'Navigate' command
2- If you click the Report button and slide from right-left you activate the 'Traffic report' commandWhat if you implement more 2 slide options, but now vertical (up-down) ?

Add an option to fix the display orientation
When you go through a bad road with stones and stuff, the symbian nokia N8 shakes a lot, even with a proper holder. Then the waze client freezes and goes off. This is even turning off all other programs, avoiding processing overcharge.
I don't know if it's a client problem, but seems to be.
You could add a button to fix the desired view, horizontal or vertical, in case you don't want your waze-client display orientation switching all the time 'till die.

audio gets quiet when switching audio sources
My normal use of Waze is this: iPhone in dash mount, Instacast playing podcasts in background and Waze in foreground.
Sometimes the main audio output gets quieter after Waze overlays a warning prompt or a phone call comes in. I can rarely fix it just with volume controls, but killing Waze fixes it every time.

Automatic zoom and popup alert
Scale slider to set automatic zoom scale/speed on map! I would like set zoom level, it is too much sudden!
Popup alert are too big! Many time is very difficult follow the route because alerts cover the map for too much time. An idea can be a banner in a side of the screen! Keep the map on the screen.
My compliments for this amazing app5 votes -
Different preferences while navigating
There are several settings that I want to change according to whether or not I am navigating to a destination. Please give up options like "on when navigating, off when not navigating" in addition to the existing "on"/"off" options.
For example, I should be able to make the following settings:
North Up when not navigating; actual or desired travel direction up when
navigating;2D view when not navigating; 3D view when navigating;
Auto zoom off when not navigation; Auto zoom by distance when navigating.

Show small roads in rural areas
The Waze client, and also the "live map" on the web site, hides smaller roads as you zoom out. This is fine in cities where there are many roads. However, in rural areas, the small roads are simetimes the only roads, and if they are hidden then the map can appear completely blank.
I suggest changing to an algorithm that takes the amount of clutter into account. Something like "first disply the major highways; if the screen is not yet too cluttered then also display the minor highways; if the screen is not yet too cluttered then also display the…

Improve spoken voice prompts speed
I often find that when driving at speeds faster than 50mph and approaching roundabouts(slowing down of course) off slip roads from dual carriageways/ Motorways often the voice prompts are to slow in mentioning in what turn I need resulting in me needing to go around the roundabout twice to understand the given direction or as the case in the last few days actually being told which turn whilst on the roundabout going past the turn I needed!!
Please look into this as my Garmin unit still gets used a lot because of this problem making it sometimes unsafe to consider…

Make the Interstate Highways Stand out more with a Different Color
Sometimes it's difficult to get your bearings on where exactly you are on the Waze Map. It would help, I believe, if you made the Interstate Highways Stand out more prominently perhaps with a different color so as you can see the main arteries of travel to better base yourself and understand very quickly where exactly you are on the map!

Have client present auto-off if removed from charging
I sometimes make frequent stops during a trip, and it is an annoyance to have to start and stop the client so that it doesn't give false heavy traffic reports. If I am in the car, I always have the phone on a charger. if the client senses that the phone is no longer charging, have a pop-up box ask if the application should be turned off.

In-app segment appearance for Unpaved / Pedestrian segments
As of now, different segment types almost all look identical in Waze. Offroad / unmaintained already have has its own look, so it would seem logical to get a visual differentiation for pedestrian segments and unpaved roads.
- Unpaved roads could get a "speckled" or '"hashed" look (https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59223-waze-suggestion-box/suggestions/46149703-show-unpaved-roads-differently-in-app).
- Pedestrian segments could look just like on the live map.

Show route shields in the current road name bubble (bottom of screen) during navigation instead of plain text route numbers
Currently in Waze, the current road name displayed at the bottom of the screen during navigation only shows plain text (e.g. “M1 - Monash Fwy”) without the road shield symbol while route shields already appear in other parts of Waze (map and directions), but not in the current road bubble, creating inconsistency.
This suggestion is to display the route number as a proper shield symbol within the current road name bubble, instead of it being in plain text with a hyphen next to it. This will help reduce the clutter in the current street name and allows more room for…

level 4 & 6 mood
Bonjour Reader,
Could you add the mood of the editor in levels 4 and 6 in WME to the client Waze for different visiblity on live map because they are the best.
An editor can choose differents moods editor when he wants not just the dinosaur for levels 5.
Tanks.Bonjour Lecteur,
Serait-il possible d'ajouter les humeurs d'éditeur pour les niveaux 4 et 6 du WME dans l'application Waze, afin d'avoir une visibilité distincte sur la Live Map car ce sont les meilleurs. Un éditeur pourrait ainsi choisir différentes humeurs quand il le souhaite, au lieu d'avoir seulement le dinosaure…4 votes
