  1. No shutdown when screen off

    Hello,

    I read that waze automaticatly shutdown itselves if it detects it is used in background

    However this could be helpfull if we can set "on" or "off" this option. For exemple, with my phone I prefer to shutdown the screen to save the battery (I toggle the screen on when I want to see or inform about something) . But by this way waze shutdown itself

    May it be possible to make it as an option in a futher version ?

    Yours sincerely

  2. Reporting of road works to actually work

    I report the same lane closure every day and as a royal user I'm confused as to why I'm being ignored?? Would be great if reports actually worked

  3. police

    After making a report of police, I noticed in my Inbox that it was labeled as "police speed trap." I don't think the app should make that assumption. I report police presence ONLY to promote officer safety. Sometimes large trucks block drivers' view and they may not be able to see there is an officer (or other emergency responder) at the side of the road.

  5. perte de compte

    Je trouve grotesque que l'on perde son compte lorsque l'on change de téléphone. Le message reçu de Waze lorsque j'ai voulu retrouver mon compte est hallucinant de désinvolture, c'est à peu près ceci : "Oups, ils semble que votre compte se soit perdu dans le labyrinthe".
    Comment imaginer que des mois et années de fidélité se perdent pour un changement de téléphone !!!

  6. automatic pot holes detection

    At our university we have developed Android app which automaticaly analyses data from accelerometer and detects pot holes and road problems. We mark them to the map so the drivers are informed about a road problem ahead of them. See the app in PLAY store - bit.ly/1RCLM3P

    We would like to communicate with WAZE representatives about possibility to transfer our know how to waze navigation.

  7. Need improving favorite / search

    I have idea about favorite / search

    1. Why not let Waze search address from my contact list?
    2. Why not create folder in favorite? Like Friend, Company, Restaurant, etc.
    3. When click address on contact, link to Waze instead iPhone's map

    That would be great!

  9. Waze on my car screen

    GM now allows Google maps and several other APPs to be projected on my car screen from either an iphone or an android phone. Would be a great addition if we could get the WAZE APP to come up. I would happily toss the google map.

  10. Choose time of reports before calculates the route

    The ability to choose what old time has to be a report to be considered in my route. For example, if anyone has reported that last hour was traffic on a road, it is not said that there is even now, indeed probably there is not traffic now and so it is not necessary to calculate an alternate route. So it would be useful to have a possibility to set a parameter that filters on what must be a recent report so to be considered eg. in the last 30 minutes, in the last 15 minutes.

  13. Tell us WHY Waze can't find a route

    Today I was in Virginia and starting a drive to Northampton, MA. Waze told me that it couldn't find a route. In fact, it couldn't find a route to Boston, or New Haven, or anywhere else north of NY, NY. (It can find a route to NY, NY). I'd like to know why. I tried multiple phones.

    When things like this happens, Waze should say WHY it can't find a route.

  14. ADD HELP EMAIL WITHIN THE APP!

    Under HELP menu...
    ADD "HELP EMAIL" for Technical Support!
    It's ridiculous to come here to website to find NO tech support but go to the Community section!

    The current update as of 10.14.2016 keeps crashing on iPhone 5S iOS 7. The Maze app NEEDS to be FIXED!

  17. Indicate toll roads on main navigation screen

    Because a tiny icon in the route summary doesn't cut it and is often missed!

    Also ability to show (in route summary) the cost and payment methods (cash, card, NFC, NPR, etc) of the toll road so you can plan ahead.

  18. New adult looking display... The update looks like a child designed it

    The new update on Android really killed Waze in my opinion. I like the new button layout and placements, but there are a few problems with the display.
    a) Color scheme - Looks like a child colored it in. I would like not so vibrant colors and more professional looking.
    b) The view port - It seems to show much more of the road you have already passed than it did before the update. I'm not concerned with the road I have already driven on, I would much rather see more ahead.
    c) Road Thickness - WAY too thick!!! At…

  20. Bom dia. Poderiam disponibilizar uma função que tire a foto do mapa direto no aplicativo, sem usar o recurso de captura de tela do celular.

    Com essa função, ficaria mais fácil comprovar, por exemplo para o seu chefe, que você está preso no trânsito, diretamente pelo aplicativo. Como em alguns modelos de celular é necessário clicar mais de um botão ao mesmo (ligar+volume), fica inviável fazer isso ao dirigir, mas se o aparelho está fixo no suporte para celular do carro, um clique na tela do Waze facilitaria e muito a vida do usuário. Obrigado, bom dia!
