  2. Waze maps to closest street instead of named street

    I have noticed a few times lately that Waze seems to map the directions to the closest street to the gps point of the address, which is not always the same as the street the address is on. This means, for instance, that where there are houses which are set back from the street, Waze often maps to a neighboring street instead of the correct street, because it's closer to the marker.

    In one residential neighborhood with houses set back from the street, one address is mapped to a nearby condo complex behind the house. Another house is mapped to…

  4. Display alternative ETA's at junctions

    When I'm driving towards an intersection junction along my route with several route alternatives, I would like a feature that displays hor much longer those alternative route choices are.

    Why?
    1) My commute has several alternative route choices that differ in meters and seconds.

    2) The first Waze default route choice is not always best.

    3) Sometimes I can plan my route better than Waze, and don't always choose the Waze route.

    4) Sometimes I prefer some variety in my daily commute.

    5) Sometimes I want to choose a different route just so I can see something different.

  5. Placeable reports once youve passed a hazard. Not just where you are right now

    Im unable to accurately place a report unless i report it at the precise moment i pass it. Which isnt always possible or safe to do so.

  6. List search results by shortest time to arrive, not distance or location

    right now if i search for a chain store (like starbucks) I get a list of locations. what i really need to know is which location will take me the least time to reach.

  8. Korea

    Not really an idea as much as information, but in the country menu, the option is only available for 'Korea, Democratic People's Republic', which is North Korea. I assumed this was an error and was right - the maps do load South Korea. It should be 'Korea, Republic of'.

  10. Record traffic warnings

    How about the option to record our warnings? "There's a large piece of wood in the center lane." "There's an eighteen-wheeler on the right shoulder." "Everyone has to move to the left lane to go around construction."
    Then, Waze would notify us - "Hazard reported one-half mile ahead - [playback recorded warning]."
    Two things would be accomplished - the warning would be very specific, and it would require less attention diverted from driving.

  11. Fix Volume bug

    You can only adjust the volume (using the hard buttons) while Waze is vocally communicating with you. Between alerts/navigation, pressing the volume buttons does nothing

  13. Turning off Calendar notifications

    I've tried three times to opt out of calendar notifications, and it keeps resetting. Now I've opted out of all notifications. Shame...but the calendar thing is annoying, I have way to many appointments. Please fix.

  14. Message alerts settings

    In the new version of Waze, when the phone is landscape, when a warning is shown (radar, stopped vehicle ...) it's appear on the top of the screen, avoiding the visualization of what is to come in the path. The suggestion is to allow set where to place these alerts. If the phone is in an horizontal position, would be more useful than alerts go out to the right or left of the screen covering part of the side and not the way to go.

  17. Add draw bridges to reporting options

    I live in Seattle and we have half a dozen draw bridges in the area. The Waze app has led me to be stuck and waiting for bridges to go down on more than one occasion, so it would be great if Wazers could report when the bridges go up and when they go back down.

  18. Risk classification system by areas

    Risk classification system by areas:

    Some countries like mine (Peru) have several areas which are either dangerous or ugly to go through. Since Waze algorithm is set to always find the best route regarding the traffic and shortest ways to minimze the time, sometimes it includes these kind of undesireble zones and and it can be really annoying or even scary.

    Therefore, I suggest to implement a security location system based on the split and categorization of how safe or risky is each area.

    At first, it's going to be necessary to make an initial investigation about the safety of…

  19. Proximity routing for Home/Work

    Many people use waze on a daily basis as a way to avoid traffic. We know how to get home or to work, and sometimes our work places have multiple entrances. These entrances don't always trigger waze that you have arrived, so even once I'm in the building, suddenly I hear waze trying to route me through the office hallways from my pocket.....

    A new feature called "proximity routing" that the user can enable for their "home/work" locations would take care of this problem. Once the driver gets close, waze would indicate you have arrived and go into sleep mode.…
