Don’t limit posts and updates
On a recent trip from Texas to Wyoming and back, I would post updates along the way. I saw a lot of things during this trip posting radar traps, accidents and traffic issues. But all of a sudden, Waze started complaining that I was posting too much and threatened to suspend my account. You see a lot of things driving hundreds of miles each day. So now I no longer post ANY updates at all. Let me just say, I was trying to provide my input to help others with information that doesn’t benefit me at all. Why would you…

Add an option of "Need help" when user stops in margins
When a user has a stop in margins, he will have an icon with an option to choose what type of help he's searching for, like: needs to replace a wheel, missing water, and so on... or "Do not need".
When the narrator says "Note for a vehicle in the side" she will add "and he needs help with...".
If other user in that way desides to stop and help, he will sign it back on the app.

I'm using Waze on an in-car Pumpkin Android stereo. It goes well, except it has a lot of trouble understanding my voice if the radio is play
I'm using Waze on an in-car Pumpkin Android stereo. It goes well, except it has a lot of trouble understanding my voice if the radio is playing. Can a setting be added that will mute/reduce volume of other audio outputs while in listening mode? Activating Google voice input is an example of how it should be.

Different sounds at the beginning and the end of danger zone
The sound is the same for the beginning and the end of a danger zone (in France for me). I would like a crescendo sound for the beginning of a danger zone and a decrescendo sound for the end.

Android Samsung galaxy note 3 multi window feature.
Would love to use it with other apps. This limits me to only use one app. With Google maps I can listen to YouTube or a music app while I see and hear directions. Thanks.

pre-select most commonly used updates into nav screen buttons
Have one main button on the navigation map screen that when pressed dynamically separates into 6 buttons (3 on the left [upper corner, midlevel, lower corner], 3 on the right). This would cut down on the clutter when an update is not needed.
Allow the user to customize these buttons to their most commonly used ones. For me, they would be car on the shoulder, heavy traffic, and hidden cop. If the update was on my side of the road, I would customize these to the right 3 buttons. If they were on the opposite side, I could customize these…

Don't FORCE users to register their cellphone numbers
New updates have deleted the option of choosing between registering with facebook, email or just user and password. Now the only chance you have to register your account is by giving your phone number. Don't demand it; let people choose.

Ask before you grab a persons time.
Before the app goes through all the set-up screens please ask the user if they just need directions right now and set-up later. They might be in a difficult situation and not have time for an app that keeps trying to build their profile. Your product us used in a dangerous environment and insistent / persistent distraction is stressful at the least and at worst potentially life threatening.

Addresses should be closes your area and should be listed first
When typing in an address the options list should pertain to the area your in, for example if i’m in Venice Beach CA when I type in Broad Street, the Broad Street in New York City should not be listed first. It should go off the location you are in at the time.
