Report functionality
After generating a certain number of reports in a specific time, you can not enter more reports. I'm sure someone else may want to know about the hidden cop. Just allow me to enter the report and don't give me points.

report generation to local authorities
It would be a great feature if a master report could be generated daily in major metropolitan areas indicating reports by Wazers regarding potholes, faulty traffic lights etc so that these can be repaired quickly. Alternatively, a program could be made avaliable to them wherby they can monitor selected reports witin their city and dispatch officers or repair crews to sort ouy the problems. This could also be a great Waze marketing tool.

Sticky with the Number of Minutes Since...
Once an alert is added to Waze, say Heavy Traffic, you should start the clock ticking and put a sticky next to that report, and count up as the minutes go by so users can easily see when that report was placed there. One minute, two minutes, three minutes ago... This way we can judge how relevant that report still is. Thanks.

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.
To avoide terrorists to use this feature to have a terrorism act, the feature will ask the user that stopped to give…1 vote -

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.
Thank you.1 vote -
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.
