  1. LIVE Number plate scanner, last known position of police vehicles.

    A button to enable the camera to scan and track known number plates of police vehicles (possibly other wazers).

    This can have a refresh time of say 10 sec and shows the next known position or simulate the police vehicle movement on the map. It just disappears when it loses the tracking but notifies users of recent police presence if you enter a road that had police vehicle on it in the last minute or so or within a certain distance.

    Hello,

    We wanted to ask, seeming to Android version 6.0.0 and higher, the sound is not working? (Voice instructions)

    It is impractical to constantly monitor display.

    Please Do you have any solutions?

    Does not work on the new Samsung Galaxy J5 and J5 2016.

    Other functions work perfectly.

  5. Make a segment routable or not depending on atmospheric conditions

    Some segments (dirt specially) are routables or not depending on dry or wet conditions.
    Since there are Apps. that report rain conditions on specific places, use that information to decide if some segments can be used to navigation.

  6. Announcements depending on speed

    I recommend that Waze adjust the "trigger distance" for pre-alerts when traveling quickly.

    For example, currently Waze pre-alerts "In one-tenth of a mile ..." regardless of speed.

    If you are driving 60 MPH, you cover the one-tenth of a mile in a mere 6-seconds ... by that time, Waze is already alerting you (AGAIN) that it's time to make the turn.

    I'm all for voice alerts ... but when the app gabs for 10-seconds straight because of back-to-back announcements, eh....

  7. Route nickname

    Allow people to give names to their usual routes. I travel the same back and forth to work and use waze to determine which is faster. There are only 3 basic routes, and it would be great if I could chose a route and call it as I do in real life "front way', 'back way', 'side streets' etc, so I know easily which is which

  9. Driving "Unplugged "

    Put the phone down, observe current driving conditions, adjust accordingly. Don't worry about the location of law enforcement officers, try to drive the same speed as surrounding traffic. You'll burn less fuel, brake pads, and brain cells. Good luck out there and stay safe.

  12. speedlimits

    Timebased Speedlimits.

    There are so many zones where in a specific timeframe you have a speedlimit.

    for example 7:00 am till 6:00 pm 30km/h all other time 50km/h

  13. Ability to clear old reports

    There needs to be a way to clear old/outdated reports. My drive home today was littered with reports from 5, 7, 9 days ago. They just clutter up the screeen and distract from important, relevant information

  14. Some kind of API for updating gas prices automatically

    Some (smaller) gas stations in Europe do publish their gas prices online. It would be nice if we can either push these prices to the Waze database or have Waze pull them like every day or so.
    I would be more than happy to write some code to convert the provided data into a suitable format.

    For example: Oeral Lommel (Luikersteenweg 313, 3920 Lommel, Belgium) has the current prices published on their website, see:
    http://www.oeral.be/index.php?nav=stations&stationid=51
    I would be more than happy to write a small application that would convert these and push them to the appropriate landmark.
    Currently there's no…

  16. To be able to report something on a road you are near to but not actually on, a road you can see or hear but your car is not on that road

    I tried to do so today and could not not report it on the nearby road right near me but also could not fix the error when it tried to pick the road I was on instead of the road I was near. More editing capability to unreport something erroneous and to touch the nearby location and say the problem was there, not where I was standing but where I could see/hear.

  17. adjust hazard reporting to include where the problem is, IE left Shu

    Location of Hazard/Accident: It would be extremely helpful to be able to identify where a Hazard or Accident is IE: Left or Right Shoulder, Left or Right Lane or Center lane. This would allow wazers to adjust there positioning on the road to get through the problem area quicker by knowing to stay on the opposite side of where the problem has been reported.

  19. Automatically open keyboard after passenger confirmation

    At least on the Android client, after hitting the passenger confirmation button, the keyboard does not automatically pop up. The user must press in the blank a second time. Please program the keyboard to open immediately after pressing "passenger".

  20. Improve the Waze iPhone API

    Improve the Waze iPhone API. Currently only the features are available using he waze:// api:
    http://www.waze.com/dev/documentation/

    The new google maps app has much much more capability:
    https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/urlscheme

    I would love to be able to create a one tap navigate using waze link to all of my contacts in my address book. I can't do this currently because only queries are possible, plus the queries can't default to a specific search, further you can't navigate to a long/lat. for address which aren't known to waze... These would be very helpful!
