Different voice recognition engine
I have a Samsung S3, and I have have the worst success with the voice recognition engine in Waze. Almost every time I have tried to use it, it asks me to repeat myself three times before it cancels. I do not have these problems with other apps (Google Now, S Voice, TouchPal, Robin). Is it possible to improve the voice recognition engine or allow the user to use a different one while speaking to the Waze client?

enable svox tts
Enable use of SVOX TTS. They have very friendly voices and since I've paid for them, it would be nice to have the same voice for this app as I have for everything thing else. Not a "show stopper" by any means but it would be nice. WONDERFUL PROGRAM! WELL DONE.

Waze client menu not entirely displayed on the screen!
I cannot understand why my Menu popup is not completely displayed on my screen though space is wide enough to accept this (Samsung Galaxy S3 ) I only get the 2 upper rows of icons, but the lower one (Reports, My Friends and Settings) is truncated.As a result, I have to slide the menu up before being able to select "Settings" for example.

I want to give waze the routes I want to use for my commute by drawing them on a map & have it show me those route not the ones it selects?
I want to give waze the routes I want to use for my commute by drawing them on a map & have it show me those route not the ones it selects? Either draw it not the route map or enter a list of routes under my commute routes. Learning does not seem to be accurate or quick. I have done my route for 14 years I know the options it would be easy to draw a main route and set option segments. This would make the tool much more appealing quickly and more useful with less interaction while driving.…

include a live odometer (android)
As a bicyclist, I don't get a spedometer nor an odometer with my bike. Instead of paying an extra $200 for the setup, I decided to mount my phone to my bike hence me using waze, and having a difficult time deciding whether or not I should use waze, or a diff app for my trips as I like keeping track of my speed, distance, and time for my various trips.
If you can include a hud or at least an indicator for distance traveled, that would be awesome. I'm liking the inDrive app style

Route info on widget
Currently the widget displays time to work or home and gives some indication of the traffic conditions. I wish it would show something about which route it chose for that info without having to click the Drive! button.

Show "merge" when road name changes
Some paths go on roads crossing city boundaries and the road changes or the road only goes in one direction but the road name changes, it would be nice to see an arrow with name change.
Some paths go through a ramp or lane merge that do not show because it is the only path possible, but the name of the road changes, or the direction (turning right since it is the only possible route) which is misleading when you know you have to turn right but Waze says the next turn is left.

Request cancelled webpage with more info
On follow my drive, if you type in the URL incorrectly, or if the other person turned off waze, you get a "Request Cancelled" message on the web.
I have an IT background, so I understand the meaning behind "Request cancelled". But most people I know have absolutely no idea what that means.
The page should say a bit more, in layman's terms. Kind of like a 404 page. For example:
Sorry, this user's drive is not currently viewable. This could be because of several reasons:
Check your URL. Maybe you mistyped it?
The user is not connected to Waze…
