option for automatic bug reporting
When waze displays a message that it has encountered a bug and asks me if I would like to send it the timer is very short and I often cant tap OK in time while driving.
It would be great if there was a setting that allowed the user to select "always send bug/error reports"

Make lock button switch off the screen without locking it
It would be great if switching on/off the screen could be realized by the lock button with no need to unlock the screen. Code:
KeyguardLock kgLock;
public void onCreate() {
KeyguardManager kgm = (KeyguardManager) getSystemService(Activity.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
kgLock = kgm.newKeyguardLock(TAG);
kgLock.disableKeyguard();
}@Override protected void onDestroy() { kgLock.reenableKeyguard(); super.onDestroy(); } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); kgLock.reenableKeyguard(); } @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); kgLock.disableKeyguard(); }6 votes -

Not there outside routing
We need an option to report "Not There" on incidents, even if it's not on the planned route. Now it's only possible when a popup comes up for the planned route. The "Not There" option should be present on any popup when clicking on an incident icon, even if it's on the other lane or outside the planned route, but within viewing distance.

Display direction of new road (e.g. I-10 *West*)
Most of the time I get messed up using Waze is when I encounter a roadway or freeway turn where there may be immediate opportunity to go either way, e.g. I-10 East or I-10 West, or TriCity Parkway North vs. TriCity Parkway South. The display shows only "I-10" or "TriCity Parkway".

Add traffic light and bus stop option for the "Are you in traffic?" prompts.
Often times the slowdowns detected are due to traffic lights or bus stops.

Event alerts-"On Route" as a default
I am tired of seeing like 22 event alerts (cops, traffic, etc.) while driving my inputed route. when I hit the red exclamation mark it takes me to them and then I can select "On Route" to find out which one's only apply to the way I'm going...why not make the "On Route" button the default instead of "Around Me"???

Display photo from user report in popup
In the client, reports can have photos attached, e.g. a photo of the accident or roadworks site can be attached to the report. The photo is displayed on the waze website in the live map.
However, when other phone clients receive the road report, the photo is hidden and hard to display.This is a request to display the photo attached to the report maximized on screen for 5-10 seconds (together with a "report abuse" button) for hands-free operation of the client.

When searching for a location or place, should have the option to view the address instead of
Would be a nice idea to show the address when searching for a location, instead going to the "show on map" each time to view where the location is...very annoying!

Cache user updates when not connected.
When driving through areas with no cell coverage or internet connection, I would like to be able to make updates. Waze should cache any updates I make using the coordinates of where the update was made, and then upload them as soon as I get connected again.

fade out old road traffic instead of not showing at all
at the moment I can only see recent traffic reports, but not those that were reported for example 20minutes ago.
It would be much more helpful if the client would always show the latest reported road traffic status.
the color could be faded out over time to indicate how old a report is.
the client should offer an option of the maximum age of reports that should be displayed and if a wazer reports that the road is free again, then the old report needs to be removed.3 votes -
Are you in traffic?
When the system asks if you are in traffic?? you can answer yes or no. For the amount of times that you have stopped for a coffee or gas and there is no traffic...instead of the system assuming you are and then saying that "First street" is at a standstill...make the automatic answer no, then if we are we can answer yes. I think this will reduce the fake high traffic areas people complain about

Add a 1 mile event radius
In large cities 5 mile radius events take too long to cycle back to the close events. And 5 miles extremely far away from your driving route.

Allow other users to send address to my handheld client
Allow facebook friends, waze group members, etc. to send an address to my handheld client if I am online.
1) When an address is recieved by the client, ask the user to accept the route, reject the route or block all address pings.
2) If I don't have a route set, auto accept the aaddress after 10 seconds.
3) Add a new category to the Address Search dialog similar to My Favorites, Recent searches, Contacts, etc. List the received addresses for easy access.8 votes -
Report to Multiple Groups
When reporting a traffic jam or something like that, I'd like the possibility of reporting the incident to all the groups I belong to, and not just one of them

Interchange guidance method in ver. 2.2 is wrong. Revert to 2.0 method.
In version 2.2 (Android & iPhone) the written guidance in interchanges was changed. It tries to look-ahead and gives guidance based on the ramp exiting the interchange.
This is inconsistent with the way guidance worked in version 2.0 and therefore inconsistent with the ramp's naming in the Waze map. It leads to confusing guidance that does not match the actual road signs.
This is really dangerous as it increases drivers' confusion in the interchange.
Please revert the guidance method to the way it was in version 2.0For details see http://www.waze.co.il/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=9996&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15#p59430 (in Hebrew)
