  2. Post report via swipe movement.

    Allow smart phone users to do a quick report on a few most common reports by swiping their finger accross the phone. ex. police: swipe finger from left to right on the center of screen. General Hazard on road draw a circle on the screen. hazard on should draw a 1/2 circle on bottom of phone. etc. and allow users to turn off/on feature and to decide what motion reports what.... this would allow for fast and easy reporting with keep eyes on road.

  4. Integrate with retail location finders

    Can you integrate with web or native app location finders to help add a stop or diversion en route? For instance integrate with the Starbucks location finder to indicate where the nearest Starbucks is on my current route (ahead of me, not behind), so I can divert there. Could be Home Depot, Movie Theater, etc. Perhaps look for installed apps on setup?

  5. I love this program... most of the time..... I does tend to send me on some really strange routes.

    This isn't an idea, more than a comment and frustration vent. Quite often, WAZE will get me within sight of my destination, on a straight, correct path, and then tell me to basically go around the block or some other additional route for no apparent reason. I use the program for driving limousines and it's a little frustrating with clients in the car.

  7. Add voice command for other countries

    I think voice command should be made available to other countries too since that way it`ll be much easier to navigate and report.

  9. Navigation at par with Google Maps

    Speak Navigation at par with Google Maps. Waze requires far too much editing in a search bar and selecting or changing search engines. One easy to press button while driving and voice command option becomes available and choices that are within your area. I asked to navigate to Lowes Home Improvement and Waze found one in another state, Goole maps showed 4 within the city listing the closest first with addresses, telephone numbers (which had an option to press and it would automatically dial and connect) and a button to launch navigation or just directions. All on one row that…

  11. Share my ride

    Sharing my ride with other waze members for example start a group "westchester to east side manhattan " once they join they get a warning befor you are leaving or can see on smartphone where to wait for the ride
    The rout will have few stops and each rider will contribute to gas cost through waze leaving a service fee with waze
    This is a nice way to share and save energy

  15. Roles for Wazers

    Suggestion: I'd like to see users be able to select 'roles' so some users can be 'law enforcement' and others can be Dept of Transportation and such. This would require some type of 'vetting' by either using an official email or by requiring users to receive a minimum # of matching alerts (police roadside) at the same location as a wazer who has selected 'law enforcement). I have a number of cop friends who would love to be able to use waze while on duty and the public know where they are. I suspect this would also give other government…

    Hi, i have a wish for a new function. I had an experience and it pop up then. I had a flat tyre and need a bottle of fix spray.
    1. I wold like to add a accident where I'm.
    2. The accident should contain information of what I need.

    Ps. By the way I love your app, and just find the function to send a pick up SMS where to pick up. Wow! Super!

  17. Sometimes screen gets grayed out after some alert pops up and I become unable to tap and move the map

    When an alert pops up, the map gets grayed out, and after it closes out, sometimes the map stays grayed out forever, so it is inaccessible and I cannot scroll it to see the route ahead. The only way of fixing this is by closing Waze, removing the running app from the memory and opening Waze again, and then it needs to recalculate the route.

  18. Allow the same place to be set as HOME and WORK

    I (and I guess several other waze users) work and live at the same building/address. Home office or shared use, it doesn't matter. There could be an option to set them as the same place.

  20. add prompt to go straight at intersection

    at the moment, the default navigation of waze says nothing when you're supposed to go straight through an intersection. this is problematic in cases where after a long straight there are two intersections closely after one another and sometimes it is tough to guess how many '800/400/200metres' actually are, so you end up turning one turn too soon.
