  2. 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.

  4. 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…

  6. 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

  10. 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!

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. Expose detailed route data on Web dashboard

    It'd be great to have specific route times-of-day - not just duration. It would be very useful to compare routes, or the same route, over the course of the day. Perhaps I could learn when would be the best time to start my commute.

  17. Change the way Waze avoids tolls

    Waze does not work well to route to locations that require a toll if you have the avoid tolls setting on.

    My current understanding is that waze chooses the route with the fewest segments marked as toll segments. Instead it should count a continuous segment without exits or intersections as one toll and choose the fastest route.

  19. Day / Night detemination in New Zealand

    Day / Night / Auto mode observation: I am in New Zealand. I have noticed that the waze iOS app thinks that it is night time until 12noon when Waze suddenly realises that it is the middle of the day and that it should really be displaying day time mode.
    This suggests to me that the algorithm associated with determining day/night time is not properly considering timezones.
    The apps should be taking local time, and only local time to determine day/night mode. And allowinging in sunride/sunset should be region sensitive.

    The fact that it currently changes at 12noon does suggest…

  20. QR Car Adhesive

    Hello! I'm from Brazil and I would like to suggest to Waze create a type of QR car adhesive in order to expand the relationship with those are stuck in the traffic. This adhesive could be the image of the users avatar's. The driver pick-up the QR code in the car nearby from him, take a pic and than, post it in waze. Waze get's the contact and let they talk. It could solve a problem of mine, cause every time I wonder somebody is near of me, just to get in touch, they disappear from my screen.
    Thanks.
