  1. Startup sequence is misarranged; initial direction; use accelerometer; easier access to 2d map

    I'll describe the problem by describing my experience. Often I'm in a hurry to get directions and go. I start Waze and there's a relatively long wait (4 sec) for the splash screen to pass--understandable, but still a minor annoyance. Then I just want to get to Navigate so I can get my route. But Waze is busy drawing the map for 2-3 sec, which I don't need to see right now. At last I get to Navigate. I select my destination from my favorites and the machine starts route-searching.

    Only at this point does Waze decide to display a…

  2. provide a Navigation Prompt whenever the road name changes.

    This is needed in two scenarios:
    When a turn from Smith Ave to Jones Street, for example, is slight enough the client provides no direction. No matter how slight the angle of entry to a new road is, the client should say "turn right" or "slight right" on the road with a different name than the current road. This is especially confusing if Waze is running in the background, since my eyes are telling me I'm at an interchange and Waze isn't providing direction.

    Also, when the road you are driving on changes names but continues straight in the same…

  6. Be able to put the speed at the speed trap that exist or a new one. Like price at gas station.

    We should be able to configure the speed of that speed trap, editing or during the creation and it should appears at the pop up of the speed trap.

  7. Allow the user to select their preferred default search

    This should be easy to add to the Waze iPhone app. All I want is a user selectable default search setting. I'm usually searching for an address when I use waze and it defaults to my contacts always which is annoying. Others might prefer yelp, or contacts, whatever.

  9. Auto-Replay Messages, when in use...

    I have. Razr Maxx, and everytime I drive the Smart Actions, auto answer the SMS, but only replay the SMS... A very good option for Waze, will be Auto-Replay messages from Viver, What'sApp, e-Mail, etc.

  11. add a parameter for choise a for mode orientation

    Add a parameter for choise a orientation manualy of the device, and not set with the gyroscope.
    I propose :
    Automaticaly => giroscope
    Landscape => manual
    ReverseLandscape => manual
    Portrait => manual

    its better for choise for user :)

  12. Better direction instructions - instead of current wayfinder segment work-aound

    Wayfinder segments (‘street’ > ‘direction’) look like a pure workaround to me and for good reasons they are primarily used for ramps entering a freeway or at freeway intersections.

    For intersections within a city or other non freeway roads outside of cities there is no satisfying solution as the street name often is NOT the best navigation instruction.

    This is a critical issue in countries like Germany where “smaller” roads often are neither known by their numbers nor by their street names.

    A “new” „wayfinder“ feature should not miss-use the semantics of the street name field.
    Instead we should have…

  15. Update this with a real GPS view map!

    Love this app but can't fully replace my gps navigator with it just yet. I do a lot of deliveries and when driving without navigation, a real GPS device will say on the top of the screen upcoming street also if u are somewhere and don't know where u touch your vehicle it shows u the closest address by u. This is a safety feature... Please add! This app only gives u the hundred block

  18. Navigation enhancement

    For navigation when you type in address that you have inputed before there should be a way of selecting it (auto fill) such as the mapquest iphone app instead of the need to type the whole thing over again.

  19. Self accident(by impact) detection and reporting automaticaly

    Some(maybe many) lives could be saved if Waze could detect accident situation with its user.

    It would listen to phone's accelerometer and after huge amplitude of indices form phone accelerometer and rapid, complete stop/non acceleration for about minute, it could ask user/driver for response.

    If driver is not responding on phones flashing/signaling/dialog on screen, then big chance that driver is in trouble and Waze could send signal of SOS to closest users and even to local administrators to check out situation. Maybe this feature could be used by local 911/112 as well. If not for immediate rescue then for locating…

  20. Be able to view a summary list of delays and congestion

    Have a menu option to be able to view at a glance the delays and congestion on your route. Whilst it's ok to see there are delays on the "Go" screen you can't easily tell where they are or how they will affect you.
