  2. use Android API for event buttons and text input

    to report traffic/event irrelevancy it is darn hard to hit that tiny round button with a caret (>) at the end of the event item. instead I should be able to use a long press on a much broader list item to pop up the menu. also, the menu that pops up ought to be from the API. it would create bigger buttons (better for touch sensitive devices) and makes for a much more consistent device use experience plus it would make it more accessible while driving. More accessible means less accidents.

    also text input. there seems to be no…

  3. geotagged photo's

    Add a function to take geotagged photo's and show them on the map. This way you can take a picture of a street sign, and later enter the street name in cartouche without having to look it up on another map

  4. Notifications in Android Notification bar when Waze is in the background

    I would like to see an icon popup next to the Waze icon in the Android Notification bar when people send a Ping, comment to your chat, or when an event like police or accidents have been reported. This would be useful when Waze is in the background.

  5. Have client present auto-off if removed from charging

    I sometimes make frequent stops during a trip, and it is an annoyance to have to start and stop the client so that it doesn't give false heavy traffic reports. If I am in the car, I always have the phone on a charger. if the client senses that the phone is no longer charging, have a pop-up box ask if the application should be turned off.

  6. Send a text message when delayed and/or shortly before arriving

    Waze can send twitter-messages, but with the new APIs in iOS4 it could send textmessages (SMS) as well. When entering a destination for routing, one could also select a mobile phonenumber (of the person we are driving to) so that significant delays are reported automatically to this person. Also, waze could send a SMS some minutes before arriving at the destination. This comes really handy when you want to pick someone up!

    When I say "automatically" - I mean that Waze pops up a dialog that you only have to confirm.

  8. Loading Status

    I find that usually waze appears to load quite quickly, but will then freeze intermittently and loosing GPS lock whilst actually finishing 'loading' (Contacting server etc). It would be good it some form of message or progress bar could be shown so that it is obvious that it is still loading and not actually frozen

  9. Use special tiles for not downloaded areas

    Let the waze client use a special tile for not downloaded areas. When on a slow connection you sometimes realise there's no road where you are, so you enable construction mode just to realise a minute later that the roads in the area just weren't finished downloading to your phone yet.

  10. Automatically switch off 'Record new road' feature

    As an area manager, it is a headache to keep deleting small segments of road alongside existing roads, caused by GPS inaccuracies where a user has left the 'record new road' feature switched on. I think it would be a good idea to have the client automatically switch off the feature if the user has been travelling on an existing road for a set period of time, for example, 2 minutes.

  12. Enable spontaneous driving communities with waze

    I am very fascinated from waze and see a big future for it, also for extended purposes, e.g. car pooling or spontaneous driving communities in the future, maybe with a system of points for inviting people in my car or commuting in the cars of other people after a waze-communicated invitation. Such a new feature would be a worldwide unique innovation with the potential to revolutionize the mobility habits of the society and to preserve the world-wide resources of fossil energy sources.

  13. Integrate TTS in Catalan for speed camera alerts / Integrar TTS en català per a les alertes de càmeres de velocitat

    My suggestion is for the following feature:
    Enable Catalan for speed camera alerts
    My suggestion solves this problem:
    Fix the issue where, when the app is set to Catalan, the TTS alerts are heard in other languages.
    In more words:
    When you have a language set in your app, you expect all features to be in your selected language

    La meva suggerència és per a la següent funció:
    Activar el català per a les alertes de càmeres de velocitat.
    La meva suggerència resol aquest problema:
    Corregir el problema on, quan l'aplicació està configurada en català, les alertes TTS es reprodueixen…

  15. Criar a versão Bicicleta

    Criar a versão Bicicleta, atualmente a versão nao vê subidas e descidas de relevo o que atrasa o trajeto de bike. Atualmente o app faz rotas curtas mas nem sempre a rota mais curta é a mais rápida... Gosto muito do app mas para a versão bike não serve!

  17. Waze has been a wonderful Sat Nav. My suggestion is, can it be designed or produce it to be independent of phone.That is to have it Tomtom

    Waze has been a wonderful Sat Nav. My suggestion is, can it be designed or produce it to be independent of phone.That is to have it like Tomtom and Garmin, working without connecting to a phone. To have it as a device. I will buy it as well.

  18. Add Flacbox as an Audio Player / Integración de Flacbox como App de Reproducción de Audio

    I have a suggestion: how about integrating Flacbox, a popular audio player app, with Waze? Flacbox is known for its high-quality sound and support for various audio formats. Adding it to Waze would let users enjoy their favorite music without interruptions while navigating, making the driving experience even better.

    Me gustaría sugerir la integración de Flacbox, una popular aplicación de reproducción de audio. Flacbox se destaca por su alta calidad de sonido y su compatibilidad con diversos formatos de audio. Esta integración permitiría a los usuarios disfrutar de su música favorita sin interrupciones mientras navegan, mejorando la experiencia de conducción.

  20. Abbiegehinweis

    Wäre es nicht besser, außerhalb von Ortschaften, anstatt einen Straßennamen anzusagen, den Ort der auf dem Schild steht, in die Richtung in die man abbiegen soll, anzusagen/anzuzeigen? Zum Beispiel... Biegen sie links ab in Richtung Berlin. Anstatt biegen sie links ab, auf Straße XY. Zumal der Straßenname außerorts eh fast nie dran steht.
    Ich finde das viel sinnvoller.
