  1. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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 2.0

  10. Add a grid on the background instead of the uniform grey colour.

    This would increase the "sensation" of perspective and, if the grid is at fixed size (example 100x100 meters) would also help in understanding how much space there's before next turn/crossroad/stop....

  11. Points ticket no longer working on latest Blackberry version

    On the Blackberry, the latest version (2.0.2.3) no longer shows the point ticker when collecting points. When you look under View My Points the New Points section is blank. That said it still does seem to be counting new points just not showing them anywhere.

  12. Share Scoreboard Info on Facebook

    None of the current sharing options for Facebook are appealing to me and the people I know using the client. We would love to share when we hit certain milestones and/or have weekly reports of our Waze Scoreboard progress. This allows us to share Waze with our Facebook friends without revealing our locations (road reports, directions to where we are going). I think sharing these achievements would be the quickest/most effective way to promote Waze on Facebook

  14. have client generate text file of all unallowed moves while driving to view on computer

    I know the system technically does this automatically but I was thinking today as I was going through the cartouche fixing every intersection in my hometown, how it'd be handy if the client generated a text file showing all the things you did that you "shouldn't" have. Almost every intersection in my area has restricted turns that simply don't exist (it's a small town, there's only one turn restriction and no one ways, so i realize this is easier than most) but I was thinking it'd be handy if I could open a txt file generated by the client that…

  15. Resolve GPRS/EDGE connectivity issue

    Wifi works great, but when I am on road or trying to connect via GPRS, Waze rarely connects. On the web and on the Waze forums itself this issues is litterred numerous times, with various people discovering different ways which made it work for them. None of them, unfortunately worked for me. This means that on road, I have no Waze connectivity for updates. Bad. This should be a critical issue to be put on top priority.

  16. Install a button to Report desable car

    Several times a back up is create by a desable car on the road and because Im driving is to complicate to chose road hazard and also tape desable car.
    For that reason I think a fast way to report this type of events will help all wazers

  17. Remember Events filter

    I would like the client to remember the setting I select for filtering Events. "Around Me", "On Route" and "My Groups" are great filters, but when I return to the map/driving view, I want my Events count at the top to be filtered and when I tap on it/select it, I want my Events report list to still be filtered by the same criteria.

  19. Navigate through alerts popups

    There have been many times when I'm stopped and Waze is cycling through the different alerts that people have reported and I'll see the tail end of one and then it changes and I have no way to go back to see it again.

    I would like to see a forward, backwards, and don't show this alert again option.

  20. Road goodies icons smaller or display under other objects

    I understand the incentive idea of road goodies, and also understand you can just turn them off. But I would prefer another option which is either to make them smaller in size or be "under" other items (IE: roads, route, traffic coloring, etc.)
