show street name currently on
It would be great to show the name of the street you're currently on, as well as that of the next turn. Also, show the name of the street you're on when not in navigation mode.
347 votesGreat news. Current street name is now always visible at the bottom of the screen.

Voice Navigation "And Then"
When I need to turn right and then immediately turn left, the voice navigation should tell me "Turn Right and then Turn Left," instead of "Turn Right" and once I do say "Turn Left," so that I can prepare for the immediate turn.

Lane Guidance
While using Waze on highways lately, I have begun to think that having the ability to see what lane becomes the off ramp would be great, especially in complex city interchanges.
Portuguese: Estava usando o Waze em rodovias e comecei a pensar que seria ótimo ter a capacidade de ver qual pista pegar, especialmente em trevos complexos dentro das cidades.
Spanish: Últimamente me he dado cuenta que al utilizar waze en capitales se hace muy necesario que waze indique cual carril de una calle, avenida o autopista, llega a ser una rampa, especialmente en complejos intercambios.

Mute all sounds in Waze, not just navigation.
A lot of times, while I'm listening to music, Waze will make a sound when I eat fruit or if it needs to recalculate the route I'm taking. However, if I'm going the wrong way and not able to safely use my phone, I do not want to be annoyed the whole time by the redirecting sound. If music is playing at the time, any sounds from Waze turn the music down temporarily. It makes me feel as if someone is about to call me.

Show all notifications as popup
I like that all the notifications: police, traffic, accidents, missing notifications are displayed as 1 km, it currently only shows the police, but it would be good to include all the others, one may thus slow down or take alternate routes

native keyboard
Hi, I would much prefer to use symbian touch screen keypad to write text instead of Wazes key pad which is too small and awkward to use. An option could be added to allow people to choose what they would prefer to use like in the opera browser app.

Full screen buttons for reporting (or even the menus)
Make the reporting menu fullscreen and rearrange the layout so that it becomes easier to press a button.
You could do the same thing to the main menu as well. Makes it easier to navigate through the menus while driving...109 votes -
Let users contribute GPS traces to Open Street Map
I just don't see why waze hasn't fully embraced www.openstreetmap.org I've been asking since day one for a way to contribute my GPS traces to both waze and Open Street Map but my suggestion has been ignored so far. I think waze, Open Street Map and the community would all win if this collaboration happened. See http://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59225/suggestions/982979 for the cartouche suggestion.
3 votesas cougar mentioned, this is already possible under the archive of the edit map (cartouche). If you are not sure how to do this, please write to us – alpha@waze.com – and we will explain more

Turn off the GPS when exiting the app
On the iPhone when you exit the app, the GPS is still engaged. On other GPS apps, if there is no ACTIVE ROUTE, the GPS is turned off upon exit. This should be implemented in Waze.

"display off" mode
I'm driving a motorbike and I'm generally wazing to update map and / or inform the other wazers about the traffic on the road. So, my phone is in my pocket... It would be great if Waze could do that with the display of my phone off...
4 votesGreat news! Waze works with screen off. Set a route, block your phone, and you’re good to go with voice directions.

more screenspace ahead of the car in 2D mode
while driving in fixed North=up mode and in landscape the client could position the car/current location icon so that there would be more screenspace (and thus more useful information) ahead and less space (and thus much less useful information) behind the car
5 votesI believe this was resolved in Version 2.2. There’s more screenspace ahead while in navigation.

Before automatically reporting slowness/stoppage, give the driver a button to cancel the report
The waze client is very quick to report slowness or stoppage as a traffic problem. There may be other reasons for a slowdown--maybe the driver has pulled off the road or is waiting at a really long light.
My idea for coping with this: If the client notices a slowdown, play a special tone and put a button or pop-up on the screen for a short amount of time (5-8 seconds?). That will give the driver the option of cancelling an incorrect traffic report before it goes out.
Of course, it shouldn't be so obtrusive as to get in the…
37 votesAvailable on version 2.2 and on. When waze isn’t 100% sure about the traffic jam, it will ping and ask you to confirm you are in traffic.

Add ability to report gas prices
It would be nice if users could report gas prices... This would attract a LOT more wazers.
I don't mind having to manually enter the data, but reporting it could be as simple as taking a pic of the price sign with your phone, and on the server side, it gets interpreted and organized into grade of gas and price.
Wazers will then be able to search filtering out stations that have (or don't have) diesel, or if your vehicle requires higher octane, one will be able to filter out specific details to match their needs.

Post weather reports
Torrential rain, ice, tornado etc etc would all be useful information for other Wazers, just like Traffic Jams or accidents are. Can we have a quick weather report like moods with a limited validity time please?
7 votesweather hazards were added to the ‘hazard’ category in version 2.2. Drive safely!

Remove mood icon from road reports
Have you ever changed a mood icon when making a road report? Do you think it is useful to know that someone is angry when the post a traffic jam? This feature takes up room that could be used for other options such as editable quick texts that could be used to enhance road reports.
