  1. Voice too harsh when it initially comes on

    When the voice starts speaking the voice is much too harsh and is startling. Smooth the sound profile so the initial syllabul isn't so harsh

  2. time to leave airport

    Currently when an e-mail reservation is received on my iphone/ipad in gmail, i don't know if it is gmail or waze that detects it and creates a calendar entry for the flights.

    Waze incorrectly determines that the flight departure time is the time I need to be at the airport when in reality Waze needs to detect that it is a flight departure and that i need to actually be at the airport 1.5-2 hours before departure and thus the time to leave needs to be adjusted accordingly.

  6. traffic light sequence

    Major cities have synchronized traffic lights.
    I'd suggest a couple of Waze features to help drivers make use of these systems:
    1. indicate the optimal (real time) speed to "catch" the light sequence and optimize mpg by avoiding stops and braking
    2. reroute to side streets to "parallel" dense traffic that's too slow to catch the light synchronized sequence (e.g. 19th ave, hwy 1 along main beach, geary blvd during commute hours)
    3. learn the real time light sequences (especially to sync the cross streets for the whole route, e.g. going from 25th ave to geary blvd ... miss the…

  7. avoid bus routes

    I'd like to be able to route to avoid getting stuck behind a bus.
    Waze could:
    1. avoid roads that are bus routes during heavy traffic hours
    2. "detect" when a wazer is probably stuck behind a bus -- prompt for "stuck behind a bus? reroute?"
    3. see also my "choke buster" mode suggestion

  8. Two-way stops are very dangerous

    I hate two-way stops -- they're dangerous in both directions!
    1. I'd like to route to avoid two-way stops (where reasonable ... no zigzagging, but choosing a more circuitous route should be an option to improve safety)
    2. I'd like to avoid arriving at the "stop" direction of a two-way stop in almost all cases
    3. this is like the infamous ("unsafe left") and I'd like to have a "right turn only" mode where arriving at a two-way against the stop to turn right is okay, but to go straight or turn left is a no-no.
    4. see also my…

  9. Announce or read notifications and make it possible to recall a notification that you don't see in time.

    While I was watching traffic while waiting to make left hand turnout of a driveway, I glanced at the Waze screen and saw the last line of a notification disappear. It said "is nine minutes faster." I wanted to grab it and pull it back down, but it was gone. Why didn't it read itself to me? Why isn't there a button to recall it? I'd like both, but I would settle for one.

  15. Waze to initiate pre-determined reply to texts when driving

    I want waze to initiate a pre-determined text reply automatically when I am driving, note automatically, so it switches on and off according to when I am driving using Waze. I would set my reply to say: "I'm driving at the moment so please call me as I can't read your texts but can speak to you using bluetooth. This text has been sent to you by Waze navigation app."

  16. Allow push notifications for people surrounding a temporary road closure to know about temporary parking violations and planned road closure

    For someone like me that only checks my mail 1-2 times a week, receiving a paper notification of a road closure or temporary parking violations may not always work.

  17. "Do not disturb" - silence for safety

    There are apps that block or mute messages and calls that interrupt the driver. Though, One must be aware, remember and start these apps before every ride. I recommend Adding a "silence" option in waze setting. The option should allow to block calls,messages, FB etc. individually or all at once.

  18. LitterGram Car Mode

    LitterGram is a popular app in the UK and is quickly becoming the new way for 40m smartphone users to report litter to councils so they can clean it up. We are about to trial LitterGram car mode which will allow drivers to hit a button on their steering wheel whilst driving and map the littered roads/highways/lanes. Britain is the 3rd most littered nation globally and has a serious problem. This new feature will help clean up our highways and make driving in our country a better experience for the motorist. It would be great to see if you could…

  19. Specify how many miles or hours you want to drive a day and get suggestions

    Let's say I'm traveling from Tampa, FL to Denver, CO, and I only want to drive 8 hours per day. I would like Waze to suggest where I should stop (city), lodging near an interstate and even restaurants/happy hours. You should be able to specify hours or miles a day.
