  1. To stop WAZE from automatically shutting down

    Could it be possible to keep WAZE active, until the user closes the app down. Ok here is what WAZE has done for years. You activate waze, put in your route and go. You then minimize Waze. Waze happily stays active if you are on the move. BUT become stuck in traffic, Waze will just shutdown. Could Waze be designed to not shutdown the app if minimised, when you are stuck in traffic. It is so annoying. You won't realise Waze is shutdown unless you look at your phone screen and fire Waze back up again, which well then say…

  3. Áreas de Perigo

    Saudações! Creio que áreas perigosas, como favelas e outras areas de risco, como ocorre no Rio de Janeiro e outras grandes deveriam ser demarcadas e contornáveis, conforme desejo do usuário. E as áreas de risco também deveriam ser sempre alteradas aos usuários.

  5. instead of using feet when turn is less that 4/10 a mile a way it would be less confusing to use tenths of a mile.

    it would be easier to use tenths of a mile before the turn than feet. until you are less than 1/10 th of a mile away. most other mapping programs do this and it is less confusing

  6. be able to track mileage weekly

    I think there should be a way to see what weekly mileage totals are. A simple forward space separating weekly / career would suffice.

  7. Emergency Mode

    In states of emergency, such as natural disasters, hurricane, floods, earthquakes. It would be nice if Waze switched to "Emergency Mode" in this mode you can mark gas stations as having gas or not with notes about long lines. Ads would be removed and replaced with the location of emergency services (Hospitals, shelters) and locations can be marked with water/canned food/ propane..

  8. I'm just curious if your algorithms take into account the lack of school traffic in the summer.

    Summer traffic is lighter. Averages over the entire year will be diluted.

  13. A 'University' stock favorite like 'Home & Work'

    It would be nice to be able to have another stock favorite, like Home and Work, called University.
    I know I can have it just as a favorite, but I think having a 'University' tab under 'Work' and above 'Favorites' would be convenient. It could be optional too, that way it won't bother wazers who don't go to a University.

  14. Time Elapsed

    hope a new version will add "time elapsed" because that's important for us to know how much time we traveled or stuck on bad traffic

  17. Irish dialect voice

    Defects in machines speech can often be obscured by the machine speaking in a different dialect you speak. Irish are romanticized by Americans and this will be very popular Stateside.

  18. Safety Waze

    Ability to provide personal safety help/alert for walkers, cyclists, mountain bikers, hikers, skiers, boaters, drivers, etc. Set up Waze to track your route/activities and to alert those designated, including rescue personnel, if it does not receive the proper responses from you within the proper time.

  19. dont provide directions in areas that you don't have the need infrastructure. I will never use this app again. 4th Time on a 30min detour

    If you don't have the infrastructure to successfully navigate and provide directions to a certain geographic location; don't fucking provide directions. This is the 4th time that waze directions have sent me on a thirty minute detour. The last time sent me into a dead end. No light. Neighborhood. Ran out of gas and had to call AAA. I'm holding back the urge to have my attorney contact your company for liquidated damages and potential harm.
    I was a big fan of your app when I lived in la. But I will never use this app again. I will make…

  20. Traffic Direction/Headings - N, E, E, SW, etc.

    It would be helpful to know (and report) what direction/heading the heavy traffic is moving (or not moving) i.e. N, E, SW, etc
    When I see heavy traffic icons, I'm not sure if it is on my route or going the other way. I think it would benefit other Wazers, if I could alert traffic conditions in the opposite lanes as well... similar to Police or Accident "on the other side."
