Adding Smash and Grab to the report page
Please add "Smash and Grab" to the report page. We have a lot of this in South Africa. Perpetrators smash the passenger side windows and steal things from cars when people are stuck in peak hour traffic. there was an incident like this today and I could not report it

Suggest the "Major Accident" icon be outlined in red to stand out
Suggest the "Major Accident" icon be outlined in red to stand out. There currently is no differentiation between a minor accident and a major accident. Since a major accident can significantly affect your driving time (avoiding the resulting traffic jam) where a minor accident (fender bender on the side of the road) won't, it is important to differentiate. Suggest a bold red outline on the icon.

Too many detours off the route and then right back to the same route
We were driving last night using the app and numerous times it wanted us to exit, make 8 or so turns and return to the same route! Very distracting and it was late!

why is there no ambulance car option? and option to show hospitals on map? I am an EMT who uses Waze at work all the time!
Add ambulance icon to car options, and an option to show hospitals, maybe even the closest ER facility to current location! I use Waze all the time at work as an EMT, and while the first suggestion would just be a treat for those, like me, in the EMS field, the second option would have the ability to assuage new EMTs fears of not knowing the closest hospital facility (we cover ALL of Colorado, though mainly Denver metro area, but still a huge area to learn when you're new).

pre-select most commonly used updates into nav screen buttons
Have one main button on the navigation map screen that when pressed dynamically separates into 6 buttons (3 on the left [upper corner, midlevel, lower corner], 3 on the right). This would cut down on the clutter when an update is not needed.
Allow the user to customize these buttons to their most commonly used ones. For me, they would be car on the shoulder, heavy traffic, and hidden cop. If the update was on my side of the road, I would customize these to the right 3 buttons. If they were on the opposite side, I could customize these…

Multiple Entries in the Phone D <irectory.
The initial setup populated my phone directory with duplicates making it now three times larger, separating each Google account. It should only attach itself to the primary account directory and give the option to include or exclude contacts.

Please add the ability to search for closest poi to my current route.
If I am already driving using your app, I would like the ability to search for food, a bank, or a coffee shop not too far off my route. You guys already calculate the time off route but if you add my suggestion it would make your app that much better.

Andoid
When in "Sounds Only" mode it would be nice to receive an audible notification when ETA has been changed due to traffic and/or when a better alternate alternate route becomes available. Often ppl put sounds to "Alerts Only" mode when they drive routine routes and do not keep an active watch on the display.

Transparent notification and navigation bars
Waze can make both nav and notifications bar of Android transparent. That way we can have a more immersive map app.

positions of reported locations are too far down the road, probably due to entry time. Suggest capture location on first screen touch
Add feature to disable audible directions but keep audible alerts. Directions when I know the way are annoying.

iPhone Reporting
It would help if your location could freeze while you're making a report that way the location is more accurate. Now when you make a report your passing the location almost a mile before you get a chance to put in the information

add option to send waze' ETI to friend
I suggest you add a new feature, to up update friends on your estimated time of arrival to destination, while navigating.
Something like- "will be there in x / at y" would be very helpful. Automatic follow up message can be optional.1 vote -
I'm thinking on replacing my car's speedometer with it
I like your app so much, I'm thinking of replacing my car's speedometer with it. Can you recommend a 7"~8~ tablet with GPS that would work well in that role. I will dedicate the tablet for that purpose.

Speed Trap notifications
I'd like to see permanent or semi-permanent notifications for known speed traps. I'd also like to post about said traps so others don't get caught but can't figure out how to drop a notification remotely
