Add option to Avoid Tunnels
For various reasons drivers may wish to avoid tunnels when navigating. This should be an option along side with Avoid Highways and Avoid Toll Roads.

Enhanced Hazard Reporting by adding "Affecting Flow of Traffic" option
Everybody has seen a car on the side of the road but how many of those are actually affecting the flow of traffic? People post them to gain points but often times it is not useful information.

Would like to be able to move a marked hazard.
Sometimes I can't report a hazard in the exact location due to having to drive. When I finally am able to mark a location, I am often far away from the actual event.

Make pop-up traffic notifications smaller or more discrete.
Pop-up traffic notifications are too big. I can't see the road in question, especially since many roads in don't have names and I need visual clues to know exactly where the congestion is. It would really help to have a more discrete notification in a bar above or below the main view while the map pans over to the road in question.

Hazard on the Shoulder
When selecting a hazard on the shoulder, there is only an option for a car on the shoulder. How about adding truck on the shoulder?

Time lapse photos
On road trips it would be a cool feature to have a time lapse photo feature that can post to Facebook or Twitter as I am heading to my destination.

I would like to tap the ETA to iMessage my ETA to a preferred recipient (three buttons - most used, most recent, or from Contacts)
Tap the ETA button and a menu would pop-up with three buttons - 1. the recipient most frequently sent an ETA, 2. the recipient (different from 1.) most recently sent an ETA, and 3. Field that searches Contacts. Then iMessage the Wazer username, destination address, and ETA. Example: WazerUser1 will arrive at 531 17th Street, Milwaukee, WI at 10:25PM in 15 minutes. See you there!

China SNS Market
As you may already noticed Waze client in china is not very popular. One reason was translation quality is not acceptable, the other main reason is Waze integrated SNS function is not fully functional since China GOV is blocking facebook and twitter connections. To work around this Waze may just try integrate chinese based SNS network into client as plugins. Mentioned SNS providers includes "Sina WeiBo", "Netease WeiBo", "Tencent WeiBo" etc...

Allow Social Network Reporting of Speedlimits to improve accuracy of speedlimit database
If you allow the user base to report speed limits it would be more accurate than having a static database of speed limits. Also there should be an option for "Variable Speed Limit" for places where the speed limit changes depending on traffic (for example, I-90 and I-5 in Seattle, WA have variable speed limits that range from 30 to 60 mph). There should also be a temporary construction speed limit option in areas where there is construction--you can pop up a verification screen so users to confirm whether the construction speed limit still applies once or twice each day.

road alerts popups at red light
Make road alerts more gentle. I mean, a big opaque window eats up half of the screen, and waze scrolls back and forth.
My idea:
* make the popup smaller (just pictograms, smaller fonts)
* make it translucent
* don't scroll, just zoom out a bit, and show the direction if it won't fit on the map (like a cartoon bubble)5 votes -
Add Road Type

fewer touches to get navigation started
it seems to take a lot of clicks (er, touches) to get navigation started.
1) Enter (or speak) address
2) Choose from list of addresses (even if there's only one address)
3) Touch GO
4) Touch GO (again, can be skipped)tough to do if the car is already in motion. Or so I hear. I would never be mucking with my phone or tablet while in motion.

when showing the direction list, DON'T resize the text to fit in the box.
Resizing the text leads to some very small text. Instead, resize the box.

Option to upload a picture previously taken instead of just taking them from within the client.
I took a picture of an accident the other day. When deciding to report it to Waze right as I was passing it, I wanted to attach my picture but couldn't. Since I had just passed it, I also couldn't take a new picture.
I think the option to attach a picture stored on the phone would be very useful.

Alerting people about highway emptiness
One thing that could make it better would be to have the ability to say streets or highways are empty so people know before hand where to go if they should get on the highway or not.

Share and listen what others are listening to or personal radio station
How about an option to share with others what I'm listening to. Even going further and this one would catch like wildfire listen to people while they are driving like tuning in to their personal station, so if a person wants to share something they turn on their personal broadcast on . Sometimes advise , idea , entertainment comes while UR driving or u want to share with people whatever. So if a person likes a station they can like them and book mark them so they can listen to them next time.

Icons as option
iPhone app: can you please give an option to hide other people icon but I still want to get their data for road condition and warning. Some times there are always too many icons on freeway and its preventing to see road condition and other warnings! So it would be cool option to show or hide others

iPod assess while navigating
waze is an excellent navigation app. I waze is a great navigation app. I even think its better than google maps and motion gpx. The only feature that it is missing is access to your iPod on the iPhone while navigating, like motion gpx has . Please add this feature on.
