Add option to display Gas Stations (as clickable icons) on main map screen without having to use menu.
Add the option to display gas stations on the main map as clickable icons, without having to go through the several menus (i.e. menu > gas > list > map... and all the way back) to visualize surrounding stations and return to main navigation map.
Clicking the gas station icons on the main map view should allow users to "navigate" directly to the gas station and also update the fuel prices (if within range).
Showing gas stations on the main map view has two main benefits:
Updating gas prices to nearby stations becomes much easier.
The user will have the…

Wave Hazard Spam
I have my sound option on Alerts Only and I get spammed w/ hazards and would like the option of turning off hazards, not only on the screen, but also on audio. I commute 45 minutes to work and 45 minutes home in Denver. I must pass 5 cars on the side of the road each way, and being on a freeway, it's more annoying than helpful, add in construction, red light cameras, and snow,, and the amount of alerts becomes annoying, especially as each one mutes my audio-book or Pandora and thus I miss a few lines in my…

When I arrive at a navigation destination, show the address
Frequently when I instruct Waze to navigate to an address, I don't readily know the address but have looked it up in an addressbook or email. When the destination is reached, Waze shows a checkered flag on the street, but it would be very handy to have the address displayed so I can identify which particular dwelling I'm going to

Support event driven notitfications to zapier or ifttt
It would be nice Waze could attach to other systems with events via for example zapier and/or ifttt. Events that I think of:
Starts navigation to 'lat/lon' (bookmarkname)
Arrives at destination
Is in traffic
Shares route
Is 1 hours, half hour, 15 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes away from its destinationLogs drive (from/to, starttime/endtime, distance traveled, (compressed) gpx attached.
This way everybody could easily make rules like
log {all} journeys to a google spreadsheet.
Or share my drive easily on facebook, twitter, etc.
Or, when I go {home} between {16:00} and {19:00} share that drive with {spouse}.
Or, when…

Turn by turn (next turn) panel too big
Is there a way to make turn by turn (next turn) smaller in landscape mode. Takes up to much of display. Possibly be able to hide it until you are within a certain distance from the turn. (This is on a Note 3)

Important! For safety - Add an option to stay away from unsealed roads
I used Waze when driving back home this weekend, for a 400km journey. There were traffic jams all along the main routes. Waze saved me an hour by routing me around the jams, but.....
I had two little kids in a two wheel drive car and Waze took me through roads better suited for four wheel drive vehicles - unsealed, dirt roads with no cellphone reception. The roads got bad until I was too far in and turning around wasn't even an option because it was too narrow.
This is a matter of safety. Some cars cannot handle unsealed dirt…

Use accelerometer to detect and report on bumpy roads, and offer option to route around them
Use the device's accelerometer to detect bumpiness in the road the user is currently driving on. Send this data to Waze, then use collective data on road bumpiness to offer a routing option so that users can favor driving on smoother roads. Possibly also tie into the existing systems to report/show potholes or road hazards.

Please add word wrap to map chat events
When someone posts a map chat the full message can't be viewed by other drivers because the text display only shows one line. Please let the display wrap text to show the full message.

Register your intended event at the location in which you first pressed the button, not the location you are at when you finally hit submit.
When I begin to register a comment such as a pothole in the road, or a problem with an intersection, the location is stored when I hit submit, rather than the location where I was at the time where I began to register the comment. My suggestion is to freeze the location until you hit submit.

An option to reduce the thickness size of streets and avenues!! Read the description to see examples!!
This option would greatly help in cases where there are many nearby streets and avenues, and bridges above these streets and avenues, not allowing us to see clearly the way we should go, or if we must keep at right or left on the track.
For example this screenshot:

Android Samsung galaxy note 3 multi window feature.
Would love to use it with other apps. This limits me to only use one app. With Google maps I can listen to YouTube or a music app while I see and hear directions. Thanks.

setup actions for use by trigger (app)
I use an app called trigger to start waze when I get into my car. It allows actions to be executed on apps. (Eg for music player it can start playing music, stop playing etc) Would it be possible to set actions that allow actions to be executed by such programs? Simple things like start navigating home/work/close?
