Automatic switch between sleep and unsleep mode
It would be great (for saving autonomy) having a mode which turn the device screen into sleep mode (if Waze is active on the screen) and come back into active mode before some interesting action, such as a junction, an off ramp to drive, or eating roadgoodie. In the best case, the time the screen become active again would be dependant of speed.

Color/Icon for landmarks
It would be great to make different colors for different classes of landmark. Or to use scale-independent icons for (for example) gas stations.
I cannot visually separate the supermarket and it's parking.

Add option to stop scanning of reports when not moving.
Please add a possibility to stop scanning of reports when not moving. It can be annoying sometimes. I just want to observe surround streets while standing. And it also consumes additional traffic. Thank you.

camera first
As a user option, allow me to open camera immediately upon press of REPORT button (as opposed to choosing the report type). This way the photo op won't be gone by the time I fumble through the type of report to submit. After photo is taken, I'll choose the report type, type in the details, and submit everything.

when driving fast on highway, don't show side streets
When driving fast on a highway, the side streets and names clutter the screen and are not necessary. Removing them would probably also save data usage.
1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Make Primary Streets/Streets Visible from Farther Zoom Levels
In client, streets and primary streets disappear after zooming out only a few levels. Similar to Google Maps when zoomed out, streets are still visible from farther zoom levels, just scaled down appropriately.

Interchange guidance method in ver. 2.2 is wrong. Revert to 2.0 method.
In version 2.2 (Android & iPhone) the written guidance in interchanges was changed. It tries to look-ahead and gives guidance based on the ramp exiting the interchange.
This is inconsistent with the way guidance worked in version 2.0 and therefore inconsistent with the ramp's naming in the Waze map. It leads to confusing guidance that does not match the actual road signs.
This is really dangerous as it increases drivers' confusion in the interchange.
Please revert the guidance method to the way it was in version 2.0For details see http://www.waze.co.il/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=9996&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15#p59430 (in Hebrew)

Make the Interstate Highways Stand out more with a Different Color
Sometimes it's difficult to get your bearings on where exactly you are on the Waze Map. It would help, I believe, if you made the Interstate Highways Stand out more prominently perhaps with a different color so as you can see the main arteries of travel to better base yourself and understand very quickly where exactly you are on the map!

Increase the number of polygons on the map
In Live-map the map is well drawed & high level detailed. But when i see same region in Waze-client its not looks so fine, because at least half of polygons was optimized. Its makes Waze-client looks badly & not so attractive.

Add a grid on the background instead of the uniform grey colour.
This would increase the "sensation" of perspective and, if the grid is at fixed size (example 100x100 meters) would also help in understanding how much space there's before next turn/crossroad/stop....

Location and type of landmark in search results
For easier identification of a landmark, it could be great, to know the settlement or road which is near it and the type of the landmark, after the name of the landmark, like this:

Turn off screen option
i think i would be great if you could turn off only the screen + lock the key, with let the data & gps active.
what for ?
in my case, i ride motorcycle and i can't place my cellphone on the carplug and the battery go quickly down without it. (because data, gps, screen consume big)
so i want to place it in my pocket and just have sound (trough my Earbuds) like that i'm aware when i'm crossing police trap, slow traffic etc....

Refresh the UI to match native platforms
I can only speak for iOS and Android, but it's disappointing that waze doesn't fit with the native UI styles in terms of the toolbars/buttons/menus.
I think a visual refresh would keep the attention of new users that may be turned off currently, and would certainly please a regular user like myself too. ;)

Share Scoreboard Info on Facebook
None of the current sharing options for Facebook are appealing to me and the people I know using the client. We would love to share when we hit certain milestones and/or have weekly reports of our Waze Scoreboard progress. This allows us to share Waze with our Facebook friends without revealing our locations (road reports, directions to where we are going). I think sharing these achievements would be the quickest/most effective way to promote Waze on Facebook

Points ticket no longer working on latest Blackberry version
On the Blackberry, the latest version (2.0.2.3) no longer shows the point ticker when collecting points. When you look under View My Points the New Points section is blank. That said it still does seem to be counting new points just not showing them anywhere.

Display interstate/highway shields on client map.
Right now the live maps can display highway shields with limited functionality. Adding this ability to the client maps (and expanding its scope, as right now it is only partially functional) would really make it easier to orient yourself when viewing the map.
It would be nice if it was an option, as well... so you could disable it (like you can disable road goodies or other things) if you don't want to view them.
