  1. Advanced config options: GPS reboot cycle time

    Some phones need quite some time, after powering the GPS system on and off, to get a lock. It seems to me that waze, after not detecting a GPS lock after X seconds, power-cycles the GPS subsystem.
    It would be great (and very easy to add?) if there were some advanced config option to configure this behaviour, and select after how much time waze power-cycles the GPS system.

  2. In need of parking

    Sometimes I get somewhere and then I have to look for a parking lot or a parking space and I lose a lot of time. I think it might be a good idea to suggest the parking lots that are close by before arriving or even at the beginning of the ride ask if finding a parking space will be necessary (if rates could be added, that would be great as well)

  3. say im at a red light

    My idea is for the waze app. I was using my waze and while I was driving and I stopped at a stop light. Waze asked me if I was stuck in traffic cause it noticed that I'm not moving and it doesn't let me say ithat im stuck at a red light.
    Thank you for your time.

  5. Be able to add friends, send messages and report (accidents, police, etc.) from the computer version

    My husband is a truck driver. The weather is bad and we are both on Waze. I can't follow him unless I'm on my lap top. I can see other Waze users around him. Somebody sent a message to him asking how the roads were if they were clear, etc. He obviously cannot type or send a message. It would be GREAT if I could click to add the user that asked him a question or just send a message to her answering her question. AND he just witness a wreck. Road conditions are bad so I want to click…

  6. To have a approximated distance for traffic

    i was just thinking it would be nice to either have an audible voice or something pop up with an approximate distance when your in traffic. Cause I know when I come up on it the 1st thing I'm doing is thumbing up the screen to see how far.

  8. Report thanking details

    When thanked for a report, it doesn't specify which report was thanked. Can we get more details of the report that was thanked in the inbox?

  9. lock screen orientation

    My screen is constantly flipping and tumbling while I'm on the move, making the visual map virtually useless. A simple option to lock orientation in the app would solve this.

  11. Change how road numbers are spoken in the UK

    Speaking the A5183, for example, as "A fifty-one eighty-three" is confusing, since everybody I know calls it the "A five one eight three". The rules are a bit complicated, it's true, as we do use this pattern for two digit road numbers, three digit ending in 0, and roads ending in 00 or 000. But in all other cases we just speak the individual digits.
    So
    "A five"; "A ten"; "A sixty-six"; "A two hundred"; "A one thousand"; "A six fifty"; but "A six four seven"; "M six oh six" ; "A six oh three seven".

  12. Drop a pin for reporting wrong location

    Sometimes the app directions are a bit off. When I arrive at a place and Waze thinks I haven't arrived to the location yet, it would be nice to be able to drop a pin and report the location. Right now it is a bit cumbersome to report so much of the time I just don't report the error at all.

  13. Incorporate Buses

    Be able to report a public bus sighting by typing in the bus number on the back so people who take the bus can see approximately where it is at and how close it is to the stop you are at.

  14. Flag when route contains tolls

    Yesterday I was going from Kfar Saba to Tel Aviv in the morning and the route ended costing me over a 150 NIS.

    I often use Waze and trust it so I put in the address and followed the route. At some point I realized that it was taking me to Road 6 (which I didn't want to take because I am with a rental car at the moment and they charge extra) it was too late to turn back at that point so I proceeded. Only to discover that the route was now taking me to the fast lane…

  15. It would be cool if you could partner with gas buddy.

    No offense to your app (or those that contribute prices) but when it comes to gas prices I've found that gas buddy is a little more reliable when it comes to current prices. And I think it would benefit both you and gas buddy if you combine your data.

  16. Mojio OBD cellular GPS

    There is a new device called Mojio www.moj.io on the market. It's an obd reader with a GPS and a cellular module. They have an SKD and API and I think it could be cool to include this in waze. Few things it could do with waze.

    For trip that you forget to open waze it could automaticly use the mojio gps and this way get trafic information for others.

    You could always know where your car is parked in waze.

    Waze could notify you after a trip if you forget to lock doors.

    Waze could give you info about…

  17. Report "Good" road conditions

    When I report "bad" road conditions, it helps drivers around me avoid an area. Sometimes, when I reach an area that is reported as "bad" it turns out to actually be less congested or jammed up than reported earlier.

    It would be very beneficial to everyone using the app if we could report when a road has good conditions. This would meet the goal of providing real time map updates that benefit everyone looking to see what route is best for them based on the conditions.

  18. Ability to say 'dont send me this way again' for dangerous turns or bad neighborhoods.

    I live in a big city with a long commute and many options to to my destinations. Sometimes the way Waze sends me around traffic is dangerous (i.e. Turning left onto a 5 lane, busy highway just to immediately turn right, or through high crime areas). An option to indicate unsafe guidance and not to suggest it again would be great.

  19. Sharing Routes With Friends

    The sharing tool from Whatsapp is not so accurate, so it would be very nice to have something to like that but functional. The main idea is an option that you could save the actual route that you're running and export this to your friends, it would be very useful for trips to countryside and rural areas.And in urban areas sometimes you may not want the shorter or the faster way but the safer way. - general

  20. When a vehicle is broken down in the middle of the road, we aren't able to report it or say which lane is blocked.

    When we come up to a vehicle that is disabled in the middle of a road, we can only report it as being on the shoulder. We need to be able to report it as blocking the road and report which lane is blocked/closed.
