  1. Traffic Signal Integration

    This is a huge undertaking but would be an awesome feature. Waze would have the ability to know when traffic signals are red and green based on Wazers. It can detect a Wazer ahead is stopped at an intersection, and can warn others behind that the signal is Red. This may also impact ETAs as well. In high volume cities like LA, this would be a feasible idea especially during rush hour. However, it may not be realistic at times of lower volume. This could save time, allow for smarter decisions, save gas, and be greener for the entire world!

    Create a WordPress widget/plug-in so people can visit our Website for real-time traffic info! A great way to enlarge the Waze footprint and make more people aware of the app!

  6. Beacon

    I am a cyclist and I would love to be able to put my phone in a beacon mode which will allow users of this app to be notified when I am close by. This concept could be used for runners, walkers, bikers, and any other activity that is near or on roadways.

  7. Create an event destination where all shares their destinations

    I would like to extend the already existing http://waze.to feature so that I can enter an address instead of a pure GUID. Maybe this would look like:
    http://waze.to/?ll=38.62464092991612,-90.1847612857818&EventID=GUID

    This would make it possible to auto generate links for my kids sports events and the sport clubs web-page. Like "We are having a game this weekend at arena X. Use this link to navigate: http://waze.to/?ll=38.62464092991612,-90.1847612857818&EventID=123456789"

    Everybody that push that link will automatically share their destinations, and there will be no information like "Adam shares this drive". If sport-clubs starts automate this method, the usages of Waze will be higher

  9. PERMANENTLY disable sounds including after updates

    Stop turning the damn sound/ voice back on with every f-ing update. We turn that crap off for a reason and I am getting tired of resetting the sounds to OFF with every f-ing update!

  10. Waze crashes on Lenovo K910

    I have a problem, Waze keeps crashing on my Lenovo K910. It starts then shuts down.
    My Waze version is 3.9.0.0 and my Android version is 4.4.2 with VIBEUIV2.014437.67.1ST_K910.
    Any idea what is wrong and how to fix it?

  11. Advanced config option: GPS inaccuracy tolerance

    So I'm currently using a rather cheap chinese android phone with an abyssimal GPS system. Even though it reports 5 meters of GPS accuracy, the exact position jumps all over the place, maybe in a 100m radius.
    This confuses the hell out of waze, and I get teleported all over the surrounding neighborhood while driving.
    Maybe it would be possible to add an advanced configuration option to fine-tune waze's location-estimation-algorithm?
    Something along the lines of "if the GPS position fluctuates by X meters in Y seconds, assume that the user is still on the recommended route, or at least hasn't…

  12. 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.

  13. 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)

  14. 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.

  16. 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…

  17. 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.

  20. 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.
