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 -

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.

Pausing Waze when there's an incoming call.
When someone calls, Waze keeps saying the navigation instructions, and therefore making it impossible to hear the person you're talking to!
It should be possible to automatically pause it everytime the phone gets calls.2 votes -
Pls create waze map for Philippines
Philippines is not included yet in your list of countries. This would really be very helpful to commuters navigating thru traffic in this country.

Waze needs to understand letter streets in cities (e.g. N St. is not North St.)
In cities all over, letter streets are common. Waze consistently voices N St. as North St., S St. as South St., etc. I guarantee you, in 99% (at least) of cities, N followed by St. will always be N St. not North St.

Allow push notifications for hazards or police. I tend to lock my phone by habit and I don't find out about them until it's too late.

Locking against editing sucks
The locking against editing of streets is very annoying. On my way to work (about 30km) i found more than 10 errors, and very often I'm not allowed to correct them. It is too complicated to set an unlock request before being allowed to edit. So how can your maps improve if the normal user is not able to correct map errors?

I would love to see the ability to plot a holiday lights display on the map.
I'd like o be able to plot the great holiday lights displays in my area so I can tell other Wazers about them. Additionally one could have Waze plot a lights tour path to follow.
