Notify conditions between home and work
Send a notification of a significant event that has occurred between home and work whilst the app is not in use. This feature is enabled only when either at work or home and is configured to only scan for issues between home and work when at home, vice versa.
For instance, if I am at work and a major accident has happened on my usual route, I want to know about it before I set off so I have options other than just finding an alternative route. The notification could state something along the lines of "[incident type] reported on…

Change Minor/Major Accident to Minor/Major .
There often can be Incidents that affect traffic that are not "accidents", but all "accidents" are incidents.

Invites the user to reports UR to correct the problem himself
When the editor reports an error on the map as UR , the system could send an e- mail indicating the WME and the forum so that it even correct the problem on the map. The idea is to get new editors.

Warning message "Alert sent successfully"
A user made the error alert 4 times and claimed that the app did not give you the return that the alert had been created.
This is a suggestion for improving the app. Should help avoid duplicate UR (or quadruplicate lol).6 votes -
Location Photos
Why, when I take a picture of the location I'm at (as Waze suggests I do to help other users identify this location) does that photo NOT save itself? Everyday I'm asked to RE-take the photo of my home and work. The feature isn't working on my Galaxy S5 and I'd love to see it stop asking me to take a photo everyday when I've already done it a number of times!

Convenience key
I would like to have the possibility to create convenience keys under the warning section. A convenience key would make it possible to choose "warning 1" instead of typing the warning text on the run. This would be good if you want to put in a warning while passing it at speed.
There are situations where you don't want slow down.

Stop doing things. You're the best maps app already just stop and I'll keep you.
I don't want rewards or "longcuts" or promotions. I will delete you if this shows up too much.

Driving to catch a flight
Imagine you are off on holiday. Perhaps hiring a car to drive to your destination after catching a flight. You could put your ultimate destination in to Waze and the airport / flight you are going to take.
Waze could keep you up to date on your departure while you're driving to the airport. (and advise on a departure time from your origin). It can update your friends of your progress.
It could keep your ETA up to date with your friends by cross-referencing the flight information and expected arrival time. (It could probably show your approx location based on…

Build an Microsoft Band App for Reporting
It is sitting on an increasing number of users wrists. Would be a fast and effect way to collect data (reaching for my phone while in the car is not always possible and a missed opportunity to report sometimes). Device is cross platform so would be applicable to iOS, Android, and WM users. I would love just being able to report but could use notification as well or Cortana integration as I am a WM user. Simple few icons and a connection into the existing phone app is probably all it would take.

Recover connection after loss of signal
When I'm on the road and the cellphone loses signal, Waze goes off line and tries to reconnect. But when my cellphone gets signal again, Waze doesn't reconnect unless I close it and restart it or sometimes I even have to restart the phone! Then it gets network connection again, but I lose all the way I have traveled.
There should be an update that fixes this issue. Thank you!14 votes -

Translation of place types to brazilian portuguese
It bothers me very much the fact that "GYM / FITNESS" was translated as "GINÁSIO / ACADEMIA" in brazilian portuguese language of the Waze application. It is absurdly wrong translated. It is like one had translated "GINÁSIO / ACADEMIA" as "SPORT ARENA / GYM".
Waze's resources (including Wiki) translation to brazilian portuguese, in general, is very poor.

Urgent hint to improve waze fast and easy and get many new users!
How? Speed camera alert (warning) is one of the best and attractive reasons to use waze especially for new users, that have already integrated or portable navigation systems. Mobile (!) Speed traps (cameras, but also radar guns etc.) are the traps, users have the most fear of. But most existing users of waze, who wants to report a mobile (!) speed trap mix up the confusing camera icon with the police (officer) icon, especially in the german version, where the camera icon is named "Blitzer" (means: "flash"). They report mobile speed traps (in german also named as blitzer; there is…

How about adding an icon that allows us to mark known speed traps in our area even if we are not driving by at a particular moment? It could
How about adding an icon that allows us to mark known speed traps in our area even if we are not driving by at a particular moment? It could be a picture of a radar gun. Also, don't allow a single user to remove a police icon. It's too easy for the police to click "not there" themselves on a dummy account and it disappears.

Crossing major intersections
Los Angeles - When crossing major streets such as Sunset Blvd, Wilshire Blvd or La Cienega Blvd, please guide us to an intersection protected by a traffic signal. While the smaller streets are great for avoiding traffic, once we reach a major thoroughfare, we simply can't get across without a green light! Thanks, Waze!
