  3. I use the iPhone but my idea is for all. The report button in the bottom right corner should be changed to a "Mark position button". Safety!

    I use the iPhone but my idea is for all. The report button in the bottom right corner should be changed to a "Mark position button". This will let you mark the position at the moment needed and then identify the hazard or type of report when it is safe to do so after the fact. I always feel like I'm rushed and distracted trying to get the position marked and identified in time.

  4. Self accident(by impact) detection and reporting automaticaly

    Some(maybe many) lives could be saved if Waze could detect accident situation with its user.

    It would listen to phone's accelerometer and after huge amplitude of indices form phone accelerometer and rapid, complete stop/non acceleration for about minute, it could ask user/driver for response.

    If driver is not responding on phones flashing/signaling/dialog on screen, then big chance that driver is in trouble and Waze could send signal of SOS to closest users and even to local administrators to check out situation. Maybe this feature could be used by local 911/112 as well. If not for immediate rescue then for locating…

  5. Level of guidance option

    I would like a new low setting for "level of guidance" under sound settings. I wish I could set it to a two stage tone notifications. Such as one ding x amount of feet before the turn and then a double ding immediately before the turn.

    I find that the verbal instructions can be more than necessary in more familiar areas.

  6. Add ferry as a driveable road type

    Ferry is currently not an option for road type. Ferries are unique in that that may require you to stop, wait for the ferry and then board. For this reason a ferry should be differentiated from a regular street.

  7. 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.

  10. Waze distress signal

    As a Wazer, wouldn't be great to be able to send out a distress signal. Tyre change, out of gas, need engine help, etc. Perhaps also car make specific help, in that case a personal setting including car make could be needed.

    If another user helps you out he or she would gain some 100 p. To avoid misuse the extra points only should apply when you help a non friend Wazer.

    Or turn the other way around and let users state what type of help he or she could provide. No need to get flagged for help if you…

  12. Avoid stop signs! Sometimes is faster the paraller road, because it has a few stops signs!!

    I know that waze finds the fastest route, but sometime that street has a lot of Stop signs, and the parallel street doesnt have any, so is faster!! Maybe for a future you could add the stop signs to the maps!! For you to take note: In Costa Rica there isn't 4 stop ways or 3 stop way, in an intersection, here there is always a road who has the way, and the other has the stop sign. Srry for my english, isnt my native language!!

  13. Road hazards

    Have the option to dismiss users postings. Say if a disabled car is no longer there. Or if a cop isnt there or theres no longer traffic issues jams ect. Add a buttong to be able to dismiss any and all. I know it pops up for disabled cars once in a while. But make it for all things posted. Cause i notice some people post things just to get points that are not even there.

  15. Less than 20% battery dialogue box options

    On Android less than 20% battery dialogue box says "Would you like to keep waze on?" With Yes and No buttons. However, when driving it's hard to read the question and often I end up turning off Waze cause I tapped "No". Since it's hard to read the question when driving, if dialogue buttons should said "keep on" or "turn off" instead of y/n, the decision is a lot faster.

  16. Improve finding of places/business to drive to

    Currently, when searching for a business or place to drive to, it often does not find the business. Or, it shows a list of businesses with the same name but no address or city. For example, if I search for "Kaiser" it shows a bunch of Kaiser Hospital names with no address or city. And it doesn't at all show the one that is closest to me. So, I don't know which one is closer. I end up often having to use google maps and navigation to find places and get routed there. Need to allow us an easy way…

  18. Add "Any date after today" for age of new aerial data requests (Request updated imagery)

    BLUF Recommend adding an option for “Any date after today” Especially for new construction.

    Thank you for adding the Request updated imagery straight from WME to the WME Beta site. It allows one to request imagery that is 1 year, 6 months, 1 month. To improve the process it would be great to add "Any date after today". For construction the new configuration may have occurred within the last month or significant changes were made within the last month (lane guidance painting, etc.

  19. Potholes are problems on the roads. But long stretches of pothole-ridden sections are also an issue.

    Potholes are problems on the roads. But there is something even more annoying, which is larger sections of the road that are completely holed or damaged. The suggestion is to create a new type of alert that is more lasting. Something saying "Damaged section ahead." Perhaps many countries do not suffer from this, but here in Brazil, whether in small towns or capitals, this is extremely common.

  20. Display map on phone while connected to Android Auto (AA)

    Since a few days ago, Waze no longer shows the map navigation on the phone screen but only the turn-by-turn navigation.

    The problem with this is, my car's built-in AA could never run Waze. The car location would always get stuck at one location.

    My workaround has been to run Waze on the phone and Google Maps on the car's AA screen. This worked like a charm until last week. Right now, every time I use Waze I have to disable AA and connect my phone audio using bluetooth to the car's head unit. It's a really decluttered setup and…
