  1. Bobcat Goldthwait

    I think it's self explanatory. Since the inception of consumer grade GPS, I have held that Bobcat Goldthwait would be the best navigation voice. You have the power....but do you have the cojones?

  2. Give us a target speed in traffic jams to help Waze users optimize average throughput

    I recently read this article: http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20160428-how-ai-will-solve-traffic-part-one

    It talks about how going slower and keeping more space between your car and other cars can actually improve the flow of traffic when it's all jammed up. It also explains how autonomous cars will make this work much better, but also indicates that we can help improve things now by changing our driving behavior.

    The article also explains how the highway patrol sometimes sends cars through traffic jams on the highway to break it up and re-channelize it.

    If the Waze app could give users a target speed based on traffic conditions, and…

  3. A Printable Manual

    I think Waze needs a concise, indexed, printable manual that covers all topics and that's undated frequently. Even after looking at the FAQs, I'm still trying to figure out what a "wave" is an how to implement it.

  4. Risk classification system by areas

    Risk classification system by areas:

    Some countries like mine (Peru) have several areas which are either dangerous or ugly to go through. Since Waze algorithm is set to always find the best route regarding the traffic and shortest ways to minimze the time, sometimes it includes these kind of undesireble zones and and it can be really annoying or even scary.

    Therefore, I suggest to implement a security location system based on the split and categorization of how safe or risky is each area.

    At first, it's going to be necessary to make an initial investigation about the safety of…

  5. Make Traffic Slowdowns More Visible when using Directions

    Invert the color scheme when using directions so the purple stripe is not overshadowing traffic red/yellow/orange. Example: https://twitter.com/steviecoolest/status/723576075452841985

  6. Make a difference between a solo police speed radar control and traject control.

    When you enter a traject speed control zone, it would be great to have a time bar in the display, just the way it is shown during traffic jam. Off course for traject speed contole zone, it should be in a other color

  7. Proximity routing for Home/Work

    Many people use waze on a daily basis as a way to avoid traffic. We know how to get home or to work, and sometimes our work places have multiple entrances. These entrances don't always trigger waze that you have arrived, so even once I'm in the building, suddenly I hear waze trying to route me through the office hallways from my pocket.....

    A new feature called "proximity routing" that the user can enable for their "home/work" locations would take care of this problem. Once the driver gets close, waze would indicate you have arrived and go into sleep mode.…

  8. Set up "Next time I'm passing this location" reminders

    I propose an option to remind me of a task I need to do when I am close to a particular location... I set a reminder to pop up and/or a spoken notification when I am within a selected distance to a selected location... eg: Remind me to pick up new windscreen wiper blades when I'm in the vicinity of the auto spares shop....or...Remind me to drop into Tom's and pay him for my tickets.... This could be linked to my calendar though a sperate in app option may be better because calendars are for specific times and dates and…

  9. Interface - needs to revert to 3.x

    The new interface looks childish and is unusable in landscape mode. The next instruction box at the top is too big. The notifications are horribly big, and the ones that show when you stop at a traffic light are worse, with the black background.
    The map looks drawn by a 4 years old in crayon, seems to lack a lot of the information it had on v3.x., the map lines are too wide.
    Having functions that only show when you tap the screen is very bad in usability terms.
    To top all that, the interface is so heavy that it…

  10. The 'Parked here' function should be manual not auto.

    The 'Parked Here' thing could have been cool but is useless as is. Nobody knows how it works. It should be a manual selection just like a road report so you can manual set where you parked. Not dependent on some conditions related to not moving or something. Fix that please.

  11. After the last update waze has become worse

    Dear developers.
    (If you are still reading this)
    No offense, but, after each update,
    waze, it is getting worse and worse.
    a feeling that you want to screw up this application,
    that all was abandoned.
    I confess, and I have such a thought slips, carry waze and go on something else. the good thing laid a lot.
    Lord, developers do not need to invent or anything, just carefully read the user reviews.
    After the last update waze began to fail even more. It lost a lot of functions, such as viewing events. the interface is not convenient! stael more children,…

  12. Improve display for alternate routs

    When alternate routs are displayed, the route description is displayed in small, grey, hard to read font. A larger and darker font would help.
    This option of alternate routs is useful during drive to conclude if a suggested "exotic" route really save significant time.

  13. Add the ability to use emoji in the app and Waze Map Editor

    The ability to type emoji into chat and reports in the app would be a nice addition. Adding this ability to Waze Map Editor would also be nice as it would allow typing emoji into Update Request comments and the chat window.

    On Live Maps show the locations of reported pot holes. This way any local town can reference what is reported and fix the holes quickly.

  15. icons on map view

    When I am looking at my three route options, the List view shows my small icons representing events on my suggested paths. But, when I switch to Map view - when I want to SEE what's going on where - those same icons are nowhere to be found.

    Having the event icons on the map view (when choosing a route) would help me make a more informed decision on which route to choose because I can see for certain how traffic, accidents, etc. will impact each route and which makes more sense (based upon prior experience on those roads).

    Thanks!…

    The prompts for the voice command should not only be audio, but visual as well, with specific prompts, and readable from a distance.

  17. Enable option for Photos taken of places to be uploaded later when WIFI network is possible...

    Enable option for Photos taken of places to be uploaded later when Wifi is possible for users, since in this way we are saving mobile internet quota or having bad internet network true mobile network.
    I had taken several photos of places but could not upload it at the time since mobile network was not so good, or I spent all my internet quota for that month.

  18. Add "time to park" in calendar synch.

    I have several meetings to drive to every day. Some take 15-20 minutes to park and get to the meetings. I would love a field to add that parking time, to better calculate the "time to go" function. I could use a fake time in my calendar, but with multiple meetings in a day one others relying on my calendar, that doesn't work well.

  20. 'Wazers Around Me' and 'Reports'

    I like the idea of getting 'Wazers Around Me' and 'Reports' on 'start-up' of the app. However, it seems its the ONLY time this information is available. Is there a quick way of getting this info AFTER the app has been activated and in use?
