Ability to select different text scale.
The map screen seems designed for lower resolution phones. When used on Galaxy S4 the text is too small to read. Suggest adding a scale option.

Is there a Family Locator function?

Please add sandstorm to weather report
Recently we have had several sandstorms that affected the drive greatly limiting visibility. I would like to be able to warn drivers or learn of sandstorms on my route.

Adjust optimization for navigation by setting threshold for saving time
Currently, we can choose the navigation type of "Fastest". In my experience, this means that Waze sometimes sends you on an alternate route for a very small time savings.
I'd like to be able to set a threshold for deviating from a route. For instance, each additional 1000 feet of travel must save 2 or more minutes. Or using a smaller street must gain at least 5 minutes.
This could be presented to the user as a slider between fastest and shortest, or an advanced mode that allows one to tweak each parameter.

New platform: Firefox OS
Firefox OS (formerly boot-to-Gecko) is a soon-to-be-released platform for low-end smartphones for emerging markets. It combines a stripped-down Android base (called Gonk) with Gecko (the Firefox render engine) and Gaia, a client layer written entirely in HTML5. The Mozilla Foundation is making some apps available for the commercial release, including HERE Maps, created by Nokia, but HERE is not a very good mapping solution, it lacks turn-by-turn navigation and the interface is overall a mess. Waze could really benefit from being the first turn-by-turn navigation solution to come to a platform and, in its turn, Firefox OS really needs…

Allow showing route without starting voice navigation directions
Their time to when you want to see the route and know how long it's going to take without actually starting voice command navigation. I would suggest adding another button in the route dialog box next to the go button or the routes button that just says "Route Only", or have a checkbox there that turns off voice navigation (so when you tap Go it just shows the route and time to destination).

A more credible alert...
The following factors would give a "certainty" rating to each report:
* Number of wazers ahead of me (within .5-2 miles)
* Number of minutes since the alert was posted
* Number of "thanks" attached to report
* Whatever logic Waze uses to determine more credible users...14 votes -
Identify passing official passing lanes on two way roads
Knowing when the next good passing opportunity is would help reduce driver frustration (maybe). Official passing lanes only though - not areas where anyone thinks you can pass.

It would be great to put toll booths and customs check points on the maps. I have to put 'heavy traffic' every time I go through one. Thanks
Post toll booths and customs check points so I don't have to put 'heavy traffic' every time I go through one.

Waze's own chat
I was picking up my little brother yesterday and in the meanwhile i noticed that if i didnt have to switch between whatsapp and waze in order to chat with people not interested in waze, it would be even cooler!
I mean. I may log in so i could contact "a friend" that i know is connected to waze for example, just to chat. The facebook friends list is awful, because .. what? 30% of your list uses waze? and when they wanna chat with you, they dont think of the waze-3.5-facebook chat a a good system, so i have…

Weather Icons instead of Hazard Icons on Map
Weather reports show up as Hazard icons. While it does say what the weather condition is below, it is not easy to read if you are driving in bad weather. It would be nice to see weather icons reported by other Waze users.

Offer a "Known Enforcement Point" report
Offer a "Known Enforcement Point" report the way trapster does it. Report an area where police tend to hide and take radar.

ETA Only, Time Remaining Only or Both.
In the Settings there should be a feature to have the Main Screen show ''ETA Only'', ''Time Remaining Only'' or Both.
As it is now, the display switches between the two and the user has to keep looking at the screen to get the results they need.
This is NOT SAFE!
As noted on the Android Market, a lot of users want it to display just one or the other, not the schizoid way it is now.

Disable/option iPhone touch-rotating map
When navigating with my iPhone I usually want to zoom in and out using the pinch movement as most apps use, but half the time trigger the touch to rotate map feature, which I never really need to use.
My suggestion: Disable this (the map will still rotate when you are heading in a certain direction, which is all anyone should need it to do) or at least have an option to turn it off.

Put “animals” back on the options to report
Please please please put the option to report animals on the side of the road again. This was EXTREMELY helpful and important to ensure the safety of the animals and other drivers. This honestly breaks my heart because I love animals and want to keep the as safe as possible!

Return the ability to Mark Animals I’m the hazard icon on Waze
You took away the ability to mark animals under the hazard icon on your map. I would always mark dear when I come to work early in the morning when it’s still dark out, I would mark them so people would not hit them with the car and maybe get injured themselves or kill the deer please return this that you had on a hazard icon. Otherwise I’m leaving Waze because I don’t agree with this policy.
