show street name currently on
It would be great to show the name of the street you're currently on, as well as that of the next turn. Also, show the name of the street you're on when not in navigation mode.

I would like to see a feature similar to Garmin and other gps units that displays the current road I you ar driving on. This would be for when you are not using navigation directions but rather just driving around on day to day activity's. This could also replace the wording at the bottom of the screen that says something like good morning, which is where it could display the current street that you are on. This would helpful when I am out just driving around and want to know what street I am on with out looking for a street sign or fumbling around in the app to touch on the arrow icon showing where I am at for this information. I could also seeing this help out with law enforcement, taxi drivers, and other such people who need to know where they are at or coming up to at all times.

Especially when driving in unknown areas, but also known areas: It would be helpful if you can tap a button and it tells you where you are, for example:
* 5 km from town A,
*12 km from town B
* near 32 Street Name, between Street A and Street C
* 23 km from next exit to Town C,
* 2 km south of previous exit to town A.This can also be used to report accidents and problems to the authorities.

When using Waze purely as a map and not with a planned route, rather than the bottom bar saying "Good Morning", it could have the road name that you're on instead. I have the app running for most of the day, without a planned route and sometimes it would be useful to know what road I'm on in a new area.

I really don't need to be told good morning, I'd rather know what street I'm currently on. Some streets aren't well labeled.

Would be nice when just driving without being directed but still have the app open to report, that you can show the street heading at the bottom like you when in a directed route.

I want to see the road/street im currently driving on without navigating to a specific waypoint.
Instead of having "Good morning" in the bottom of my screen i want to se "Driving on XXXXX street" or similar without the need for entering a destination.
Im in law enforcement and i often need to know my current location without delay (in car chases for example).
At any moment i want to look at my display and see the street that im currently driving on!

Create a command to show, on the top of the map, the name of the city where I am now.

Unnamed street shall be named "Unnamed Street " rather leave it blank...

also the street name centered in view as waze resists labeling even spinning map around, scrolling, or zooming.
thankfully 3.5 fixes the Unlabeled turn by turn box of 3.2

I think a great idea would be to have the name of the city/town in which you are traveling appear at the bottom of the screen between the two touch buttons.
Nothing in too large a font in that it adds more screen clutter, because the screen is very tidy as is.
However, I think it would be nice to have the city/town name there especially for those of us addicted to "checking in" and would use it to check into each city upon entering.
Yay? Nay? :)

When you're navigating, you see the next turn displayed at the top of the screen. Other times, you just see the map going by. I like to know what street I'm on and what city I'm in. Also, as an editor, I'd like to be able to check the accuracy of the street name and city.
