Seems like there are lots of these that get one or two votes and die the way of the dodo just like I will assume this suggestion will do. Although the idea behind Waze is social-traffic guidance it doesn't do the commuter a lot of good when they are in route on a multi-lane interstate in the middle of rush hour(s).

We all give permission for Google/Waze/everyone to know our location so use that information to know that we are on the route and recalculate the traffic speeds based on our movement and feedback on our phones.

Give us the option to recalculate the route. Give us a birds-eye view button of the route or multiple route options before we start the trips like the big brother Google maps so we can make a better decision before driving out onto the dangerous interstate. Give us a couple of one-handed buttons we can hit with our thumb or index finger to say there is a backup of traffic ahead that is not being calculated. Use the GPS data on our phones and use the awesome data calculation power of the processors to know exactly how fast and far we have traveled so that your data models can be updated quickly and efficiently.

This morning Waze gave a route of 55 miles to work where I normally travel about 27 and said I would be at work within my 90-minute window. Let's just say I was still late.
