Award points for stopping at or using advertisers.
Maybe 10 to 20 points for buying gas or eating a burger at an advertisers location. Could be tied to a code you have to enter for the points which you get when you use the location. Might be a big plus for advertisers ie feedback on advertising dollars spent.

Since Wade is already getting paid from advertisers, there should be more of an incentive program for wazers. For instance, if i report an incident that is confirmed by others a certain amount of times, then we should get some stars towards our rankings. When we confirm or deny a report, we get some as well. And when we reach a certain number, maybe we get a certain gift card or something similar to one of the companies that advertise on your GPS.

Add a feature to collect points along route by passing set points i.e. local businesses, etc. May take off route but will be up to driver to pass certain locations. Almost like a pacman type thing where you can collect coins. Give prizes for goals acheived, local businesses will pay for advertising.

I've always liked your app but after awhile unfortunately I get bored with it. My job is to drive and I used to use it weekly but now I rarely bother. Maybe if there is a traffic jam I'll look to see of someone posted something. Anyways,
My idea is just to have a weekly drawing for a gas card or multiple gas cards. It could be $50 or more. Just something. Perhaps the more points you've accrued that week will give you more entries into the drawing. If funding is in issue you could start showing ads and people could pay to opt out like most apps. I know this would make things more interesting. I certainly would be more competitive. As of right now the best I can do is see my name on a board of top users in the state. It just gets old. Thanks for your time...

mPoints is a supportive program that awards achievements with mPoints that are redeemable for many gift rewards cards. I am a wazer for about 2 years and appreciate all that had been accomplished. mPoints works with free application and each time someone uses the application or helps advertise it they receive a points. About 1000 mPoints = a dollar. This has helped with holiday gifts and charitable donations. I saved up enough to get a Samsung 3D blueray from Amazon. Here is a link:
