Three ideas for better Waze performance
I'm from Poland. In similar Polish app named Yanosik there is a feature named video recording. It is simple recorder that makes 1 minutes chunks of recordings what is going on the road. It's very useful to report some idiots on the road and great thing to show Police when accident happens who caused bad situations on the road. On this videos can be printed some info, for example time and my speed. Isn't it great feature?
In Yanosik you can report not only stationary Police patrols but mobile patrols with camera too (it's called trafipax in Poland). That usually is car looks like normal private car but with mobile radar and video recorder. Very common in Poland. Can you add this feature?
This is my idea. I've never seen this feature in any of GPS apps. Sometimes you forget charger. And when I'm using Waze without charger and screen on all the time it's a huge battery draining. 100 km trip can consume 50% of battery. But when I'm using the same Waze with screen off and using only voice clues it consumes about 3-4 % of battery!
So my idea is: most of times screen is not needed. Is needed on crucial moments. Alerts, police patrols, obstacles on road, crossroads and so on. I dream of this: screen is off when nothing happens. You travel straight, no turns ahead, no obstacles, no speed limits and so on. But when something serious I need to know screen turn on and showing situation. After alert screen is turning off and save battery.
Can you at least think of this features? Of course video recording will be used only with charger. But two next can be used without charger.
I hope You'll like this ideas.
