Offer a satellite view of the map.

I like how Google maps gives me the satellite view. Why doesn't Waze do that?

Thank you for this idea!
We will not be adding a satellite layer to the client. Waze is trying to provide the best driving experience which is smooth and simple and provide drivers with the right amount of information needed to get to places. While satellite layer is great to have for exploration and panning “offline”, we don’t think it’s going to benefit drivers on the go that much and therefore we’re not going to move in that direction in the foreseeable future.

    They will not do it because they are a bunch of geek cunts that don't give a fuck

    For those of us who doesn't have an iphone, etc; it would be GREAT if you offered a mobile GPS for to use in ones vehicle. Satellite GPS. To plug/connect into an outlet ... like a Garmin for instance. I love your APP, but I have no iphone . Please make a GPS device available to us who are without cellular service. Thanks so much...Sherry

    The map can be set with a different view? Satellite/ hybrid or normal

    I think we should be able to choose if we want to see the regular Waze map, a satellite map, or a tropographic map.

    Many users have different ideas. Not everybody needs them. Some we did not think about, they might be useful later. Why not to create something like app store, so we can add the feature we like and we will leave suggestions which will become reality. (People will have different customizations, 3D views, satellites maps, connected services). And stop waiting for new update, and be frustrated when your desired feature is till not there.

    Queria sugerir, desenvolver para o app do waze, a opção de visualizar o app com imagem de satélite, podendo assim, o usuário ver qual ele prefere usar. Seria uma maneira de diminuir o erro do usuário do usuário no escolher uma rua no lugar de uma avenida, como tem acontecido e aparecendo em jornais.

    Posted this in the forum. How about updating the wiki to allow the mapping of courts, cul-de-sacs with the road actually being outlined. If this is not a viable option. How about a satellite overlay option to see actual dead ends much like the web page live map has. In my opinion it is beneficial to the user when driving around or in a not so familiar area. Maps are used not just for turn by turn navigation, but sometimes for yard sales or finding other routed or to simply turn around.

    Most devices are mounted on a windscreen mount in the car, with a camera facing forward.

    Maybe add an Augmented Reality option (like 2D and 3D view), so you see the routing overlayed over camera data. I got this idea from another driving app: iOnRoad. My first thought was "It would be awesome if waze had this!!"

    Please make it happen!!
