expose intents
for all clients expose an API
for Android expose:
• intents
• broadcast intents
• application shortcuts
for the slightly savvier user this allows accelerated navigation by macro (Tasker, Llama, OmniDroid, et al)
API allows for similar macro- or automation apps on iOS (ipad, iPhone), windows mobile, other platforms surely
instead of
° load waze
° click or swipe to open navigate to UI
° search for address
° select match
° go
° pick route
the macro app could accomplish this in
ONE click
this is employing merely one of a panoply of time saving waze measures
add to wiki and label unsupported should that be waze druthers
exposing more granularity would
° empower users' judgment
° conditional logic
° offload server use
° displace more Google maps/nav "sheeple"
less savvy wazers (and waze) could benefit from the efforts of the more savvy
- apply restrictions not for commercial use to kill market predatory-developers, those who spew poor code to fashion self serving malware or apps which exist primarily to render ads
the more non-commercial participants the
° better crowd value
° preferred word of mouth
° google hemorrhaging
° seize market from social gps (displace glympse et al)
add dead reckoning stir pot gently
accept GPS coordinates as destination
mix in more expansive XMPP integration for those who value communication and privacy. Use XMPP Jingle as PTT (Push To Talk)
then waze is socially adept, privacy conscious **, open protocol embracing PLATFORM with potential for plug-in waze domain expansion

waze ought jump in both feet by implementing mpOTR
XMPP is financially wise, utterly displacing sms as many find mobile bills for smart appliances becoming unjustifiably costly (as texting over sms is often half the bill).
° retain wazers despite economic uncertainty
° niche domination
° pair with SIP SIMPLE (additional texting option), SIP presence, and SIP for conferencing while traveling [in tandem]
Jingle has video potential that would not tax waze cloud.

Whoa. This is the mind of an /intense/ genius.
I look forward to having the described power.

Oh, another fan of XmppTexting, and SIP. VoLTE might be an eye opener for many.
" accept routes by email, XMPP, SIP SIMPLE "

Oh man! For a second I thought this was a description of capabilities instead of a suggestion. I" on looking for ways to short cut things with tasker, and maybe to get Waze voice output and parse/enhance with JS in Tasker.

Wow there's a lot in here. I'm voting for the INTENTS.

° predict fuel consumption
° tally fuel consumed
° prefetch map tiles before entering known poor data speed area
° generate Aztec Code for destination, location, drive, or P.O.I.
° modify "signal deviation" on the fly
° build personal speed limit database
° export route to file
° sequentially feed waypoints to waze
° enhanced detours
° accept routes by email, XMPP, SIP SIMPLE, l
or inferior protocols° broadcast driving stats by same
° maintain PEP or PubSub location
° trigger call
°° route phone audio to BlueTooth but waze audio to speakerphone° selectively mute certain reports
° show only certain overlays (reduce clutter)

° navigate to proximate POI or select contacts en route
°° I've previously expressed disinterest in having waze mirror my contacts to provide this in app but as API or intent waze would be context agnostic. my external app would not provide appellation but mere location° event geo-tagging
° less resource consumption and higher accuracy than Llama
° externally control GPS battery consumption
° parental digital fences for offspring
° back-channel communication- and events for tandem waze travelling

this would allow collation of average time to location, typical traffic, ultimately
• predictions of ideal departure times
• prediction of suboptimal routes on given days- or times
• predicting speed traps
