Dash cam
Add dash cam features in background, auto record when car is moving, just enable feature and everything runs in background. Similar to app called witness. Record 10 segments, 6min each. Store date,time and GPS. Thought of this after learning that every car in Russia has a dash cam (all those meteor recordings).

Great thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Would definitely like and use this function.
And as commented by someone else, please ensure the option to record to SD card is provided. -

As an iPhone user, I am not able to have the camera recording in the background. The initial implementation of the feature could be as simple as a "record my journey" button. Simple options, such as, how much disk space to use, video quality etc.

Greetings
I would like to suggest a new function which makes it possible to turn your cell phone into a camera through using WAZE
That is to add the camera button in the application screen and when pressed, it activates the back camera of the smartphone and records the way. -

This would be really nice because it would allow someone to be able to show the speed of travel in court. Especially if someone gets a ticket or gets into a bad accident.

If this feature is done, please allow to specify where the data will be recorded. Internal memories of phones will be killed by the constant rewriting (flash memories can only handle a limited number of rewrite cycles). Using an external high-endurance microSD card will allow to spare the phone internal memories by using a dedicated and purposely manufacturer microSD card.

1. 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?
2. 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?
3. 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.
Kind Regards
Dawid Patalong from Poland.

There are no camera apps avalible for iPhone that record whilst the app is minimised (I presume for security purposes). It would be very useful if you added a video recording function so that the Waze app would double as a dashcam as well as a sat nav.

I would like that waze allowed to record in video the realized trips, the idea is to use the back camera of the cellular that normally is looking towards the street,
And if you record in video something important in the way you can upload to YouTube as a "waze-Tube" channel. -

Estaría bien implementar en su aplicación una opción para activar la grabación de vídeo durante el viaje para grabar posibles incidentes durante el mismo.

Have the ability to download WAZE on the car system touch screen. Eliminating the need to have the smart phone mounted on the dash.

I would also like to see waze be able to save a drive during the drive or at the end. By this I mean saving each GPS position update along the drive. Then it should provide the ability to see the complete drive and show the speed at any point along the drive. This would make it possible to defend from tickets that are inappropriately issued where the police's "word" is all the evidence it takes.

Would be great if Waze can be used as a daschboard cam. When navigagatorn is running, select the cam function and the recording a couple of hours in motion. The recording loops.

Also add shock sense that could trigger a call out to an emergence list in the event of crash

Please add a dashcam-function into waze for proof fight ticket, insurance fraud because traffic got much dangerous and there are more and more idiots.
Greetings!

A great improvement would be for Waze to use the phone's camera as car cam recorder during driving.
I am using DailyRoads Voyager aplication at the moment, would be great to have this integrated in Waze :D
