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.

Some other apps have a dash cam and maps but the maps are not as good as waze so if waze adds a camera it would be the perfect driving app

I am trying to run both Waze and DRV. I can start up DRV and it runs fine in the background until I open up Waze. Within a few seconds DRV stops recording telling me: Low memory, video stopped recording. Any suggestions? I am using a Motorola Droid Razor XT907.

It could be very useful but not for hours of recording. only the last 5/10 minutes could be enough.

I agree this would save us from buying separate black box, which would record last 15min of driving and by crash or by user pressing the button VIDEO SAVE, would save the last 15min of video to the phone....

Introduce the option of recording video, gps position, speed as a black box in case of accident every 30 seconds, 5 minutes or 10 minutes (re-writing video) with the option to keep the video in case of an event. This will help the insurance in case of accidents.

is it possible to add function with a small window in the WAZE app that is recording the time of driving...in case of crash etc...?Would be great ot have like 10 minutes of last driving recording in a sequance...there's a possibility on Android to use other apps in background but that don't work on iPhone..

IT could also be used as a tool to help the editors fix problems... by seeing what the problem is in video if the user sends it along with the map issue report. (user permission of course)

I too use Daily Roads Voyager in the background while running Waze. I'd like to see that functionality merged with Waze, and add the functionality of Drivea to detect / warn of lane changes and following too close as well.

On a wholy different matter to accidents recording, it would be extremely cool to start recording for something like a preset few minutes or dozen seconds, manually launched with a convenient button, so that you could record fuel price signs, then comfortably report them back home.
There could be a feature showing on the map where the recording took place, when you play it back, so you don't have to search for the place manually.
I'd report fuel prices much more often, if there was such a feature!

I second this suggestion. The dashcam feature will be very valuable to everyone, especially to those that live in former Soviet union countries and those that spend a lot of time on the road for work, such as taxi drivers and service providers that are exposed to more accidents.

Please consider adding a dash cam option. I use a LifeProof case and suction mount. The camera could work as a dash cam.
I would suggestion a 5 minute (or settable time length option). It could cycle through as a loop so the memory is not used up. An option of telling Waze to load up a clip then start a new loop would work well. Also, you could have this option start with motion and stop after a pre-assigned time after motion stops (so it does not stop at lights, drive-thru, etc.).

Great idea, I had it too. For now I use DAILYROADS along with waze (runs underground). It is available on google play (for free). Otherwise you must have a device with enough ram and processor capability to run both properly.
I think that should be a challenge put both navigation and recording as a resource for waze, because this may affect its general performance at most devices.
Anyway, its a nice suggestion! -

Dashcam functionnality would be nice, keeping automagically the last 30 minutes of video. The start and stop should be automatic.

I like this... or go steal then put/add iOnRoad's augmented functionality!
iOnRoad not only allow you to take a picture and record video (not as good as DRV) but it checks your distances of the car in front of you, and alerts you if you getting too close and if you are drifting to another lane. -

My vote is for integration with DRV. This application is working well and has responsive support too. No need to reinvent the wheel.
