Masters,

I would like to suggest an improvement that I believe would be very useful for Waze, especially for users traveling on highways in areas with unstable internet coverage.

It is common to lose connection precisely when encountering an accident, a pothole, a stopped vehicle, or a speed camera. In these situations, the user tries to submit a report, but it is not sent due to the lack of internet access. By the time the signal returns, the driver may have already traveled several kilometers, and the alert is never submitted.

My suggestion is for the app to store these reports locally on the device whenever there is no internet connection. The record could include essential information such as the GPS location, the type of alert, and the date and time it was created. As soon as the device regains internet access, Waze would automatically send this data to the server and the Map Editor, without requiring any additional action from the user.

I work in mobile application development and use this exact strategy in commercial applications. Our sales representatives frequently work in areas without internet coverage. During this period, location information is stored in a local database. Once the device reconnects, the data is automatically synchronized with the server. It is a simple, reliable, and widely used solution for applications that need to work offline.

I believe this same concept could provide significant benefits to Waze by increasing the number of valid reports submitted by users and improving the quality of the information available to the entire community, especially on highways and in remote areas.
