Hello Waze,

I’ve been thinking about something that could be a nice addition to the app.

Waze is already very community-driven through map editing, traffic reports, road alerts, and more. I think it would be great to bring that community spirit into other parts of the app as well.

One idea iscommunity-created custom icons. Users could create, upload, and share their own icons, while others could rate and comment on them. This could lead to unique artwork, memes, seasonal designs, local themes, and other creative ideas.

Another idea could be community-created backgrounds that users could use to further customize their Waze experience.

The rewards we already earn from reporting traffic, police, hazards, and other events could potentially be converted into tokens. These tokens could then be used to unlock or “purchase” community-created icons, backgrounds, and other customization options. So far qhen we report, we only get points so we can unlock achievements which is kinda blank, this i feel could add more functionalities.

This could give the community another reason to contribute, while also making Waze more personal, fun, and creative.

I’m sure there could be many more ideas around this concept, but I think this would be a great place to start.

What do you think?
