food-truck locations
Living in a big city with lots of major events, it would be great to be able to see what food-trucks are available at events or where your favorite food-truck is located (this would required some sort of GPS tracking option for the food-truck when it is operational).

A fatigue reminder would be good. Something as simple as "You've been driving for x, it's time for a break."

I'd love to see some sort of food truck status implemented. A new class of vehicle on the map perhaps? Any temporary service could be implemented the same way road hazards are I guess (they can be an obstruction). However, I'd really like to see food trucks that are currently serving, or pop up festivals as potential destinations. Nearby parking should probably be the actual destination through.

I agree that truckers need all the help they can get; however, Waze is not an app for truckers, so nothing specifically for truckers can be done. Truck drivers use truck-specific satellite navigation systems.

Dear Waze,
As someone who lives 5hours drive from family and old friends - travelling in a car happens regularly.
I now have the added person of a 2 year to travel with...and quite simply it can be hellish.
I started to think if there was an app where there was recommended family friendly stop offs - but then talking to a friend app developer, it seems it may not be a good enough app idea and he said instead to contact an navigation app to share my idea to see about an offshoot of an already existing successful app.
My idea - get families that are already a part of your app to pinpoint family friendly activities that are just off main routes - could be a garden centre that has animals and a cafe, or a zoo, or a farm park, or a play park with swings etc.
For myself, we do around 3 stop offs and we don’t rush it - so if I knew that along my route there was a garden centre just off m25 that we could run around for a bit and have some food - that would be amazing! Wayyyy better than a services where I have to watch his every move and he can’t fully run around.
Basically - a way of helping family’s to break up their journey in one place instead of having to do their own research.
Not sure if this would be up your street but thought it was worth a go.
Thanks,

After driving 2 hours it would be nice to get a fatigue warning and a suggestion of where to stop along the route

It's hard to find a good coffee, most places are rubbish.
As a Bus driver, I drive past Coffee Vans on the side of the road all the time. I usually think "damn I wish I knew that was there", followed by "I'll stop there next time around" and of course next time around it's not there anymore.
So obviously my suggestion is specific to marking on the map the location of a Mobile Coffee Van. Perhaps the marker can stay valid for 30 minutes? Maybe the driver grabs a coffee, asks "How long are you guys gonna be here for?", maybe the answer is "'bout an hour" and the driver can mark them on the map as possibly being there for the next hour.
Better than this though would be the Coffee Vans themselves marking their location and time they will stay.
I did see another suggestion specifically for Starbucks type locations, but I think being able to mark Mobile Coffee Van locations will be fantastic.

Okay, so it's 10:00am and I want to eat around 11:30 . . . So I want Waze to tell me what food is available at my expected location along my route at that time.

We should have a feature where there are different categories such as restaurants, stores, and coffee shops nearby or along your route.

This would be a great addition

Holistic trip management app for interactive user support while driving long distances. Questionnaire runs through food, gas, hotel choices. App then tells you next Shell station is 60 miles away, next Chik-fil-a is twenty miles away, etc. Or fuel tank was full when you started driving 4 hours ago at 21 miles per gallon at 80 miles per hour, so next Shell station is Exit 131, then left off ramp.Use already collected data from GPS and mapping software to support the driver over the whole trip. Then ask, "Are you returning using the same route?"

As a Food-truck owner, we use Waze all the time. We really hope that we can register & login on certain Waze account so other Waze users who are looking for their favorite foodtrucks can see when their favorite foodtrucks are open/close & where they're parking at based on the time foodtruck owners login & log off. Thanks!

Add a button to show food stops along the route with the option of selecting food type.

I am running a small company called the Food Truck Services, Food Truck is new here in my town, we have about 60+ food truckers, however locating this truck is hard and would want to see if we could create a map just for food truck in my town (alone) . This will give people a quick lunch break or a take away after a late nite work as they had home. Can waze help me on this challenge ?

There are times I would like to basically stay on my route but stop at the nearest post office along the way. That option would be great.

When I travel for a long time, i wonder where I will be at 12:00 (time to eat). If I know that, I can search for a good restaurant around.
When I reach a big traffic jam, I wonder when I get through it.
In both cases, I think Waze could bring me the answer. -

Have another menu (similar to the "!") where you can select an interim destination along your route by category (for gas, food, stores, etc.) that would then pop-up the closest businesses in that category. There would be an advertising opportunity to allow the business to display their brand icon or maybe even in bold type. Selecting a busines would route you to the business and then route you back to your original journey.

Currently there is no way to browse points of intrests near the user. You can only search for a specified location but bieng able to browse all resturants or shops in the area would be nice. one could brows by zipcode, state, or current location. Categories like food (fast food, Sushi, etc), Hospitals, gyms, shopping centers, etc would be a great upgrade.
