Use the telephone acceletor to get data about road quality
Use the telephone acceletor to get data about the general quality of the road. I live near roads that your phone would be shaking constantly. The accelerometer can be useful to give an overall quality rating for each segment.
Then waze could have an option prefer to choose good roads when routing.

Increase the number of polygons on the map
In Live-map the map is well drawed & high level detailed. But when i see same region in Waze-client its not looks so fine, because at least half of polygons was optimized. Its makes Waze-client looks badly & not so attractive.

Add "Heavy Rain" and "Snow" as weather hazards. I have recently been driving through extremely heavy rain storms
Add "Heavy Rain" and "Snow" as weather hazards. I have recently been driving through extremely heavy rain storms and I would like to share that as a weather hazard. Snow and slush would be good additions as well.

GPS coordinates
It would be great to have a GPS dashboard panel, displaying in the same screen:
- Longitude, Latitude & Elevation
- Velocity
- GPS status (fixed, not fixed, ...)
- Signal's strength
- CompassSomething like this picture: http://i49.tinypic.com/15chxqc.png

It would be great if School Zones were added.
I gave votes to the others. I do understand there are time management issues. This would be a huge plus.

דיווח שריפות
הוספת פיצ'ר לדיווח על שריפות (בשמורות טבע למשל, עבור מטיילים) . הפיצ' ר יעביר את הדיווח למכבי האש. רלוונטי לדיווח מהיר על מקרי הצתה, בלוני תבערה וכדומה. צמצום זמן התגובה של מכבי האש הוא בעל ערך עצום לצמצום נזקי השריפה.
Adding a feature for reporting incidents of arson in nature reserves. The feature will notify the firefighters and share the direct location.

Waze should allow users to add friends through their emails or phone number. Not everyone has Facebook.
Waze should allow users to add friends through their emails or phone number as oppose to just Facebook. I've a lot of friends who have Waze but not Facebook and we can't add each other which is a shame.

Have the option of showing public EV charging stations.
Have the option of showing public EV charging stations. As a EV car owner I have to toggle between my chargepoint and Waze app when driving to find spots to charge my car. Also make EV avatars for us electric car drivers :)
123 votesThank you for your suggestion! Adding EV charging stations to the map is under consideration.
Stay tuned for more features and updates on Waze’s social pages on Facebook and Instagram -
Show Dirty roads with the same width as Street but with an irregular border
A lot of users are complaining about Dirty Roads visibility in small screens, this would fix it.

Distance units
The Waze client appears to use three types of unit for distance reporting, miles, decimal fractions of miles and feet.
In the UK we generally use two units for road distance, miles and yards. We do not measure road distance in feet, I measure the size of my bedroom in feet but not the length of my road.
Also "point one miles" doesn't mean a lot to me or many other people I'd imagine, not to mention that it is shockingly poor grammar.
Please can we have a UK units option, that supports miles, half a mile and yards. Thank…

PTT Comunication
It would be great to add PTT type communication to go on the road and communicate if a big family goes in different vehicles. This work has been done by the Zello App for a long time, but it would not be bad to add that function to Waze natively.

Display the destination address
Show me the final destination address, at least when I get close to it. Just having the voice say "you've arrived" isn't precise enough when I could be 100 or more feet away. I drive for Uber and have to close the WAZE app to see what address I'm looking for.

Close Waze and mark parking place on Bluetooth disconnect
Many cars have Bluetooth, and our phones connect and disconnect automatically on starting and shutting down the car. It can be used as an indication of the drive ending, and optionally closing/sleeping Waze and/or setting the parking place
I imagine an option stating “On Bluetooth disconnected: Mark parking place on/off - Close/sleep Waze on/off”109 votes
