  1. Allow push notifications for people surrounding a temporary road closure to know about temporary parking violations and planned road closure

    For someone like me that only checks my mail 1-2 times a week, receiving a paper notification of a road closure or temporary parking violations may not always work.

  2. Recalulate Route Button / Bird's Eye Route / I'm On This Route Button

    Seems like there are lots of these that get one or two votes and die the way of the dodo just like I will assume this suggestion will do. Although the idea behind Waze is social-traffic guidance it doesn't do the commuter a lot of good when they are in route on a multi-lane interstate in the middle of rush hour(s).

    We all give permission for Google/Waze/everyone to know our location so use that information to know that we are on the route and recalculate the traffic speeds based on our movement and feedback on our phones.

  3. automatic accident

    If your car comes to a sudden halt or veers off course dramatically and unexpectedly, have waze pop up with a message asking if you have been in a accident. The message must stay for 5 seconds, and if you do not cancel it or press the "NO" button, it automatically alerts a nominated friend and sends them the last known location

  6. No shutdown when screen off

    Hello,

    I read that waze automaticatly shutdown itselves if it detects it is used in background

    However this could be helpfull if we can set "on" or "off" this option. For exemple, with my phone I prefer to shutdown the screen to save the battery (I toggle the screen on when I want to see or inform about something) . But by this way waze shutdown itself

    May it be possible to make it as an option in a futher version ?

    Yours sincerely

  7. Choose time of reports before calculates the route

    The ability to choose what old time has to be a report to be considered in my route. For example, if anyone has reported that last hour was traffic on a road, it is not said that there is even now, indeed probably there is not traffic now and so it is not necessary to calculate an alternate route. So it would be useful to have a possibility to set a parameter that filters on what must be a recent report so to be considered eg. in the last 30 minutes, in the last 15 minutes.

  9. Present Route Options First

    I recently was going to drive home, a 30 mile trip. Waze said traffic was bad and it was going to take an hour and twenty minutes. I opened up the route options and was appalled to see Waze was going to take me on a route 52.7 miles (for a 30 mile trip) to save 11 minutes. Drive an extra 22.7 miles?! Cmon Waze, gotta do better than that. Please initiate routes by allowing us to select our route by showing us an overview of our options. Thanks!

  11. Waze maps to closest street instead of named street

    I have noticed a few times lately that Waze seems to map the directions to the closest street to the gps point of the address, which is not always the same as the street the address is on. This means, for instance, that where there are houses which are set back from the street, Waze often maps to a neighboring street instead of the correct street, because it's closer to the marker.

    In one residential neighborhood with houses set back from the street, one address is mapped to a nearby condo complex behind the house. Another house is mapped to…

  12. Histórico de tempo real de viagem

    Olá
    Sugiro uma melhoria ao aplicativo: poderia ser possível visualizar o tempo das últimas viagens (histórico) em relação ao estimado pelo aplicativo (origem, destino, percurso utilizado, tempo gasto, tempo previsto) para que o usuário possa avaliar o seu tempo real de percurso
    Obrigado
    Marcelo

    Hi
    I suggest an improvement for the app: it would be possible to check the real time of the routes done compared to the estimated time from the app (origin, target, route used, time done, time predicted) for the user evaluate the real time of the route.
    Thanks

  13. Widget for accidents or hazards

    When it shows a hazard or accident , make that a widget that you slide to the left for "not there" or to the right for "thumbs up", it'll be much easier, thanks for reading!

  17. Display phone contacts while navigating

    Display the phon's contacts on the map while driving. As a sales rep i'm on the road all the time, often driving large distances for 1 or 2 clients, it then would be usefull to see which other contacts/customers are nearby my destination or route.

  18. Filter search results by whether a business is open

    Google Maps allows filtering of search results by whether the business is open or not; Waze should have feature parity.

    • Be abble to set up the distance before the control zone, to which you want to be warned.

  20. Alert events pop up is too big in new version

    The alert events pop up in new waze version is too big if you are using the landscape mode. This is making hard to see the map in front of you.

    Balloon pop up of older version in right corner was much better.
