  6. PLEASE go back to letting us resize our own maps.

    PLEASE go back to letting us resize our own maps. I do not need to see 4 miles down the road. It's very frustrating now and very hard to see the real warnings that are within the next .5 of a mile, which is what I need to know.

  7. Allow user uploaded car icons

    Let us add our own icons for the arrow/car, the current one is too rounded. I want to use my own. Also please move it up the screen slightly, its too close to the bottom info block imo

  8. Suppress public parking lots unless the destination does not have the "Customer Parking" box checked

    The app far too often shows parking lots illogically, resulting in clutter and confusion. There is no need to show a public parking lot for a destination that has its own lot.

    Why the "+" and "-" buttons are not available when in "auto zoom" mode ?

  12. Stop rearranging my favorites. Every couple of weeks I have to put my favorites back in the order I want them.

    My favorites rearrange on their own. Fix this. Maybe an option to order favorites based on use.

  14. Multiple selections on prefered fuel/gas/petrol stations

    It is now possible to select all or just one as preferred fuel/gas/petrol station.
    I would suggest a selection list where you can select multiple preferred gas/petrol stations in your settings/fuels list depending on your own choice or preference

  16. Waze Own DataBase for post codes in Portugal easy search and update by users/editor's.

    Hello.
    We know that beetween a name street that pops 2 options on the screen near you, and you don't know wich one to go, the post code search usually saves the trouble of going to the wrong direction, saving time and resources. So in that sense...

    ...The idea I'm sugesting consists on having a own WAZE database for post codes in Portugal run/managed with the Waze community and, that should be, the primary option when searching for post codes.
    The CTT (primary mailing company in Portugal) as an APP for phone where you can determine a certain post code…

  17. Geotagged event triggers

    Allow the user to define an event such as playing one of your own sounds, display one of your own photos or play a music track at or near specific places. Example uses - get onto a fast stretch of road and your music changes, and changes back when you get into town again. Get a mile from a toll booth and a note appears telling you how much money to have ready. Drive near a grocer and your recording says "don't forget to get the eggs". Go past a tourist attraction and a recording tells you about it. You…

  19. send XMPP message when nearing destination (Jabber)

    some people are offended by outdated technology that requires one to pay for unwanted messages (sms).

    It is beyond inane to use sms on a smartphone when XMPP is far more featured, FREE, secure.

    Waze could further advertise the service with its own XMPP server. This would facilitate such messages, enhance social features, and expand the wondedful world of federation. Prosody and Tigase are great server options.

  20. (Re)-Add a Flemish Voice

    Apparently Google has removed Ellen (Flemish) voice because she was previously provided through Nuance. Google currently doesn't own/have a Flemish voice. Since Waze is owned by google this means we currently don't have a Flemish voice. So I ask if you guys could please ask for our flemish voice back. She is really missed :( FLEMISH ≠ DUTCH
