PLEASE remove the reporting of potholes -- This is driving me insane.
Hello,
Though I do believe the initial intentions of reporting potholes were genuine, it has become an absolute nightmare for regular wazers.
I live in a metropolitan area and, unfortunately, not many people in my area have any inclination on what a pothole actually is. This has led to people spamming the map with tens of pothole reports on any given stretch of road (usually the reports are for an uneven patch of road, or even a small bump in the road)...
I'm sure other will agree that this issue has led to, and will continue to lead to, alert fatigue. I'm beginning to not pay attention to my alerts.
Now, I do know that I can turn off "hazard" alerts altogether, but I don't want to... I think it's important to know about construction workers on the road ahead of me (for everybody's safety).
So with that I plead to you: PLEASE, for the love of god, turn off pothole alerts. PLEASE!

travel planning option
I know I want to make a journey tomorrow. I have no idea how long it might take. Would love to be able to enter a start point and end point and get an idea of how long it would take if I was doing the journey now. Not exact or guaranteed for tomorrow, I know, but a good rough estimate.

FAVELAS NO RIO DE JANEIRO
Bom dia,
Sou moradora da regiao serrana do RJ, Teresopolis. Eu e meu marido fomos a Madureira-RJ e colocamos no Waze o nome da rua....qdo estávmos a uns 15 a 20 minutos para chegar, o waze me informou um caminho alternativo no qual eu chegaria 4 minutos antes, então eu e meu marido seguimos. Mas como já conhcemos o RJ, começamos a estranhar o caminho que estávamos indo, ou seja, íamos para uma favela em Parada de Lucas, lugar perigosíssimo...então meu marido deu a marcha ré no meio da rua e retornamos...sei que infelizmente moro em uma cidade que vive uma guerra, culpa dos governantes que não fazem 'NADA" para mudar, mas gostaria que vcs fizessem um trajeto sem "pegadinha" que podem causar morte, por favor.
Obrigada

police reports
Hi, I would like to make a suggestion for us waizers that will be very helpful. Perhaps you can add a choice to click on police report that is in the screen so that we just press on it instead of going to Reports then choosing police and then sending it. Please take in consideration that we are driving and most Likely can't stop and enter report and that by the time we enter the report we are ways further from the area we saw the police. I think everyone will benefit from this easy way to report and we will be able to aware other users much faster. Thanks

Replace "Police" with "Emergency Vehicle"
Just an idea to protect our police officers Waze should just list emergency vehicles. This would let me the user know I should approach with caution and would protect our police, fire, etc. from any misuse of our information. Thanks! Maybe also create a Rideshare group. :)

Problem pushing directions bluetooth from android to car speakers
Waze has been my fav for a long time because it pushed spoken directions from all my iPhones to the car speakers via bluetooth. It seemed to do this by tricking my radio (Kenwood) into thinking a call was coming through. Pretty crafty. But since the latest iPhone update that messed up other things regarding bluetooth, Ive gotten an android phone. Now the waze app on android won't push spoken directions to the car speakers when the radio is set on (radio). It seems like a big safety issue since when in the car its hard to hear the little phone speaker and then I'm looking at the phone instead of the road. I'm hoping there's a fix coming soon or maybe there's something i'm not figuring out? insidentally,The interruption of the music momentarily during turn instructions is necessary and shouldn't be seen as agrevating.

Please add the ability to search for closest poi to my current route.
If I am already driving using your app, I would like the ability to search for food, a bank, or a coffee shop not too far off my route. You guys already calculate the time off route but if you add my suggestion it would make your app that much better.

Routing style "least turns"
In an area I've been recently "shortest" and "fastest" routing options will wind me through crowded neighborhoods; rather then main roads and fewer turns.

Add multiple widgets for different addresses
It would be great if I could add a widget for a specific address. Like the Google Maps Directions widget, it's a 1x1 widget that asks for an address and clicking that starts navigation to the specified location.

I was almost late for a race check-in because I crossed over Time Zones and my ETA changed suddenly. Will you be addressing this issue.
I was almost late for a race check-in because I crossed over Time Zones and my ETA changed suddenly. Can you or I address this issue. I need the ETA to be calculated based on destination time rather than on my phone's local time.

Ability to select different text scale.
The map screen seems designed for lower resolution phones. When used on Galaxy S4 the text is too small to read. Suggest adding a scale option.

Update reporting location
It would be great to mark where the report is, example, after observing a police speed trap, we should be able to mark where the trap is. Now Waze assumes it is right where I am when making the report, but that is not accurate.

Is there a Family Locator function?
Is there a Family Locator function? Like if your family member is a waze user, and for privacy they'll let your phone see their location, and you can be guided to their location by the gps?

Adjust optimization for navigation by setting threshold for saving time
Currently, we can choose the navigation type of "Fastest". In my experience, this means that Waze sometimes sends you on an alternate route for a very small time savings.
I'd like to be able to set a threshold for deviating from a route. For instance, each additional 1000 feet of travel must save 2 or more minutes. Or using a smaller street must gain at least 5 minutes.
This could be presented to the user as a slider between fastest and shortest, or an advanced mode that allows one to tweak each parameter.
