Expensify integration
We use Expensify to report our expenses including milage reimbursement. It would be great if the recorded drives could be used in Expensify.

Allow Menu and Report buttons to be hidden or transparent
For screens that can suffer from burn-in, the buttons at the bottom of the Android client are very bright and prominent. While I have been lucky that the burn went away on my stock Galaxy S3, it would seem a nice option to be able to modify settings for those buttons. I would think either a "show on tap", or transparent option would be best. Perhaps also changing them to a darker look when in night mode would help too.

LinkedIn integration for work related friends
We all know adding work related contacts and friends to Facebook isn't best practice. But when and where do people use Waze the most? Right, driving to and from and during work. Now wouldn't it be a nice feature if Waze supported LinkedIn integration so that your Waze friend list is a combination of Work (LinkedIn) and personal (Facebook) contacts? Well, then vote.

Hazard descriptions
I would like to see the hazard description when it pops up to alert me that one is coming soon. Currently, to see what kind of hazard it is, you have to find it on the road and click on the icon. Then you will know if it's a car on the side or something in the road, etc. The pop up alert should tell you what it is so you know what to expect.

Ability to declare a suggested route bad
Sometimes Waze suggests routes that are so bad as to be cringe worthy. It would be nice to to be able to report them for review.

Weather Icons instead of Hazard Icons on Map
Weather reports show up as Hazard icons. While it does say what the weather condition is below, it is not easy to read if you are driving in bad weather. It would be nice to see weather icons reported by other Waze users.

My Rank and the scoreboard
I'm bummed that you only show the top 50 wazers on the scoreboard. I'm ranked 299 (kinkstone) currently and I want to see the spread of points above and below me.
Please add a pair of options at the top of the list (where you show all v. state and all times v. weekly) where I can choose between "top" or "around me". When showing the scoreboard around me, show the 50 wazers with me centered in the list.
That way I can see the movement and score distribution of people like me.

Option to Ignore Construction Zones
It would be tremendously helpful to have the ability to ignore construction zones/certain stretches of road. And if possible with the option to automatically ignore if speeds are less than a certain threshold.

Interchange guidance method in ver. 2.2 is wrong. Revert to 2.0 method.
In version 2.2 (Android & iPhone) the written guidance in interchanges was changed. It tries to look-ahead and gives guidance based on the ramp exiting the interchange.
This is inconsistent with the way guidance worked in version 2.0 and therefore inconsistent with the ramp's naming in the Waze map. It leads to confusing guidance that does not match the actual road signs.
This is really dangerous as it increases drivers' confusion in the interchange.
Please revert the guidance method to the way it was in version 2.0For details see http://www.waze.co.il/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=9996&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15#p59430 (in Hebrew)

Location and type of landmark in search results
For easier identification of a landmark, it could be great, to know the settlement or road which is near it and the type of the landmark, after the name of the landmark, like this:

Add user report confirmation/cancelation buttons for all events
Add user report confirmation/cancelation buttons for all events, similar to "police/not here". This would allow to refresh the reports in the map by other drivers, provide more 'live' info + quicker cancellation of outdated events.

use Android API for event buttons and text input
to report traffic/event irrelevancy it is darn hard to hit that tiny round button with a caret (>) at the end of the event item. instead I should be able to use a long press on a much broader list item to pop up the menu. also, the menu that pops up ought to be from the API. it would create bigger buttons (better for touch sensitive devices) and makes for a much more consistent device use experience plus it would make it more accessible while driving. More accessible means less accidents.
also text input. there seems to be no way to correct typos a few chars back without using backspace. In Android API text inputs users can easily use the navigation buttons/trackball to scroll to the place of mistake and make a MUCH quicker edit.

Bring back the animal feature.
Bring back the animal feature. I live in the low country and the animal feature has saved me so many times from hitting Bambi.

Allow speed bumps to be reported from app
In India, due to the high number of speed bumps in all cities, it is really difficult for the volunteer editors to get to all speed bumps in time.
It would be really nice to report the speed bumps from the app while driving like a pothole report. Since speed bumps do not vanish immediately, they could stay on the app and then reconfirmed by other Wazers.
Please also allow it to be reported from app, Car Play and Android Auto as our Wazers are spread all over.

Copilot feature
I have a suggestion that I think would be excellent and differentiating from other applications. This is a functionality that could be called "Copilot", and that allows a device with a Waze account to establish a new destination to a different device. For example, I have Waze on my device while I'm driving, and my wife can set a new destination for me from her own device without having to touch mine, for that reason I thought the function could be called "Copilot".
This same functionality would also be very useful when navigating with CarPlay, so that I can continue focusing on driving while my co-driver is in charge of searching for and setting a new destination en route, such as an en route gas station, place to eat or visit, etc. And without me as the driver having to touch anything, a new destination or stop will automatically be established in my Waze.

Allow longer time to report road closure.
When I come upon a road closure, I need to avoid emergency vehicles and workers, and be careful of other traffic. Once I get clear of the incident, I try to report it. But by that time, Waze won't let me select the intersection where the problem was. It seems that you must be in the immediate are of the road to report an issue. This often means that I am unable to report road closure issues when I encounter them. Waze should allow a longer time to report closures. (Why is there any limit at all? I may feel safer reporting a local closure after I get to my destination. )
