Synchronize points and levels across all Waze servers
Perhaps most Wazers won't realize this until they go on vacation but points earned in another country may not be added to your profile when you return home. Say you live in the UK and you go on a road trip in the US. When you run Waze for the first time in the US you will have zero points, and you will be relegated back to a baby Wazer. And nothing you earn while on that trip will be added to your profile back in the UK. This is a real dis-incentive to participate in sharing information. Please find a way of synchronizing points and levels achieved across all Waze servers.

Police Car in the middle
On the open interstate highways in the USA the State Highway Patrol sit in the middle but I don't know which direction the police is shooting. If there is a "middle" option, it would alert Waze users of either direction. Not only one side of the highway

Audible alert needed to detour
Detour alerts need to be spoken; when driving we cannot always stop & read the alert until it is too late & are stuck in stopped traffic.

Roadside assistance
Add an option for drivers to report they need roadside assistance and drivers on route will get a notification on the matter.
The assistance could be anything from help changing a tire or the need of jumper cables etc... I also think that a good incentive is to give waze points to drivers who stop and help...
Really think this is an easy to do update that will help people in need (the whole point of waze is a social navigation app...)10 votes -

Bom dia
Sou de São Paulo, Brasil. Na minha cidade existe o rodizio de veículos, sendo de acordo com o final da placa dos carros.
Dependendo do dia da semana, o veículo não pode trafegar na area de rodizio.
Seria legal o waze ao traçar uma rota para o usuario, sugerir a opção de fazer o trajeto desviando da área de rodízio.
Esse recurso o waze ainda nao propcia.
Obrigado,

Add Shazam to the Waze app
I love to use the Waze.app while I'm driving and especially on long road trips. But I find myself switching to Shazam whenever I hear a song on the radio that I want to identify and it can be difficult to switch back and forth between apps while driving on the highway. Can you add the ability to Shazam a song within the Waze.app and show the song title and artist on the map and if I click on it go to the Shazam app?
Thank you and keep up the great work on the absolute best mobile traffic and mapping app! Happy New year!

why is there no ambulance car option? and option to show hospitals on map? I am an EMT who uses Waze at work all the time!
Add ambulance icon to car options, and an option to show hospitals, maybe even the closest ER facility to current location! I use Waze all the time at work as an EMT, and while the first suggestion would just be a treat for those, like me, in the EMS field, the second option would have the ability to assuage new EMTs fears of not knowing the closest hospital facility (we cover ALL of Colorado, though mainly Denver metro area, but still a huge area to learn when you're new).

Support event driven notitfications to zapier or ifttt
It would be nice Waze could attach to other systems with events via for example zapier and/or ifttt. Events that I think of:
Starts navigation to 'lat/lon' (bookmarkname)
Arrives at destination
Is in traffic
Shares route
Is 1 hours, half hour, 15 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes away from its destinationLogs drive (from/to, starttime/endtime, distance traveled, (compressed) gpx attached.
This way everybody could easily make rules like
log {all} journeys to a google spreadsheet.
Or share my drive easily on facebook, twitter, etc.
Or, when I go {home} between {16:00} and {19:00} share that drive with {spouse}.
Or, when destination is {volleybal} share drive with {team members}

Use accelerometer to detect and report on bumpy roads, and offer option to route around them
Use the device's accelerometer to detect bumpiness in the road the user is currently driving on. Send this data to Waze, then use collective data on road bumpiness to offer a routing option so that users can favor driving on smoother roads. Possibly also tie into the existing systems to report/show potholes or road hazards.

An option to reduce the thickness size of streets and avenues!! Read the description to see examples!!
This option would greatly help in cases where there are many nearby streets and avenues, and bridges above these streets and avenues, not allowing us to see clearly the way we should go, or if we must keep at right or left on the track.
For example this screenshot:
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-fjkWYPuDEH8/U08lOa1x5qI/AAAAAAAADpY/NXKXb49hviI/w1080-h1920-no/Screenshot_2014-04-16-20-34-32.png...and it gets worse when we are viewing in 3D mode (looks like a big yellow block), as the example of the same avenue:
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gr14s4-nrts/U08lPeUV_AI/AAAAAAAADpg/59Ex0Yb2XO4/w1080-h1920-no/Screenshot_2014-04-16-20-40-02.pngA smaller thickness for the avenues and streets could look like this examples (edited images):
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-8PaAYWRQMs4/U09YxKSkmAI/AAAAAAAADqQ/dUc0chQ6H2E/w1080-h1920-no/Screenshot_2014-04-16-20-34-32-edited.pngThe screenshots were taken in Brazil's map, São Paulo city, at the coordinates: -23.515856,-46.727073.
Of course this option, to reduce the thickness of the streets, would be optional, because in many countries most of the avenues and streets are planned and are far enough from each other, preventing that this kind of confusion occurs during navigation, but for countries where the streets and avenues are poorly planned, this option would be very useful.
Could be something simple, an option called "Thickness Size", with values ranging from: 5 (the current and default size used in waze), 4, 3, 2 and 1, this last being the lowest possible value for thickness size.
Thanks in advance.

Holiday feature to place report pins on awesome residential holiday light displays.
We took our child out last night trying to find great holiday light displays. We founds some good ones but crowd sourcing great displays would be awesome. Especially if the more people tagged a display the more prominent it would appear in Waze.
