Change the name of follow my drive menu category
When I want to share my drive, I have to go to menu - Send - Share my drive.
The menu category should be called "share drive" or something other than "send". Most people see it and say "send... send what?", and don't get it. A more descriptive name on that menu would help.
(Waze 3.7.2 on Android 2.3.6)

"Friend Driving" Notification Should Be Adjustable Based On Distance
I don't need Waze to tell me that my friends in New York City or Miami are driving when I am in Toronto, Canada (unless, I guess, if they have set a route to come to Toronto). Waze should allow us to specify how far away a friend can be that it will notify us of the fact that they're driving.

More camera types - security & unknown
Sometimes you just don't know what type of traffic camera it is. Waze needs to add a camera type called "unknown". Also, monitoring and security cameras at intersections are becoming increasingly popular, especially in urban areas. I see these cameras go up and down in ways because people miss report them as stoplight or speed cameras, when in fact they are merely security and traffic monitoring cameras. Therefore, just have another category called, "security" and be done with it. Drivers want to know what those cameras are in the first place, so Waze can certainly help there and prevent further…

During long distance travel "Add a Stop" feature spreads options (eg cafe) too widely apart without asking for more input as to which side of travel this Added Stop would be searched for.
I have done long routes in the past and half of the Stops that it finds are near my end point far in the distance and unnecessary for what I'm looking for at the time.
So an additional question "Close, or futher down" OR "Within the next _miles or _ minutes " would get better results for folks looking for a good stop either now or…

Add a setting to eliminate events
There is a setting to limit the number of events to On route only, 5 miles, 10 miles, etc, but there is no way to completely eliminate event pop ups. This is very annoying as I use my phone to listen to music and every time I get a n event pop up, the music stops for a few seconds. Please create and option to have no event pop ups.
Thank you.

Why not believe me 1st time I report road closed? Why send me a 2nd time the same way?
You guys really sucked today. Reported exact same road closure 4 days ago after being 20 mins late bc WAZE didn't know. Now today WAZE sends me same way again!!!!! You guys are jerks for not believing me 1st time. I told you it was RR XING construction project. Why not look it up after I report it 1st time so you know how long to leave closure in place??? I shouldn't have to deal w same closure I reported already to you a 2nd time.

No group search results come up for my group "Transporters". Why? Search results need to be fixed.
Fixing search results so people can find you. Also nickname should be used as creator. I have asked people to search for it and nothing. Also have a way to send invites other than through Facebook. Should be able to invite single users. Email has no link to my username. Why?

'Add a stop' by touching the map
Today, you can only add a stop by choosing a favourite or typing a location. Often, when I drive to a certain location, I stop by a small detour on the map of a location I just know by ... location. I think being able to just open up the map and touch where you need to go would greatly improve the 'Add a stop' feature

Fix Nav/Add a stop -
When I add a stop (iPhone 4s) The navigation usually gets "stuck" in "proceed to the highlighted route" and updates sporadically, if at all. The car icon tracks properly on the map, but the text is frozen. This happens most of the time I use "Add a stop".

My 1997 Saab 9000 had a really helpful option. It was a speed alarm.
You can set it to a speed, when you accelerate beyond that speed, it beeped until you slowed down below the set speed. Very helpful for long roads with little traffic.

Move pop-up alerts to the bottom of the screen
When the pop-up alerts are displayed on the screen, it means I can't see any other alerts that may be coming up directly after that alert until I update, pass or close out the alert. My commute involves heavy traffic around the New York area and often there may be an accident right after a cop or a hazard right after a construction zone. It would be nice if one alert didn't limit my ability to see other upcoming alerts. If the alerts were moved to the bottom of the screen (I don't always need to see my car on…

More privacy required
I know about the anonymous option, but this is not my point.
I would like to have the feauture to everyone to be only your nickname from Waze client, at maximum, to be shown. So, if you're logged in to Facebook, as I am, it won't appear your picture from Facebook or your name either; instead I would recommend to shown only the Waze emotion and the Waze nickname. To avoid any persuit, identity anything else that makes you easy to be track.
So, only your friends will see your picture on the map and your name.It's not just…

Show as Navigation Option
Waze does not show as a navigation optiot in the Google Navigation System. Other apps, such as, Scout, Google navigation, Google Maps, show as navigation options. Waze does not appear on the Android Navigation option screen.
It should be an easy fix for the Android system to recognize Waze navigation.

IOS - Please add option for thicker roads
I am driving in dense areas (Paris in France). Would it be possible to have a thicker road display because sometimes I can't differentiate the purple from other roads. Thanks
