Really great app! Thank you guys for doing such good job!
But nevertheless there are some features that could be done better:
1. App freezes sometimes after start then there is no connection with GSM network.
2. Then there are numerous alerts on the same spot, only nearest is announced. E.g. among "police", "accident on the road" and "vehicle on the shoulder" happend in the same area, only "vehicle on the shoulder" will be announced, meanwhile "police" is more important, because it is also used for mobile radars. It would be great, if "police" alert had priority over others alerts.
3. Mobile radars or LIDARs. Then I see one on the road I can only mark them as "police". Those radars should have proper alert sign and extended time before they disappear from the map, (if no one mark them as "still present" during the night).
4. When I set destination and add midpoint, after loss of connection with GSM network only destination point is only reestablished. Once I didn't note that, and drove 30 km in wrong direction.
5. Red light camera should be always announced, not only when you approach it with the speed above the limits.But nevertheless there are some features that could be done better:

Entrance to GWB from Riverside Dr South in NYC, dangerous directions.
This entrance puts you in the left lanes of 6 lanes of ferocious traffic. Waze always recommends the Lower Level, which is the rightmost 2 lanes, and would require crossing several lanes of traffic in a very short distance - very dangerous. Waze should recommend the Upper Level which is directly ahead and requires no lane change. People not familiar with the area may attempt to follow the Lower Level directions which would lead to hazardous driving.

Enter favorite locations using site/app (more than 1.000 miles away)
Next month my family and I are going to Cancun for vacation and I wanted to be prepared and start entering destination points as favorites into my app to be ready for my trip. I realized I cannot do this through my app because I am more than 1000 miles away and this option is not available on the website that could make things way easier for planners like me.
Thanks!

בעיה במפה
שמתי לב לכך שהמערכת לא מזהה מעברים תחתיים בכביש, כדוגמה: בצומת כפר שמריהו, בצומת קפלן מנחם בגן ליד עזריאלי, ובמנהרת אלוף שדה. המערכת שולחת אותי לעבור את הצומת דרך הרמזורים מלמעלה ולא שולחת אותי לעבור במעבר התחתי. התוצאה הארכת זמן הנהיגה. כדאי לעדכן את המערכת.

Dear waze, could you send notifications regarding accidents or traffic near you ?
Waze tells us every time there is an accident or traffic and shows us the best route to avoid it. But most of the times its too late and we only get to see this when we turn the apllication on and get in our cars. It would be really helpful if you could add a feature where it warns you beforehand by sending a notification, this way you know before leaving home in the morning or whenever you're going somewhere that you need to leave before your usual time so you're not late. Please consider this. Thank you wazers

Show upcoming canteens on the road you're moving
An added feature, which I think could be useful, would be the ability to show the nearest canteen or burger van on the road we're moving. If the community could be allowed to add the info it would slowly populate and could have it on the screen as a reminder to grab something to eat.

Routing would be better if www.kennedyexpresslanes.com data were checked every few minutes.

Hello team Waze !
Hello team Waze !
My naame is Yuri Shargaev, I live in Netanya, Israel.
Knowing all the reasons why my letter to you can remain unanswered,
I yet approach you with an offer. The thing is, that I have an Idea,
but what I do not have is time nor resources to realize this idea for it is a big and complex project, especially for one person.
(And I do not have any experince in this field of work. But as far as I know, this said idea deserves very close attention and I am looking for ways to realize it.)This said idea is a "collection of existing technologies which have never been collected in this way, or any similiar way."
Besides technological point of view, said idea is based on psycological and sociological behavior patterns of the avarage "internet consumer", or in other words - "the avarage joe".
What the idea does, basically is, it makes commecials and marketing over the internet a lot simpler, a lot more effective and most importantly - reliable to the consumer.
In the right hands, this idea will be a very strong competitor to Facebook and will have many strong points that Facebook does not have.You, team waze, have all it takes to make this real.
For more information, questions or anything I can be of help, please write to my e-mail: Shargaev@gmail.com
Kindest regards,
Yuri Shargaev.

הגבלת אזור
מתן אפשרות למשתמש לשרטט "אזור הגבלה".
כיום ניתן להימנע משטחי הרשות, מכבישי אגרה, וכיוצא בזה.
אבל מה עם כביש מסוים שאני לא רוצה שאשלח לשם.
כפר מסויים שאני לא רוצה למצוא את עצמי שם.
אזור כלשהו שאני רוצה להגביל.
שרטוט:

see comments below.
enlarge font on street names. give all street names, ALWAYS give name of street you are currently on. when making a turn, have a quick illustration as slow illustrations lead to problems especially when the street names in that area are not given.

Navigation "Training" mode.
I use it just about every day for going to work on the 405 in Los Angeles and back home. I would like it to indicate how much time the suggested route is saving versus the regular drive I would normally take. I think you would have to add a "training" mode. This way I can decide if it really is worth it to take the suggested route.

Please fix bug and improve the App.
Dear Sirs,
I am a user of "Waze" application more than 2 years ago and very satisfied of it.. and that's why I wrote a 5 star feedback to "Google Play"..
Also I'm ranked in 29th position of my Country (Greece) with name "AnastasiosII"..
Last 2 weeks the Application appears a bug and can't connect to device's GPS (!!).. so it uses network's approximately position..
If you're wondering if my phone's GPS works properly the answer is YES and it's tested on "Google Navigator".. and "Sygic" normally..
Appreciating all your great work I would like make you some suggestions that I think it will improve further the "Waze"..
1. There's no option to correct or to remove a wrong notification.. Sometimes a situation on the road can change instantly.. so a notification on map can be wrong or useless..
So I think it should be very effective for the users can edit at anytime (probably after 2 different edits or from high ranked users)..
2. When you Pave a new road or path.. it's nessesary to be online in network otherwise it doesn't work.. but in sometimes it's impossible.. Mobile Networks are not stabile and they have not coverage everywhere..
I think any correction can be stored mainly on the phone and then it can uploaded when network it's available..
and
3. In older versions the "Traffic notification" (and others) had an option for the otherside of the road the problem was.. but in last versions you have removed.. so now we can't warn the other side users..
I wish my notifications will help you improve your products and all the Community..
For any further information or comment please do not hesitate write me back..
Kind Regards

Split the long road into segments
There is only one option so far to see if there is a jam. The whole segment of the road between the junctions is marked as one piece.
It is probably fine with very short roads and many junctions, but when the road is long and there is only a relatively small problem - Waze is misleading.
Besides if I see the last metres before the junction to be red, I understand that there is a traffic light. When the whole street is red - there is a jam.
There are too many long roads which have a problem in the middle (say, a roadwork) causing local problems. There is no need to pain the whole segment red.

Faster nightmode detection
I have an Android car stereo with Waze.
When I turn on ignition, Android boots up and Waze starts.It seems that Waze needs GPS as well as network access to detect night mode. As after bootup, GPS and network needs a while (1 or 2 minutes), Waze starts in day mode even in the night.
Please, do not addict night mode detection to GPS and network, and look at the local clock. Possibly use last known position and the current time.
With Waze's full brightness of day mode it dazzles - driving so is really dangerous.
