  1. Make "Police reported ahead" prompts work in background

    On my Samsung Galaxy S3 the "police reported ahead" prompts dont work when the app is running in background, however, the "vehicle stopped on shoulder" prompts work just fine. I would like the opposite. Thanks,

  2. If going from/to work/home on preferred route, set audio to "alerts only".

    We all go from work/home several times a week, usually by a preferred route, unless there's some traffic jam. I would like that the default audio setting is "alerts only" if I'm driving the route I know REALLY well. If it's rerouting me from my preferred route due to some event, then use whatever method is set for the client.

  4. Notifications for Commuting times

    It would be great if Waze could send out a notice when my commute dropped below a certain time.

    I like to keep working until my commute drops to below 35 minutes. If I could get a push notification when that was the case (maybe I could designate the start point, end point and the relevant time frame), then I could stop checking the app every 20 minutes.

    Thanks.

  5. Utilise Waze's live traffic data to manage traffic flow for an entire city

    Utilise Waze's live traffic data to manage traffic flow for an entire city by interfacing with traffic control systems, like lights and lanes, and charge local governments for the increased productivity.

  6. Idées d'améliorations | ideas for improvements

    Francais :
    Tout d'abord, c'est dommage qu'on est pas un indicateur qui donne la qualité de retour sur la route empruntée. En effet, on ne sait pas s'il y a 1 ou 100 personnes devant nous. Un petit indicateur indiquant le nombre de personnes sur la même route que nous serait pratique.

    Ensuite, les péages sont pris en compte lors du trajet. Il serait intéressant de les noter sur la map, mais aussi mettre leurs prix. Soit il y a une base de données ouvertes, soit ,comme pour les prix des pompes à essences, on utilise les utilisateurs. Quel est…

  8. Add option to enable and disable Waze based on Bluetooth and charging status

    Add the ability to enable or disable Waze based on various factors, such as bluetooth being enabled, name of paired device currently connected, or if the phone is currently connected to a power source. I love the app but I often forget to turn it off or on. As a result, I either burn battery by gps staying on if I forget to turn it Waze off, or I don't contribute to the community if I forget to turn Waze on. This could also be accomplished externally through integration with Tasker, as suggested by these ideas :

  10. Level of guidance option

    I would like a new low setting for "level of guidance" under sound settings. I wish I could set it to a two stage tone notifications. Such as one ding x amount of feet before the turn and then a double ding immediately before the turn.

    I find that the verbal instructions can be more than necessary in more familiar areas.

  12. Make map chats into a full messaging feature.

    Map chats usually pop up and then disappear after a while, leaving no trace. I would like to be able to get back the chats I receive and respond to them later when I'm not driving. This would increase the 'socialness' of Waze and maybe even lead to making new friends on the road.

  13. I would love to see the ability to plot a holiday lights display on the map.

    I'd like o be able to plot the great holiday lights displays in my area so I can tell other Wazers about them. Additionally one could have Waze plot a lights tour path to follow.

  15. MPG Tracking

    Have a section available (possibly with the gas prices reporting) that allows you to input the amount of gas ($) & quantity (gallons) so you can keep track of how many miles/gallon you're getting.

  16. Car care features implemented in to the Waze

    Waze could have same kind of an fuctionality as there are in many car care apps in the market.
    -Counting mileages and fuel consumption.
    -You could set up odometer reading when u should change oil etc etc and Waze could remind you of that.
    -When navigating to a far away destination Waze could warn u if gas should run out before you reach there and suggest gas station en route.

    For example on iPhone there is app called Gas Cubby that can count mileages and costs for running your car but you have to put in mileage and gas price…

  18. Eco mode

    How about an Eco mode that would give you a warning beep if you accelerate or decelerate too fast or drive over the posted speed limit? Of course, the driving speed (for traffic) would need adjusted (because if you're driving 10 under the speed limit for MPG reasons that doesn't mean that there's traffic issues).

  20. Allow more granular control over notifications

    I'd love to be able to adjust my notifications a bit more specifically than I can currently. For example, I want to turn off chit-chat notifications, and I'd love to have both an audio and visual notification for red light/speeding cameras, police, and severe traffic.
