Option to disable route recalculating alert. That nerve wracking chirp is driving me crazy!
Whoever approved that grating & obnoxious squawking route recalculation alarm should be fired. I drive a cab and even my customers cringe when they hear it and say "what's that awful noise". PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET US TURN IT OFF! Alerts only should mean alerts only. Hearing that damn noise screech and grate 5 times when I'm driving through a parking lot is maddening!

Planned drives added to history
I would love it if my planned drives could be added to my driving history. Once the planned drive is complete, there is no record of it in my driving history. I have to input the address all over agin instead of being able to click on it from my history.

Report dangerous driving
Would be super Helpful having an icon to report DANGEROUS DRIVING on Brazilian maps. Too many drivers do not drive safely and overpass de speed limit letting others drivers in danger.
Would be SUPER if Waze could add this service for thee good of all carefully drivers.
Thank you.8 votes -
Add "virtual friends" with his nickname
Sometimes we meet cool people on the waze forum but we prefer not to exchange Facebook account, phone numbers.
It would be cool to add them to share bip bip, message, classification and to compete with.
With the last upgraded there was phone numbers, Facebook account but I think there is a lack of that!4 votes -
Allow the ability to add and see friends on the map. This would be perfect for car cruises, since we are utilizing other apps to do this
I go on a lot of car cruises and we use other third-party apps in order to see our friends live on the map. These apps are very limited and don't offer the display of police speed traps like Waze does, so it would be perfect if we could see our friends on Waze to create a safer cruising experience

Option to turn off toll roads for this drive only
It would be beneficial to have an option to turn off toll roads for this drive only. The alternative is to go into settings and turn off.any times I forget to turn it back on. We live in an area of the country where we tend to use toll roads during certain times of the days. The tolls are very high so during non peak hours would like to use alternate route without toll even if it’s a bit more miles

The WP app needs to be updated. Make functional: additional voices, Facebook/friends feature, landscape view.
The app is great on other devices, but is in need of refinement on WP 8.1. The app does not properly download additional guidance voices (on Terry Crews it stayed at 0 percent for weeks), the social/friends link just goes back to the main Waze screen, the app is locked in vertical position--which is not optimal; and the gas feature (including reporting) doesn't work at all. Ideally, this app should mirror the other devices in terms of functionality--it would be heads and shoulders above the default "Here" app.

Account for (sporting, concert) events along the route when calculating ETA for planned drives
If you need to be somewhere at a certain time, but there is a sporting event along the way, there will be a lot of event traffic just before & just after the event. Waze could account for this traffic when calculating a planned drive. Then, based on historic data for such an event, Waze could either plan a route that avoids the traffic or it could show the ETA so you could drive past the venue during the event. Alternatively, you could know how early before or how late after the event you should leave to avoid the…

Automatically re-open closed roads when vehicles drive there again
Roadworks sometimes finish earlier than expected. When waze sees enough vehicles driving along a "closed" road, the closure should automatically be removed. Or at least flag the road for the local AM to check.

Share the best way to come to your place with your waze friends
You want your friends to join you, and there's a specific way you want to point. That would be great to suggest a route to you (not to a meeting point) and specify the route (using waypoints)

Make list of "suggested eta recipients" editable
Every time I go anywhere using Waze it "helpfully" pops up a picture of ONE person: my ex (and the option to add others). The only person I've ever sent an eta to is my ex, so I guess I'm just doomed to see their contact pic every time I drive?
Even though I've gotten rid of all my Waze friends (why would I need to know when my friend halfway across the country is driving? That's just annoying), and even though I've completely un-synced my contacts (stopped using "send eta" when the resulting info was fairly useless (ex…

The recent update of WAZE is pretty slick, but I do have one concern. Moving the access to friends from the bottom right of the home screen
The recent update of WAZE is pretty slick, but I do have one concern. Moving the access to friends from the bottom right of the home screen and tucked away two frames over is not a great idea. Since the update, I can not see any of my friends online. Currently, If you want to see your friends online, you can access it through the search tab on the bottom left corner, then hit the forward arrow next to your name on top, then scroll down to the menu to find "My friends." For example if I want to…

"Where To?" should disappear a minute or two after a drive starts
"Where To?" every. single. time. I start my car is insane. I don't need to plot my every move. I run to the store or go to work/home way more then I need directions. Waze is my default for traffic alerts and contributing to them when running around town. If no "Where To?" is chosen a couple of minutes after the drive starts, make it close automatically.

Follow my drive web map should show alerts too
During Follow my Drive, your alerts and comments should be broadcasted too. Many times you're driving ahead of a group, and they want to know how the road conditions are. If your alerts appeared on the FMD web, they could see what you're reporting.
Maybe simply use the real time waze map instead of a blank map, so you can see alerts. Don't forget to include the feature for world.waze.com too and not just for the regular US waze.

Group drive function
It would be great to have the ability to add users to your group, then when driving anywhere you add them to your route. When the lead driver makes changes it updates for all in the group. Potentially others in the group track the lead driver, or the destination that is controlled by the lead driver.

Create tours by driving a route and saving it and then be able to email it to family and friends.
By creating and saving tours that you can email or replay you can send them to family, friends, or business associates and have them tour a location or route to show them the best the area has to offer. Realtors could use it to show homes and neighborhoods to prospective buyers.

A Reminder to start driving
I want to drive a destination at a specific time. I want to set the time when I want to be there. When it is time to start the drive Waze will provide a reminder. Similar reminders using TV broadcasts.
