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.

Plugins!
Instead of competing against other products and services, why not allow them to be PART OF (feed info into) Waze? Plugins, if you will.
Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOyhnwA6MQo
Escort Live is a social driving program for people who use Passport Radars. Wouldn't it make more sense for everyone ("them" because they'd be able to enjoy Waze and its massive user database, and "us" because we'd get the real-time radar info?) if Escort Live was available inside Waze?
Waze is great because it's so clean, so I understand not wanting to have other data services "clutter up" the experience, so perhaps if a user wasn't "subscribed" to a service, then they wouldn't see the data in that "feed" in the first place.

Release new symbian version
The symbian is very popular platform wich is dying, I know. But it is still popular, and mobile phones with symbian Bella are still being released. It would be great to up to date the existing version. I heard that android and iphone use opengl to render 3d maps and symbian doesnt support it, but I think it is not the cause to completely close the symbian project.

parking lot landmarks / traffic analysis
I would like to see certain landmarks not count as traffic analysis. If an area is marked as a restaurant, parking lot, gas station, etc.. the time a waze client spends there should NOT count against traffic analysis. Wazers can't be expecte to turn their nav system on and off just to order a burger, or fill up the tank. In reality, a nav system should be as "hands off" as possible for the daily commute. start waze when you get in the car.. go on your trip, pull over at the gas station and leave waze running. go through the drive through and order lunch.. etc. then when you reach your destination, turn waze off.

Use acceleration sensors to improve navigation
I think it will be good idea to use acceleration sensors to improve navigation when GPS signal is weak. For example in tunnels. Also it may help in situation when GPS accuracy is insufficient. For example to better determination of position in roundabout.

Not there outside routing
We need an option to report "Not There" on incidents, even if it's not on the planned route. Now it's only possible when a popup comes up for the planned route. The "Not There" option should be present on any popup when clicking on an incident icon, even if it's on the other lane or outside the planned route, but within viewing distance.

Event alerts-"On Route" as a default
I am tired of seeing like 22 event alerts (cops, traffic, etc.) while driving my inputed route. when I hit the red exclamation mark it takes me to them and then I can select "On Route" to find out which one's only apply to the way I'm going...why not make the "On Route" button the default instead of "Around Me"???

Automatically start/stop reporting on bluetooth connect/disconnect
Please consider a settings option to report traffic only if exact bluetooth device (my car HF) is connected. This could be very useful feature to avoid false traffic reports.
Settings:
- Turn feature ON / OFF
- Choose BT deviceBehaviour:
- When exact bluetooth device is connected, wait until some ratelimit speed is reached (i.e. 30 kmh) and start reporting.
- When bluetooth device is disconnected, automatically stop traffic reporting.10 votes -
Feature of non-static Speedcams without approval from AM
There are two things that can be reported - Police and Speedcams. Police shows up immediately, but speedcams (according to the footnote) must be approved and a user will be warned about that only if driving with excessive speed. However there are non-static speedcams too. Most users are repoting them as a police trap, but this is actually a speedcam, and it is changing its location over time. Notifying user when driving with excessive speed is ok, but I think that notifyication about non-static speedcams should be in any case, for example if there is an error in a map and waze does not know correctly about the allowed speed on a particular road.

Average Speed Check
Subject / Title:
Clearer visual indicator for Average Speed Check zones (progress bar & average speed)
Description:
Hi Waze Team,
I would like to suggest a UX/UI improvement regarding the Average Speed Check zones (Average Speed Cameras).
Currently, Waze mostly relies on audio alerts for these zones, which can be easily missed. It would be extremely helpful to have a clear, prominent visual element on the screen so that a driver can tell at a glance (in a fraction of a second) that they are currently inside a speed check zone.
I propose adding a dedicated visual widget or bar that includes:
A progress slider/bar: A visual timeline showing our exact position within the zone and how much distance is left until the exit camera.
Current average speed: A dynamic display of the vehicle's average speed since entering the zone, helping the driver stay compliant with the limit.
A distinct, easily scannable graphical element (e.g., a colored bar or card) would significantly improve driving comfort and safety.
Thank you for your continuous work on improving Waze!

Cześć, zgłaszam sugestię ulepszenia interfejsu podczas przejazdu przez Odcinkowy Pomiar Prędkości (OPP). Aktualnie Waze ostrzega o nim głównie dźwiękowo. Przydałoby się rozwiązanie, które pozwala jednym szybkim spojrzeniem na ekran upewnić się, że wciąż jesteśmy w strefie pomiaru.
Proponuję wprowadzenie paska lub kafelka, który zawierałby:
Wizualny suwak/pasek postępu (ile drogi do końca nam pozostało).
Średnią prędkość z odcinka (dynamicznie wyliczaną, aby kierowca wiedział, czy jedzie przepisowo).Subject / Title:

Animal Crossing Hazard
I tend to be on the road often and absolutely love using Waze whenever I need a GPS. As someone on the road often, I tend to notice there are many times that there are sudden animal crossings or a lost pet on the side of the road. This does tend to be on highways where many people are going very fast and are not as careful with their driving.
I recently thought of the idea- I think Waze should include a button, under the hazard category where we could press some form of “careful animal crossing” button to warn other drivers there may be a sudden animal crossing or pet walking the side of road. This would alert other drivers, allowing them to drive with more caution to protect themselves as well as the animal.
I wanted to share this idea and see if it could be implemented in the app. I hope this could work.
