En lugar de informar Dónde están los policías no sería mejor informar a dónde están asaltando los ladrones
Como sugerencia sería mejor que en lugar de informar Dónde se encuentran los policías deberían de advertir a la ciudadanía en qué parte están asaltando los ladrones.

Change your password rules! Asking for a minimum of 8 characters, numbers and special characters is STUPID!!!! You are not a bank!!!
relax your password rules. If people want to use 20 characters and weird symbols lets them. BUT i dont see any reason why I would need a complex password for this type of app.

indicador de radar movel, com tempo determinado para o aviso espirar.
Não é possível criar avisos de operações de fiscalização de transito por Radar Móvel. Sugiro a possibilidade de criar o aviso, o qual duraria um tempo determinado.

Don't allow Wazers that aren't actually moving click on the "not there" button for police reported. Cops are just clicking "not there."
I was informed by a police officer that they use Waze too, and just click the "not there" button as they sit there and clock drivers. If your vehicle isn't in motion, that icon should not be available, or some other idea to beat that. Thanks.

Get german gas prices from the "Markttransparenzzentrale"
In Germany gas stations are required to instantly upload changed prices to an authority called Markttransparenzzentrale, which provides an API for apps to get them and show the user current prices. It would be great if Waze could use this information instead of the almost always heavily outdated and useless user reports.

I would be nice if Waze would show the mileage to a destination without starting the route.

Directions alert
The “audio alert” given by the program proves to be very punctual when travelling in town or small villages, as the alerts are given with sufficient anticipation.
Instead I believe the alerting system become less effective on highways or expressways, where the speed of the vehicle is much higher and the driver’s reaction to further maneuvers is evidently reduced. There is in fact no “preliminary” alert of the subsequent step to be taken, such as “You exit will be at 1000 meters”; this preliminary alert would give, in my opinion, a sort of range of the “distance” for the future moves the driver would be shortly taking. Instead the direction or exit is announced with such a minimal anticipation which put at risk the correct direction to be taken, as the driver might not be reacting timely, or might be forced to hard braking and eventually even miss the path.The “audio alert” given by the program proves to be very punctual when travelling in town or small villages, as the alerts are given with sufficient anticipation.

More accurate "share your drive" with your Wazer friends
More accurate "share your drive" with your Wazer friends, please. At the moment it will update my location on map approx. every 2-3min but i would really like to see almost a real time location on map.
If you share your drive with non-wazer and he/she watch your journey via browser, it looks way better because my Waze figure moves on the map all the time. I assume this location is estimation based on travel time but it's still way better than figure which doesn't move at all or moves point to point every now and then.

Police Zones
Every time you drive on the highway, there are always spots where cops will hide out. Most people will slow down near no u-turn areas because they know of cops hiding there. When somebody makes a report of a cop in an area multiple times, zones or blue circles should be lightly covered on the map and fade over time. These zones will let users know "hey cops like this area a lot" or "ok cops do camp out over here just not recently". I think zoning is an easy thing to add and it helps people slow down in common cop areas!

Assistance information for vehicles on shoulder
It would be nice to know what a vehicle stopped on the shoulder might need if they need assistance. It's dangerous to try and back up down the shoulder after passing a stopped vehicle and noticing that they are struggling to change a tire or need some water or gas.
It would be great if a stopped vehicle could post "need help changing tire" or "out of gas". To get that information ahead of time would allow the ability to make a decision about whether to stop or not and to be able to do so safely.7 votes -

Connect Waze and Yelp!
Connect Yelp! and Waze so when you are on a road trip and need something to eat (or anything on Yelp!) the suggestions are only in front of you, on your route, instead of behind you.

automatic pot holes detection
At our university we have developed Android app which automaticaly analyses data from accelerometer and detects pot holes and road problems. We mark them to the map so the drivers are informed about a road problem ahead of them. See the app in PLAY store - bit.ly/1RCLM3P
We would like to communicate with WAZE representatives about possibility to transfer our know how to waze navigation.

Report button visible on touch
I've noticed the beginnings of screen burn-in on my 2 month old GS7. There is a ghostly action button in the bottom right of my screen visible. Could you please consider making the action button visible on touch, same as the map controls. This would greatly reduce the opportunity for this burn - in to occur.

Bobcat Goldthwait
I think it's self explanatory. Since the inception of consumer grade GPS, I have held that Bobcat Goldthwait would be the best navigation voice. You have the power....but do you have the cojones?

Give us a target speed in traffic jams to help Waze users optimize average throughput
I recently read this article: http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20160428-how-ai-will-solve-traffic-part-one
It talks about how going slower and keeping more space between your car and other cars can actually improve the flow of traffic when it's all jammed up. It also explains how autonomous cars will make this work much better, but also indicates that we can help improve things now by changing our driving behavior.
The article also explains how the highway patrol sometimes sends cars through traffic jams on the highway to break it up and re-channelize it.
If the Waze app could give users a target speed based on traffic conditions, and enough app users tried to keep to that that target speed and maintain proper distance from cars in front of them, perhaps we could collectively improve traffic flow in our communities, even without autonomous cars.

Traffic Jam Elimination Assistance
It seems that Waze could alert the "Wazers" on a road of a recommended speed to adapt that would help "clear" the jam if it is a phantom incident, and it is just a need to dissipate the "wave". See for instance:

מיקום אירוע
השבוע חגגנו חגיגה.
אנחנו נמצאים במקום לא מרכזי ולכן כל אורח היה צריך להתקשר כדי להיות בטוח שהוא מגיע למקום הנכון.
לכן, חשבתי שהיה יכול להיות נחמד אם הייתה אפשרות לפתוח אירוע בוויז (דומה לפתיחת אירוע בפייסבוק) עם ציון המיקום המדויק של האירוע.
בצורה זו יהיה קל לכל האורחים להגיע בדיוק לנקודה המתאימה, בין אם האירוע גדול, קטן, מתקיים במקום סגור כמו אולם או אפילו בחיק הטבע ונדרשת הליכה קצרה.
תודה על התייחסותכם :)7 votes
