Prezados, porque voces não lançam um despertador no waze, acordaria a pessoa conforme o tempo de percurso devido ao transito.
Despertador, a pessoa seria avisa "acordada" tantos minutos antes para chegar ao trabalho por exemplo no horário de sempre. Eu acorda as 5:30 chego no trabalho as 7:20 dependendo da adversidade no transito, ele me acordaria tantos minutos antes.

Allow iPad users to create accounts
Make it so I can sign up and create an account WITHOUT A F**KING CELL PHONE! Some people don't have them but have downloaded iPads for your app, but can't use them because the sign-up forms and support take us around useless circle. "become a member by giving us your phone number." No, haven't got one. "Need support? Just log on." Morons.

International Land Border Wait Time
I would like to suggest that Waze capture wait times at land border ports of entry into the US in the Canadian and Mexico border with automated geofencing. There are millions of people who come in a day into the US and would be a great market for people who come shop in the US.

Drop a pin for reporting wrong location
Sometimes the app directions are a bit off. When I arrive at a place and Waze thinks I haven't arrived to the location yet, it would be nice to be able to drop a pin and report the location. Right now it is a bit cumbersome to report so much of the time I just don't report the error at all.

Hazard nearby voice update
It should state if hazard is on road or on shoulder as most shoulder hazards are not serious as on road hazards.

Stop making people sync to our contacts or facebook. I deleted the latest version.
Keep it simple. Keep it private. Why should we trust you to have a secure website?

Map zoom annoying
OK. I love Waze, but certain things can be quite annoying.
I wanted to find an alternate route and had a few problems.
First, when I went to select an alternate route, Waze didn't give me enough info to be able to select the route I wanted. It just gave me the initial roads, but not cities that I normally would use to select a route waypoint.
The map showed cities that I was not very familiar with. (e.g. Washington DC to Allentown, PA did not show York, Lancaster or places I could identify)
And most annoying, I had auto-zoom off, but Waze insisted on zooming in and rotating the map if I didn't constantly touch or adjust the display. Very frustrating!

Allow swipe to close notifications.
When a notification appears on the Waze client, there's an "X" on the top-right corner to close it. The close button also has an auto-timer, which is fine.
However, while driving it is hard to tap the exact location of the "X" and often i tap on another nearby portion of the screen, which only causes the display to change. And waiting for the timer is not always practical (i only need 3-5 seconds to read a notification, not up to 15 seconds!).
So instead (or additionally)... why not have the notifications close by simply swiping them off the screen? Swiping effectively turns the entire notification message into a giant "X" rather than peck-and-hunt (and take my eyes off the road) trying to hit the tiny "X" button. And by swiping, i wont have to wait the eternally-long timers before the notifications auto-close. Thanks!

Replace usual "danger icon" by an icon with an image showing type of danger, easier to identify while driving
It should be an great idea to replace actual "danger icon" by different icons showing type of danger.
With actual one, we can identify a danger, that's great, but while driving, it is sometimes difficult to handle smartphone to identify danger origin.
"An image equal 1000 words", so just have a look on smartphone display is better than handle to recognize type of danger !8 votes -
On wp8 please make the text of the current speed a little bigger.
You can do this by removing the km/u text and/or increasing the circle.
Because I use navigation a lot, I'm used to look at my phone for the current speed in stead of my dashboard.
8 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is no longer supported on any Windows Phone device and is not planned to be supported in the near future.

Schedule a trip
I believe that a good function to Waze is allow schedule a trip. I think it can work like this:
- The user put de adress and the time he need to get there.
- Waze calculate the trip and repeat it in a determinated interval.
- When the user have to left, Waze send push notifications, for exemple "Left in 30 minutes", "Left in 15 minutes", "Left in 10 minutes", "Left in 5 minutes"8 votes -
Show password criteria when asking for password
Will not accept my password even after numerous attempts to put in new passwords. Could this be because password does not meet criteria? Have put in 7 letters with 1 number and have tried with caps etc. Cannot log in.

road ahead preview button
I would like to have an on map button which, on hold or on press, will zoom out the map to show the entire route ahead.
Releasing or pressing again will go back to regular nav mode.
This is great for getting a sense of the route and not having to be constantly alert to input from the client (visual or auditory).
Thanks,

Instead of adding a Pause button, ask what we are stopping for.
When stopped and it asks if you are in traffic, if the answer is no, let us tell you what we are stopped for. Also, if we go off route, ask if we are leaving our route for bathroom, food, gas, etc. Once we get back in the car, based on where we are, let us tell you where we stopped, and rate it. If for food, let us rate it and integrate the rating with Yelp. If bathroom, let us rate the quality of the restroom overall and if it is family friendly. I have been on the road so much, and wished I could search for a clean restroom along my route. A pause button would be nice, but I think telling Waze why we are stopping, and reporting back with our ratings would better serve the Waze community.

WAZE should allow user to change Traffic Jam status to none
I have driven past & through areas that show traffic slowdowns/jams on WAZE but the traffic is flowing fine. I can find nowhere in WAZE to delete the Traffic Jam problem or change the status to NO slowdown like I can when Hazard or Police is no longer there.
