  1. Larger Closure Range

    When you want to add a closure, it only shows the roads infront of your trip. More often then not, you get to the intersection and find out theres a closure that Waze didnt know about, you have cars behind you so you turn a different direction. So when you press on 'Closure', it doesnt let you chose the closure you just passed because it is now behind you.

  2. Waze can synchronize with calendars and remind - alaram few minutes before the driver has to start his way. Many features can be used

    1. For example, you can tell waze in the morning that you need to be in a specific location in a certain time and it will remind you to start driving several minutes before.
    2. It can synchronize with calendars and manage you time schedules with reminders and alarams

  3. fewer touches to get navigation started

    it seems to take a lot of clicks (er, touches) to get navigation started.

    1) Enter (or speak) address
    2) Choose from list of addresses (even if there's only one address)
    3) Touch GO
    4) Touch GO (again, can be skipped)

    tough to do if the car is already in motion. Or so I hear. I would never be mucking with my phone or tablet while in motion.

  4. Android Auto default on Go button when POI selected

    I have a car with touchpad/buttons to select with no touchscreen.

    When I search for a point of interest (usually through voice commands) and select from the list, it displays information about the poi, but I need to move the cursor all the way to the Go button to start the trip. This is a hassle without a touchscreen.

    Can this be defaulted to the Go button to make the selection quicker and safer?

    Alternatively, can we start the trip ("Go") with a voice command?

    Hi
    So i have two suggestions for you, first one is that adding a road refresh future / botton (manual and automatic with 5,10,15,20, intervals) which refreshes the road a head so if there is a traffic change in road a head it changes the directions (with the sound that alerts you that "road refreshed" ) , of course if you are near the next turn or something like these it doesn't change this turn or direction and changes further ahead.
    The Second one is that adding something like a custome map which you can add or share a…

  6. Listening tone.... When ready to accept a voice comand

    When you tap to give a voice comand a box comes up with a red bar that turns green when the app is ready to listen to the comand.... If you speak to early you have to try again and unless you keep you eye on the bar you have to guess when to start to talk. There should be a tone that signals the green listening mode.

  7. An option for early arrival that when activated automatically sets your departure time to get you places 5, 10 or 15 minutes early.

    When activated, Waze would calculate your departure time not for the event's start time, but rather 5, 10 or 15 minutes prior.

  8. 4.70.1.0 for Android - disable automatic "recent locations" tab

    Why would you even bother adding such a thing? I don't need it. I know where to go for recent locations. I don't want to see it pop up every time I start waze.

    Keep up these "improvements" and I'll be switching apps. Stop dumbing down the UI. Quit piling more and more crap on the main screen. There is no point. I want a map. I want traffic (audible) alerts. When using a destination, I want audible turn-by-turn directions. THAT'S ALL.

    And TURN OFF THAT DAMNED CHIRP. Or, give me a toggle where I can turn it off.…

  10. "landscape" phone holder

    Currently my phone holder is in "landscape" position. The problem is that the 3D (or birdview) paramertes are same with the portrait position, so the area front of the car is smaller ( I can see only few km forward)
    If I navigate and I get a warning (eg. traffipax) half of the screen is covered... so my "foresight" is more reduced
    I have 2 suggestions:
    - "adjustable" (or auto) birdview-sight angle/height: if there are 20km "foresight" in portrait position, let the same distance in landscape position
    - navigation and warning "bars" let the same size in every position... and…

  11. Add Go Later option for saved destinations

    If I search for a new destination I then get the option to Go Later so I can know the best time to leave. However if I click on a favourite or saved location the Go Later option does not appear - the only option is to Start.

  12. Client Suggestion: Voice Recognition

    I was driving from Las Vegas, NV to Fullerton, CA this past weekend. During the trip, I had a few hours to think of what client upgrades could be implemented into WAZE. Specifically, as the title of this thread suggests, I thought about Voice Recognition. This came about as I sent a report, but was unable to type a comment, thanks to texting and driving dangers.

    Here is what I was thinking:
    Voice Recognition would always be active while WAZE is active. Instead of pushing a button to activate Waze, what if a keyword was programmed to start the functionality.…

  14. Ghost, or Soap. Call Of Duty Roadmap Voice

    I think Waze developer should add Call Of Duty Voice for the direction map. Character such as Ghost, Soap, or Price. They are pretty iconic.

  16. Make Traffic Slowdowns More Visible when using Directions

    Invert the color scheme when using directions so the purple stripe is not overshadowing traffic red/yellow/orange. Example: https://twitter.com/steviecoolest/status/723576075452841985

  17. Hi! Just my 2 cents, whenever I share my drive with someone, my Waze turned light green for the directions I’m supposed to follow.

    When I’m sharing my drive to someone please make direction colour & the other roads to be different colour so I can see the directions more clearly. Right now it’s light green for the directions & the other roads are darker green. Difficult to differentiate it.

  18. Add a traffic bar to map

    Have a "Traffic Bar" that appear in the routes screen overlayed on the main map.
    add a car to the bar that moves along with your journeys completion.
    So when you are 85 percent home, the car has moved 85 percent up the bar.

    Also when the Bar-Car (Maybe we should think of a better name) gets near an event an audible alert gets triggered, like when you near a Cop it could say “Oh cock, its the Rozzers!” Or just “Police reported ahead”) Or when you are near a obstacle on road you could be warned – e.g. “Johnny…

  19. Alarm notification on new version available, OTA download on BB (optional)

    It would be interesting to check when you start the application, if a new version. On Blackberry devices, could have a link to download OTA or AppWorld

  20. Less talking for directions

    No app has it but I would like less talking during navigation and an option to leave the screen off when announcing directions. I ride a motorcycle a lot and any way to save phone power the better but it would be nice if maybe 10 feet before turn or exit it announced it once without turning on screen and draining battery and constantly repeating the same direction in annoying detail. Just once take exit whatever west or East or right or left once. Not an ongoing detail if how to turn out gettin the right lane.
