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.

Please bring the reports around me back!
There are many many clients who use Waze not for navigation but for looking what is happening around me. As this feature is now gone, I do not see any value of Waze...

Remove "Good Morning" and replace it with the street name you're driving on
What's the point of wasting the whole bottom of the screen with goodmorning. Instead show the street name you're driving on. Especially important with emerging technology. I have a GPS rearview mirror which I'd like to leave on (NOT in navigation mode since i'm not navigating most of the time but just driving) Now if the bottom of the screen then I can follow written instructions someone wrote me on a paper and I can confirm it matches the street I'm driving on .

Allow reporting of gas prices along recent trips
It would be nice to be able to update gas prices that are close to a recent route, not just for stations that are within 0.3mi of your location.

Outdated Waze map design -> Chances for a redesign?
The Waze map design is now quite outdated and seems very retro, out of date. There are no 3D buildings, poor resolution on large car screens, etc.
Will there ever be a redesign of the Waze map, see e.g. Google Maps 3D buildings in navigation.

Track my car's vitals; build database for community benefits
This is a big idea, no small undertaking I know. I'd like to combine my GPS app with the functionality of an app like Gas Cubby, which tracks my MPG at every fill-up and alerts me when my car is due for maintenance.
Here's how I envision it:
-I tell Waze what car I drive: ex: 2003 Saturn Vue, 6 cyl, automatic
-Every time I stop to fill up, I tell Was
a) What my current odometer reads (waze should know how many miles I've driven in theory, but this is a checksum validation in case I forgot to open…4 votes -
Risk classification system by areas
Risk classification system by areas:
Some countries like mine (Peru) have several areas which are either dangerous or ugly to go through. Since Waze algorithm is set to always find the best route regarding the traffic and shortest ways to minimze the time, sometimes it includes these kind of undesireble zones and and it can be really annoying or even scary.
Therefore, I suggest to implement a security location system based on the split and categorization of how safe or risky is each area.
At first, it's going to be necessary to make an initial investigation about the safety of…

Control audio warnings as a user option
In the audio, there are only 3 options. Please add a 4th option as a " user option" There you can not only set the type of warning, but also control the amount of " before exit/turn " warnings. Today, you either have all of them ( 3 ) or nothing. I would like to have for example only 1 waning for exit + Police + speed camera and nothing else. Anyone can chose and set his own preferences on the audio notification.

Antecipar o alerta de "polícia reportada a frente"
Atualmente o alerta de "polícia reportada a frente" acontece quando está a 500m do ponto em questão. Deveria ser mantido este alerta e acrescentado outro alerta a 3km antes dos pontos em questão, mesmo que esteja abaixo da velocidade permitida. Isto porque quando o radar me avisou ja tinha sido multado por velocidade. Assim não funciona!

Add a new german TTS voice
Currently there is only one german TTS voice. A new german TTS voice or the option to use 3rd party TTS voices like Siri or Google TTS would be nice.

Map
It is too hard to see the traffic delays, speed of the tragic on particular roads, what kind of hazard is being reported. The map before this was very user friendly and it was super easy to glance at the map and decide which areas/roads to avoid. Now I have to really analyze the map and bring the map into zoom so much that the road names are no longer listed. I now check the other apps to glance over the traffic and rely less on Waze

Indication of clear route ahead (compared to normal traffic)
Where I live, there aren't that many Wazers. So often, heavy traffic on a stretch of road is not reported simply because no Wazer has been there yet (despite it being a busy main road).
Regularly I will detour around junctions because usually there is congestion, sometimes reported on Waze, sometimes not, it ends up being a gamble to detour or not.
However sometimes (and it seems randomly), there is no congestion. On the Waze client, the road is shown as clear, but like I said above, that often means no Wazer has been there yet to report traffic, so…

Fix the 3 finger, while driving hazard reporting!
I used to LOVE Waze. Now I pretty much hate it. You need to bring back the ability to report issues and hazards while people are actively driving. I loved that I used to be able to press the screen with three fingers and say "hazard." Then the map voice would ask ' what type of hazard; on road or on shoulder or done.' It was amazing, I could report anything easily while still safely driving; the the map voice would give choices for what to report and actually send a real report. Now the only way I can report…

Say what alert is for
When there is a pothole, accident or some other alert, these days we just hear a ding. It does not say what the alert is for, you have to look at the screen to see. Rather say "Pothole ahead" etc. The ding sound is the exact same sound my car makes for low fuel. It is extremely annoying to hear the ding every now and again. It also dims the radio/music for a while. Pleas rather just say what the alert is for using your words.

Choose time of reports before calculates the route
The ability to choose what old time has to be a report to be considered in my route. For example, if anyone has reported that last hour was traffic on a road, it is not said that there is even now, indeed probably there is not traffic now and so it is not necessary to calculate an alternate route. So it would be useful to have a possibility to set a parameter that filters on what must be a recent report so to be considered eg. in the last 30 minutes, in the last 15 minutes.

Report two different things with one event report
Example of what I mean: Last week I reported an accident on the highway, but because I moved while reporting it I could not also report an object on the road, what has happen is, a car crashed on the light post and it then ended up on the highway's right lane.

Allow update of gas prices to 3 decimals
It is a mistake to assume that all gas prices end in 9/10. Gas in Canada is sold not in dollars, but in cents. For example, gas may be listed at 124.9. Wazers can correctly update it to 1.249. But if that price is 125.0, the closest it can be updated to is 124.9. Another Wazer may see that as incorrect and change it to 125.9 It is not at all uncommon to find gas with prices ending in .4, .5, even .0.
I have witnessed long lineups at competing pumps where one station is charging 3/10 of a cent…2 votes -
Instant directions
An option to just go for the first results on search without any confirmation. As instantaneous as its machinely possible.
I just love the experience of telling "ok google, take me to XYZ place" and get directoins within 3 seconds. This is what it should feel like driving in 2017.
