Sharing Routes With Friends
The sharing tool from Whatsapp is not so accurate, so it would be very nice to have something to like that but functional. The main idea is an option that you could save the actual route that you're running and export this to your friends, it would be very useful for trips to countryside and rural areas.And in urban areas sometimes you may not want the shorter or the faster way but the safer way. - general

Less popups when starting a navigation
When starting a navigation, a pop up ask if I want to share my ride. That's not that annoying but I would like an option to disable it.
Im often starting a navigation from other apps, when the navigation is received by waze, it shows a first screen where I need to press on "received location". I click on it and then a second pop up telling me to share. And this is when waze dont pop to ask if I am a passenger. It sometime necessitie 3 press to start a drive. Google maps does it in 0 press when receiving a location by another app. Why asking me to press on received location, if you received it.. you know im going there.
Maybe it's not annoying for the regular driver but as im using the function sometimes 20 times in an evening, it is. Add some settings please.

Adding Smash and Grab to the report page
Please add "Smash and Grab" to the report page. We have a lot of this in South Africa. Perpetrators smash the passenger side windows and steal things from cars when people are stuck in peak hour traffic. there was an incident like this today and I could not report it

Allow the "Stacking" of alerts on the display
As an example, you are driving along and an alert for the police ahead pops up. You continue on but before you reach the place where the police are supposed to be where you can confirm the presence or advise them not present another alert of some other kind pops up. Now you cannot comment on the first alert. The alerts should stack so the closest one is displayed at the top of the stack

Add "virtual friends" with his nickname
Sometimes we meet cool people on the waze forum but we prefer not to exchange Facebook account, phone numbers.
It would be cool to add them to share bip bip, message, classification and to compete with.
With the last upgraded there was phone numbers, Facebook account but I think there is a lack of that!4 votes -
It would be great if Waze had an ODB2 link
It would be great if Waze had an ODB2 link so that you could track fuel economy, see if you have enough fuel for your journey, warn you when fuel was getting low, and suggest navigation to the nearest cheapest fuel station. Bluetooth ODB2 interfaces are cheap and it is an internationally standard protocol which is easy to read the data from. You could do so much with this.

Distance by blocks or exits
Instead of by feet, notify turn distance by number of blocks or exits. This makes more sense to a human driver.

Slow, buggy speech when using Bluetooth/Hands Free
Waze's speech while using bluetooth is filled with long awkward pauses. Often, the speech is unable to complete saying the direction before the next speech event needs to occur. The pauses between speech events are excessively long. This problem only manifests itself when connected to bluetooth audio.
Additionally, the speech is routed through "media player audio" instead of a voice command specific audio event. This means that the vehicle itself must be set to bluetooth audio music streaming rather than listening to the radio. Since the events turn on/off, the bluetooth media option is often unavailable and cannot be activated.

Taxi meter
I would be happy if you can integrate in your application one ficher of a taxi meter. You have the date time and distance only thing you need to add is the beginning of the meter by the country and Day & Night. I use taxis a lot, and I would love to know what the price of the trip before I go in a taxi, especially abroad.
Thanks

Register your intended event at the location in which you first pressed the button, not the location you are at when you finally hit submit.
When I begin to register a comment such as a pothole in the road, or a problem with an intersection, the location is stored when I hit submit, rather than the location where I was at the time where I began to register the comment. My suggestion is to freeze the location until you hit submit.

Waze shouldn't remove the old route while it is recalculating a new one
Sometimes, when I'm driving and using Waze, it identifies me in another street (crossroads, frequently). With that, it starts a new route, show me the RECALCULATING animation and remove the old route.
The problem is: if the place that it happens, it doesn't have internet connection, I run out the last route and the new one.
The perfect way, in this case, would be if Waze removes the old route ONLY AFTER get the new one.
Thanks.4 votes -
add option to disable traffic based routing
When routing, waze often attempts to route around traffic. Waze is used occasionally for just the first part of a journey (navigating a downtown area, for example) and I find it selecting a completely different route every time I use it because it attempts to route around the traffic at work.
Another example is that during extremely heavy traffic in a snowstorm, waze had me exiting at every freeway exit and then entering the freeway again, simply because the freeway exits had little traffic on them compared to the freeway itself.
Because of this, there should be a simpler routing option in waze that completely disregards traffic and only routes based on a simple, repeatable path to a destination.
Furthermore, this path should only include posted speed limits, and should route a path regardless of if it is the opposite direction from the destination.
Often, there are simpler/better ways to get to a central location if you "overshoot" and then backtrack (given the US road system).

Externalize performance parameters as configuration.
Living in a tropical country, driving with my phone under the windshield of my car, for an hour or so, at 35°C, my phone gets so hot it could burn a hole through my pocket. (My phone is a Motorola RAZR i)
I think Waze has a high demand for memory and processing power, to be as responsive as it is.I am guessing that Waze has a lot of automatic tasks that run "every x seconds" to update the road reports, ETA, friends list, reports for you to thumbs up and so on.
I think Waze could make that more configurable:
- Turn ON/OFF friends list.
- Set ETA calculation interval [1] second.
- Set reports refresh interval [1] second.
- ...This way, people could have a "minimal" Waze version to get by on hot environments, and a full feature version when they turn on their car's AC. =)

Remove the 9/10th for gas prices
You can't change it and it just makes reading the actual price harder.
For example, this is a lot harder to compare and update:
3.199 3.299 3.399than this:
3.19 3.29 3.39At the very least, de-emphasize the fractional "9" by pulling it out of the edit box and/or making the text color light gray.
