Improve address suggestion
When I try to enter an address by the name of a street, a suggestion pops up, but when I press the arrow on the right side, it only copies the name of the city to the searchbar. So in the end i will have to write the complete address to the searchbar, including the house number.

When a warning appears, show a shrinking progress bar (regress bar, closing-in bar?)
When a warning appears (hazard, police, vehicle on shoulder, traffic), show a shrinking progress bar (regress bar, closing in bar?), perhaps with distance number also. The current tiny numbers are hard to read, require too much attention, and give no feel for the approach rate. Waze assumes perfect close and medium vision too often. If there are several: unclear, but I suppose focus on nearest.

Notify conditions between home and work
Send a notification of a significant event that has occurred between home and work whilst the app is not in use. This feature is enabled only when either at work or home and is configured to only scan for issues between home and work when at home, vice versa.
For instance, if I am at work and a major accident has happened on my usual route, I want to know about it before I set off so I have options other than just finding an alternative route. The notification could state something along the lines of "[incident type] reported on [date/time] at [location]. Estimated time [home/work] is now [time] based on best alternative route". The alternative route will be calculated using standard waze rerouting and will provide an update every 15 minutes whilst the standard route between home/work is calculated to take 1.33 times longer than average.

Moving map position
A suggestion for the moving map display: would be nice to have the position of your own icon weighted towards the edge of the map where you have been. This would show more of the route you are yet to travel.

Be able to add friends, send messages and report (accidents, police, etc.) from the computer version
My husband is a truck driver. The weather is bad and we are both on Waze. I can't follow him unless I'm on my lap top. I can see other Waze users around him. Somebody sent a message to him asking how the roads were if they were clear, etc. He obviously cannot type or send a message. It would be GREAT if I could click to add the user that asked him a question or just send a message to her answering her question. AND he just witness a wreck. Road conditions are bad so I want to click his icon or the road he is on and report it so he can concentrate on driving.

Mojio OBD cellular GPS
There is a new device called Mojio www.moj.io on the market. It's an obd reader with a GPS and a cellular module. They have an SKD and API and I think it could be cool to include this in waze. Few things it could do with waze.
For trip that you forget to open waze it could automaticly use the mojio gps and this way get trafic information for others.
You could always know where your car is parked in waze.
Waze could notify you after a trip if you forget to lock doors.
Waze could give you info about engine trouble light.
Waze could know when you need to fill up gas and find a cheap on on your route.
and much more.
This device work in Usa and Canada. No roaming fees in both country. First year service is free then 7$ per month.
I'm waiting for mine to be delivered. I love waze and would love to see what waze could do with this.
Thank's

Report "Good" road conditions
When I report "bad" road conditions, it helps drivers around me avoid an area. Sometimes, when I reach an area that is reported as "bad" it turns out to actually be less congested or jammed up than reported earlier.
It would be very beneficial to everyone using the app if we could report when a road has good conditions. This would meet the goal of providing real time map updates that benefit everyone looking to see what route is best for them based on the conditions.

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.
