Improved Screen Layout on Larger Screens
Dear Waze,
First, let me complement you on a great product. I use it almost daily.
More importantly, you got a more meaningful compliment from Google on your great job.As a user of your product, please allow me some user feedback which I would hope you may implement in your product.
Until now, I used Waze on different mobile phones.
Recently I purchased a new car with a 7'' screen.
After having used it, please allow me some customer feedback and suggestions for implementation relating to the way you display information on larger screens.Seems to me that you do not make and use of the heavy increased real estate (size of screen) you have at your disposal in most in-car display systems with 7-9'' screens.
At the top of the screen is a black bar which is utilized by the car manufacturer for different displays such as WiFi icons etc. and the time.
This space is not available for Waze. No worries.However, the remaining space is not well used at all.
Below the black car bar not utilizable by Waze you put another black bar with your direction arrow (<-), distance (120m) and road name (461 מערב).
But most of the black bar is unused and just wastes the heights of your map display.
But worse than that, the size of your icons is exactly the same small size as on much smaller mobile phone displays, thus making it difficult to read the information at a glimpse (while driving).
See Figure 1.Original
Figure 1: Original Display
I therefore suggest a different organization of the screen as shown in Figure 2.
The main screen should be divided approximately 1/3, 2/3.
The right part with the 2/3 display should be with your Moving Map and the centered arrow showing the present location.
Please note that in the present layout, the map display is wider. However since anyway the present location is always centered on the display, there is no benefit in the a little wider map display.
The left part with the 1/3 display should be the re-arranged Info Window.
The bottom bar with the Time to arrival (32min), EAT – Estimated Arrival Time (18:04), Distance to destination (14km) should remain as is.Division of Screen Display
Figure 2: New division of Screen Display
Please refer to Figure 3.
The Info Window should include (from top to bottom, left to right):
Significantly increased size indicator of upcoming turn (Left/Right Arrow) etc.
Significantly increased size Street Name and Street Number.
Indicator of upcoming turn (to allow selection of appropriate lane after the immediately upcoming turn). [NEW]
Soft button () to select the Overview on the Map, displaying the complete trip from start to destination with present location (˄). [NEW]
Speed indicator (as in your regular display).Division of Screen Display and Indicators
Figure 3: Division of Screen Display and Indicators
Following (Figure 4) please find a very rough sketch of the suggested Display (based on your actual screen).
Please compare to the original screen display above (Figure 1).Suggested Display Layout
Figure 4: New Layout of Screen and Indicators
May I suggest you forward this mail and suggestion to the appropriate member in your Management / R&D / Product Manager / User Interface Design / Usability Study.
I hope you will find this suggestion useful to improve your great product.
I am at your disposal for any clarification you might wish for and would be pleased to hear from you on the follow-up on this matter.
Best regards.

WAZE navigation system could be adapted to the nation's railroad netword where it could become a new-technology Positive Train Control.
Railroad Safety: a Ten Billion Dollar Boondoggle
Carl E. Nash, Ph.D.
Derailments and collisions between trains are spectacular. Their economic and environmental consequences are considerable and they kill and injure people. In response, over the past forty years, pressed by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and Congress the railroads have been implementing Positive Train Control (PTC) systems to reduce the potential for these crashes.
Actually, U.S. railroads are quite safe for passengers. An average of only 5 people die in train crashes each year: slightly more than are killed in motor vehicle crashes in an hour. The number of serious injuries among train occupants is similarly low. On the other hand, nearly 700 “trespassers” die annually after being struck by trains while on or near railroad tracks and about 100 more are killed in vehicles struck by trains at grade crossings. These casualties are a consequence of two challenges: trains cannot be stopped quickly and it is difficult to keep people away from railroad tracks. PTC will do nothing for those struck by moving trains.
The nation’s railroads and the FRA have spent about $10 billion on a variety of PTC systems and will apparently spend a few billion more to complete them. According to the FRA: “PTC systems are integrated command, control, communications, and information systems designed to prevent train accidents by controlling train movements with safety, security, precision, and efficiency.”
Railroad transportation in the U.S. matured a century ago. Train dispatch, safety, maintenance, and such were mostly developed in the 20th century. More recent technologies are mostly used to provide an electronic substitute or enhancement of what had been done by hand. Modern communications are generally used as a substitute for the telegraph or telephones. It is an important, but hoary industry in desperate need of a 21st Century overhaul.
Road users have the advantage of well-developed, real time, satellite-based navigation systems. There is no such unified system for railroads. Instead, the railroads are wasting their and the government’s money on ten duplicative, but not particularly compatible PTC systems that require very large numbers of expensive, high maintenance, and probably unreliable trackside sensors to monitor the position and speed of train sets. Since railroads regularly use each other’s’ tracks, this duplication is bizarre. Implementation of PTC has been delayed for years, at least in part because of the cost to complete it.
The WAZE/Google navigation system provides not only information on where roads go, which can be used for trip planning, it also monitors traffic to show what the most rapid route is likely to be. It does this by monitoring, through satellite communications, the behavior of vehicles using this navigation system to determine areas of road congestion or other problems.
Adapting this system to railroads would be relatively easy. WAZE/Google could substitute a map of the rail network for the road network and show the appropriate speed limit on all stretches of track as well as switch positions. This would be used to warn engineers if they are operating in a dangerous manner. In the event that an engineer ignores this warning, the receiver in the locomotive could automatically apply the train’s brakes.
As with the highway system the positions and speeds all locomotives using the system, as determined using GPS, along with the positions of all switches in the system and the location of maintenance operations, could be sent through satellite to a central control where it would be monitored to determine the potential collision between trains.
There are roughly 27,000 locomotives, some thousands of additional train sets not pulled by locomotives, and 140,000 miles of track in the United States. The cost of installing equipment to send and receive signals, for navigation, and for computer-based automatic braking would be less than $5,000 per locomotive and per switch for a total less than three hundred million dollars. (The cost of a real-time navigation system, along with automatic braking is less than $1000 per motor vehicle.) Software for adapting the highway navigation system to PTC and establishing a central control to warn of collisions would cost less than $100 million. Thus, an estimate of well under a billion dollars for all of the PTC hardware and software to implement a new, navigation-based PTC system seems reasonable. This is considerably less than the cost of completing the current PTC systems and could be paid by a consortium of railroads. If the will were there, it should not take more than about a year to implement this new system.
A modern PTC could also become a basis for a more modern approach to railroad scheduling and management that could reduce costs and ensure more efficient use of the rail network. It could replace the current, antiquated, inefficient block system for regulating the use of rails. Because of industry competition and anti-trust considerations, it may require Congressional action to force national cooperation in establishing a unified 21st Century PTC system.
The current approach to railroad safety is out of date and makes little sense. It lacks a rational connection with the reality of how most people are killed and injured in connection with railroads and the availability of effective technology. It results in ridiculous spending on what, at least in terms of human losses, is a relatively minor problem.
PTC based on the technologies used for road navigation could substantially reduce human, equipment, and other losses from collisions and derailments. These savings would be sufficient to pay for the 21st century system based on the Google navigation system. It would also be an excellent business opportunity for WAZE/Google. The fact that billions have already been invested in PTC is irrelevant to the question of how the railroads should proceed with PTC. It must abandon the current wasteful development and start with a fresh approach as outlined herein.

Once car stops very near location, turn off map and STOP giving voice directions. Obviously I've arrived already!
I arrive to my work building's parking lot and then park my car. Waze doesn't get the hint that I've arrived and the map is still on. It's obvious I arrived and waze needs to stop. I can't tell you how many times I've been embarrassed by waze in the office when I'm trying to sneak into my desk and think I've made a clean entry and Waze randomly goes: IN 100 FEET TURN LEFT ON.... Seriously? 5 minutes after I parked!?!? Stfu Waze goddamit!

Información en pantalla ante accidentes
Cuando se presione el auto en la pantalla, se despliegue un cuadro de información con:
1) calle/numero/localidad.
2) comisaria (estación de policía) mas cercana (con la posibilidad de
seleccionarlo como destino).
3) hospital mas cercano (con la posibilidad de seleccionarlo como
destino).Eso seria muy útil en caso de accidente y es similar a lo que hace el software de Garmin.
Muchas gracias.3 votes -
Removing (or adding a warning to) Restaurants in Military Bases
During a road trip in California a few weeks back, I was driving on CA route 1 and searched for restaurants near my location. A cafe called “Flightline Café” appeared first on the list, and I started the Waze navigation. As it turned out, Flightline Café was actually a military establishment located on an US military base, which the security guard politely informed me when I pulled up to the gate. Luckily, the guard was understanding enough of my situation to let me off with a warning and point me to another restaurant a short distance away. Of course, this encounter was partly my mistake, as there were several signs in front of the military base informing me that I was entering government property. For the sake of other Waze users, however, I would suggest removing this restaurant completely from the database, or at least including a warning.

Proposer l'arrivée à proximité et de l'autre côté de la rue
Il semble qu'actuellement Waze nous guide jusqu'à l'adresse indiquée, y compris du bon côté de la rue. (Par exemple il va nous guider jusqu'au 15 de la rue même si on aurait pu aller au 16 qui est en face en parcourant 1 km de moins).
Si on ne peut pas faire demi tour dans cette rue, le parcourt suggéré par Waze est parfois allongé inutilement car il veut absolument nous faire arriver du bon côté de la rue. Il faudrait ajouter une option pour que Waze nous guide 'a proximité', avec une distance règlable (ex : 200m) et Waze nous emmènerait là où il y a des chances de pouvoir se garer à proximité du point choisi et là où c'est le plus rapide d'aller.Il semble qu'actuellement Waze nous guide jusqu'à l'adresse indiquée, y compris du bon côté de la rue.

Airport interactive app
Love your map. And Im great at telling other people what to do. Most people panic about how early to get to an airport. What about an interactive app for people to report how busy the airport is. Each terminal, each airline. Lines long or short? Long term parking at x is wide open. Come in from thw east cuz west is backed up. I know you get the idea. Do me a favor and start with Sky Harbor.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren. Im NAVIS sollten auch Verkehrsbeschränkungen in den Ortschaften eingetragen sein, z.B. max. 2.0 breit.
In den Ortschaften sollten Verkehrsbeschränkungen wie max. Gewicht, maximale Höhe, Breite usw. auch im NAVIS hinterlegt sein, damit man nicht falsch geleitet wird. Dies ist z.B. bei Notfällen sehr wichtig, damit die Krankenwagen nicht in zu enge Strassen geleitet werden. Wo kann man solche "Engpässe" melden, damit das NAVIS diese kennt?

signalement police
bonjour, nous sommes beaucoup a nous apercevoirent qu'il y a un abus de ce signalement, au lieu de confirmer le premier signalement ils rajoutent un autre signalement cela fait beuguer la voix du gps et en plus si l'application marche en arriere plan, le signalement est inutile car on vous previent 500 metres avant, sur autoroutes a 130 km/h il faut quelques secondes.... et en general l'auteur du signalement peut l'avoir signaler une fois l'avoir depasser donc dans tout les cas il est inutile... l'application serait bien mieux en modifiant la distance d'au moins 2 km ou de la supprimer avec aussi radar fixe, feu rouge etc... et de creer simplement le signalement d'une zone de danger permanent et temporaire en rajoutant dans la petite jauge qui apparait une icone là où le signalement a ete declare, merci d'avance.
