Display current location GPS Coordinates and share them with friends
when it comes to navigation gps coordinates play an important role as it pin points the location you want other's to know if all else fails, like street names and landmark. Everything will change but not gps coordinates

How about moving the "add friends" icon so that it doesn't cover the speedometer display?
Either move the add friends icon to another part of the display, or make it an option to shut it off. Covering the speedometer makes it totally useless.

Follow friend.
Sometimes share one trip more cars (users). For example Business trip or holiday etc. it means two or more cars with the same destination. One of them knows WHERE to go (where is destination) and the others follow him. One car is the leader. In this case could be very useful to add feature called "Follow friend". In MENU where are Friends, add this feature (click on name of leading user and choose "Follow friend") and when the leading user accepts the request, he becomes as a "Moving destination" for user (users) who asked him. The other use of…

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 -

add friend by username
I would like to add friends by their waze username. As a long time adapter of waze, I always found it odd that I couldn't add friends by username. WIth social media being so open, there are still users who feel waze does not need to know their phone number and shares the drive just fine through email and text messages. It is unfair to only allow people to connect by giving up personal information or using social media. A person's location is private information and should be allowed a more private way to share it if needed.

Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Take a trip with friends/follow me function
Problem: when my friends and I take a trip with more than 1 car, it is difficult to keep both cars on the same route and with the same stops.
Potential solution: the abality to send a link that would sync up our drives to be able to see where they are on the route in real time. If the future route changes, the device that did not initiate the change would be able to accept the change. If either car gets off the shared route, a notification would be sent to both users and the user who is behind…

Add "Show Friend Wazers Only" Option
Perhaps you can consider adding the ability in settings to not just show/hide all Wazers but add a third option to "show friend wazers only", too. Be great to have this so when caravanning you're still able to see your friends without seeing all wazers which can sometimes clutter the map. Thanks.
68 votesGreat news! The feature of showing Wazer friend only is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Share the best way to come to your place with your waze friends
You want your friends to join you, and there's a specific way you want to point. That would be great to suggest a route to you (not to a meeting point) and specify the route (using waypoints)

Allow the ability to add and see friends on the map. This would be perfect for car cruises, since we are utilizing other apps to do this
I go on a lot of car cruises and we use other third-party apps in order to see our friends live on the map. These apps are very limited and don't offer the display of police speed traps like Waze does, so it would be perfect if we could see our friends on Waze to create a safer cruising experience

The WP app needs to be updated. Make functional: additional voices, Facebook/friends feature, landscape view.
The app is great on other devices, but is in need of refinement on WP 8.1. The app does not properly download additional guidance voices (on Terry Crews it stayed at 0 percent for weeks), the social/friends link just goes back to the main Waze screen, the app is locked in vertical position--which is not optimal; and the gas feature (including reporting) doesn't work at all. Ideally, this app should mirror the other devices in terms of functionality--it would be heads and shoulders above the default "Here" app.

allow navigation voice to interrupt call
some people want this disabled, but i rely on navigation instructions in unknown areas.
i prefer waze voice amidst my phone call rather than fly by my exit while someone jabbers on my Bluetooth speakerphone
make it a toggle option to please both camps
and xmpp text those in my non "social" media friends (i have real friends)
allow audio blurbs to interrupt also (jingle)
47 votesThank you for your suggestion. This option is available under Settings > Voice & sound > Mute during calls.

Why not a badge on the app icon that would indicate when any of my Friends are on the road?
The idea here is that it would reinforce the notion of Community that's explicit in the app. Would love to know when friends and family are driving, to send them good vibes, to be aware.

Use the device built-in address book for navigating
Your phones address book probably contains many addresses of all your friends. Waze should be able to navigate to addresses from your contacts directly.
