Waze Weather
Waze should have a weather integration where you can see local radar on the map as you drive (able to toggle it on/off). It would allow for real time weather and traffic updates.

Average speed camera in IRAN
Hello waze
Recently in IRAN roads, many average speed traps are installed.
As you kbow these cameras catch not only the momentum speed but also catch the average speed between 2 cameras and in the whole road.
As you know they use SPECS (SPEed Check Services) system that use number plate recognition to measure the time taken between two fixed points to monitor a driver's average speed.
We, your greatfull application users in IRAN,
ask for activating average speed alarm in map and also in editor erea so the editors can edit and adjust it.Keep drive safely
Thank you20 votesThank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already takes license plate restrictions into account, in many parts of the world. To enable this feature, add your license plate details under Settings > Car details > License plate.

The option to lock the use of your keyboard during the trip for Safer driving; Insurance Discounts and Gas Station Points
The option to lock your keyboard will allow you to drive without distraction and benefit with multilateral partnerships. If Waze can partner with Insurance companies or Chain gas stations the Wazer who selects the "Drive Mode" would gain points to either of the above for safe driving or gas discounts (two examples). The benefit would be to surrounding drivers and the Wazer themselves as they are earning a reward. We live in a "Points" game world and as Waze already gives you points these would be much more attractive as they will be able to be redeemable.

Better iPad interface.
The iPad interface is a bit cumbersome to use while driving. I find many of the buttons are too small. I have my iPad docked in a RAM mount next to the stick shift, so its right next to my shift hand.
Different screens appear in different sizes (like the event selection screen is cut in half when reporting a hazard or similar).
Also, display of speed and similar information in the lower right should be larger, much like the turn-by-turn directions in the lower left.
I would also appreciate any prompt buttons to be larger. If the buttons could…11 votes -
I'd like to move the car icon out of the middle of the map in order to see more of the upcoming route and less of what's already passed
I'd like to move the car icon out of the middle of the map in order to see more of the upcoming route and less of what's already passed. Specially when using Navigation since it the ETA status window takes up a reasonable portion of the screen. For instance: if I'm driving southeast my car icon should be displayed in the upper left hand corner (when using True North mode) but the same applies when in the relative mode. Thanks

Pin drop report function
EVERY time I have seen a cop I haven't used the Report feature because I'm a mile away by the time I report. Then the report is inaccurate and useless for everyone else.
Make it so I can drive by the cop and then pull out my phone and place a pin on the location wjere the report should actually be. I understand your worried about people abusing and reporting thing across town so then only allow someone to report and pin drop something within 1/5mile?21 votes -
Ability to disable features
Give users ability to disable/opt-out of CarPool. I drive for work, and cannot have passengers, but frequently have navigation blocked by the "Carpool" screen when adjusting my phone in the holder / accidental contact with right side of screen.

Please add bus lanes operational hours for London sometimes as anytime or with poor design by local authorities to trap drivers
Dear Sirs,
Please add bus lanes operational hours for London, sometimes they are set as any time or with poor design by local authorities to trap drivers and be served with contravention.No pre-warning, no standard design with decent ergonomically signs to serve the day driving and night driving.Would be a great assistance to get warned before bus lane and flagged all along of the bus lane so drivers can drive adequately or pull out of bus lane if missed to change the lane.
Best wishes,

Allow us (the users) to turn off &/or permanently disable "Drive with The Fraggles"
Every day I say "No thanks" to that fraggles thing but it continues to reappear. Please allow us users to turn off that cutesy crap. I'm not a teenager, I'm an adult and do not want this feature and never will. It takes us precious screen space and is absolutely of no use to me...and probably most adults. I appreciate others may want it, so I understand showing these things, but they should be able to be disabled so those of us that don't want to see it aren't forced to. Please let us be able to make that choice.…

Indicate best lane on upcoming turns with multiple left or right lanes
I find myself still using google maps while driving in the city, because it gets tricky when for example, a right turn needs to be made quickly after a left turn, and there are two left lanes. Google maps indicates that the right left lane is the correct lane. I love everything else about waze and if this one feature was added, I would use it at all time and cut out maps completely!
13 votesGreat news! The Lanes feature is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Hide bottom toolbar on iPhone
The toolbar on the bottom (drive to, report etc.) should be hidden when in navigation mode to help use up the entire iPhone screen. On screen tap the toolbar can pop back up to access these tools. I just don't think the iPhone screen is large enough to keep that toolbar there at all times. Maybe a setting could enable this auto-hide feature while some people may like it to be shown all the time.

Display alternative ETA's at junctions
When I'm driving towards an intersection junction along my route with several route alternatives, I would like a feature that displays hor much longer those alternative route choices are.
Why?
1) My commute has several alternative route choices that differ in meters and seconds.2) The first Waze default route choice is not always best.
3) Sometimes I can plan my route better than Waze, and don't always choose the Waze route.
4) Sometimes I prefer some variety in my daily commute.
5) Sometimes I want to choose a different route just so I can see something different.

Use smart-band's vibrator to notify a danger zone
Because I'm a motorcycle pilot, I need to be more focus on the road than any other vehicules.
I just got a Xiaomi Mi Band which is a BLE health tracker.
This BLE smart-band contains a vibrator and has libraries available for iOS and Android to communicate with (eg. vibration control).It would be just AWESOME if my smart-band could vibrate when I enter a danger zone. Like that I would not have to always take a risk by looking down on my phone while driving.
A pattern could be defined for the vibrations. Like 3 vibrations = entering a…

Automatic Paving
Why doesn't paving come on automatically when driving along an unmapped route? This would make it safer than having to stop then follow all the steps to start paving etc
