Development on increasing safety and careful driving
I propose a development that I believe will make drivers drive more carefully and thoughtfully. The way to do this is by displaying written and voice messages as well as displaying images. For example, when the driver increases the speed beyond the speed limit, he is shown a picture of his loved ones (parents, spouses, children, pets, etc.) accompanied by a message they convey to the driver in their voice (for example, the voice of a boy or girl, the barking of a dog or the meowing of a cat, etc.) A message such as: "You are…

Fix the bug that checks me into foursquare. Sometimes my Facebook friends show up & most of the time it wants me to spread the word.
Give foursquare it's own button again. It was much easier to check in to locations without having to go through Facebook.

Snow removal equipment
I was in Maryland during the recent blizzard. I was able to make the return drive to Pittsburgh on Monday. The roads where clear, however road crews were doing snow removal on the shoulders, left and right. I found during my drive the crews were often on turns and had I had no warning to be able to change lanes for safe distance.
That's when I thought of a SNOW PLOW notification. It would include a left or right choice and on road or shoulder choice. Moving or stationary would be a choice too, but might be a bit much…

Localized Highway Shields (State & County Routes, etc)
In the U.S., each state has its own highway route number shield. Some states, like West Virginia, also have county route shields that differ from the state route shields. In Pennsylvania, a route like Route 28 would show the Keystone with a 28 on top of it.
A lot of effort is taken in WME to ensure the road names and turn-by-turn instructions match signage. Drivers would benefit by having the same highway shields in their Waze app as they will see on the highway signage as they drive.
Apple has already included this in Apple Maps. It…

Show distance covered and time passed while driving
It would be great if waze can display the time passed and the distance i covered in km or miles since i started driving when my app is running. This can be optional and the distance covered display can be turned on and off using settings.

Electrical Map in Puerto Rico will attract millions users
Adding and Electrical Map, will give Waze a millions of users!
Since Hurricane Maria, hundreds of roads and bridges where destroyed, signs that does not exist anymore, and roads with a mile of holes. Lately it is so dificult to drive on some roads. Specially those without electricuty jet, 7 month later of hurricane Maria.
Letting people tag place without electricity, not only give the driver the alert, but will atract a thousand, even million ppl in the island, to repport their house or street.
Also with a so worldwide use app, will make pressure on local agencies to…7 votesAdminElla (Waze Team) (Admin, Waze) responded

Allow people to upload their own Waze profile picture (like their car) to get easily identified while driving...
Hi people. Please forgive me for my average English, I'm a French Waze user...
At the moment, the only way to display a picture when clicking on a Wazer is to link your Facebook account with your Waze client.
I guess that a lot of people (like me) don't want to link their Facebook profile with the Waze client or they don't own one.
My idea => Create a function on the Waze client to allow people to upload their own pictures.
The goal => When a Wazer is in the vicinity of your location, you can click on it…

Give us the voice of Gigi Saul Guerrero!
Gigi Saul Guerrero is feisty, ferociously funny, and a beloved member of the global horror community! She’s an actor, a horror film director, and the voices of Spider-Girl (Marvel Super Hero Adventures) and Vida (Super Monsters). Hailing from Mexico City, where she's known as “La Muneca Del Terror,” Gigi gained fans worldwide with her quick wit, infectious charm, and her mesmerizing timbre. (Her accent pairs well with two fingers of Casa Dragones.) Next time I drive the highways and byways of America, I want directions from Gigi Saul Guerrero!

Rapid battery drain and sudden shutdown after iOS 10.x updates. Removing Waze fixes the issue.
After the rollout of iOS 10x my iPhone started crashing once the battery discharged to 30% ~ 40%. After much experimentation, I found that removing Waze fixes the problem. I've been using Waze for years and have recommended it to friends. However I cannot accept the rapid discharge & sudden shutdowns.

North = Up!
PLEASE, for the Love of God, give us a preference that will keep North pointing UP on the device! i practically can't use Waze (tho i REALLY want to) because it keep spinning around on me - drives me crazy - i grew up with paper maps & north was always "up" - having it spin to the direction i'm driving is driving me bonkers! :-)
aside from that, the app rocks!222 votesGreat thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Driver's Line Assistant
Hello. Please add the Driver's Line Assistant to your Waze app. I think it's very important thing, because that's one of things which is missed and what would help driver (user) drive right line. Some countries/cities have like 3 curves left and 2 right on highways. So, this will help to avoid problems after seeing/hearing "Turn left".
2 votesGreat news! One of the most requested suggestions – Lane Guidance, is now available in Waze. Thanks for your suggestion. Drive safely!

Showing family members car on carplay while driving
For example we drive to another city with two or more cars, i can add their profile, then on my carplay screen i can see if they’re behind me ( in meters or kilometers) or infront of me, so i won’t be worried about them being lost in the way.

Police alerts should be added to voice alerts (in alert only mode)- this cost me a driving ticket!
In “alerts only” sound mode I do not get police notification, only Speedtrap (stationary traps) so dynamic user-generated police notifications are not notified- this cost me a speeding ticket -+ driving school last week!

Junction/Intersection numbers without active route
I drive on the motorway quite a lot and most of the time I know the way so I won't bother with setting a route.
However it would be great if, without a route being plotted, that Waze would display in the top left "Approaching XX junction"

Mark roads/routes safe for women travelling alone
I usually drive alone and as a woman travelling solo there have been some roads on which I have been somehow scared due to their lack of illumination/population nearby. I was wondering if you have ever thought about adding a feature that would flag roads safe for women travelling alone. For me, I would definitely feel safer knowing that the route is well lit/populated/does not go through dangerous neighborhoods and I wouldn't mind if it's not the shortest or quickest route as long as I feel safe. There would always be the option to choose if one wants to take…

Add Soundcloud as one of the music player options to make a navigation voice and music pause a seamless driving experience
It would be nice if Soundcloud was added to the music player list. There's so many other options on there but that's only only one that's missing that commonly used. It would be nice if it was added so the music music can pause and resume or lower for navigation directions.
