1. Give editors a method to quickly jump to a chat response from another editor

   I literally have thousands of editors that I have chatted with and when one replies, I can see the icon in the top right of my editor screen tells me I have a reply. But to get to it, I must scroll through hundreds (or thousands) of other editors to find the response. Could you make it so I could jump directly to that response?

   These are new editors and it's important that we are quick in our response to them.

2. Simplify Wazer and Editor workflow for residential places

   The current method for a wazer to add their home to the map is confusing and creates more work for waze map editors. The workflow for a wazer is similar to this:

   Wazer selects the yellow triangle (if it's displayed on their map)

   Next selects "Place"

   (now it is about to get really confusing)

   Wazer must take a picture

   The next screen says "Select Place" with a text field that says "Enter Place name".
   
   For a residence, the wazer should not enter a place name. Just below the text field there is apparently a "button" that if tapped will add "This is a residential place".

   But if the wazer enters a place name in the text field above, there is then no option to select the button "This is a residential place"

   Based on the volume of PURs where wazers are trying to add a residence to the map, most are entering a place name and never realize that they should have tapped "This is a residential place".

   Next they are asked to select a category. Since there is no category for an RPP, they must choose the best from a list that isn't helpful for an RPP.

   Making matters worse, the first listed category is "Parking Lot" and again, based on the large volume of PURs for residences, it appears that most wazers select the first choice : "parking lot"

   Now more work is created for the Waze map editor because as long as the PUR says "parking lot" the option to "convert to residential/private address" is not available. so the editor must first remove the parking lot category before the place can be converted to an RPP.

   It would be much simpler and reduce workload for editors if the app just gave a wazer a much more clear path when all they wanted to do was add their home to the map.

   Instead of asking them for a name of the place, ask them if this is a residence or a business. Based on that answer alone, you should be able to much more completely simplify the wazer workflow and the editor work flow.

   thank you.

3. UI Problem: Speed camera\police alert covers the speed limit

   I was using Waze in horizontal mode last night - the speed limit and my current speed were displayed near the bottom of the screen in the middle horizontally. I noticed that when alerts such as Police ahead or Speed Camera in x feet were displayed the notification box covers key bits of the screen such as your current speed, the speed limit and your precise location.

   I think either the UI needs to shift up when the alerts are displayed, or the alert box needs to be constrained to one side of the screen.

   I did take a screen shot but it does not appear to be possible to attach that to this forum.

4. Improve finding of places/business to drive to

   Currently, when searching for a business or place to drive to, it often does not find the business. Or, it shows a list of businesses with the same name but no address or city. For example, if I search for "Kaiser" it shows a bunch of Kaiser Hospital names with no address or city. And it doesn't at all show the one that is closest to me. So, I don't know which one is closer. I end up often having to use google maps and navigation to find places and get routed there. Need to allow us an easy way (by phone) to add a name and address of a business that is not showing up on your results screen too.

5. Save Battery by turning off the display when not in use.

   Currently when I use waze, my phones display is draining the battery. I have the following suggestion to reduce the battery usage. If you could include this in future release, I am sure everyone will turn on waze even if they don't need navigation assist.

   My suggestion

   Turn off the display automatically after a certain speed or give the user an option to turn off the display without locking the phone. This will be very helpful to reduce battery usage when you travel familiar routes and long road trips.

   Turn on the display automatically when there is a voice command and when the vehicle is below certain speed. (that's when users look at the display) and have an option to turn on the display by waving hand in front of the camera.

6. Horse-riding

   It would be great if you could mark yourself as a slow-moving hazard for other Wazers to be alerted to on their screens as they drive.

   Imagine you are riding a horse on a narrow country lane. Considerate drivers slow right down when passing riders on horseback to avoid spooking the horses.

   If you could declare yourself a rider on horseback, and had your phone with you then other Waze users could be alerted to your presence well before rounding the very last corner and needing to brake suddenly.

   This could reduce accidents between horses and cars.

7. Different devices on same account should allow different "keep awake/on top" options

   I have an iPhone and an android Nexus 7 device I regularly use with Waze.

   The Nexus 7 device is installed in the dash of my car, I want to disable "prevent device lock" option, so that when I turn off the car the device is able to go to sleep and preserve battery

   When I use the iPhone in the other car, I want to have "prevent device lock" so that the phone doesnt look while it's in use. I manually sleep the Waze app in this case.

   When both devices are logged into the same account, they get the last setting from the other device, which invariably results in the nexus 7 getting the "prevent lock" setting, draining its battery.

8. inbuilt voice control with reading messages

   voice control would be great!
   waze asks things sometimes and I have to look onto the screen and touch the screen

   placing signs like police control, obstacle on the road etc are the same

   these are very risky!

   please implement message loud reading and voice control/response to these

9. Waze Login Screen - Missing "AutoFill Passwords" & "Associated Domains" for using password manager.

   Apple iOS has two core features when using a Password Manager to login. An app must have the "Autofill Password Entitlement" so the the autofill password feature in iOS appears on the top of the keyboard when on the login page, this allows you to access your password manger; without this you can use a password manager. The next core feature missing is the "Associated Domains Entitlement", this is the second part after autofill password implementation in the app. Associated domain set up on the apps login page will then allow a users saved credentials (username and password) to be saved with the website (domain) so it can be linked to that apps login page. without this you have to search through your long endless list of save passwords.

    Hi dear waze team.
    Now we have highlighted lane indicators on the top of screen which is very helpful to drive in the express way with 3 or more lane. Thanks for this great improvement.
    The only thing missing in this App is the Bluetooth and FM transmitter
    With improving this two option, waze will be the top and best in the world.
    Thanks

12. Allow Social Network Reporting of Speedlimits to improve accuracy of speedlimit database

    If you allow the user base to report speed limits it would be more accurate than having a static database of speed limits. Also there should be an option for "Variable Speed Limit" for places where the speed limit changes depending on traffic (for example, I-90 and I-5 in Seattle, WA have variable speed limits that range from 30 to 60 mph). There should also be a temporary construction speed limit option in areas where there is construction--you can pop up a verification screen so users to confirm whether the construction speed limit still applies once or twice each day.

13. Stop popups while driving

    Our insurance provider gives a discount for safe driving. To get the discount I can't touch a screen while driving. While driving using Waze, popups block the screen but I can't close them. If there is no way to disable ALL popups, I will uninstall waze and find another app.

14. Increase font in navigation screens

17. Change to Android Auto UI

    Can the blue gradient that takes up 1/3 of my car's infotainment screen be removed from the Android Auto Waze UI? It makes it difficult to see the road ahead as it fades out into blue and doesn't utilize my full car screen. Kind of like the CarPlay UI. You can see the road so much further ahead on it.

    Also a setting to use night theme or day all the time would be welcome too.

18. Create a waze GPS system apart from an app. Like Tom Tom and Garmin. Keep people off their phones.

    Police, Swat, and ambulances use other devices apart from Waze because it is not on a phone and is installed in their vehicles. Allow the public to have a screen that is separate from the phone and it can benefit even the public safety protocols.

19. hands free confirmation

    Completely hands free navigation. Currently, if you tell Waze to navigate to a specific address, you are required to manually (using your hands) confirm navigation. Unlike Google Maps, which starts navigation immediately. Requiring to touch the screen is not safe, illegal in certain areas, takes your eyes off the road, and is counter intuitive to using voice navigation.

20. Motorcycle Horizontally Mounted Phone

    Dear Waze Team,

    I use Waze on my motorcycle and would like to make two suggestions to improve Waze for all motorcyclists. I mount my phone horizontally on my motorcycle handlebar. But the problem I experienced with the phone being mounted horizontally is that the map on Waze is not completely visible.

    1. The search destination bar at the botton of the screen is covering a lot of the map when there is no destination entered. Would it be possible to make a small enter destination button at the side of the screen for example below or above the speedometer instead of the huge search destination bar at the bottom of the screen. The map at the bottom of the screen would be much more visible then.

    2. The Next Turns display at the top left of the screen covers a lot of the map. Almost a quarter of the map is not visible because of this. Would it be possible to make the Next Turns display smaller? The only thing I need is an arrow pointing the direction of the next turn. It would be great if the distance and streetname could be made optional.

    I think I am not the only motorcyclist experiencing these problems and I think the features mentioned above could be a great addition to Waze, especially for motorcycle users who use Waze with a horizontally mounted phone.

    Thanks in advance and with kind regards,

    Tim
