Local driving instructions without highways
Instead of always giving directions using highways, you should investigate methods using "back ways", meaning using local streets as some people don't like to go in highways. Also, when directions are given, please give FULL instructions, not just show an arrow pointed to the right or left without mentioning on what road to make that turn.

Follow my drive web map should show alerts too
During Follow my Drive, your alerts and comments should be broadcasted too. Many times you're driving ahead of a group, and they want to know how the road conditions are. If your alerts appeared on the FMD web, they could see what you're reporting.
Maybe simply use the real time waze map instead of a blank map, so you can see alerts. Don't forget to include the feature for world.waze.com too and not just for the regular US waze.

Concept: Driving apps shouldn't remind people about their dead parents.
Why is a driving app (not even a calendar app!) reminding me about my dead father? Why is a driving app ignorantly involving itself in my family dynamics at all? Millions of people don't need a reminder about Father's Day.

Fix sunset dark/night mode toggling multiple times per day
When driving before sunset, Waze switches from its day to night mode a little bit before sunset...then it switches back to day...then to night...then to day... On my drive tonight (headed west on I-20 toward Shreveport, LA), it toggled back & forth 15-20 times before finally settling in on night mode.
I recommend adding some hysteresis into the switching that matches/compliments how you calculate the sunset proximity. Once Waze switches to its night display in the evening or it switches to the day display in the morning, it shouldn't switch back (you know, as long as you're on the same…

when driving fast on highway, don't show side streets
When driving fast on a highway, the side streets and names clutter the screen and are not necessary. Removing them would probably also save data usage.

police reports
Hi, I would like to make a suggestion for us waizers that will be very helpful. Perhaps you can add a choice to click on police report that is in the screen so that we just press on it instead of going to Reports then choosing police and then sending it. Please take in consideration that we are driving and most Likely can't stop and enter report and that by the time we enter the report we are ways further from the area we saw the police. I think everyone will benefit from this easy way to report and we…

PLEASE make my position on the map “centered” on my iPad screen in landscape mode!
While using the app in landscape mode my position on the map is always on the bottom right of the screen and not in the bottom “center” of the screen. I really love this app and all of its features, but I just can’t learn to live with it this way! It’s driving me insane to the point that I don’t even want to use the app at all and have been searching for other nav apps. I really want to use Waze but I just can’t stand the position being off centered the way it is. I just can’t…

Carbon CO2 footprint
in order to reduce the carbon CO2 footprint it would be nice if you could calculate estimated time not only based on the speed limits and current traffic-load. I.e. set the max speed to 90 km/h will reduce the carbon footprint with almost 30 % on longer trips, you could have this as an individual choice. As example I hade average 4,5 liter per 100 Km on a 330 km drive instead of 6,8 when drive within speed limit 110/120 km/h it take 30 minutes longer but it´s much calmer and less stress.

"Workers on road side"
Can you add a "workers on side of road" choice under "hazard"? Often times when I'm driving I see workers on the side of the road mowing grass or something like that. I would like to have the ability to warn other drivers that there are people in close proximity to the road / work going on that's not exactly on the road.

Erase the path behind you.
When in a route, sometimes the path behind you get mixed with the path you are following. The path behind you should not be marked or it should be erased as you drive.

There are too many clicks to start driving after choosing a destination. you should add more buttons 1. "Drive" 2. "More Option".
In addition, about voice options, the pane should disappear after choosing...the confirm button is redundant1 vote -
Show/Notify UR that I follow (optional) - Mostrar/Notificar UR que sigo (opcional)
(Optional feature, just for active editors)
Some Update Requests (UR) require a visit to the place in order to verify, or even take pictures.
I'd like an option in the app that acts as a reminder, when I'm driving near one of this UR that I follow. Waze could show them on the map, with an optional notification. Then, if I have spare time, I could take some minutes in order to solve the UR.

Easier Navigation Means Safer Driving
When your getting close to your destination, the app normally lets you see which side it’s going to be on and a picture will show up (normally the picture is never there) but instead of all that I would really appreciate if the address popped up. It’s so frustrating when I’m in the middle of a delivery and have to back petal to find the address somewhere else because I’m also trying to navigate my surroundings and I can’t remember the house numbers. Just a thought for the future..

Secure routes
People should feedback the security of route (too dark, too dangerous, too lonely in a 1-5 scale for example). this way, user can choose route by distance, ETA or security.
Some times I just drive through routes I didn't wanna to if I knew.

speed warning PERMANENTLY
I would like to see the OPTION to enable the acoustic warning chime PERMANENTLY as long as you drive faster than the speed limit.
Currently this warning chime will only appear once, but in my case for me it would be safer and easier to follow the speed limits when this sound would appear as long as you drive too fast. In this case the warning sound would work like the overspeed warning in airplanes, which definitely makes sense.
And because some people could not like this, it should be an aditional option in the settings.Please concider this, as…

Program a way to pause Wyze when one is taking a deliberate detour. For example you plan a drive, on the way you decide to take a detour
Program a way to pause or stop Wyze while you are driving, using a voice command. Do this so you can stop or pause Wyze while driving and not have to touch or look at screen.
