  1. Taxi meter

    I would be happy if you can integrate in your application one ficher of a taxi meter. You have the date time and distance only thing you need to add is the beginning of the meter by the country and Day & Night. I use taxis a lot, and I would love to know what the price of the trip before I go in a taxi, especially abroad.
    Thanks

  2. There needs to be more granularity on audio alert volume

    Someone else said “Audio alerts without voice guidance”, but that’s only half, and actually, exactly opposite of what I’d like.

    If there was separate volume slider for “Voice Guidance” and “Audio Alerts”, that would cover all bases.

    My situation is different than the other suggestion - When i’m on my 3 hour commute, there are SO MANY VEHICLES ON SIDE OF THE ROAD that my podcasts get interrupted every 3 miles.

    But because it’s 40 miles on one freeway, 35 miles on another, 45 on a third, and 30 on a fourth, i’ve zoned out and missed my…

  3. LIVE Number plate scanner, last known position of police vehicles.

    A button to enable the camera to scan and track known number plates of police vehicles (possibly other wazers).

    This can have a refresh time of say 10 sec and shows the next known position or simulate the police vehicle movement on the map. It just disappears when it loses the tracking but notifies users of recent police presence if you enter a road that had police vehicle on it in the last minute or so or within a certain distance.

  4. When you report a red light camera it should cover the area of the camera not just one side

    When you report a red light camera it should cover the area of the camera not just one side. When you get close to that area you will get a alert no matter what side you are on.

  5. Ideas

    Hi,
    I love the app use it almost every day!
    I have several ideas to improve the Waze app.
    • Bring back the police and on road icons, this enables us to see relative distance to reporting
    • Allow mobile and directional reporting of police
    • Allow inside or outside lane reporting of hazards
    • Post reports of police both directions as we have officers who wait in median
    • Allow directions to closest officer for emergency use.
    • Allow return to normal speed after clearing of congested roadways
    • Update routes when roads become congested (immediately without searching alternate…

  7. Problem in route visualization when displaying alerts

    When Waze displays route alerts the alert appears over the map when the phone is in horizontal position and it is not possible to see what should be done ahead. Please review this, as previous versions didn't have this issue.

  8. "Along route" should be a choice when searching for a point of interest!

    Many times while driving I want to find a restaurant, bathroom, gas station, etc. I'll get results, but a) many are already far behind me, and b) the distance is off. How about giving an "Along route" option? Unless the only option is behind me, it is silly that I have to test 4 or 5 choices that move me backwards before I find one that is ahead of me. Waze knows where I am headed and knows where the places are, so that should be the clear and obvious option.

    And why can't the distance be correct? Again, Waze…

  10. Add support for government emergency alerts (cell broadcast integration) to notify drivers entering affected areas

    As a Waze volunteer editor, I’d like to suggest integrating a feature that uses official cell broadcast emergency alerts sent by governments or national agencies (such as AMBER Alerts, severe weather warnings, or public safety alerts).

    The idea is simple: when a Waze user drives into an area where a cell broadcast alert was recently sent, the app could display a notification or short message about it — even if that driver didn’t originally receive the alert on their phone because they were outside the area at the time.

    This feature could be extremely valuable in real-life…

  11. insufisant speed limit notification

    Hello and Happy New Year to all.
     It remains for me 2 major gaps for waze and one interesting improvement.
      - The sound alert only when over speeding is insuffisant and already cost me 1pt on my licence when I accelerate to overtake. ..
    You can not look at the screen constantly we must keep an eye on the road. Then configurable audible signal for danger zones is therefore indispensable.
      - The speed is not displayed or set as she is known by the apk.

     For the improvement is to advertise only hazards on the road on which flows to…

  12. save lives: hijack hot spot and unsafe or damaged roads

    DANGER HOT SPOTS
    South Africa is riddled with crime and Waze can literally save hundreds of lives by allowing users to post hot sports at dangerous intersections. Simply being aware of a dangerous intersection will allow people to stop at that light with a safe escape distance. If the intersection gets safer somebody could post as not dangerous anymore

    UNSAFE ROADS
    Ive had numerous flat tyres from driving over a pothole. Imagine i could post a section of the road as damaged road. Id then be aware that i should be looking out for potholes. In the unlikely occasion…

  13. Discretionary right turns

    Suggest identifying discretionary right turns and adding a voice alert when drivers are approaching these junctions in Singapore. This could potentially act as a notice and/or reminder, and reduce accident rates at these junctions as drivers may not be aware/alert to these, especially if they are taking an unfamiliar route.

  14. Give us a target speed in traffic jams to help Waze users optimize average throughput

    I recently read this article: http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20160428-how-ai-will-solve-traffic-part-one

    It talks about how going slower and keeping more space between your car and other cars can actually improve the flow of traffic when it's all jammed up. It also explains how autonomous cars will make this work much better, but also indicates that we can help improve things now by changing our driving behavior.

    The article also explains how the highway patrol sometimes sends cars through traffic jams on the highway to break it up and re-channelize it.

    If the Waze app could give users a target speed based on traffic conditions, and…

  16. Alerte spéciale pour un véhicule qui circule en sens inverse

    Bonjour,

    Je voudrai proposer un bouton d'alerte pour prévenir que l'on vient de croiser un véhicule roulant dans le sens inverse.

    C'est ce qui m'est arrivé sur une utouroute française, et j'aurai vraiment aimé avoir plus de solution pour prévenir les autres wazers de ce véhicule au comportement dangereux.

    Cordialement

  18. Adjust the font size on Apple Carplay when viewing the suggested routes

    The font is too big on the suggested routes page on Apple Carplay meaning that it's not possible to see the journey time and distance for each of the suggested routes. The text is truncated. I have to unplug my phone from the car to see the full route information.
    Please reformat the text on the suggested routes page on Carplay so the information is not truncated.

  19. Customised alerts for motorcycles

    I would prefer that there is more of an alert function that makes the whole screen flash red as when I’m riding my motorcycle I need something that catches my eye so I can look down briefly as my phone is attached to my handle bars. Right now just the top of screen alerts green.

  20. Radar audio warning trigger model

    I don't know if this is a new topic or not, but this is a problem that I've encountered wherein the normal Waze behavior is almost like a bug.

    How it works today
    The visual on screen warning for a Speed camera is based on distance only. I.e it will always show on-screen when the driver is X meters from the camera.
    However, the audio warning for a speed camera only activates if you pass the "detection distance" and are "over speed"

    Problem
    In this specific case, the radar is a 70 km/h radar. The detection distance however is…
