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!

Increase font in navigation screens
Small fonts on Android. It was better few version back. Increase font in Android doesn't help. Ask your devs to respect accessibility for major actions like voice alerts, Home/work recommendations , recent drives, etc.

Please improve the paving method. It is very hard to pave the new road segment which is parallel or so closed to the existing roads.
The editing will be much easier because the editor do not have to use their drives map that are not always reliable to them to refer.

The reporting interface is dangerous while driving and needs improvement
I think that there are quite a few suggestions indicating that the report interface is dangerous while driving and therefore needs improvement. It is not acceptable to go through several levels of clicks to make a report as one drives. It might be useful to allow one to rearrange or perhaps prioritize the report icons so that common reports are 'one click'. Linking the icons with a voice activation phrase is also a good idea that appears to have quite a few votes spread through several suggestion postings.

Drive left/right reminder
As part of the user profile, the user should be asked 1) which country they reside in, and 2) if they would like reminders to keep left (or right) when actually driving in a country that drives opposite that to which they are accustomed, i.e. "Turn right at Turnhere Road, remembering to keep left." Use of the feature would be optional.

Select Alerts
Please make it so you can elect which alerts you want to receive during navigation. On long drives, there are multiple alerts that aren't necessarily relevant. Selecting only police, traffic, and hazards IN the road would eliminate a lot of alerts.

Add Estimated Rest Stops
Allow Waze to look at my previous drives and understand that normally in a 4 hour drive I take one rest stop for approximately 20 minutes. That 20 minutes should be accounted in my ETA I personally think.

Add mode that makes only 1 announcement per turn. Otherwise, continuous jabber drives me crazy, particularly on familiar commutes.
Giving a pre-pre warning and then a warning and then the actual turn is extremely annoying when it is a route that is familiar. There should be a mode that just gives a pre-warning, essentially alerting you which of several routes you might take based on traffic.

Boat trailer option
Please add an option for towing a trailer. I'll be towing a 23' boat from DC to ME in August. Generally this can only go on interstates and roads without height restrictions. I know from past drives that Waze will try to take us on the Merritt or Taconic parkways where trailers are not allowed and clearance is low

Correct mileage designation.
Please change the designation 'oh point six miles' to the correct 'zero point six miles'. As a math teacher, this 'drives' me crazy.

Driving mode
Waze need a "Driving mode" switch within settings. I'm a Waze user, I use Waze from my car radio 7.5" screen and the only difference is more space for map view. By "Driving mode" is bigger buttons, bigger texts on street names and notifications. While driving you should not need to force reading or hitting a button... It's just an idea that I'm sure will improve a lot Waze usability while driving.

Option to say "not here" for traffic and construction.
Wake feed alerts seem to be old and inaccurate with no way to clear or report completed. Allow drives to vote construction and traffic reports off the map

Option to automatically disable WiFi
When transitioning from WiFi to 3G or vice versa, Waze often loses a connection and becomes useless, requiring us to restart the app. I imagine this would be a problem for anyone who drives by a wireless network that they use often (home, work, school, etc.) This could be avoided by giving the user the option to automatically disable WiFi connections within Waze. This option would prevent users from having to disable WiFi before starting Waze every time.

Main menu & saved addresses
Main menu needs to be redone, so that you can easily access Saved drives. Additionally, need to add the ability to Edit Saved addresses without having to completely delete and then add in the updated address detail.

Planned drives from my calendar need to account for checking in and security before a flights
Waze works great pulling in my calendar events and notifying me when to leave except for flights. Is there way for Waze to automatically calculate in time for boarding and airport security etc. when offering a time to leave.?

Allow a single user to put up a road closure that remains until another driver goes through the closure.
As a user who drives mostly in town, there are numerous road closures that I experience. I often mark the closure but the next time I drive through that area, the road appears OPEN, although it is actually still blocked. I suggest that a single user be able to put up a closure, without the need for a second driver to also show or confirm the closure.

Add Exhaust Microphone cameras to “What do you see?” Feature so other drives can report it. Please NYC
Will Waze add Exhaust microphone cameras to the map? Or can drivers report it? Please add It to “what do you see feature”, so other drivers can confirm.
