Fix Texas overview
I don’t know if y’all really know where things are in Texas. However, Houston is not between Midland and Fort Worth. Every time I do a route between the two I get Houston or one of its suburbs listed in the middle somewhere I have a picture I just don’t know what to where to attach it on here.

Autotype something so u don’t need to type the complete adres
So, something that really bothers me on Waze (iPhone) is the fact that u can’t type an adres and use the arrow pointing left up corner, like on YouTube, google maps, google... it has the function to complete the adres without typing it and stil able to write more. So actually completing an adres without writing it complete. If I could post a picture it would be easier to explain. But google maps has it.

More privacy required
I know about the anonymous option, but this is not my point.
I would like to have the feauture to everyone to be only your nickname from Waze client, at maximum, to be shown. So, if you're logged in to Facebook, as I am, it won't appear your picture from Facebook or your name either; instead I would recommend to shown only the Waze emotion and the Waze nickname. To avoid any persuit, identity anything else that makes you easy to be track.
So, only your friends will see your picture on the map and your name.It's not just…

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 driving above the…

Category Icons and Provider indicator in Search Autocomplete results
When we view Search autocomplete results, and even when we view "more" results
* Show category icons, so we can see the difference between a grocery store, a gas station, and a bus stop. This icon could be in the donut hole in the middle of the pin icon.
* Also indicate which are from Waze and which are from external providers (perhaps by putting a blue colored pin for Waze results and a gray colored pin for Google results, for exampleUse case:
If I search for "Giant Eagle Verona" in Pennsylvania, USA, the results include

Toll
I was using Waze in CarPlay today taking a ride on the PA turnpike. It showed that the toll rates were $22.00. This is the accurate toll price if I was paying cash or using toll by plate where they take a picture of my license plate. But people who have an ezpass pay significantly less than that rate, sometimes 50% less. Could you add an option in the Waze account to show the ezpass toll rate vs the cash rate toll rate? Perhaps a toggle button that you have an expand transmitter.

Location Photos
Why, when I take a picture of the location I'm at (as Waze suggests I do to help other users identify this location) does that photo NOT save itself? Everyday I'm asked to RE-take the photo of my home and work. The feature isn't working on my Galaxy S5 and I'd love to see it stop asking me to take a photo everyday when I've already done it a number of times!

zika virus - Aedes aegypti
All over the America, we are facing the problem of Zika Virus.
The virus is hosted on the mosquito called "Aedes aegypti".
To win this war, the people and the governments must find and destroy all the focus of the Aedes aegypti.
Waze could help on this task with a tag on the map that the user could inform where they saw Aedes aegypti´s spots. Could be a picture of the mosquito on the map.Em toda a América, estamos enfrentando o problema do Zika Virus.

Garden State Parkway
The words "Garden State Parkway" never show up on the Navigation Directions. It only ever says "North" or "South".
It seems like waze is going off of the words on the Highway Signs and not the Icons. On the Signs, there is a picture of the GSP and then says North. But in Waze it only shows the words.1 vote -
Traffic cameras combined with Waze live map for visual context
Traffic cameras provide visual context for the roadway environment. Humans are visual and like to have visual confirmation. "A picture is worth a 1000 words". Favorite cameras can be included to provide information along a regularly traveled route. This will provide the Wazer with the opportunity to view conditions prior to committing to a route. Traffic cameras can be displayed along alternate routes.Traffic cameras can be enabled when a Wazer is stationary to avoid driver distraction.

Put the GUI back to how it was in the previous version
The new user interface looks childish, but more critically you guys seem that have forgotten that the primary purpose of Waze is navigation. There's an empty grey bar hiding the bottom 10% of the map, and whenever a road feature comes up the top of the map gets hidden, meaning that a full third of the map is obscured. A phone screen is small enough as it is - with a third of the map hidden navigation becomes really difficult! To top it all off, there's no way of getting rid of the top banner - there's just a greyed-out…

Speed camera recognition
Hello,
Great app but could be even better if it could read speed camera signs. In Sweden, all speed cameras must be notified well in advance of the camera's placement. There are some new cameras missing and if you can read speed camera signs and generate a speed alert, that would be outstanding. I am attaching a picture of the sign that is used as a speed camera warning.
I can send Swedish speed camera sign if you need it...Regards
Uffe

Bug - a different origin point UI scrolling
Bug - when entering a different origin point than my current one (when scrolling to see when to go out in order to get in a certain time), the scrolling bar UI partly stuck on the old one.
You can see for example the time "22:00" and the bars on the side scrolling with you -can't attach a picture unfortunately-

Traffic reports should end at logical intersection
Traffic reports should end at the next logical intersection: I am active with reporting traffic, because I hope the people leaving after me benefit from the reports. The cars stopped on the road don't care about the map editor and, most times, the traffic is at least running through to the next intersection.
That being said, MANY of my traffic reports stop randomly due to the segments drawn in the map editor. This is illogical.
(I get 'yelled at' for multiple reports when I try to update the true distance of the dead-stop traffic and this would be an easy…

Waze Upgrade
Dear Waze Company,
I am writing to you to propose the potential upgrade of Waze.
The upgrade I am proposing is that each user has an emoticon or icon (emoticons, random small photos, or photos of the users and the car and number plate).
The upgrade involves enabling interaction between users by touching the icon of the user on the screen, and then communicating freely by using a drop down menu allowing messaging or choosing from a menu of interactions such as emoticons or speech.
User Upgrade:

Name
Gender
Number plate

Disable pop ups or get a traffic ticket
Washington State recently updated its cell phone law. The new bill forbids handheld uses, including composing or reading any kind of message, picture or data. WAZE continually has Wi-Fi pop-ups for which I must touch the screen to hide the pop up (mind you I’m also on my Vespa and wearing gloves, trying to use a touch screen that barely registers a glove). I’m pushing hard on my screen between 10-12 times while driving to turn off the Wi-Fi notifications on my 24 mile one way trip to/from work. I can now get ticketed for this!! I do not want…

Alert for run-down animals
English: We members of a robotics team created a new Waze alert. Imagine how much will be feasible alert when someone saw or trampled an animal? Usually the people don’t know what do when they trample an animal, if the Waze has this option the rescue of these animals will be easier of be accomplished and the animals will not die for staying for a long time waiting to they be ransomed.

Option to TURN OFF Photos
Privacy and Security Risk! Accidentally touched screen at destination and it suddenly took a picture with flash and message it would send to Waze users. My camera was not set to allow Waze app access. We have to have options to (1) Turn Off Camera to Waze (2) confirm and approve upload or distribution of a photo taken -- no confirmation then it should automatically dump the data. Basic Privacy, Google.
