Fix the C3PO voice advice.
The voice suggests, "Turn right (or left), Master." This is offputting to many of us, sensitive to the term, 'Master', implying slavery. Perhaps if he said, "Turn right (or left), Master Jedi, it would be more acceptable. As an Uber driver, I've had riders complain about that, so I went back to the generic voice.

Request cancelled webpage with more info
On follow my drive, if you type in the URL incorrectly, or if the other person turned off waze, you get a "Request Cancelled" message on the web.
I have an IT background, so I understand the meaning behind "Request cancelled". But most people I know have absolutely no idea what that means.
The page should say a bit more, in layman's terms. Kind of like a 404 page. For example:
Sorry, this user's drive is not currently viewable. This could be because of several reasons:
Check your URL. Maybe you mistyped it?
The user is not connected to Waze…

You need another subheading in hazards
You should add "hitchhiker" under the hazard- roadside heading. I passed 3 today. One of whom was staggering along the roadside. And under hazards IN the road there should be slow driver.
I don't recall seeing that.3 votes -
Deleted road segment should reveal satellite map before saving (so it can be confirmed).
Currently, if you see a road segment you suspect is in the wrong place, you can delete it, but you can't see what's under the segment (on the satellite map) until AFTER you save...so if you're wrong, you need to re-draw the road, etc.

1-3 physical button for dashboard mounting
I don’t want to use a screen interface to do my critical input reporting (roadside hazards, police). Nor do I want to use voice, which is messy and impractical when traveling with several people in the car. The ideal solution (IMO) would keep people from shifting their eyes to a screen or using their voice in scenarios where they have multiple people (ie kids!) in the car.
Instead, I would love to see either Waze offer a programmable hardware button set that we can map the most important actions to the buttons for easy tactile reporting. If Waze doesn’t want…

Route nickname
Allow people to give names to their usual routes. I travel the same back and forth to work and use waze to determine which is faster. There are only 3 basic routes, and it would be great if I could chose a route and call it as I do in real life "front way', 'back way', 'side streets' etc, so I know easily which is which

More police icons
I would like to see a feature where when a police is located you can have an option to say if it’s an RBT or mobile speed camera ect… have an option to say what police are there instead of just a police icon.

שיפור ידע כללי
הרעיון שלי בעצם הוא לשפר ידע כללי אצל כלל האוכלוסייה שמשתמש בוויז וגם לתת מידע כללי למי שלא יודע.
רוב הרחובות בארץ קרויים על שם אישים חשובים למדינתנו הייתי שמח אם הייתם רושמים איזה 2-3 שורות בקצרה על כל אישיות אולי אפילו לשתף פעולה עם ויקיפדיה שיש להם את המאגר כבר של כל האינפורמציה כמעט בעולם.

Lanes description
Recently there was a graphic description of the lanes before approaching a junction, so the driver can see what lanes exist and which one to choose. And after a while it was removed. It was nice and helpful, please give an option to put it back.
2 votesGreat news! One of the most requested suggestions – Lane Guidance, is now available in Waze. Thanks for your suggestion. Drive safely!

Hope Waze Adds 3D Maps
Hope Waze can add a 3D map view like Amap to make lane guidance clearer at complex junctions and highways. This would help drivers avoid choosing the wrong lane.
Since Google Maps is also introducing 3D maps, it would be great to see this in Waze too.

Both Android and IPhone users on the same map
While driving with a friend who had an iPhone5 (I have a Samsung S3), we noticed that our maps were not showing the same wazers or reports. Displaying both will give more accurate reports and be more fun! I want to see all reports and friends, not just those on Android!

New speed alert mode
It would be nice if app can get something like new speed limit mode, allerting us (by sound) every 1/2/3 sec about excessed speed limit all the time, until car decrease speed. It will be very helpfull to avoid tickets and points but especially make road more safety.

Using streetview to show actual turns on screen
I would like to use streetview pictures at junctions and exits so waze can show the actual situation on screen and highlight the lanes that people need to be in to follow the designated route.
Arrows can be put as an overlay on the streetview picture to properly prepare people for what is coming.

I would love to have a transparent overlay letting me know what area or community I'm driving through.
I live in L.A. and it would certainly be nice to see a light-toned overlay telling me what area I am driving through (e.g. "Echo Park," "Silverlake," "Sparr Heights."

Wase need to activate this button, expends energy and data
As a user of Wase in iPhone I have noticed an exaggerated use of data and constant location without using the application; should enable the location options as well;
- Never
- By using the application
- always
You need to activate this button because the iPhone is heated and spends many battery data and especially thanks for reading these lines iOS 9

Add places you want or need to visit, when you are near.
I am forgetful. It would be amazing to add places you should visit somtime. Like going to a special store or picking up something you bought. Or even jobs you need to do.
You could set a nearby limit, like when in aprox 3km away you get a popup of this place, do you want to visit this place on your route today?
You should be able to add vital information as phone numbers and links to items or places.

Customise number of turn notofications
I don't like to be reminded 3 times that I need to turn (400m, 200m, at the turn), it would be great if I could choose which distances I get reminded at, e.g., turn off the 400m and at the turn notifications if the 200m one if enough for me.
