Indiquer un animal vivant ou mort
Bonjour,
Avec votre récente Mise à jour il n’est désormais plus possible d’indiquer lorsque un animal vivant se trouve sur la route ou aux abords de la route. Option très importante pour éviter un accident.
De plus il n’est plus possible de spécifier lorsque l’ « objet » se trouvant sur la route est un animal mort ..
Ce qui était également très important pour se préparer au choc visuel de voir un animal gisant sans vie sur le bitume.
Est-il possible de remettre en place ces options si précieuses ?
Merci d’avance.

Speed limit announcement
It would be nice if speed limits on the motorways could already be announced in advance (with distance information, e.g. 120 km/h in 800 m). I got to know and love this function in Sygic Car Navigation...
This saves fuel and brakes...

Upcoming Speed limit
It would be great if Waze could give a(n optional) warning if a speed limit comes up (similar to construction area warning). This enables the driver to lower the speed before - instead of brake down the speed when the limited zone begins.
This would be very helpful especially on German motorways, which haven’t a general limit and where you have to brake hard e.g. before construction areas.29 votes -
Display the name of the town/City that i am currently driving through.
Simply Display In some small way, the name of the town I am currently driving in. Sometimes it would be nice to know the name of the town I currently am driving through, Ie. because some police departments use different types of cars, colors etc. If I knew the name of the town I was in... I would know what to look for. Or simply if I am even in the town of my destination. There are multiple reasons this could be useful. I know in some instances it shows it on the map but is too distracting while driving to find this information imprinted on the map. A quick glance would be so much better if it was always displayed.

WazeCoin, the NFT of Waze
I'd like to share with you an idea I recently had to try to increase Waze user engagement with the app. Launch an NFT that will be linked to the points that are fetched in the app.
First, we have to understand what an NFT (Non fungible Token) is: A non-fungible token is a special type of cryptographic token that represents something unique. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and many other utility tokens, NFTs are not mutually interchangeable. A fungible item, such as money, can be exchanged for another.
So it would be to create a currency, which would be linked to the points obtained in the application that could be traded between its holders and between Waze. When interacting with the application with a login created, the user would earn points that would be automatically converted into WazeCoins, for example, 1000 points would be 100 WazeCoins, but this can be defined after a study of ease or difficulty in obtaining the points.
Here are some usage examples:
- In the virtual store you could buy stickers for 100 WazeCoins, shirts for 500 WazeCoins and other items produced by Waze, such as hats, mugs, etc.
- Create different moods that could only be obtained by exchanging for WazeCoins, and in this regard, moods with different degrees of rarity could be launched: very rare (1-100) that would be worth many WazeCoins, rare moods (101-1000), medium mood (1,000) -100,000), common moods (100,000 – 1,000,000).
- WazeCoins could also be used as payment on Waze's marketing platform.
- People who don't have enough points or don't use the app to “mine” points (WazeCoins), could buy from users who have it or even from Waze directly.
Currency value:
The value of WazeCoin would initially be determined by the initial launched quantity and demand of it, and Waze could have control over this value, releasing more coins into the market. It could align the value of the coin to the value of the products in the store.
Thus, Waze could profit a lot from the currency appreciation or not, there goes Waze's interest in how to manage WazeCoins.I'd like to share with you an idea I recently had to try to increase Waze user engagement with the app. Launch an NFT that will be linked to the points that are fetched in the app.

Ad option under navigation for "fastest route".
It seems shortest distance (in miles) is the option Waze gives. In one case, Waze tries to take me over and around the mountain which is actually longer due to very sharp curves.

WaterWaze - River Safety
I am a kayaker and I know I see a LOT of folks on Facebook trying to figure out where items of importance/danger are on their paths - sweepers (trees that have fallen over the water but not gone under), strainers (trees that have fallen into the water, and other debris, as well as places that are good to put-in and take out, or such places that might not be accessible anymore. Water levels/gauges, dams, bridges, shallow spots, dangerous spots... the ability for someone on the water to note any of these things and have it available (especially if there's a way to add a note - "Rocks to left, stay river right") is not only handy, but potentially life-saving. Instead of a vehicle stopped along the road, lost equipment can be noted, such as a kayak that's finally popped loose of a strainer. Basically, it's the same usefulness (if not more, considering how dangerous the water can be), the same premise... just instead of road, you're using waterways and instead of cars and accidents, you're noting conditions and hazards.

Police speed trap trends
Instead of only showing current police speed traps, have a toggle options for where police tend to sit and wait. "police hot zone" kind of idea. "police have been reported at this time for the last three days" kind of warning. This will not only help avoid tickets, but get people to slow down in the more "dangerous" areas

Show "inbox" on main screen.
I believe that many users are not aware about "Inbox" - this is important for editors waiting for followup on URs.
Long time ago inbox status was displayed on the main screen.29 votes -
Create School/Daycare with Home/Work Default Favorites
Every weekday I drive from home to child's school to work. Then reverse. Every weekday morning Waze asks me "Going to Work?" I'm going to school then work, so NO! Every weekday evening Waze asks me "Going Home?" I'm going to school, then home, so NO again! Everyday! Will you please, add another default favorite for school or daycare!!!

Waze based stand alone GPS unit
My cell phone is WAY too distracting to me. I know I should leave it set to waze only, but all the notifications distract me. I really need a stand alone unit that only does Waze so that I can leave my phone in the back and not touch it while I am driving. It looks like Garmin has traffic updates, but I would rather have Waze.

Speedometer Contrast Issue
In reference to speedometer contrast issue during daytime. Black and Red too similar for daytime glare. At night it is sufficient, perhaps have a daytime contrast theme separate from night-time.

DRIVER SPEED LIMITATION INPUT FOR ITINERARY CALCULATIONS
I think it would be a more than good idea to have the option of telling WAZE that one doesn't want to drive faster than 90km/h.
For instance, i drive a camping car, which hardly reaches 100km/h and would like Waze to calculate itineraries taking this into account. Can that be fastly implemented ?29 votes -
Change the route color from purple to green, yellow or red, depending on how recently the route has been 'swept' by another Wazer.
Change the route color from purple to green, yellow or red, depending on how recently the route has been 'swept' by another Wazer: Green = route traversed by another Wazer no longer than 2 minutes ago; yellow = 2 to 5 minutes; red = no Wazer traffic within the last 5 minutes.

Realistic Detailed Vehicles
Waze has been around long enough now, how about realistic & more detailed vehicles, instead of the green car, silver car, blah, blah, blah. Why isn't there a pickup truck, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, Dodge, Toyota, etc? Realistic & detailed vehicles please!

Crossing major intersections
Los Angeles - When crossing major streets such as Sunset Blvd, Wilshire Blvd or La Cienega Blvd, please guide us to an intersection protected by a traffic signal. While the smaller streets are great for avoiding traffic, once we reach a major thoroughfare, we simply can't get across without a green light! Thanks, Waze!

Add quick text to road reports
Typing while driving is dangerous. However, don't you often want to add more information to a road report? Do you go ahead and type that message illegally or do you simply submit something that you know is an incomplete, ambiguous report. What if you had the option to choose from a list of common stock text modifiers to help with your reporting? What if it was possible to edit these to your specifications?

Heated Rivalry's Ilya Rozanov & Shane Hollander as Voice Options
As popular as Heated Rivalry has become, I think it would be AMAZING if you were to get Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams to record navigation voices as Ilya and Shane. AND I would happily pay to keep those voices as permanent options, like how you can buy ringtones.

Chat
Estimados, todos hemos podido notar que la opción de chat desapareció debido a las recientes actualizaciones. Lo cual desde mi punto de vista como usuario frecuente de su aplicación encuentro que es un error fatal. Waze se diferencia de otras aplicaciones principalmente por su función de poder chatear con otros conductores. Ninguna otra aplicación tiene esa opción tan desarrollada como ustedes. Es una forma eficiente de informar y/o reportar situaciones que muchas veces con los simples iconos generales no es suficiente. Así que expuesta mi sugerencia solicitó que puedan evaluar la opción de habilitar nuevamente los chats en el mapa para garantizar una conducción donde todos los conductores podamos interactuar. Cordiales saludos, Adrian Fuenmayor.
