estimation based on the gradient of the route
Implement fuel consumption/energy expenditure estimation based on the gradient of the route. Currently it does not take into account whether the route contains uphill or downhill slopes. In many cases a route can be more efficient if uphill slopes are avoided or efficiency can be improved if it is downhill. It can also be very useful for bicycles, trucks, etc.

Average speed
Моля, да се маркират отсечките по Българските пътища, на които се измерва средна скорост. Всички те са маркирани в сайт bgtoll / въпроси и отговори, под секцията "Средна скорост". Всяка отсечка е маркирана и показана. Не съм единственият, който иска това да се извърши, особено с въвеждането на този нов закон в България от 7ми септември!

Waze powered social speed alert standalone device for car with data built in
Speed camera warning devices are always out of date and don’t warn of police sat by the road or mobile vans. I would like a standalone device connected to the internet and with an audio and I visual warning in a discreet package.

maximum one report per X miles
Hi there,
Waze is awesome and everyone is using it. Some like me to navigate from Northern Denmark all the way to Romania on holiday others just to find out about speed traps.
In Romania, Waze caught a lot of media attention so we have a lot of new users, who are obsessed with the points. The new users part is good. We get more reports, more places, we improve on the map problems and we know exactly where the police is :)))
But then due to the point system, the new users instead of thanking for a reported police…

Reminder: time to take a break!
We suggest introducing notifications that would remind drivers to take a 10 minute break when they have driven for 2 hours non-stop, and after a 4 hour drive would suggest taking a 20 minute power nap.
Research by the Latvian Road Traffic Safety Directorate shows that 11,7% of drivers are at high risk of falling asleep, and 1/3 of all drivers have experienced falling asleep at the wheel for a second in the last year.
By reminding drivers how important it is to take breaks, Waze can help prevent tragic accidents and save lives.

Saving fuel and increase brake pads lifetime
On German highways there are often speed limit changes from unlimited to 130km/h or less. So if I drive for example 200km/h and see the speed limit sign and i go completly off throttle and my car reduces speed to about 180km/h until i reach the sign. So I have to break fast from 180 to 130km/h or less. This is big wear for my brake pads. To get a longer lifetime of my brakes and to get a smoother driving I wish to get a message 1 or to 2km before the speed sign (only on highways when …

add a plugin method, e.g. radar detector
There is an iPhone app called "radar active" that allows realtime updates of speed traps. The sounds various radar detectors make (or dataports like on the Valentine V1) could be used to automatically add speed-trap / false alarm information to the map. Android has easy ways to add external hardware, but the microphone could be used on any platform with the right audio processing software.

Waze notifies you of toll roads approaching
I drive around with Waze on there's no set destinations so I can know how traffic is Flowing, speed limits, hazards and such notifications as that. What waze should do is have a notification of toll roads if you are driving in their Direction if your avoid toll road option is on

When driving on a long straight road, when the alert is announced, it is too late to avoid long range speed cameras. Is it possible to adjus
When driving on a long straight road, when the alert is announced, it is too late to avoid long range speed cameras. Is it possible to adjust the timing of the alert announcement to give more time to warn of what is ahead ?

Wase Alarm. It would be great if Wase could let you know when to leave to your destination based on the time it will take to get there.
I would like my Wase to let me know when I have to leave to my destination just in time to get there at the time I need to get there. So I can stay the longest at point A before leaving to point B. Thanks a lot for the great job. NOTHING CAN BEAT FREE PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER.

Android Samsung galaxy note 3 multi window feature.
Would love to use it with other apps. This limits me to only use one app. With Google maps I can listen to YouTube or a music app while I see and hear directions. Thanks.

Add an ICE icon for active incidents in real time
We need an option for when we see ice activities in public. Not only does all of this hold up traffic and put us behind behind of where we’re supposed to be, but we also need somebody to step up and be the heroes. Somebody with an infrastructure already in place that allows us to coordinate and work together. You’ve shown time and time again that you’re willing to step up and do what’s right, and now we need that more than ever. Please join us on the right side of history while there’s still a chance.

Children's game based on the new locations encountered during a drive
A game aimed at children that links the driving experience to the area being driven through. So, for example, I spy puzzles based on nearby landmarks (eg I spy, spelling the name of the neighborhood). Raises children's awareness of the world around us, much like pokemon got people exploring their local neighborhoods on foot. Puzzle ideas can be provided by other wazers/children.

Time saved vs detour tolerance slider
The biggest complaint I hear from non waze users is that it routes you a zig zag through a neighborhood or takes you off/on the highway to save 20 seconds.. I use it everywhere I go myself, still worth it BUT I do get annoyed when a significant amount of twists and turns if they don't end up being necessary.
I suggest a slider in settings in which the user could say "keep me on the most direct route unless it saves me at least" 3 minutes.. 5 minutes.. 10 minutes etc.
In order words allow me to set my …

BUG: Start of trajectory speed control is not in the correct language
Situation: I live in the Netherlands, but both my iPhone and Waze are set to English (male voice in Waze). But when I approach a trajectory speed control, the warning is spoken in Dutch (female voice). I've seen several mentions of this when searching on Google, so I'm not the only one with this issue.

Congestion color code
I recommend the color of the road be shown based on the current speed motorist are experiencing; potentially if traveling at or above the speed limit, green, 10% below orange, 20% below yellow, and 30% or lower red.

Manually set Speeds for different vehicle setups
I use Waze to drive a jeep, jeep & trailer, bus and trucks.
Legally towing, bus & truck must travel at lower speeds in the cars and jeeps.
It would be really helpful if we could:
1) create different vehicle profiles for the same driver and switch between them.
2) Have the option to be able to manually input the max speeds for vehicle profile eg National roads in Ireland are 80km for bus, truck and towing and 100km for bus and 90km for truck and towing on motorways. This would be more for calculating journey times…
