Adding hazards to oncoming traffic
You should include an option to add hazards to not only your side of the road, but the other side (oncoming traffic) as well. Sometimes it is easier to see the other side than it is your side and it would benefit everyone, not just the people going the same direction as you.

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.

Business Address Route to arrive on the right side of the street
For business address, hotels, commercial, etc. especially in busy downtown areas, please have the route always go around the block or whatever is necessary to arrive on the Right side of the street. For example dropping a passenger off in front of the building. Avoids having to do a mid-block u-turn or going around the block.

Screen space landscape
The landscape view of the map has too many things on screen. The black navigation pane covers the speed limit and the speed camera alert also covers most of the screen. I am using larger font sizing as my eyes aren't great and the scaling makes this situation even worse.
Can the screen space be arranged so items don't cover each other in landscape.
Maybe a new set of icons/thin banner on the "side" instead of going along the whole "bottom" of the screen when in landscape.
Also Samsung phone has polarised screen to help viewing in sunlight…

Allow speedometer/magnify/alerts button to be placed on either side
Screens are getting bigger. Have an option to put the alert buttons on the side closest to the driver. This may help with people with short arms and also will help keep eyes on the road!

Age limit on appstore
Please lower the age restriction on AppStore, to the same age it was a until not long ago.
Since you updated it to 17+, I can no longer use your app, due to the restrictions I put on my phone, to filter content.
Thank you!3 votes -

Do I need a map
Do I need a map
A lot of my driving I know the route, I travel it every day and for there is no reason to change
What I need the the speed (Big Display)- speed alerts (When over the limit) - warnings - hazards, police and radar verbally called and heavy/standstill traffic when approaching recorded warnings within the last 30 minutes.
This would save on the map downloads and for me the use of mobile data, even though I have found this to be very small.
The maps are good for places I do not know, but for…

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.

Fix the Waze app display to it's original display
Currently the display is matching google maps display cluster. It is hard to see the entire map during navigation. The old speed limit bigger character size and circle size was replaced with a small box with 4x lower character size, almost impossible to read. Remove the display update and return it to the old display and functionality. Please!

Have ability to be notified when police are on the opposite direction of travel. Many times they radar both ways from one side
Have ability to choose from being notified for direction of travel, like is standard now, or be able to be notified when police on either side of road. Many times they radar both directions from one side of the road.

Traffic Reporting
users report traffic even at 2am on an empty street as heavy or even standstill just to get points.
Recommend a change where the user only presses a button that says "report traffic". Then the app over 3 minutes send location and speeds to server and server decides based on reported speed vs posted speed, the heaviness of traffic. At 80% if posted a peed you mark "moderate". At 60% it's "heavy" and at 40%, it's at a "standstill".

Radar Alert for any car's velocity
I would to suggest that the radar alert works independent of the drive's speed. Sometimes you're close of the speed limit and there's no alert and you can get a ticket if you distract with something else.
