calculate the remaining time within the tutors' route
I live in Italy and we have tutors on the highways who calculate the average speed
via cameras that mark the entry and exit times of cars within a stretch of road. It would be incredible to integrate a function that indicates how much longer you have to stay within this zone to avoid the fine, an idea would be to use the formula:
Time in minutes = (distance/speed)*60by doing this you could have a timer which, if respected, would avoid the fine
(furthermore, an indicator could also be integrated that tells you at what speed you must continue…

Avoid roads with 70 km/h speed limit in France
I’m currently driving a sans permis car in France, which has a maximum speed of only 45 km/h. That’s why having the option to avoid roads with a 70 km/h speed limit is incredibly helpful for drivers like me. On these roads, it’s common to see cars not only reaching the speed limit but often exceeding it. They go so fast that it’s impossible for me to keep up with the flow of traffic. Honestly, it stresses me out every time I find myself on one of these roads.

Re-arranging the waze application display for "landscape" screens
On a 7" car display, which is a "landscape" display, the Waze application displays the "Next turn" box, including the turn description, on about a quarter of the screen, sometimes even larger. The Result is that the on-coming road map is covered by the box, and the "turn area" shows only at the last minute. For such a "landscape" display the screen display should be re-arranged so that the important part of the on-coming map shall not be hidden until the very last minute, similar to the standard "portrait" telephone display.

WAZE to Catch Criminals
First as police officer for 35 years I think waze is great and makes our job easier. The goal of every law enforcement agency is (if not shame on them) voluntary compliance with the law. If the mere presence of a police car causes motorists to communicate via waze and slow down, then our job is done without the hazards of a traffic stop!
But my idea is for wazers to help the police get dangerous criminals off the streets. Criminals drive to and from crime scenes and are out in traffic with millions of wazers. Police officers issue Be…

Be a car standard
Volkswagen (in 2015) is known to build a good drivetrain and a safe car, but their electronics has been behind the times. Can Waze become their navigation standard? VW would not need to employ so many people in a marginally profitable area (at best) and clients get updates for years to come.

Houston needs waze help!
We are in Houston. Post-Harvey. With a large percentage of Houston's transportation having lost access to their cars or mobility resources. Our city is not built around public transport. Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider beta testing or opening the carpool app so that people in Houston can use it? Where I work (we have 50,000 people) coming and going every day, we could make a huge push for it. Please do consider!

Enable drawing polygon areas where Closures cannot be applied
Use-case:
There is a bridge under construction where only one direction is open at a time, controlled by traffic lights. Currently, Waze often shows it as closed, even though cars are just waiting for the light to change.
Proposal:
Add a feature in WME to draw a polygon-shaped area where closures cannot be applied — useful for cases like temporary one-lane bridges with traffic lights, where Waze should display a queue instead of a closure.

Allow users to choose to display routes on their Phone instead forcing on the Android Auto
Allow users to choose whether to use their phone as Waze for routes or Android Auto as the main display, instead of forcing it to display on Android Auto. Some people want to stream music using Android Auto and use their phones to see directions, as it doesn't distract them from the road. Some head units in cars are positioned lower from the direction of the road and are more of a hassle to look at while driving.

Searching when the car is in park. previous car I was able to type the address in when the car is in park. Now requires parking brake ON
Searching when the car is in park. previous car I was able to type the address in when the car is in park. Now requires parking brake ON
For example in the past I used to pull over, and then enter address. Now It requires the parking brake which is just odd.

The Green line - (Energy/ Gasoline)
The green line- When a Wazer checks optional routes (and also in the preferences/initial destination route) the most energy efficient route shall be marked as the "Green Line".The Wazer should provide Waze with its car model, design, and year so Waze could calculate the energy consumption.There is a difference between the routes because of distance, time, type of ride etc.At the end of the ride the Wazer will be provided with estimated carbon footprint.From Waze perspective - much more data... and from there you can think about many products and ways to monetize it

Move avoid highways option to menu
As someone who owns both a car and a motorcycle, I toggle The avoid highways navigation option back and forth all the time. It's currently buried about 3 or 4 menus down. Love to have that moved to the top menu for ease of use.

HUD Distance Rounding
For cars with HUD/secondary display on cluster, the distance to next turn is always rounded. (15.8 miles show up as 16 miles, 12.4 miles show up as 12 miles)
This make sense when the distance is further away (over 10 miles), but when we are closer (< 10 miles), the rounding could be confusing. For example, 1.4, 1.3, 1.2, 1.1, 1, 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, 0.6, 0.5 mile all shows up as 1 mile, and 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1 mile show up as 0 mile (until unit switch to feet).
The rounding should be disabled (or switch to round to tenth…2 votes
