Use front-facing camera to do things (if available)
I position my iPhone in a cradle that attaches to the windscreen, and I think that I'm not alone. This camera has a pretty unobstructed view of the road ahead, which Waze could use to produce awesomeness! I can immediately think of a number of cool things that you could do with this, depending on how much image processing you want to do. Here are some user stories for you :)
As a: User concerned about recording details for insurance purposes in the event of an accident
I would like: Waze to record the field of view in front of…2 votes -
Limiting typing while "driving" does more harm
Voice only while driving limitation is only making the driving much more distracting and dangerous in certain non-english areas such as Bulgaria for example. Where the voice commands are not working properly. I want for my passenger to be able to type in an address while I am driving, so I won't be distracted by battling with the voice commands and constantly checking what was actually found by them and if it's the correct place. Also why is that even when I pull over and completely stopped I still can't type in. My car is not moving... It's really a…

Stop sending ads at traffic lights!
I want to view my map and decided on my next turns at a stop light. The LAST thing I want to do is look at an ad. If I see an ad, I make a mental note to AVOID that place, even if I would have liked to stop there.

Your search - I drive for Uber & Lyft. I love & use waze all the time. However, I can't seem to turn off the voice while using waze. I would rather read the directions then be told multiple times on where to turn. How do I turn the voice off? - did not match any answers in Waze Help.

Allow reporting after cap hit
Currently when reporting multiple road closures there is a cap on reports, but sometimes this is necessary e.g on my case, trying to get home during a flood event.
When the cap is hit, allow the report for that user only, so they can at least still find a route home. This will still ensure protection from abuse of the report function.1 vote -
Australian TTS voice Kylie is only available while I'm in Australia - why region-lock voices?
We live in a world where people aren't restricted by country borders, and so it's always frustrating when you're faced with a feature or an app on your phone that's not available simply because of where in the world you might currently be.
I'm Australian and have really embraced using Waze over Google Maps over the years. One of the reasons this has been so easy is because of Kylie, the TTS voice I have selected. However, when I go to another country Kylie suddenly stops being available and Waze sounds British or American with no option to change it…

Registration plate recognition and automatic tagging of police vehicles
Due to the proliferation of unmarked police cars and unmarked mobile speed cameras (parked cars) with no warning signs, it is now necessary to take it one step further and use the video feed from dash cams (both front and rear) and character recognition to automatically tag a police vehicle by its registration plate (after that registration plate has been manually tagged). If a user is travelling with that vehicle, the vehicle's location would be updated live. Once that user breaks away from the police vehicle, the location would then be picked up and updated live by other Waze users…

"Favorite" Hazard Button on Main Screen
ADD single-push hazard button on main screen that activates "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder Ahead," which has to be the NO. 1 hazard all drivers face and encounter.
Pressing 5 buttons to alert others of a "Vehicle Stopped on Shoulder Ahead" is a hazard itself. Now, we click the "Alert" button, then we click the "Hazard" button, then we click the "Shoulder" button, then we click the "Vehicle Stopped" button, then we click the "Send" button.
On my bi-weekly 3-hour trips, I go through that routine 20 times per trip. Clicking 5 buttons for ANYTHING discourages people from using that thing.

Show and announce destination upon auto-suggestion navigation start.
When starting navigation via auto-suggestion the driver in fact does not know where to until arrival :) which is sometimes fun, sometimes not. This is not related only to home/work , but also to calendar entries, when skipping one event for the next one calendar based destination takes me to the first place. I would rather be offered a bunch of 3 most probably destinations to choose from rather than stopping the naviagation just to know where to. The destination address shoud be clearly stated on the routes and routes detal views.

Automatic start route -> Add more options (home, other wazers work, then home...)

Go Centre -> Go in 5, 4
Go Home -> GO instead
Go Another saved place -> GObasic algorytm involved: sort by number of times visited. Option to turn off.
Bonus: Multiple choice - if I can check like 4 od five saved places by one click.

Caravan Mode / Follow Me Mode
I've been thinking in a new mode for Wazers... I've been driving with family along the road in different vehicles, not once we've been able to keep the same speed or pace and we end loosing sight of where the vehicles are. In Mexico safety its a very important matter, and everytime we are not able to see where the other cars that are driving with us we call them or text them to see if everything is fine. I imagine a Caravan Mode in which multiple Waze accounts are linked for a trip and you can watch the vehicles…

Please bring the "Boyband" voice back. And have a reminder to move over if there is a cop on the side of the road that stopped somebody.
