  2. Routing server timeout on long drives

    Since the app seems to consistently time out looking for long drives, I would recommend allowing more back end resources be used for drives over a certain mileage or time. This might require an upgrade based on the high number of users.

    Instead of having just one option, I would like to be able to choose between options since there are riskier routes for adding traffic.

    I'm sure I'm not the only one with this issue since I can have perfect service on an iPhone 6S and consistently have your servers time out.

  3. Bulgarian TTS voice

    Waze offers TTS voices in many languages that can pronounce both street names and important alerts. This is extremely useful because alerts like average speed checks, speed bumps, and other warnings are spoken aloud rather than played as brief beeps that can be easy to overlook.

    Unfortunately, there is no TTS voice available for Bulgarian. I use the UK voice 'Kate' as a workaround, but it cannot correctly pronounce Bulgarian street names written in Cyrillic. This limits both usability and safety for Bulgarian-speaking drivers.

    Please add a Bulgarian TTS voice to ensure proper pronunciation of street names and audible alerts…

  4. time zone temp fix

    If it's too difficult to have Waze team fix the time zone issue, how about Waze telling the user the destination crosses a diff time zone and to display a warning that they should manually set the time zone on their phone to the actual destination time zone to prevent confusions/issues. That way, Waze won't adjust when crossing the zone and destination will display ETA correctly for the whole trip. At arrival, another warning could be to remind the user to set his time zone on phone back to "automatic".

  5. Is it possible, just like with the tomtom, to get a bar where all the messages such as traffic jams and speed cameras can be seen?

  6. Android Auto - Arrange Display based on left or right hand drive and Icon Size and Speed

    To save the person stretching to the other side of the screen to click an icon. If you have to stretch to reach it may impact your driving direction, and how long you need to look at the screen for.

    For me the Reporting something panel appears on the non-driver side.

    Adapt the screen so that icons you click on are always on the drivers side.

    When half screen mode, you can not report anything anyway, so consider also making, bigger icons and going through two panels may also be better.

    The screen should also indicate the location has been…

  7. Trailer Speed and Seatbelt/Phone Cameras operating in Queensland

    Firstly I know there are posts regarding this including mine but I think this needs to be addressed with fresh eyes and open minds.

    I understand there is a resistance to showing the Seatbelt/Phone Cameras and I can see the thinking behind it but would like to suggest that a General Warning would be better than none.

    Now on to the main part of my idea which is only applicable if Waze have no intentions of giving Wazers three options to report these Trailer Cameras (Unidirectional QPS Speed Cameras, Bidirectional Acusenus DTMR Speed Cameras and the Acusensus Seatbelt/Phone Cameras).
    Instead…

  8. Improved Time to Leave Notifications

    Time to Leave Notifications should consider where you would be at the time of leaving, if there is another place on the calendar before. Countless times, I am driving to my location, and while I am still driving I get the notification that I need x amount of time to get to my location. When I stop driving, I won't get the notification based on where I actually am, since it already gave me the erroneous notification when I was driving. I think this should be a specific option added to the settings menu for navigation.

  10. Train crossings and train stoppage.

    Okay, I thought your app had everything until today. I ran into a slow train crossing. This is a difficult one because trains are there and then not there. I would like the ability to report trains and maybe speed/length in general terms. Then there are the trains that just stop on the crossing for an extended amount of time. Those would be very helpful to report. But, at least being able to report the train is crossing and direction of movement will help people I think.

  11. I used Waze in foreground (iPad Mini) to navigate, while running Navigon in background for speed warnings.

    I really like Navigon's speed warnings, but it couldn't find my destination address, so I just let it run without a destination and ran Waze for navigating. Worked great, except in the boonies, where Waze died for lack of internet.

    When showing potential routes for the user instead of just having a time estimate (20 mins) also show the ETA (2:30pm).

  14. New hiden speed cameras in athens not shown on map

    TO: Google & Waze – Traffic and Maps Division
    SUBJECT: Missing speed/red light cameras in Athens & National Highway – Immediate risk for users

    Dear team,

    I’m a professional taxi driver who drives tens of thousands of kilometers every year in Athens and on the Athens–Lamia National Highway. I use Waze and Google Maps daily. However, the lack of updated data on new cameras has become a serious risk for your users.

    What’s happening:

    1. In Athens:

    Dozens of new traffic cameras have been installed on major roads (Kifisos Ave., Kifisias, Dyrrachiou, Moschato, Nea Filadelfia, etc.).

    These are white with…

  15. Route away from schools at pickup & dropoff time

    We've been noticing an increasing amount of Waze traffic near our local elementary school. It is dangerous for the kids who are biking to school (and not yet as reliable as adults) -- we have had three kids hit by cars in our small city so far this year. And I'm sure it is annoying for drivers -- we've seen a lot of folks swerving around slow cars etc.

    I would love to be able to tell Waze the pickup and dropoff windows for our school, and have it automatically route away from the school (and ideally nearby streets).

    Maybe…

  16. police

    Please reinstate the "Police on Other Side" feature. Reporting speed traps is the most useful reason to report police, and traffic moving in opposite direction will always be better suited to identify and report.

  17. Allow to select which alerts we do want - allowed speeding (+/- 5km/h), police and speed-cams, etc.

    Currently we either have all alerts or none.

    The problem is, we get alerts like: reduced zone ahead, or if "speeding" so traveling 1-2km/h above.
    So I have alerts disabled, but then I neither get important alerts.

    Allow to select us which alerts we want:
    1. speedig - yes/no/yes, if exceeds N km/h
    2. reduced speed zone ahead
    3. police and speedcams
    4. other dangers (potholes, roadkill, car stopped)
    5. warnings (fog, etc.)

  18. Section Control

    In a lot of European countries you have speed-control via section-control, means:
    the avgerage speed is measured of a certain distance by taking picture of car when entering and leaving the measuring section.
    Unfortunatly currently you can not warn other users of such controls.
    On contrary, such controls are only posted as stationary speed-control when entering, which is very misleading
