Show distance covered and time passed while driving
It would be great if waze can display the time passed and the distance i covered in km or miles since i started driving when my app is running. This can be optional and the distance covered display can be turned on and off using settings.

International Land Border Wait Time
I would like to suggest that Waze capture wait times at land border ports of entry into the US in the Canadian and Mexico border with automated geofencing. There are millions of people who come in a day into the US and would be a great market for people who come shop in the US.

timing of alerts
is there any way WAZE can have the speed limit changes switch a little earlier, cos at the moment I can go 50ft or more past the speed limit change before the waze updates the change. certain plods near east gordano set up traps right behind the speed limit sign,

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.

Tunnel Navigation bluetooth OBDII
Typically GPS signal is lost in long tunnels. Why not include a waze connection to a bluetooth enabled OBDII device in your car to give accurate speed. The direction is immaterial as the tunnel path is well known.The devices are cheap about $5 to $20 on ebay. Waze would benefit by knowing speed through tunnels. Yes, beacons are good, but not if they are sparsely placed.

Six essential functions when using apps on mobile phones
Recommendations for the Waze app:
1. Add setting item: Speed adjustment is a slider from 0 to 15km/h to compensate for slower speed compared to reality due to gps latency
2. Change the current speeding warning threshold setting menu to a slider with values from -20km/h to 20km/h so that users can choose the appropriate warning threshold for each need.
3. Add voice speed warning sound option
4. Add option to Repeat overspeed warning: (Off, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds…)
5. Increase the size of the speed indicator and speed limit to match…6 votes -
Time in traffic
Alert users of the time they will spend in traffic on highways etc before the off-ramp. The alert always come up after you have gone past the turn off so you are stuck sitting in the traffic.

Alert sounds
Please can you add the ability to enable Wazers to select alert sounds. The speed limit alert sound is so short and quiet it is almost impossible to hear even at full volume. The ringing bell for roadworks is so loud and clear but doesn’t really need to be! I would love to be able to select the sound for each alert notification. Thanks!
55 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on having an option to select alert sounds. Keep an eye out for updates in your app store.

Add comments when reporting police presence/speed trap

Speedometer metrics
The speedometer should have an ability to change between mi or km. Let's say someone prefers km for navigation but the country they live in has speed limits in mi. by changing the overall metric, both navigation and speedometer is affected..

Ambulance
Good morning. Thank you for your application. I have a suggestion. I am a paramedic and like many paramedics we use your application to respect speed limits and pay attention to control zones. Would it be possible to add an ambulance vehicle and if possible a quickest route for the ambulances taking into account the size of the ambulances. Thank you in advance for considering my proposal.

Quick report buttons
It would be a good idea to place some (2??) customizable quick report buttons on the main Map/interface; in such way we can report speed traps/ dangers/ police while we are driving with a single touch (or double to exclude unintended reports)!
There are too many menu/options to make a report... the only way to put them live is to stop the car and going trough a jungle of options... ( :geek: and I'm used to that! I'm an android user)
Heavy traffic is fine... you're stuck in your car and you've all the time to browse the options but…281 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Automatic zoom and popup alert
Scale slider to set automatic zoom scale/speed on map! I would like set zoom level, it is too much sudden!
Popup alert are too big! Many time is very difficult follow the route because alerts cover the map for too much time. An idea can be a banner in a side of the screen! Keep the map on the screen.
My compliments for this amazing app5 votes -
In-app option to turn off familiarity capping
Give the users the option to always display Speed Cameras and Hazards that familiarity capping would otherwise remove from the display.

More direct routes for emergency response services and fire hydrant locations.
Hi, I propose you look into a toggle option for navigation for emergency services organizations that completely ignores traffic regulations, stop signs traffic lights etc..
Emergency services need to take the fastest route while ignoring speed limits, traffic lights & signs.
It would be very helpful to have a navigation that made more direct routes that completely disregard these things and give you the absolute fastest route.
Also, it would be awesome if there could also be a toggle option to show fire hydrant icons / locations for firefighters.4 votes -
Show current time when using Waze.
I miss the current time being shown when using Waze. Especially useful when doing walking routes.

Voice navigation instructions based on traffic lights and stop signs.
Apple Maps would say “At the next light turn left” or “At the stop sign turn right” or “Go past this light, and at the next one, turn left” which is very useful and helps me make turns at the right intersection, especially if two streets are close to each other.
