Integrate with Google Latitude
Would you kindly consider integrating Google Latitude in a future iPhone version? I'd love to autoupdate my waze-less family on where I'm driving and it's a bit awkward having to run waze+glympse or waze+latitudie at the same time. If waze was able to update the Latitude position at least every few minutes or kilometers, it would help a lot. Many thanks in advance, and thanks for waze, it works pretty good although there aren't too many users here yet.
20 votesAt the moment this isn’t possible. Hopefully you will find the FB and Twitter integrations sufficient.

Reporting Feature / Report Editing
The ability to create or move an item you reported, e.g. police, accident, etc. after the fact.
Sometimes you happen upon an accident scene so suddenly you do not think immediately of reporting it on Waze. And it won't help to report it 1 km further. So I would like to be able to add the event and select the precise location after I left the area already. And the ability to drag the icon to a more precise location if I reported it a tad too late.
Also, if I am driving alone without a passenger to click the…

An option to disable the ‘similar ETA’ options
I’m unsure if it’s a bug or what, but Waze has the feature where it will recommend alternate routes mid-drive if it’s a similar ETA or sometimes a few minutes faster. But recently it’s been consistently recommending much slower routes. Like a 20 minute drive where it highlights another option splitting off labeled ‘9 mins slower’ or ‘2mins slower’ not even similar ETA. It feels like clutter and useless for my drive since I would never pick a slower route that would add 50% more time to my drive, and it can be distracting from time to time.…

Reporting road closures is a joke.
No matter how much you tap all over the screen you can't report a road closure. Also can't do it on the run and map is too convoluted. You should provide a comment box to type in or say the name of the road and nearest cross street where closure is. And you can do it at any time even after you stop driving or reach your destination. The road closure will still be closed.

REINSTATING THE PREVIOUSLY USED ADDRESSES FUNCTION WHILE DRIVING
Prior to driving to a new area or a new destination I will drop in addresses/locations into Waze and use them as waypoints as I am traveling. Also, when I am in a new area and I have previously found businesses, etc. that I frequent I would like to be able to have access to those address locations while I am driving like before. Now with the new voice only look up of a business while driving I no longer have access to said previously located addresses or waypoints while driving. I cannot begin to tell you how frustrating this…

Planned trip display date
This morning I woke up and decided to plan my long distance drive. Upon planning my drive, I was able to see the time to leave my location, but did not see the specific day to leave from my location. My destination is well over 40 hours. Just thought it could be cool to see the day to actually leave as well included with the time and reminder. As for the reminder you cannot view the reminding time until ten minutes before you leave. Not a critic just a heavy user of the app. Hope my ideas goes…

Use smart-band's vibrator to notify a danger zone
Because I'm a motorcycle pilot, I need to be more focus on the road than any other vehicules.
I just got a Xiaomi Mi Band which is a BLE health tracker.
This BLE smart-band contains a vibrator and has libraries available for iOS and Android to communicate with (eg. vibration control).It would be just AWESOME if my smart-band could vibrate when I enter a danger zone. Like that I would not have to always take a risk by looking down on my phone while driving.
A pattern could be defined for the vibrations. Like 3 vibrations = entering a…

Traze
I just recently stopped at a rest stop during a 5-hour drive to get some food. When I went in, I only went to the bathroom, then left, because an entire middle school was filling it up. Traze would be an add-on to the app that allows people to see whether or not a rest stop is crowded (Get it, Trays?)

prevent as well as report
Actually we can report several traffic problems on the roads traveled but the real goal for every Wazer is to avoid them.
Then allow us to add report from App always, tapping map on devices. Not only when we drive on that street but wherever we become aware of a problem to report. I wanna be promptly informed when I drive, I don't care from whom or what source. If a road is closed or there is bad weather or an accident and a home wazer is informed, I hope you can report it to me anyway, everywhere.2 votes -

Destination confirmation
. Destination always shown on map, may be on top of or in estimated time of arrival box, as a confirmation that correct destination has been entered? (Reason - sometimes Waze gives directions when driving that I personally would not have selected).
20 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

More accurate gps
The only reason I do not use waze more often is that the nevigation is delayed. Unlike google maps I cannot see exactly where I am on waze there is a 15sec delay. This confuses me and makes it harder to navigate and drive at the same time. By the time I pass the turn the gps shows me at the turn.

Group Navigation
Invite friends to join a navigation where once joined and the navigation is started everyone in the group can see the destination and individual locations are shared between each other. This would make Waze the Number 1 navigation app for all motorbike riders.

Messages are read aloud whilst driving
In Google maps whilst it is in Auto mode, it will read aloud any incoming messages (if turned on), so that I am informed of things without having to check them whilst driving, which is not allowed.

Add the garage with vehicles and settings
I would suggest you introduce the concept of garage. The possibility of adding your own cars to the garage, being able to describe the types of cars, and relate the navigation configurations to the vehicles. In this way, by choosing the vehicle used at that moment with a single button, all the navigation configurations will be automatically set.
For example, I use an electric scooter and with the scooter, I don't want to drive on the motorways, I want to avoid toll roads and I have the permits for restricted areas of the city.
However, when I use my old…5 votes -
Make an option to turn off suggested drives please
A lot of times when I’m selecting an address, waze will load one or two suggested drives on top of it and start navigating me there. I’ve driven to the wrong place several times because of this. We already have the “saved places” so it would be nice if we could turn off the suggestions.
2 votesGreat news! The option to turn off Trip Suggestion is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Move the Closure icon
The Closure button/icon is effectively hidden with the current UI design. Could it be switched with the Chat button/icon? I've never wanted to "chat" while driving, but have wanted to report closures several times.
