Inclusive maps for color-blind people
I've been thinking of a problem Waze might find not that difficult to solve. Congestion leves are represented by different shades of colors, mainly yellows and reds. But lots of people around the world are color blind at some level, so the congestion colors are useless for them. I am suggesting that instead of simply using the plain shades of the colors, Waze star using hatched colors. This might be really helpful to a lot of people. Besides, this would help build an inclusive culture and policy.

Homeless
Some homeless agencies ask for homeless sightings so they can check on their well fare.
Request is to add a Homeless Button, so users can report sightings, and ability for an organization to filter map and monitor for 'homeless'.

Awards for People for Driving the Speed Limit
Many people drive above the speed limit and we've all got a speeding ticket at one time, but wouldn't it be cool to get rewarded when we do drive at or near the speed limit? Maybe waze can create a feature to award points based on how much time or mileage that we are compliant to the posted speed limit. And maybe even leverage companies like Starbucks to award good drivers with a coffee! It is especially critical that drivers obey the limit on residential streets, and maybe this could motivate and educate drivers to do so!!

Pay for Parking based on location/zone
Waze knows where I park and it would be really cool if I could just enter my credit card data and rely on Waze for automatic payment.
Maybe also navigate me to the best value parking lot and open the barrier for me :)

Accept all possible formats of GPS coordinates as destination
Let's do Waze more user friendly when entering GPS coordinates.
It would be nice if Waze would accept all possible formats of GPS coordinates (many www maps produce different formats of coordinates - usually with N/S, W/E letters - it is not user friendly always think how to transalte them into the only one current supported format...
I can imagine, that when using N/S, W/E letters even order of the longtitude and latitude can be switched, etc...24 votes -
Áreas de Risco, postos de combustível e estacionamento
Sugestão para:
1-Permitir marcarmos área de risco. Vez ou outra o waze manda entrar em Comunidades e ruas perigosas;
2-Na configuração disponibilizar "mostrar no
Mapa", postos de combustível e estacionamentos.Sobre área de risco, essa semana uma atriz da globo teve o carro baleado com percurso numa área perigosa.

התראה על רכב שמגיע ממול בכביש דו סיטרי
היי, חשבתי על הוספת נתון שתאפשר התראה על רכב המגיע ממול בכביש דו סיטרי.
לא פעם ולא פעמיים קורה לנו שאנחנו רוצים לעקוף רכב, אך לפעמים אין באפשרותינו יכולת לראות את הצד השני בשל ראות לקויה, תנאי כביש והדרך.
מכיוון שאפליקציית ווייז עובדת על ג'יפיאס, אפשר לעשות אפשרות במפה שתראה את התנועה לא רק בנתיב שלך אלא בנתיב ממול.
למרות שזמן תגובה של הווייז מהלווין למכשיר זה בערך 3 שניות, לפחות שתהיה התראה של כמה מאות מטרים, ככה אני מאמין שזה ימנע הרבה תאונות של אנשים שממהרים לעקוף ומסתכנים בתאונה.24 votes -
Add option to display Gas Stations (as clickable icons) on main map screen without having to use menu.
Add the option to display gas stations on the main map as clickable icons, without having to go through the several menus (i.e. menu > gas > list > map... and all the way back) to visualize surrounding stations and return to main navigation map.
Clicking the gas station icons on the main map view should allow users to "navigate" directly to the gas station and also update the fuel prices (if within range).
Showing gas stations on the main map view has two main benefits:
Updating gas prices to nearby stations becomes much easier.
The user will have the option to always be visually informed of where the nearest gas stations (and washrooms) are while driving. It therefore allows the user to drive to a nearby gas station visually (without having to touch the device), or they can click the icon to navigate to it directly.
Finally, if this is not feasible, I at least recommend having an option that makes the "Gas" menu selection show the gas stations in map view first (before list view). And also once in the "gas station" map view, there should be a quick way to get back to the main (navigation) map view. Currently you have to click three times (in the the top left) to get back to the main map view; on android this corresponds to clicking the < arrow next to "SEARCH RESULTS" then "AROUND YOU" then "NAVIGATE". That's far too much work just to get back and forth from the gas station map view.

Re-Organize Speed Trap Buttons
When editing the map a lot of stationary speed traps are reported but not approved. They are reported on positions where mobile speed traps (Police notifications) are / would be. As a user who only uses the client I would first go to speed trap and report it instead of reporting a police hazard. The result is, that this trap is not reported unless it is approved. Another button in the speed trap menu would help, for instance "mobile speed trap" with a time stamp. The same button can be shown in the police menu for the users who are used to it.
Also a possibility to warn against places frequently used by police for mobile speed traps would be nice (maybe connected to a counter). This would be helpful in areas with low waze user density and prevent the first from being the fastest.

Set existing favorite as "Home" or "Work"
Right now, you can only set "Home" and "Work" by searching for an address. Most of the time, New Zealand (and I'm guessing other international addresses too) do not return an accurate result.
The work around is to create another two favorites called home and work that are based off GPS position and use those.
As a user, it would simply make sense for Waze to allow me to set a favorite as my "home" or "work".

Integrate with cobra iRadar
Cobra has a radar detector that works with android and iphone. They upload/download radar locations for their own community. There may be an opportunity for the two companies to work together, and integrate with each other. Imagine: turn by turn nav, automatic traffic condition updates, user reported feedback of accidents and automatic reports of police radar points all in one cohesive application.

Feature Request "Adding Favorites via My Dashboard"
I think it would be great if we could add/edit/delete our Favourites via the "My Dashboard" instead of just on the phone. The commercial Product I have on my phone lets me manage all this via their Website.

App2sd support for waze android-version
Android-based mobile phones have started to get 2.2 (FroYo), which brought support for moving applications to SD card. Since Waze is quite a big application (~6 mb for me), it would be really good to be able to move it to the memory card.

Flock Camera Avoidance
I believe I understand the use case of the Flock Cameras; however, there is an alarming number of misuse cases all across America. Just as we can add toll avoidance, rail avoidance, etc., I ask to add Flock Camera avoidance. These cameras can be used to target bad actors, but due to misuse, good people are also targeted, which is not fair at all. If there is a way to create routes that avoid them altogether, I would like that.
