Please add the ability to search for closest poi to my current route.
If I am already driving using your app, I would like the ability to search for food, a bank, or a coffee shop not too far off my route. You guys already calculate the time off route but if you add my suggestion it would make your app that much better.

Dynamic reporting buttons
It would be great to have the report buttons to
dynamically reorder according to highest usage. This could be on a per person or per region or all Waze basis.
I personally use the construction, vehicle stopped, and police reports the most.Preselect most commonly used options (e.g. type of hazard)
Dynamically create favourite buttons at the front of the list for the user's most commonly made reports.

Stop auto refreshing and zooming back in when I am trying to zoom out and see all of the possible routes to my destination...
Stop auto refreshing and zooming back in when I am trying to zoom out and see all of the possible routes to my destination... Going from city to city there are different routes. I must zoom out to look at the path they take. ...but this app zooms back to my car location as soon as I zoom out. It makes picking the best route a blind guess instead of something better.

Please add word wrap to map chat events
When someone posts a map chat the full message can't be viewed by other drivers because the text display only shows one line. Please let the display wrap text to show the full message.

I get many times into roads that marked with this or that level of traffic jam, while the road is clear. You should add "ROAD CLEAR" button
I get many times into roads that marked with this or that level of traffic jam, while the road is clear. You should add "ROAD CLEAR" button to allow drivers to report each other about New & Clear Road Conditions (not only hazards on road and or traffic jams).

Update gas prices in Germany automatically
Since August 1st 2013 all gas stations in Germany have to report their gas prices in realtime to the "Bundeskartellamt" an independent competition authority. These prices can be integrated into navigation clients. There are already a number of apps that make use of this important feature. Would be very helpful if that could be integrated into waze.

Additional reporting options.
Two immediately spring to mind:
1. when reporting a weather hazard, it would be great to be able to report "sunstrike".
2. the only way to report a stopped car is as an object on the side of the road. The only hazards on the road are things like construction. I have had multiple occassions where I have come across a vehicle stopped on the road. These have not been an accident, rather they have been due to breakdown. An option in the "on road/in lane" category to advise of a stopped vehicle would be great.I love the app though. I use it all the time, and it works fantastically. Thank you.

Live traffic information from Government and Community sources
Some countries, states and governments provide an official traffic information feed that can be viewed by the community.
The RTA (Roads and Traffic Authority) in Australia provides information in a news feed based on area, that are contributed to by the RTA, police, fire, ambulance, state emergency services, and the community in general.
Im not sure of other countries setups, but it would be nice to implement some already available sources of official traffic conditions that could be viewed in waze and notfy the users of the problems.
The RTA information page about the system is here
http://livetraffic.rta.nsw.gov.au/desktop.html#aboutIt i just an rss feed you can subscribe to... eg
http://livetraffic.rta.nsw.gov.au/traffic/rss/reg-north.atomSeeing as in the feed the reported problems have locations, maybe waze could use the feed based on the location name, and anyone traveling to that area will be notified.
Or perhaps there is a better way to implement it that i dont know of, but the information provided is very useful.

Weather Icons instead of Hazard Icons on Map
Weather reports show up as Hazard icons. While it does say what the weather condition is below, it is not easy to read if you are driving in bad weather. It would be nice to see weather icons reported by other Waze users.

Add a "Can't do that !" button
Sometimes, Waze tells me to take a road and I can't, because it is blocked for construction, or because of a map error (road recently became one-way). When I pass the road, Waze recalculates and often, tells me to make a U-turn and take that same road. Which I still can't.
When Waze tells me to turn where I can't, I'd like to be able to press a "Can't do that" button which would have 2 effects :
- Report a "Wrong driving instructions" map problem.
- Recalculate an other way to reach my destination, without this particular road.19 votes -
Use contacts
When suggesting Waze to people I know, why can't I just select them from my contact list? The Android contact list is also a great way to find groups. Please support it.

Add stops
Before, it was possible to add multiple stops on Waze, and this is important for me since I work with deliveries. However, after the latest updates, it's only possible to add a single stop. On top of that, instructions like "turn right," "turn left," and "roundabout" are no longer being spoken, which makes using Waze impractical and forces me to rely on Google Maps. Please bring back the feature to add multiple stops because, even on the slowest day, I have seven consecutive deliveries to complete. I live in Brazil, where security is terrible if not nonexistent and having to sit in my car, parked in an unfamiliar area, typing an address is dangerous.

hide street name
Good morning,
Would it be possible to create an option to hide the street name? At certain intersections, the purple sign hides the white arrow. Additionally, with Android Auto, the street name is already indicated. Sincerely. RR18 votes -
Switch between editor profiles on different servers (NA - ROW - IL)
For those of us who edit on more than one server, it would be really helpful if we could easily switch between servers on our editing profile. I edit in both NA and ROW. My editor profile shows the server for the last place I edit (except sometimes it takes a day or so of editing in the other environment for my profile to switch), which makes it difficult to find the last place I edited on the other server.
I can make a whole string of edits in Laos, make one edit in the US . . . and not be able to go back and see where I left off in Laos . . . or the other way around.
There used to be a script that allowed me to easily switch between servers, but that "broke" when "something" changed in the software, and does not seem to be "fixable."
This is really frustrating!

Allow us to create customizable single press shortcut button for hazard reporting etc.
Too many steps to press while driving to report hazard etc can be dangerous. Why not allow users to create a customizable single press shortcut button for reporting car on shoulder or object on road instead of multiple steps of pressing buttons to get to the final issue. ie. not needing to press Hazard and then having to search the type of hazard in the small phone screen while driving. A single shortcut would be much easier. The most commonly used report for me is car on shoulder so why not just allow me to create that single shortcut.
