update alerts for other side of road
I would like to be able to update alerts on either side of the road as no longer there, not just the side of the road I'm traveling on. Just like how Waze currently asks if a hazard is still there if it's in my traveling direction, it'd be nice to be able to click on a hazard or alert on the opposite side of the road and delete it if it's no longer there or relevant.
Also, what happened to reporting hazards/traffic on the opposite side of the road after this newest android update? It's awful! It needs to immediately be brought back! I don't know whose bright idea it was to remove it, but it really messed things up. I'm CONSTANTLY driving by construction or heavy traffic in the other direction that isn't reported, and I can't!
And when it comes to updating gas prices, I understand the new look of spinning a wheel to the number you want looks really cool, but it's made it so much more tedious. It liked it much better when my numerical keyboard popped up and I could just type in the numbers, not trying to spin a wheel and hopefully get it right. What a pain!
I LOVE Waze! I really do! I don't know what I'd do driving without it! But this newest update is a real PAIN. Sorry. I would love the chance to get 5 mins to suggest changes to the developers (adding speed bump and rail road crossing alerts, being able to report alerts on an intersecting road like you can report road closures on intersecting roads)

Display alternative ETA's at junctions
When I'm driving towards an intersection junction along my route with several route alternatives, I would like a feature that displays hor much longer those alternative route choices are.
Why?
1) My commute has several alternative route choices that differ in meters and seconds.2) The first Waze default route choice is not always best.
3) Sometimes I can plan my route better than Waze, and don't always choose the Waze route.
4) Sometimes I prefer some variety in my daily commute.
5) Sometimes I want to choose a different route just so I can see something different.

dangerous places
You should create a database with dangerous places, risk locations, and places near this places. When the user sets his destination, the app would ask him if the adress is correct, and tells him that the place he is trying to go is considered to be on a risk location or near it, and if there are streets with the same name on the city, ask him if he perhaps selected the wrong address.

Addind a "Facing the opposite direction" button
When I get to the car, many times Waze suggest a route in the oposite direction of how the car is parked. This causes a major time loss as the app needs time to realize I'm headind the opposite way, recalculate and offer a new route. Therefore a banner "facing the opposite lane?" is necessary and would upgrade the app signifully.
Sorry for my English.19 votesThank you for this suggestion.
Setting the Car’s direction when starting the app and navigation is a known matter which will be addressed in the future.
There are many complexities in location tracking which cause this issue and hold us from providing a solution.
It’s currently on the back burner, but definitely a part of the backlog. -
Seria de grande utilidade de assim como é possivel informar localização da policia,informar também locais perigosos onde ocorrem assaltos.

Report abuse
I got behind a user the other day that was constantly reporting nonsense. Assumingly to amass more points. How about the ability to report abusers or if nothing else, block reports from certain users

Route Tracking Recorder Functionality
Implement a RTR(Route Tracking Recorder) Functionality.
Say you have this path you like to do every now and then. Activate the RTR and drive until your destination, once there, deactivate RTR. Done! Waze has recorded that route you just drove and saved it.
Ok... what now? Well, you can:1) Use it once again;
OR (where it really shines :)
2) share it to a friend, so that person will know that special route you did to save time from traffic.
Had this idea after a colleague had to follow me until certain point of my daily route to cut most traffic of her route.

Dim the Screen to Stop Screen Burn In
Waze is great but it loves to burn images of the buttons into my phone screen. A dimming option when not in use would save battery and stop this burning problem.
19 votesThank you for your suggestion!
The Report button was designed to be noticed while blending in and it’s important to keep it as is.
However, we will revisit this idea when working on Dark mode, in the future. Furthermore, since this is a physical issue that OLED phones suffer from in different apps, we recommend to use Battery Saver mode to allow your display some rest from bright colors that might lead to this dysfunction.

Add divided street option
Waze doesn't differentiate when a street has a median that blocks the ability to get to a destination. Add another option similar to elevation or direction but that requires Waze to navigate to the other driving direction for the street. This would allow editors to update Waze streets without having to split them for the same functionality.

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 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.

Please add a satallite mode to your app plus walking/biking distance as well. Other then that it's a great app.
