Show "merge" when road name changes
Some paths go on roads crossing city boundaries and the road changes or the road only goes in one direction but the road name changes, it would be nice to see an arrow with name change.
Some paths go through a ramp or lane merge that do not show because it is the only path possible, but the name of the road changes, or the direction (turning right since it is the only possible route) which is misleading when you know you have to turn right but Waze says the next turn is left.

I tried to add house numbers on my street, and I can't save them because they are not in the order Waze wants. They are correct though!
I tried to add house numbers on my street, and I can't save them because they are not in the order Waze wants. They are correct though! How can I increase my rank in map editing to be able to force this when I can't edit the map to increase my rank??

Enable/disable "Standby" via slide lock or confirmation pop-up.
The new "Standby" function is not as friendly as I thought it would be. Lets say you've arrived at your destination and have placed Waze on standby and a few seconds later, you realize that you've got a new destination you want check up on (ETA? Location?) or you just want check your settings...
ERRR!
In order to access anything on the Waze app, it will trigger your device's GPS feature and if not mindful, your battery will pay the price (drain!).Lie my subject title suggests... a slide-to-confirm standby, ON/OFF button, would be great.

Send the driver intermittent reminders to do Kegel exercises!
Kegel exercises consists of repeatedly contracting and relaxing the muscles that form part of the pelvic floor. THese are easy to do, and benEficial in both men and women. Kegel exercises may be beneficial in treating urinary incontinence in both men and women and can increase sexual gratification in men and women.These exercises are easy to do...but just as easy to forget to do. I am suggesting that there be an option that WAZE reminds the driver to squeeze! I drive so much, and reminder to do my Kegels would come in handy!

Update the Reports list screen without having to leave it and display it again
I like to use the report list view instead of the map view. The distances to the reported items should be updated in real time as I am getting nearer or further. Currently the list is static.

Turn reminder if been on road with no turns for a while
I was on a road that had no turns for about 10 miles and then missed my turn as had not looked at Waze for some time. I have notifications off but thought would be a good idea to set Waze so that if you have not turned for some time could get it to make a noise or something to remind you of the turn up ahead.

I wish to present a new an fundamental to existing Waze functionality
The development will significantly enhance the Waze offering in terms of functionality and the ability to monetize its offering.
It complements existing versions but takes it to a new level and functionality.
I woul request a contact point with Waze management to discuss the initiative.
It's certainly not a an option to discuss via a forum or a discussion group.
Regards,
Gerald Maguire.

Ability to Submit Report from Notification Shade
When Waze is in the background, the only option in the Notification Shade is to "Switch Off". It would be nice to also have a button that would bring you straight to the Report options (i.e, Police, Road Hazard, etc...). This would make it easier to contribute while using other prevalent driving apps like a music player.

Follow my drive web map should show alerts too
During Follow my Drive, your alerts and comments should be broadcasted too. Many times you're driving ahead of a group, and they want to know how the road conditions are. If your alerts appeared on the FMD web, they could see what you're reporting.
Maybe simply use the real time waze map instead of a blank map, so you can see alerts. Don't forget to include the feature for world.waze.com too and not just for the regular US waze.

Change the name of follow my drive menu category
When I want to share my drive, I have to go to menu - Send - Share my drive.
The menu category should be called "share drive" or something other than "send". Most people see it and say "send... send what?", and don't get it. A more descriptive name on that menu would help.

"Friend Driving" Notification Should Be Adjustable Based On Distance
I don't need Waze to tell me that my friends in New York City or Miami are driving when I am in Toronto, Canada (unless, I guess, if they have set a route to come to Toronto). Waze should allow us to specify how far away a friend can be that it will notify us of the fact that they're driving.

During long distance travel "Add a Stop" feature spreads options (eg cafe) too widely apart without asking for more input as to which side of travel this Added Stop would be searched for.
I have done long routes in the past and half of the Stops that it finds are near my end point far in the distance and unnecessary for what I'm looking for at the time.
So an additional question "Close, or futher down" OR "Within the next _miles or _ minutes " would get better results for folks looking for a good stop either now or…

Add a setting to eliminate events
There is a setting to limit the number of events to On route only, 5 miles, 10 miles, etc, but there is no way to completely eliminate event pop ups. This is very annoying as I use my phone to listen to music and every time I get a n event pop up, the music stops for a few seconds. Please create and option to have no event pop ups.
Thank you.
