There needs to be a warning or verification process if an ad is clicked and the destination is changed!!!
The other day, I must have accidentally hit an ad and it changed my destination. There was no warning that my destination was changed. There was no "Click here again to confirm change of destination" warning. It just changed. I had no idea where I was going so I simply followed instructions. Because I didn't know where I was going I had no idea I was going completely in the wrong direction. I didn't realize it until it brought me to my destination. A Red Roof Inn 20 minutes from where I was supposed to be...causing me to be over 20 minutes late.
That is NOT OKAY! I understand the need for ads. I was in ad sales for 10 years so I even understand the concept of an ad with a "click here to go there now" feature.
But there needs to be a fail safe, especially if it is that easily swiped. (My phone was in my cupholder and I definitely didn't touch it with my finger. I might have hit it by accident but certainly nothing that should have been considered a click.)
I'm not an app/technology type person but even I can think of at least two fixes here that would probably be fairly easy and still advertiser friendly.
1 - You have to confirm when you delete an email. Why can't you make it necessary to confirm a destination change? That way, if someone accidentally hits it, they probably won't accidentally hit the confirm button also.
2 - Have the voice audibly say "Destination Changed". If someone hears that, they simply go back and reset their original destination.
I like Wayz over other apps. But if this every happens again I will be forced to use other services from here on out and I can't be the only one this has happened to.

תזכורת משולבת בהנחיות הקוליות לניווט
לנכדי, רועי סטוצקי בן ה-6, עלה רעיון לשלב בחודשי הקיץ אזכור ללגום מים מדי פעם. בנוסף, בנסיעות ארוכות, להציע הפסקת התרעננות וקפה. אשמח אם תיישמו.

Delhi state of India has initiated Odd Even System(means to reduce pollution in the city where odd and even cars are run on alternative days). I have designed an app specially to make odd even efficient.I would like google to buy the app idea and encourage Delhi government to introduce Odd Even as it will reduce pollution and traffic in the city and could be replicated in other city also.

You should verify the points of the Top 10 in each state and overall rankings. There is a high likelyhood that some are gaming the system.
You should verify the points of the Top 10 in each state and overall rankings. There is a high likelihood that some are gaming the system.
So I'm just saying that I really am proud of the points I've earned and the position I've obtained in the leaderboards; I really enjoy helping others.
But when I look at the top 10 overall and see that they have 63x more points then me, I wonder... is this even possible?
I've been a "wazer" for a very long while, and am quite active to post hazards etc. I know there are folks like truckers and such that definately use the program as well, but can it really be that they drive 63x futher than me?!!
Maybe! But I'm just wondering if you check or not.
Thank you,

UX for switching from navigation to alerts only
I use Waze every day. I also park in a garage every day. To that end, I go from navigation to alerts only and back, at least every day.
I would like you to look at the UX involved in swapping from one mode to the other. I think it should be easier to do this directly from the app - not from the menu below the main screen.
When I am navigating, I have to tap the bottom bar, open up the next screen, tap the speaker icon, select the alerts only switch, then hit close and close again.
I suggest that, while navigating, the bottom bar have a button for switching to alerts only directly from the bottom bar. tap to open the menu, tap to go to alerts only and close the menu. 2 taps total.
You have this interaction available when I am not navigating, now I want it when I am please.

Use the exisitng framework to allow
"On My Waze" - provide an option for a traveller to notify recipients(loved ones - clients - etc) where they are on their way home for the night or to an appointment.
Michelle (16, young driver) sets option to notify her parents when passing major landmarks on her way home late after sports practice.
Notifications reach her parents periodically:
"Taking highway 385 at exit 27."
"Got off 385 at exit 25."
"Stopped at Sharon's house." (drops her off after practice usually)
"Passing corner market on Fairview Rd"Clark (20, College student) - allows him to set notifications to be sent to mother when travelling home for holidays. He sets it a little less verbose than Michelle to notify when leaving major metro areas, but gets more precise as he gets closer to the destination.
Mindy (NA - Caterer) Sets notifications to be sent to the Maid of Honor for her client to let her know things are moving along and keep the bride calm.
The gist is an interface/framework to allow passive communication of progress on a voluntary basis. Thereby, keeping parents and concerned parties informed without hazardous texting while driving or the hassle of trying to update multiple recipients continuously responding to the cliché, "how far have you gotten?"

You want to stop by the rest erea and you miss the resting erea exit.

Correct navigation route to Santa Catalina
We always recommend our clients to use Waze for driving from Panama City (Republic of Panama) to Santa Catalina (Sona, Veraguas Province), however, we have recently received 4 reports from customers that waze directed them to drive up the PanAmerican highway to the Province of Chiriqui, and turn left at Guabala, then come back to Sona, then right to Santa Catalina, which takes 2 hours longer than taking a left at Santiago and going directly to Sona, then left to Santa Catalina. We would greatly appreciate it if you could reconfigure waze to direct customers through the shortest route (Santiago direct to Sona).
