Problem pushing directions bluetooth from android to car speakers
Waze has been my fav for a long time because it pushed spoken directions from all my iPhones to the car speakers via bluetooth. It seemed to do this by tricking my radio (Kenwood) into thinking a call was coming through. Pretty crafty. But since the latest iPhone update that messed up other things regarding bluetooth, Ive gotten an android phone. Now the waze app on android won't push spoken directions to the car speakers when the radio is set on (radio). It seems like a big safety issue since when in the car its hard to hear the little…

Remove social networking features
Not sure whey Waze felt it necessary to add all of the social networking features (I'm speaking of facebook and twitter here, not the shared information about traffic speeds and road hazards). I am not a big fan of facebook and don't care to share information that way. Waze used to be a great navigation app. I urge you to return to your home base. Leave facebook to facebook.

Report pin
Suggestion: allow for hazard report on map pin drop.
Often times we pass construction or road hazards by the time we have an opportunity to report them.13 votes -
Indicate both start and end of roadworks / traffic
For users that mark the beginning or roadworks / traffic, leave up an icon that they can press to indicate the end of the traffic. From this, work out how long it took me to get through the zone and pass on the info to other users.

Use accelerometer to detect and report on bumpy roads, and offer option to route around them
Use the device's accelerometer to detect bumpiness in the road the user is currently driving on. Send this data to Waze, then use collective data on road bumpiness to offer a routing option so that users can favor driving on smoother roads. Possibly also tie into the existing systems to report/show potholes or road hazards.

Add police alert on nearby roads
If the alert (police, traffic jam) is not on the road Waze users are driving on, there is no way to indicate that. For example if I drive on a road that is near a highway and there is an accidant on the highway there is no way to report it.
It would be nice to let users tap on the map to indicate the place of the alert. If no tap, it means that the place of the alert is the actual place.13 votes -
Add Bus stops.
We're already able to mark parking spots. I'd like to be able to mark where a bus stop is (maybe with route/bus names), be able to toggle it on/off the map and be able to search for it.

Disable face proximity sensor.
The face proximity sensor is enabled. Since I place my iPhone in the console of my vehicle, every time I move my hand down to perform an action, the display goes black. I have to gingerly reposition my hand before I can do anything.
I suggest disabling the face proximity sensor while in an operational mode. If necessary, you can enable it right before going to a phone call (if not speakerphone).
iPhone 4, iOS 6.0.1

Custom Road Hazard tags
Allow for custom Road Hazard labels. The current selection is quite general, but it would be nice to have the ability to pre-create custom hazard tags for those times when adding a description isn't possible.

My Rank and the scoreboard
I'm bummed that you only show the top 50 wazers on the scoreboard. I'm ranked 299 (kinkstone) currently and I want to see the spread of points above and below me.
Please add a pair of options at the top of the list (where you show all v. state and all times v. weekly) where I can choose between "top" or "around me". When showing the scoreboard around me, show the 50 wazers with me centered in the list.
That way I can see the movement and score distribution of people like me.

Show more navigation instructions when losing GPS signal
It would be nice if the client could show more than the next turn (on the screen) when driving by navigation and the GPS signal is lost.
The next turn is shown in green on the bottom left corner, and the 3 following driving instructions could show up in orange above this when GPS signal is lost.
If there is a speed cam between two of the next turns, is should also show up in this "navigation list".

Add intelligence to traffic jam detection
Often users parked will cause a false traffic jam to be reported, yet when stuck in traffic it is usual to be crawling or moving occasionally.
When Waze detects traffic conditions and pops up the question of whether you are in traffic please change the default response dependant on whether the vehicle has been moving or not. If it has been totally stationary please set default response to 'No' as in a total traffic jam the driver will most likely spot the dialogue, only use 'Yes' as the default action when there has been some movement which is much more…
