  1. Recalulate Route Button / Bird's Eye Route / I'm On This Route Button

    Seems like there are lots of these that get one or two votes and die the way of the dodo just like I will assume this suggestion will do. Although the idea behind Waze is social-traffic guidance it doesn't do the commuter a lot of good when they are in route on a multi-lane interstate in the middle of rush hour(s).

    We all give permission for Google/Waze/everyone to know our location so use that information to know that we are on the route and recalculate the traffic speeds based on our movement and feedback on our phones.

  2. automatic accident

    If your car comes to a sudden halt or veers off course dramatically and unexpectedly, have waze pop up with a message asking if you have been in a accident. The message must stay for 5 seconds, and if you do not cancel it or press the "NO" button, it automatically alerts a nominated friend and sends them the last known location

  4. Add authorized Vehicles only entrances on highways to map

    When driving on a highway where the two directions have land in between them and often there are many trees in that area, it would be good Sea on the map where the entrances are for authorized Vehicles only that go from one side of the highway to the other side of the highway. This is often where maintenance Vehicles Park and also law enforcement vehicles. It is often hard to see if there are any vehicles parked there until you actually pass the area especially if there are a lot of trees there.

  5. Finnish voice navigation

    My family and friends would be interested in trying Waze, but they would need Finnish voice in addition to the Finnish UI. Their English isn't so well and that makes them use other navigation solutions that do support Finnish.

  7. No shutdown when screen off

    Hello,

    I read that waze automaticatly shutdown itselves if it detects it is used in background

    However this could be helpfull if we can set "on" or "off" this option. For exemple, with my phone I prefer to shutdown the screen to save the battery (I toggle the screen on when I want to see or inform about something) . But by this way waze shutdown itself

    May it be possible to make it as an option in a futher version ?

    Yours sincerely

  8. Use a friends live gps signal as destination

    You can Share you Destination with a Friend if you connect by Facebook.

    But what if you want to see where he stopped, like a gas station or something. or he decides to drive somewhere different.

    It would be nice to choose your friend as a destination so when the friends phone updates its location that is the new destination for yourself. This idea needs refining i guess. But basically so you can follow your friend if you drive together, to not lose the other one! or the group!

  9. Choose time of reports before calculates the route

    The ability to choose what old time has to be a report to be considered in my route. For example, if anyone has reported that last hour was traffic on a road, it is not said that there is even now, indeed probably there is not traffic now and so it is not necessary to calculate an alternate route. So it would be useful to have a possibility to set a parameter that filters on what must be a recent report so to be considered eg. in the last 30 minutes, in the last 15 minutes.

  13. Are you using your seat-belt?

    When start the app, waze could ask the driver if he is using seat-belt. The goal is to increase driver safety and avoid fines.

  14. Rendre persistante les alertes sur toute la longueur de la zone de danger

    Rendre persistante les alertes sur toute la longueur de la zone de danger.

    Bonjour je pense que les alertes pour les dangers sur l'appli ne sont pas assez persistantes. ce qui fait que parfois on peut passer à coté d'une alerte. L'idée serait donc de pouvoir avoir le maintien de l'alerte sur toute la longueur de la zone de danger et que cette alerte ne disparaisse plus au bout de quelques secondes. De plus une couleur plus voyante tel que du rouge serait un vrai plus pour les bandeaux d'alertes.

  15. App starts in dashboard menu

    It would be useful if the app, once opened, went to a dashboard or menu which allows selection of one of many options. Currently it opens right to the map and suggests where I might be going based on previous habits. I would rather have that option available along with other options such as a general search, favorites, home, work, gas, etc. This could easily be done with 6 or so large icons to keep the screen clean. This would also avoid the need to multiple selection when going somewhere other than the defaul that's pops up on the screen.

  16. love the app - HATE THE MICROPHONE POP UP PAGE AND IT'S FUNCTION

    1.) The microphone feature sucks. You can't listen to music or talk or anything without it being summoned.
    2.) The app forces you to go to settings even when you don't want the feature, over and over, which is not just unbelievably annoying but SUPER DANGEROUS. You have to keep denying the settings link which takes your eyes off the road and also blocks vision with the app. IT'S HORRIBLE. It's so bad that I don't think I'll even use the app anymore which sucks because i really love it. IF PEOPLE DONT WANT TO USE IT THEN DONT FORCE…

  18. Horse-riding

    It would be great if you could mark yourself as a slow-moving hazard for other Wazers to be alerted to on their screens as they drive.

    Imagine you are riding a horse on a narrow country lane. Considerate drivers slow right down when passing riders on horseback to avoid spooking the horses.

    If you could declare yourself a rider on horseback, and had your phone with you then other Waze users could be alerted to your presence well before rounding the very last corner and needing to brake suddenly.

    This could reduce accidents between horses and cars.

  20. Waze maps to closest street instead of named street

    I have noticed a few times lately that Waze seems to map the directions to the closest street to the gps point of the address, which is not always the same as the street the address is on. This means, for instance, that where there are houses which are set back from the street, Waze often maps to a neighboring street instead of the correct street, because it's closer to the marker.

    In one residential neighborhood with houses set back from the street, one address is mapped to a nearby condo complex behind the house. Another house is mapped to…
