Reporting Queue
Can you please add reporting queue. When, e.g. I am traveling for 60 km's I get 5 or 6 reports per travel, but I want to simply record the location and use "Later" button to report it later (at destination, or gas station), but when I do this twice or more, the last report overwrites the previous one, so I can't post all problems (constructions, map errors, etc.).
I know, for example when I am reporting car at edge of road, this might be old information, but I want to use this option mainly for constructions, map errors, etc. where…

Improve the Waze iPhone API
Improve the Waze iPhone API. Currently only the features are available using he waze:// api:
http://www.waze.com/dev/documentation/The new google maps app has much much more capability:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/urlschemeI would love to be able to create a one tap navigate using waze link to all of my contacts in my address book. I can't do this currently because only queries are possible, plus the queries can't default to a specific search, further you can't navigate to a long/lat. for address which aren't known to waze... These would be very helpful!

Limited varible speed switch
Have a limited speed switch that the user can select, ie truckers in Europe are limited to 56mph some even limited to 52mph to give a more accurate arrival time, like TT have in their devices, arrival time is way out on Waze at present for us truck drivers!

Waze should reroute my drive when there is a accident and major backup, right? But it does not. Do I have a setting not setup correctly?

provide a Navigation Prompt whenever the road name changes.
This is needed in two scenarios:
When a turn from Smith Ave to Jones Street, for example, is slight enough the client provides no direction. No matter how slight the angle of entry to a new road is, the client should say "turn right" or "slight right" on the road with a different name than the current road. This is especially confusing if Waze is running in the background, since my eyes are telling me I'm at an interchange and Waze isn't providing direction.Also, when the road you are driving on changes names but continues straight in the same…

Add a brightness control to compensate in app for night driving and sunny days
At night I find my phone screen is to bright to have running, I alter this using the brightness in phone settings but this is a long winded excessive, would be better to have an in app slider or on screen button to control brightness or a 3 finger drag say up and down the screen would be amazing. This would work in the opposite during sunny days when a greater backlight is required.

STOP 180° car rotation when standing still
So I come to a stop light, and after a while, my car and map (not the screen) rotates, I guess, as it thinks I actually did make a U turn. Problem is my speed is 0km/h. It happens even when you have a destination to navigate to, and then, all of u sudden, I'm turned around and I'm being shown to make first to the right. I start driving, the whole thing rotates ones again, and I miss my left turn !?!?! I think it's because it get's a satellite position which shifted a bit, so it thinks that…

Improve the advanced warning pop-up
Currently when driving I get a warning for a hazard ahead, it has a "not there" and "thanks" button at the bottom. This box takes up about a quarter of the screen (and obscures about a third of the map) but does not contain any details. I have to then scroll the map until I see the hazard marker and tap it to see the details (which open in another pop-up). I can't dismiss the original pop-up because it is the only way to access the "not there" feature.
My suggestion is to remove the "not there" and "thanks" button…

Listening to Downcast and using Waze
Has anyone else experienced this? When using Waze and also listening to a podcast using the Downcast app, after arriving at the destination and then starting my next journey, I am no longer able to listen to the podcast. I have arrived at my destination and I stopped navigation. When I get back into the car and i resume listening to the podcast, i enter my next destination on Waze. Suddenly I am no longer able to listen to the podcast simultaneously.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Pick-up from friends list
From the friends list it would be great to be able to select pick-up. Then allow your target to get ETA and location info right in Waze.

Allow Social Network Reporting of Speedlimits to improve accuracy of speedlimit database
If you allow the user base to report speed limits it would be more accurate than having a static database of speed limits. Also there should be an option for "Variable Speed Limit" for places where the speed limit changes depending on traffic (for example, I-90 and I-5 in Seattle, WA have variable speed limits that range from 30 to 60 mph). There should also be a temporary construction speed limit option in areas where there is construction--you can pop up a verification screen so users to confirm whether the construction speed limit still applies once or twice each day.

road alerts popups at red light
Make road alerts more gentle. I mean, a big opaque window eats up half of the screen, and waze scrolls back and forth.
My idea:
* make the popup smaller (just pictograms, smaller fonts)
* make it translucent
* don't scroll, just zoom out a bit, and show the direction if it won't fit on the map (like a cartoon bubble)5 votes -
Privacy: Exposure Minimization Technique
A nice privacy enhancement would be to set this up so that when you are within a half mile, or (even better) within a user defined radius of your destination, to automatically go invisible. Another alternative would be to set it up so that if Δ(X,Y) is all within a small area - such as 10 feet to the toilet and 10 feet back (for those that can’t let go of the phone) that the client stops reporting user data.
I understand that the 2 minute delay is a way of mitigating privacy… However, my wife got home last night…

The time to reply when asked if hazard or police were at location. Need to add 10-15 second. Usually run out of time before hitting button.
The time to reply when asked if hazard or police were at location is too short Need to add 10-15 second. Usually run out of time before hitting button. People are going to drop way points a few seconds after the obstacle usually.

support alternative partitions: EXT, UDF (motivate SD Alliance policy change)
The risk of sdio / Sdcard corruption radically increases with respect to capacity (>16gigs).
SD association foolishly continues to mandate fat32 instead of defaulting/allowing EXT2 - EXT4 or newer.
relying on binary mysticism instead of publishing formatting parameters for command line
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
Yes, many leveling algorithms CURRENTLY geared for FAT32 but it would be mind numbingly simple to add both UDF- and EXT capacity to support reformatting/repartitioning ... or support for various file systems / volumes.
Take a moment to request support for at least both UDF- and EXT

EXT with journaling

choose navigation type on navigation screen and on route picker
To switch between Shortest or Fastest you have to go into settings->navigation->type and choose shortest or fastest. I often switch between these modes when picking my route so it would make sense to have that option available in the same screen as where the routes are chosen AND on the "navigate to" screen.
