Waze client menu not entirely displayed on the screen!
I cannot understand why my Menu popup is not completely displayed on my screen though space is wide enough to accept this (Samsung Galaxy S3 ) I only get the 2 upper rows of icons, but the lower one (Reports, My Friends and Settings) is truncated.As a result, I have to slide the menu up before being able to select "Settings" for example.
Do other users have the same behavior for their client?2 votesHey,
We're happy to share that this idea is already live!
Thanks!

Búsqueda de sitio
En donde yo vivo es muy difícil aparcar porque no hay sitios libres. De media estoy entre 35 y 50 minutos. Estaría muy bien que en la APP Waze también hubiese la opción de buscar aparcamiento y señalar cuando dejas un sitio libre y para poder escoger uno u otro que apareciese el tiempo desde que se indica que el usuario abandona su lugar de estacionamiento dejándolo libre.

Make the top choice on the main 'Drive To' screen be your last chosen location.
Whether it's because I cancelled navigation or, much more likely, the server erred out when routing, I constantly need to choose the same location as the last one I chose. If it was three or four pages down on my 'Saved Locations' page this can be quite a hassle—and a bit dangerous—to do while driving.
I'd propose that when you press the 'Drive To' button the top choice on the list is whatever the last location chosen was until that destination is reached.

record my present location like favorite
now it's difficult to add favorites.
I think, it's would be great to be able to add our location like a new favorite location.
People are use to be in their favorite locations2 votesThis can already be done today…
On touch screen you have to do a long press on your location (or any location on the map) and you will see the option to save it.
On non-touch you just need to hit the main button (usually “OK” or “enter”) and this will allow you to save the location.If you feel like this description is not good enough, please write to alpha@waze.com

Suggestion for New Waze Feature - Avoid Bad Roads
Hey Waze Community,
I've got an idea for a feature that could make our driving experience even better, especially for those of us dealing with bumpy roads in the north.
How about a "Avoid Bad Roads" option on Waze? Our roads often get rough due to changing seasons, and it takes a while for the city to fix them. With Google's advanced sensing capabilities, why not use that data to detect road conditions like bumps and potholes?
This feature could help us choose routes that prioritize smoother rides. Additionally, we could have a city-specific ranking system highlighting the worst road…
