    $0 tasker alternative: Llama

    F/oss option: omnidroid

    I have a tasker license. That does me no good with miui ROM :(

    Expect it more challenging to exit waze since google purchase. I hacked deep settings to kill EVER PRESENT network location "service" -- maps prior to v 5.3 are not plagued such in gingerbread, but I'm not regressing. I run sans google framework; i prefer battery longevity ; i value my privacy

    Privacy is not a commodity. Privacy is a right: essential to liberty

    Have you tried using report map error functions? This will allow map editors update navigation potentials

  4. Add Electric Charging station location info.

    Don't WASTE development effort on this as these vehicles are a BURDEN to society

    Self evidently its proponents leech from others

    If anything waze ought be the platform promoting hydrogen fueling stations.

  5. When I hit the park button, make it so that I can find my car later (with an arrow and distance) so I can find my car.

    This will only be reliable for short drives.

    How lazy are you?

    Waze has licensed an EXCELLENT tts provider. It would only be better if they licensed AT&T TrueVoice

    You people are asking for a huge distraction from developer time

    20 meters is too generous

    Constrain submissions to

    NINE meters

    Some phones cannot offer such a low error rate: they shouldn't be submitting map updates!

  10. dead reckoning (when neither data nor GPS available)

    BlueGPS is available on F-droid dot org f/oss repository. Freedom FROM adware. All adware is malware: gross mistreatment of your privacy to profit developer; the google/Facebook profit source.

    Safely Driven Quickly commented  · 

    On Android allow BOTH native location provider and mock location

    BlueGPS allows external GPS receiver to be published via mock location (or override native gps, but the latter only allows one GPS provider)

    iOS needs an update to allow external gps receiver

    Android can use Bluetooth or usb to connect to supplemental GPS receiver. Sirf chipsets currently provide the best NMEA sentence customization options.

    Some GPS receivers provide faster cold start fixing. Some provide that and SBAS (WASS / egnos), and some receive GLOSNASS birds also.

    Overall less battery drain than built in gps.
