    $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

    Driving instructions and alerts

    OUGHT interrupt music and
    OUGHT interrupt calls

    Don't end calls, but pipe waze audio into calls

    I prefer to be not-lost

  3. How about annoucing police or traffic jams by voice instead of pop ups.

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

    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.

  6. 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!

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

    The gpsritter comment is pure FUD (extrabogus)

    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.

  14. police: trailing/leading (in motion vs stationary)

    Waze could improve accuracy by allowing those in waze groups around inane-law enforcement officers or highway patrols.

    Leading- and trailing, and in same wolf pack ... to reduce reporting- and publishing delay

    Reports should be weighted with respect to trustworthiness or consistent reliability (and negatively weight falsely reporting not-there)

    Speeding has everything to do with fuel efficiency ESPECIALLY with the NEEDLESSLY high cost of fossil fuels (biochemical solar energy storage) -- weak domestic energy policies must be corrected in favor of citizens. And poorly managed cities ought not be fleecing employed commuters

    Safely Driven Quickly commented  · 

    This should tie into speed trap reporting groups
