It would be very helpful to be able to enter/edit Favorites on the Web page (My Dashboard), not just on the phone.

I'd like to see a feature where an editor could leave notes on the editing map for other editors to see. There are situations that call for comments/explanations. Otherwise other editors may try to fix something that was done intentionally. Could be similar to excel cell comments. I.e. a small icon that pops up when moused over or clicked.


Waze should embrace using public transit, not just routing cars

I think Waze should embrace the vision to route commuters via public transit options using transit route maps that are freely available online (Google Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) at http://code.google.com/p/googletransitdatafeed/wiki/PublicFeeds). The world is going green and one way to increase the Waze member base and reduce traffic (two goals that Waze has) is to encourage the use of light rail, buses, commuter trains, etc. This would also improve Waze's public image as not focused solely on driving but shows Waze has a grander vision to helping COMMUTE, not just DRIVE. I have developed complete details and will email the support@ email address within the next few days. Anyone else think this is a good idea?
