• I realize that the Waze does not offer the best routes based on traffic congestion between source and destination. I use a route between home and work where Waze always suggest alternative routes. Hence, why don't the developer come up with a recording function where I can record my route from start to destination and save it in my favourotes. This will allow me to select my favourite routes rather than Waze suggest a route for me (of course that can be put as an option). Bottom line, the reason why I use Waze now over Papago or Garmin is the information on traffic. On Malaysian roads, working days traffic jams are hell and you can loose half your life driving in the traffic jam. Hence, I always ask myself "Which route should I take? Would it be route 1 or route 2? But the problem now is, which has lesser traffic? Which will let me reach my destination faster? Hence, I can't seem to force Waze to use the route I take to work everyday, hence a recording function would be great where I can record the route, save it as my favourites, and on the day I want to use the route, I can view the traffic congestion on my favourite to see if I should be taking that one, OR I should be using one which Waze is suggesting instead. Bottomline, it is always about reaching the destination faster, less stressful in the most economical way possible. I believe this recording function can be done.
• There should be more options for alternate routes when choosing the "routes" option. I have 3-4 ways home from work all on minor highways or major roads, and I Waze never suggests anything other than two highway routes. TomTom always offers more suggestions.
• A killer feature would be expenses tracker. There is not much choice around here on iOS. A good example (web only) can be found at http://www.spritmonitor.de/en/. If adding a GPS position to tank, you eventually could build an awesome database :) - laacz: +1
• It would be very helpful to be able to enter/edit Favorites on the Web page (My Dashboard), not just on the phone. - sibejan: +1 - fredomx: +1
• 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? - sibejan: +1 (Really great idea!)
• It would be nice to have some mechanism to see the location of specific wazers (that have agreed to allow you to see their location) instead of just searching a map for them. This would make it easy to see how far away somebody is who is meeting you without interrupting them while they drive. Obviously, this would need to be done carefully due to privacy concerns. - sibejan: +1
• I think it would be a great idea to allow users to track specific driving mileage. For instance I drive for a living. It would be nice to have Waze track my work mileage so I didn't have to keep a manual mileage log. I could access my milage log from the web site and print it out to turn in with my taxes. - sibejan: +1 - laacz: +1 - NinjaKid2002 +1
• #UI | It would be great to see this wishlist a little more clear and organized. Perhaps something like voting would help everybody as well. (therefor, as a little contribution) i used the bullets, the +1's and the tags) Anyone (webapp-)suggestions? - e.g. something like workflowy.com)
• #walking #cycling | I would love to use this nav.on my bike as well as walking. In that case you should be able to tell waze your transportation-type, so you can use other (carunfriendly) routes.
• #usability #mileage | The 200 miles restriction for planning navigation is urging me to continue using Navigon... ("Apologies - we can only provide routes under 200 miles at this. We're working on increasing it")
. #usablility Provide a way to mute audible warning that accompanies the pop up alert. This would allow user to listen to for example a podcast or Pandora via the car speakers while using waze and not get interrupted by an audible alert every few seconds. The pop up still provides the visual cue to alerts.
- I was thinking the other day about how this app could help me plan out my fuel station stops (every 325 miles) on long trips. Could you add a feature to suggest Gas Stations before hitting the big "E"? Thanks! -Phil
