Some suggestions that I have for the sky bar that resides at the top of the 3D map:
- A weather bar could effectively show what driving conditions that lie ahead without switching to a standalone weather app. This could either be for the current location or the destination location or some user defined interval that lies on the route ahead. It should be kept fairly simple, but should have different graphics for events like fog, snow, rain, cloudy, sunny, ect. Maybe a temperature gauge could also be implemented, but I feel this is little of a reach.
- A minor improvement maybe the true location of the sun (day mode) within the sky bar in conjunction with the weather bar.
- A minor improvement maybe the displaying of the current phase of the moon (night mode) within the sky bar in conjunction with the weather bar.
- A minor improvement maybe the incorporation of a primitive compass for smart phones that have accelerometers and compass capabilities.
These are a few ideas/suggestions that I have thought of that may help make the product more robust and help with safety and situational awareness. Keep up the good work on an already great product!
I could not find a rule book for using Waze such as when you get the pop up with entering too many items in a period of time. What is that period of time? Also if I am not going to get the points then it still should show the icon to warn other Wazer's. How is my rank increased beside the reports and bonus points? Sorry if this is shown somewhere and i did not see it. The Hazard icon under "shoulder" should say Vehicle as not just "cars" are stopped. The Hazard icon under "shoulder" should add Construction as they work there also. The Hazard icon under "on road" should have Vehicle as they can be stuck on the road or lane.
