I would love to have the option to have a persistant compass show on the screen. Upper left would be great. Thanks!

In north-up orientation, your car avatar shows you your compass heading.

WIth all the requests for on-screen gadgetry, if implemented, there'd be no map to view. :)

I think Waze should include an altimeter/artificial horizon square in the middle of the display. That would be cool. ;)

If it were a preference settings, I'm all for it. As for being part of Waze's primary focus and that is to be a commuter app, it may not get a lot of traction.

Exactly. 50mm rounds remaining, missile lock status, that sort of thing. Buttons labeled "navigate" and "fuel" to activate the bullet screen and ejection seat would be a nice touch.
