I really like Waze, but...
I really like using Waze, but I have a number of suggestions:
1. When I'm being routed, I really only care about events on the route I'm following. While I may have some interest in something happening on a freeway across the Bay, it's unlikely. Show me what I will encounter. I'll bet it will cut down on network traffic.
2. You used to show alerts in general while I'm going slow or standing still. I don't mind you warning me of an accident up ahead, I don't care if there's a visible cop somewhere behind me. Plus I can no longer see the map.
3. When I'm reporting a hazard on the road, it would be really nice if one of the hazards was a vehicle stalled in a lane. And it would be nice if I could choose right/middle/left lane. Those behind me would certainly appreciate it.
4. It would be nice to have a couple of configurable buttons above the vehicle speed so if I like to report stalked vehicles or a speed trap, I can do so without having to drill down through menus. Others may wish to configure the buttons for warnings appropriate to their area.
5. Starting to lock up often enough that its becoming a PITA.
Mine is an Android phone.
Ok, got it off my chest.
I love Waze!
