Hello.
Way back, I stopped using Waze for a number of reasons...
I got back to Navigator, from Google, which is close to perfection...
But many months have come and gone, and I decided to give Waze another try....
It's better than before, but further work is needed...
These things really annoy me:
- There's no real difference between roads that have traffic report from the ones that do no have them... Why is this annoying?, simple: if a see a non-coloured road, right now it may mean "no traffic jam", but also could be "no traffic info about this road"... I understand that right now only the jams are reported, but many times I got on the freeway and got stuck because no previous reports where avaiable, and everything looked good on Waze... You should consider color coding these situations... Maybe green where actual reports say that traffic flow is fluid?... And then leave the non-coloured code to the roads where no traffic data is available...
- When I'm stopped at a traffic light, many popups appears warning me about traffic reports from a 5km radius (I set it up that way)... Information displayed on this screen is not really accessible... I mean, there's a box that basically takes the entire screen, and in the back you 'can see' that the map relocates to the area where the jam is... Information about the location is pretty scarce too: "moderate traffic at some street near some neighborhood"... I think it would be better if the legend was smaller, and we could ACTUALLY SEE the MAP... We would then be able to see how many blocks are affected, and such things...
- I'd like WAZE to be more autonomous... For instance, if i'm on a highway where speed limit is 80 km/h, i'd like waze to automatically start warning if I'm doing 40-50 km/h, with no human intervention... Also, would really like that when i report something, most information would came from Waze history, and not from me... For instance, I'd love to just press "report - traffic jam", and then Waze would compute the level of warning depending on information I'm sure it has (like average speed, route, and such)...
I'm not a big fan of using the cell while driving...
So when I use a GPS, I expect it to be smart enough to limit my input as much as possible...
I still think Waze has a great potential... =)
Cheers.
