Just tailgate them while texting warnings!

Guess what... they are always working on the next version.

Extremely slow at best.

Add a enhanced POI system such as hotels, restaurants, etc and you get an amazing tool to convince Wazers to use the app outside of their daily commute.

...and for the kids on the backbench there are quiz-questions every x km, like "What is that building on the left for?" or "How many different mountain-peeks can you count here?". Interface per voicerecognition, so they can shout the answers. Questions should be usermade, and a ratingsystem would filter out the bad ones. Best rated questions bring the most points to their creator.

All to be developed before the next holiday-season, please!

Yup, a "Park & Switch off" function makes more sense than a "Mute" that invites to keep Waze on (and silent) while you do your shopping.

How is that different from "add stop/category/gasstation"? It would also imply a "I am hungry"-button as a shortcut to "add stop/category/fast food".

Yes, dropping networkconnection causes the map to reload incomplete, and if you subsequently enter the white zone the wazeclient will start a recalculation. If you still are without connection to the routingserver the client will calculate a route based on the fragments of the map that are in memory and without actual trafficinformation. Such routes are always suboptimal... You can avoid white spots in your map by zooming in and moving the map around. All mapdata is then stored in memory and available when you enter a zone without reception.

If you do have a networkconnection and waze starts recalculation of a route (maybe because you left the planned route or because a road is not drawn precise enough in the map) the new route will always be the fastest based on your current location. If you calculate 3 alternatives you will see that the new route is always the #1 on the list. If you selected a different alternative the 1st time, that route is forgotten and history after a recalc.

A better solution would be to (let the client itself) calculate a short deviation to bring you back to the previous selected route. You are guided around the roadblock ahead of you but you keep the general direction of your route then. Alas, we have not heard that Waze is considering such an option.

I dunno if it's been suggested but i'd like to see something like yelp integrated to be able to add points of interest and rate them 1-5 stars with a brief description like places to eat, service stations, bars, and anything else would be awesome. Especially giving points to wazers who stop and eat or use the services and rate them as well. Would be especially useful for wazers who travel a lot and don't know there way around the new places could find the best place to eat fast.

Already possible by editing the schema files that you find in the skins subfolders.

I would like be able to turn this feature off. If I am going to work I would rather chose it manually versus always have to shut it down.

This is already possible. I do not have my phone near me now, so I cannot point you to it, but the option is called 'learn routes to my frequent destinations'.
