If you tap on the speedometer the map is moving. The more you tap, the more the map is moving away !

Map chat do not stay on screen when not sent.
To reproduce :
1) Tap on bottom right button and select Map chat (see arrow 1)
2) Let the countdown reach 0. The unset map chat comes to map screen (see arrow 2)
3) Tap again on bottom right button (see arrow 3)
--> Map chat is deleted !

I would like to find in reports a "Vehicule stopped on road".
(This feature was requested a long time ago).
This morning again, I found a car stopped on my lane. This was not an accident, nor an "object"... Just a vehicule !

Will you add a new entry in the menu ?

Unfortunately the same happens when a report dialog is opened (in contrast to a popup window, this is not only some informational area, which can be repeatedly opened again), but well, one can get used to it. But the Radar/Camera report dialog differs from the others - there is a pretty large informational area in the middle of it and inadvertently touching it (while trying to tap on any of surrounding buttons) causes the dialog to disappear - its GPS position is gone. The same is true for all dialogs, when touching their title bar.

The whole area of all report dialogs (except their [ X ] and [ Send ] buttons) should be excluded from closing them.
And [ X ] is too small !
Should have a true button for that !

That is another story. On Android, Waze apparently attempts to mimic iOS' buttons on the upper left/right corners of dialog windows. But the attempt is just half-baked :evil: usually a button consist of at least some border, which highlights its (clickable) area (rectangular, elliptical, circular, whichever) and some description text inside. iOs' buttons are additionally e.g. gray on a black title bar area. Waze buttons ... can be just guessed :twisted: one can see only its description text. And if these buttons get also scrolled up above the dialog area :roll:

Waze, please, modify these buttons ASAP! It is sometimes really a pain to notice them (especially after reading some texts down to the dialog's bottom, to finally confirm them)!
Argh ! Android is not IOS... If I wanted an IOS system, i already bought it !
And if I own an Android system, it is because I don't want an IOS !
IOS is opposite to Android. So, Waze, please do a good job on android and what you want on IOS.
Give us good screen interface and not poor pop-up or ballon, on which we need to have a little finger, a good eyesight and a big brain storm to understand how it works !

Don't forget that we use Waze while we are driving in our vehicule... Informations should be simple to read, understand and use !

I was in the one lane road according to the red arrow.
My speed was low, about 10..15 km/h. The road speed is 90 km/h.
I never get a pop-up request like "Are you experiencing a trafic jam ?" I think this kind of request is only when we are stopped.
Maybe Waze can be imrpoved is this case.

Still have sometimes a network error, while data are still transmitted.
On the picture, you can see that there is a network trafic. Only Waze detects a network error... That is amazing !

In case of network failure while transmitting report, Waze should be able to buffer the report and sent it back again when network is back.
Actually, the report is lost !
