Map mistake
I couldn't find an email or something similar where I can report a map mistake so I'll try user voice. I live in a small village in Lithuania - Lankeliškiai. We have a beautiful Church (Lankeliškių Švč. Trejybės bažnyčia) which attracts a lot of tourists. Anyway, this year we noticed that there are a lot of confused people near our main farm and the reason is that the Waze map shows that place as a Church. Actually, Church is located at these coordinates (54.567565, 22.979511), so please, change it on your map and save us some time from navigating lost…

Changing the color of street names along the route
The street names along the suggested route have the same blue color as the route itself. This causes a visual clutter on the map and hinders the perception of the route.

Prefill city when using a street name suggestion
When we currently enter the name of a street, we get autocompletion suggestions based on existing roads in the neighbourhood. It would help quite a bit if the associated city field would also be filled in whenever we use one of these suggested road names. I know that every street has a city set (or none, on purpose) in the underlying data model, so this shouldn't be a big effort to add.
(see Mock up 1 + 2 attached )
I'm still contemplating whether I'll write a userscript for this or not. It's not so easy to hook into those…

Moderation to merge Places
It is not allowed to merge places with lock larger that your level.
Could stay pending for moderation?by ErsonSergio
Link to original suggestion: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1525&t=2743302 votesHey!
Thank you for this suggestion.
As the lock level system was designed to keep the safety of the map, and this seems like an edge case, we currently not moving forward with this suggestion.
Best,

Vehicle restricted closures
Now: the closures are for all vehicles.
SUG: possibility of applying a closure for a certain type of vehicle and not for others, for example: closures only for taxis.

We do have thinking processes of making the restrictions closer to real time, but nothing concrete for now. -

אפשרות לתכנון המסלול המהיר ביותר בין הרבה נוקודות יעד. אפשרות ששליחים מכל התחומים יהנו ממנה
תכנון נסיעה למספר רב של יעדים, למשל בשביל שליחים..
כרגע בוויז אפשר לתכנן נסיעה ליעד אחד ומקסימום להוסיף עוד עצירה אחת בדרך.
הרעיון שלי הוא שיהיה אפשר להכניס המון נקודות יעד ושוויז ישכלל את הנתונים ויעדכן במסלול הכי מהיר לעבור בין כל הנקודות.
בעיקר ישמש את כל השליחים שצריכים בזמן הכי מהיר לעבור

Display the edit history of map comments
Currently, WME only shows the date the map comment was created and then the date it was last edited. The details in the history pane that is shown for places and road segments is not currently available for map comments.

First-Time WME Login Tour / Tutorial
Create a tour/tutorial screen that pops up when a user logs in to the editor for the first time. The screen would be greyed out except for highlighted areas, where a chat bubble would explain what that button/area in the editor is for. It would also provide the means to have the editor engage the community through the forum or Wazeopedia.
For example:
- "This is the layers button. You can turn on extra layers to see roads, places, comments from other editors, etc."
- "This area contains a feed of map content, your recent drives and editable area, and…3 votesGreat thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

Subway station elevation
There should be a feature that would enable editors to include the elevation of a subway station as they can do with PLAs.

Retroalimentación para usuarios.
Saludos.
Considero interesante la posibilidad de comunicar a los usuarios que agregan lugares, fotos y sugerencias, el poder poner en su conocimiento la razón por la cual el editor no aprobó su su lugar, foto o sugerencia.

Bilingual
Hello. Is it possible that in the future, the names of cities may also be displayed alphabetically (Roman, Cyrillic, Chinese, etc.) to which I installed the application on the device?

Hyphenated house numbers
The Waze Map Editor should add support for addresses with hyphenated house numbers like most of the addresses in Queens. Without hyphenation, addressing is less accurate than it should be.

Increase Map Editor Feed filter capacity
I would find very useful to have available in the "Feed" of the editor the posibility of filtering, at least, per "Country".
71 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on Increasing Map Editor Feed filter capacity. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Multilingual street names
Add the capability to add translations to street names so people who speak different/foreign languages can use the map. EX: In Israel, Google Maps has Anglicized street names, while Waze does not. As a result, the English-speaking voice in Waze cannot recite street names in Waze.
This feature would be of great use in NYC and other cities where there are plenty of ESL speakers and people who have very limited understandings of English. Spanish would be a great language to start with.

Suite/floor numbers
Add the ability for editors to add suite and/or floor numbers for establishments. This feature would be especially useful in NYC and other cities with lots of mixed-use development.

Automatic flag on unused places
Many places in the WME are not used for various reasons: The place was closed or moved, the place was created for an event that has passed, the place was wrongly created, the place exists but nobody uses it for routing. During the years, the number of such "garbage" places is growing, and will continue to grow forever.
There must be some way of cleaning these places from the map.
It is suggested that every place (excluding RPP and natural features) that nobody set it as a destination for 15 months, will be automatically flagged, with a reason that the…37 votesThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Multiple sets of hours
Add the capability for editors to add multiple sets of hours for an establishment. This feature would be especially beneficial for banks and pharmacies. At banks, ATMs are often open 24/7, while human tellers, consultants, notaries, and other banking personnel are not at banks 24/7. At pharmacies, the convenience store and the pharmacy itself mostly have different hours. Finally, there are some establishments with delivery hours and/or drive-thru hours that differ from the establishment's standard operating hours.

Google Local
The Waze Map Editor should permit editors to pull place descriptions from Google Local Guides since Google acquired Waze. Waze already permits editors to use Street View info. Also, Google Local Guides is a crowdsourced project, just like Waze.
