Re-Center Directional Map
While driving my route yesterday, I accidentally touched the map screen. For the life of me, I couldn’t find a ‘Re-Center’ indicator or get back to the usual directional map. I gave up in frustration and switched back to the GPS map I was using prior to trying Waze again.

Change Forum Sharing Options object types posted in forum
Currently when an editor uses the Forum Sharing Option to request an unlock, the request ALWAYS says "I would like to be able to edit the following segment(s)." no matter what type of object is selected.
The request should be automatically based on type of object selected
If segment(s) selected, no change
If venue(s) selected, the request should say "I would like to be able to edit the following venue(s)."
If they have any other type of object selected, the request should say "I would like to be able to edit the following [selected object type]."85 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.

Extra click required for approving a PUR
When approving/rejecting a PUR (new place, new photo, change in details), an extra click is now needed to close the window. Simply clicking approve/reject would close the window, but now you also have to click done to close the window. This wasn't the case until WME v2.109 (released August 2022)

add ''HIGHWAY FIRST" to preference
When there are several routes available, I've noticed that Waze may calculate a route that combines both ground roads and highways. This is done to save a little time or reduce toll fees but can result in entering the highway from a distant entrance or exiting the highway too early. This approach leads to more instances of entering and exiting, as well as increased interactions with other drivers, which is unnecessary and more dangerous.
I suggest implementing a "HIGHWAY FIRST" preference. When a highway is available, the system should calculate a route that prioritizes the use of highways, even if…

Directly Navigate To Trauma Center Facility
I wanted to offer a suggestion that could potentially save lives and improve the efficiency of emergency medical care navigation in Georgia.
Currently, Waze provides invaluable assistance in navigating through traffic and finding nearby emergency departments in times of need. However, it's important to note that not all emergency departments are equipped to handle trauma cases. In Georgia, as in many other regions, there are designated trauma centers that offer specialized care for severe injuries.
My suggestion is to enhance Waze's functionality by incorporating information about trauma centers alongside regular emergency departments when users search for medical assistance. By doing…

Loosing costumers
Hi !
"This idea was created based on the response received by contacting customer service. Therefore, the idea directly addresses what is said in the conversation. The topic deals with users of the country of Azerbaijan. And since there are approximately 5 editors for the country in question, it is obvious that this issue will not attract much attention. Because I haven't seen any of them make any suggestions or post on any topic here yet."... And yes, I have one more issue to talk to you about. So, is there another way for me to become a moderator…

Adjust Categories to cover Sports Clubs
Some of the categories don't quite cover what editors might be looking for. For example, Game Club should be a Sports Club, and a Club should be like a nightclub or function room type place. Currently, there is no category that covers a local sports club/function room. they're often a vital community asset and are used for plenty of social functions by non-club members which often leads to "non-locals" having to try locate them

WME - Dynamic Speed Camera (Icon).
Hi.
It would be a nice touch to add a - Dynamic Speed Camera (Icon), so whatever the user inputs in the Speed Value Box, it will reflect the same on the Icon. I feel this would help new users who think every Speed Camera is (30) but in reality it can be something else.
Thanks!

Last Edit
Track last edit for self as editor in WME and have a link to go there.
Sometimes WME gets stuck. Requires hard refresh. But if last edit was important and was not complete, where was it. I was too busy to capture a link.
Would have to be a 2-phase commit. Capture the location for the editor. then attempt the edit save. Otherwise, If it crashes, the last edit would not get recorded.
Please have a link to go back to last edit on WME load.

Add More Culture / Entertainment Subcategories
It would be nice to have more subcategories for Culter/Entertainment venues. A couple of examples would be Bowling Alley and Arcade. When I look at bowling alleys in Waze they are flagged as the the main category, but I feel having a subcategory for them would help with users locating them.
I don't think this is too much to ask when we have subcategories for Race Track and Theme Park which is significantly fewer in number.
A list of culture/entertainment subcategories that come to mind that would be helpful:
- Bowling Alley
- Arcade
- Mini Golf (Putt-Putt)
- Escape Room

voice controll over waze
Voice controll when waze is on and the voice controll is on as well.
Just say "Waze danger", it will ask what kind of danger, you say on road it confirm you say after that car stop, or wheather, fog... etc...
It recognise the item and ask to confirm, you say yes and you made a sign without to watch and manual input the danger.

AED
My suggestion would be to include the locations for AEDs (lay defibrillators). Because it is very helpful in an emergency.

Use RTC history to create new RTC on the same segments
It would be very convenient to be able to re-create a RTC based on the RTC history for one or more segments. This would also require being able to choose to select all segments that were included in the original RTC, as well as optionally proposing start / end times.
Two use case examples:
1) Recurring RTCs where the schedule is not known far in advance
For example, there is nightly road construction on a given highway, but this may not repeat every night for various reasons. The actual closure is only published a few hours before, and so requires…

don't allow dirt roads
I wish when I select "Don't allow" dirt roads it would navigate the route with the least possible dirt roads. It still routes me over dirt if it's a better route but don't allow to me means don't allow not avoid. I understand if the destination but it should still find the route with least dirt.

wme - remove duplicate headings
how come there is a waze map editor button in this drop down? and a duplicate of live map under it and also in the bottom right? i think the bottom right should be removed along with the waze map editor button?

It would be a great idea if the buttons to show the types of existing roads had the colors of the different types of roads in the WME.
