  1. Giving option to chose if place would be visible on map or not

    Please allow to chose whether place will be visible in application or not.

    Currently places larger then 500m2 are automatically visible, but many times it is easier to map with area than with point. Sometimes points are hardly visible due to color, zoom level etc...

  2. Include "Electronic Fence" as an option on radars.

    In Brazil, several cities are implementing a security system called "Electronic Fencing", whose objective is to monitor city traffic, in addition to detecting stolen vehicles. However, the community has used "Speed Radar" signage to indicate where the electronic fence cameras are located, confusing many day-to-day users, who think it is a speed camera.

  3. Assign alternative street names to residential places

    If a street has alternative names, we need the option to assign those names to residential places on the street.

  4. Add the ability to edit improper road closures, such as flooding on one end only.

    Some roads are flooded at one end, but open to residents on the other side, yet the closure lists the entire road as closed. This is a disservice to the residents living on open sections.

  8. Add general destination information to URs

    URs have been improved by adding more information in WME 2.206, and it would be nice to continue to add information that doesn't jeopardize the privacy of the reporter.

    My idea would be to add information on how the stop point of a user's route was obtained - whether it be a house number, house number interpolation, RPP, Google address, Waze place, Google place, etc. Specifics on the geographic location wouldn't be needed, it would just be very beneficial to know how the stop point was chosen. We get a lot of URs complaining about navigation ending at the wrong…

  10. אופציה ל'הערה אישית'

    שתהיה אופציה לבניית הערה אישית, כמו שיש 'אל תשכח להדליק אורות' או 'אל תשכח את הילד'...
    שתהיה אפשרות לכתוב הערה שתקפוץ כשמגיעים למקום מסויים. לדוגמה: 'לא לשכוח לעבור בסופר' או 'לא לשכוח לעבור במחסן'

  11. Please change the color of street labels so it does not match the color of the roads.

    I often confuse the label with a road, especially on small screens. Even a small difference would prevent this.

  12. Editor visibility default state should be Visible (not invisible)

    Problem Description:
    I frequently see my status as invisible when logging into WME, even after I have previously explicitly set it to visible. The visibility appears to reset back to invisible after some time has elapsed, maybe a day or more, or perhaps it resets after session expiry. I am not certain exactly what criteria causes the visibility to reset back to invisible. I would much prefer to remain visible in WME without having to repeatedly check and manually set myself back to visible each time I authenticate or access WME.

    Requested Solution:
    Please adjust the default value or default…

  13. 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!

  14. 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

  16. Show place sub-categories sorted A to Z

    When a general category is assigned to a new place, its sub-categories are shown in some constant but not obvious order. I suggest sorting the sub-categories in A-Z order (according to the used language).

  17. Planned stops and breaks (fuel, restroom, food, etc)

    It would be nice to have the ability to add planned breaks along a route. Either for refueling or for other needs. Refueling breaks can be done semi-automatically based on entering vehicle year/make/model, with estimated fuel economy, or entering manual fuel economy observed by the driver. You should also be able to add planned breaks (as many as you want along the way) along with an estimated time for the break. This will give you a more realistic ETA. If you're driving across the country, the ETA provided isn't realistic because it doesn't account for at least fuel stops.

  18. Redraw Place Area

    I feel like it would be a great addition if there was a button to reset a place's drawn area and redraw it. In RI, we draw schools by the shape of the building and with many schools being demolished and completely rebuilt into a different shape, its very tedious and annoying to have to go around and either delete all the points or to go just move each one, one at a time. Same thing goes for parking lots.

    It isn't a huge inconvenience, but it definitely would help a lot!

  19. Bus Gate, Lane warning for private vehicles

    Bus Gate and Bus Lane camera Warning

    Since this is the same as getting a fine by speed and red light cameras, preventing private vehicles from entering wrong bus lanes and getting fined, since bus lane warning road markings in the UK are kept to a very small sizes, for maximum fine generation by local governments

  20. Road height restriction.

    To display road height restrictions for all tp yoe of vehicles. Some waze users does not select type of vehicle. At certain road, there are height restriction, if there is a notification when waze navigate trhough fastest routes it would be helpful for drivers.
