Gas station PUR
I see many PUR about gas station prices being wrong, and the only option we have is to hit "ignore" since we can't contact the reporter and we can't change prices in the editor. I'd like to have the app automatically pop up a box showing the user how to change gas prices if they report a problem and the place type is a gas station. Obviously many users don't know how or know that they can change gas prices themselves.

PUR Suggestion Improving the participation of the waze users to update/edit maps
PUR Suggestion
Improving the participation of the waze users to update/edit maps
First time or current users, will definitely wish their username to be shown in their suggestive added place. That can make them proud
As we do when we see our username in places
Among the issues that rise and worry the editor community was if editors approved and edited the PUR for some mistakes such as mobile phone format or categories or names (caps ON), it then will give the user trusted status on 30th approved edit
So my suggestion was
Add one check box for edited PUR…

PUR Acceptance/Rejection Notification
Provide email-based &/or client-based notifications to Wazers who submit PURs regarding the statuses of their PURs. This notification would be similar to the notification that Wazers receive when their flags receive responses.

Send Automatic Reply for when people reply to UR emails
I thought of this idea where, if a user replies to a UR email, they will automatically get an email back (like an Out-of-Office reply) saying, 'Message not Received, you must click the link in the email to reply to this report'.
This would hopefully reduce the amount of URs with no replies, and isn't as hard to implement as other ideas.
Thanks!

Comments on PURs
It would be nice to have a comment section on a PUR, especially for pictures. It would allow the editors to give a reason why the picture or update is being rejected. So maybe the next time they would try to take a better picture that did not include, faces, license plates, etc. I think this would help the community be more aware of what we as editors can accept. I think being able to tell them the reasons instead of just rejecting it would help more, due to the fact users my be confused or upset that their…

Voice reply
We can report things like crashes or stopped vehicles but we can't reply to the "still there?" prompt. Even having the ability to confirm with voice after we had passed whatever it was would be nice

Waze to initiate pre-determined reply to texts when driving
I want waze to initiate a pre-determined text reply automatically when I am driving, note automatically, so it switches on and off according to when I am driving using Waze. I would set my reply to say: "I'm driving at the moment so please call me as I can't read your texts but can speak to you using bluetooth. This text has been sent to you by Waze navigation app."

Fix: E-mail says reply w/ app, app has no 'reply' option
I recently entered a map error and was sent a message by an editor asking for more information. One paragraph in the email said this:
You can reply using the Waze mobile app, or https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat=30.418481&lon=-97.847687&mapUpdateRequest=8551695&env=usa in the Waze map editor.
Neither of these options allows you to respond. The app has no reply option in your inbox and there is no way to access messages or reply to them through the map editor either. When I attempted to use the 'Messages' tab through the editor, I was given a 500 Internal Server Error message. As it stands, not only do…

A button for reporting irrelevant in a popup when selecting something directly on map
When there is reported something like Police for example, that is not there anymore, there are only two things that can be done. Searching for the particular report in the list or adding a comment. Any of these are dangerous while driving.
When selecting a report icon on map, there is a popup where is a button for comment and a button for Thanks. It would be great to pur there a thumbs down button or something like that for reporting irrelevant easily.67 votesGreat news! Responding with thumbs up or down to a report is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

The time to reply when asked if hazard or police were at location. Need to add 10-15 second. Usually run out of time before hitting button.
The time to reply when asked if hazard or police were at location is too short Need to add 10-15 second. Usually run out of time before hitting button. People are going to drop way points a few seconds after the obstacle usually.

Show inbox replies to messages in real time
When a user replies to a message via the app inbox their reply is not shown in the conversation thread until they get another response from the other party involved.
This shouldn't be a chat client but the app should show your replies as soon as you hit the 'Send' button.3 votes -
Driver Safety Points: auto-reply to texts, speaker/bluetooth calls only, and speeding alerts.
It would be great if, when you signed into Waze, you were prompted to click on Driver or Passenger. If you are the driver, Waze puts the phone into drive mode, and it either auto-replies to texts with one of five pre-set messages (set up in settings), or it becomes completely voice activated, so it reads your incoming text aloud and allows you to respond via voice only (also set in settings per driver preference). Also, it alerts you to who is calling and allows you to only answer it via either speakerphone or bluetooth (or disregard and it goes…

WME PH Only show at higher zoom
Feedback on new icons for Place Hazards (Cameras, Railroad crossings). (from another editor's posting in Waze Discuss)
In WME: hazards show on the map all the way out to Zoom 14! at this Zoom, even the railroad segment isn't rendered - does the hazard need to render this far?
In areas like NYC, WME performance is already poor (for making edits, panning and zooming in).
Now these icons also render out to Zoom Level 14, covering multiple streets, nodes, etc.
Not too long ago we had an update for UR and PUR pills to group up (cluster) to reduce clutter,…

Option to delete route
Please add an option to delete your route while keeping Waze running. Currently the only way to do this (Windows Mobile 2.0 version) is exit to Waze, restart it and quickly reply No to the resume question.

Make UR emails replyable
Like right now there's a couple of reporters that reply to the emails instead of clicking on the links. Would it be possible to create a certain email wildcard that posts what they say in the email onto WME? I've seen this done with other businesses so I don't know why Waze can't do it. For the meantime at least add a banner at the top of the email body stating it's a no reply email and to use the links provided instead.

Tasker intergration
Tasker is a automation system for Android based on profiles that contains states and actions.
For instance when Tasker sees the bluetooth in my car it begins to reject most calls, reads texts aloud me, and sends a automated reply. Currently that reply just says I will get back to them when I reach my destination. Waze knows that destination and my ETA. I would like to send that in the automated texts. I would also like for Tasker to be able to tell Waze a destination. Using this info it would also be possible for Tasker to do…
