1. Implement reCAPTCHA v3

   With the recent release of version 3 of reCAPTCHA (the thing you may get to see when you log in and the system suspects you may be a bot instead of a user), it would be a great idea to upgrade to the latest version. We've had several users who have had to fill in the CAPTCHA protection every time for some weird reason (I suspect someone in their neighbourhood is to blame), which could be alleviated with the new system. The system now gives you a score between 0 and 1 to gauge how trustworthy the request is. That also means you can alter how strict the system will be.

   The only downside of this means that you'll need to figure out what you'll do with people/bots with low scores. The reCAPTCHA v3 manual suggests requiring two-factor authentication or e-mail validation from such users, which would indeed help against wrong passwords, but probably won't protect the Waze map from scrapers (I suspect that is also part of the reason why the captcha was implemented).

   Either way, I think it would be a good idea to already add some v3 calls in the background without adjusting any behaviour, just to get an idea of what scores the system generates.

2. 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 functions, if I remember correctly.

   Implementation notes:
   To distinguish between nearby street names that exist in two cities (motorway names, for example, but also local roads can sometimes keep their name between cities), it would be best to also show the city name in the suggestions list. At the moment road names show up several times in the suggestions whenever they exist nearby in more than one city, which can be slightly confusing at first.

   If no city is set for the selected street, the 'none' checkbox for the city should be checked as well. It can of course still be changed afterwards, but I suspect that most of the time this would be most practical.

   This behaviour should only activate if a suggestion has not been clicked or has not been navigated to with the down arrow (or any other means of selecting a suggestion that I'm forgetting here). When just typing in a name, the city should not be set automatically.

   Notes about my mock-up
   An alternative for detailing the city name would be using a comma as separator, like it is done when you're not editing the name. Other alternatives: putting it between brackets or making the font smaller. The last one has the advantage that it takes up less space.
   For the first one I had to decrease the left and right padding of the autocompletion to 15px to prevent the dropdown to be covered by the scroll bar. This can probably be done better.
   For the second one I used these CSS properties: font-size:0.7em; padding-left:5px; font-weight:bold; text-transform:uppercase

3. Selecting a search result shouldn't reset the zoom level

   When using the WME search box to find a road, it would be really nice if WME could leave the current zoom level well alone rather than always resetting it to level 3.

   Even if it just defaulted back to level 4 that'd be an improvement, but jumping back out to 3 means we then always have to zoom back in at least one step if we want to be able to select a street segment. And even at L4, anyone looking to do some work on point places would then need to zoom in one step more before they show up... So really, not altering the zoom level at all would be the best choice IMO.

4. Improvements in segment selection for road closures

   Sometimes it's necessary to select multiple segments to perform a road closure either for MTE or for a conventional closure. After you have several segments selected, you accidentally select a node and all work is lost (the section disappears). I suggest making a modification that prevents the disappearance of the selection of these segments and notifies the editor that you selected a node and it will not be possible to make the respective closure (before or at the moment of trying to save). Obviously the idea is to give you the opportunity to remove the node from the selection and continue with the work.

5. New Place Address

   I'm not sure if it's a minor-bug or intended, but I ask you to take a look:

   Issue regarding Map Editor Beta and Production.

   :arrow: When you find a new place waiting for approval, if you click on the red arrow everything runs smooth, but if you feel the need to click on the yellow arrow to check what's that place is about before approving it (sometimes you can't tell just by the name title), notice it isn't possible to change the address... well maybe it's ok at this point before approving it.

   (attachment 1)

   • After you Approve you can't still change it.
     (attachment 2)

   • You need to click on the map background to remove selection and the click on the place again and now you can change the address. In my opinion this extra step is unnecessary.

6. Address localization

   lease allow localization of address field just as it is done in search results, so it would be possible to have "%{street} %{housenumber}" instead of "%{housenumber} %{street}" for some languages.

7. Allow taking a Place picture from Streetview

   Requirements: the Streetview panel is open and the place layer is on

   Then: allow creating a box on the Streetview panel. When a box is drawn add a bar saying: now select a place to apply this picture.
   Add an X on the box to delete it. Allow the user to resize the box.
   Set a minimum size and a fixed ratio (the one used by the client) for a decent resolution.
   Drawing a new box removes the previous one if present.

   If then the user clicks on a place, ask him:

   "would you like to set this selection as a place picture"?
   Yes/Cancel

   The picture data is taken directly from Google and you'd have the direction of the shot too.

9. Suppress Live Map Overlay

   Recently a change to Live Map introduced an overlay and call to action footer with information on how to download the Waze app when the URL contains a permalink to a location.

   (Image attached)

   While this is great for users that have not yet been introduced to Waze, map editors do not need to see it every time they open Live Map from within WME. Fortunately, if the following query string parameters are appended to the URL, both the overlay and call to action are suppressed:
   While this is great for users that have not yet been introduced to Waze, map editors do not need to see it every time they open Live Map from within WME. Fortunately, if the following query string parameters are appended to the URL, both the overlay and call to action are suppressed:

   CODE: SELECT ALL
   &overlay=false&cta=false

   The difference is:
   Without overlay suppression: https://beta.waze.com/livemap?lon=-73.9 ... 95&zoom=14
   With overlay suppression: https://beta.waze.com/livemap?lon=-73.9 ... &cta=false

   Would you consider adding this to the Live Map link in the lower right hand corner of WME?

   Also as a link to the location of edits in Live Map is also provided in the Editor Profile under Recent Edits (https://www.waze.com/user/editor/Joyriding) it would be appreciated if that URL could be updated as well.

   Alternatively, a compromise could be only displaying the overlay once every X days, but would require a change to Live Map.

   Thank you.

10. Recommend change link for Parking Lot Operator Fixes

    The "Add an operator to the list" link under parking lot operator selection makes it sound like you can only add new operator names.

    Once you go to the link you see that the form is actually for more than additions; "Use this form to add, delete or replace parking lot operators that will be shown in the Client."

    Recommend changing "Add an operator to the list" to the following "Operator list change suggestion". If you want a second line "(Add, Delete, Merge, or Spelling Correction)". This is more descriptive of what the form can actually do.

11. Tag URs with "Not Following"

    I tried finding a post that described this problem but I could not find it, in case there is one, it can be merged to that thread.

    tl;dr Add a tag to URs when the user is not registered or not following a UR.

    Not long ago ronsek57 told me that users, who just opened the app and never registered, are able to send URs but they never receive any of our messages asking for more information. I tested that on three URs (IDs 11946180, 11946458, 11946459), I am not adding permalinks because they already disappeared from WME.

    I sent all three an initial message, follow up and closed them, I did not receive any messages on my test account:

    Not registered - see screenshot 1
    Inbox (only the welcome message) - see screenshot 2
    I did not change any of the notifications on the app, I just installed the app and started driving - - see screenshot 3

    I know this is not centercode, and I will post about this over there, I sent my logs on April 28th at 22:42:13 UTC / 15:40 GMT -7 hours.

    We sometimes get URs with no drive or suggested route GPS traces and we will waste our time sending many messages to a user or leave the UR for more than a week or two.

    Suggestion: add a "Not Following" tag for URs where the original poster is not following the UR or it comes from a Not Registered account.

    This is not posted as a bug because this was WAD.

    I am sure ronsek57 can give you tons of stats of how many URs are closed as Not Identified.

    I know that I did not send some of those URs but I can check if there is a problem, because they are on a frequent drive and I can fix them without any messages from the OP.
