Add entry point automatically for RPP and Point Pkace
Would it be possible to add entry points for RPPs and Pont Places automatically by default like for the HN?
Now after inserting the RPP or Point Place on the map, also bringing them closer to the relative segment, often Waze does not take you to the desired arrival point and so to solve the problem we have to manually insert the EPs.
I think it would be useful if it was automatically inserted by default as it already happens for HN, so the editor would immediately understand where the navigation will lead .
We will also fix the problem…46 votes -
Increase the number of things that can be modified at country management level.
For example each of the road types creation, could be limited to an editor of a certain level.
Similarly, the walking tracks, railroads, cameras, etc.46 votes -
Need options for Unit/Apt/Space/Suite/Building numbers on addresses and RPPs
I am seeing more and more large apartment/condominium/business complexes with multiple buildings all sharing one street address, and am more frequently getting URs about incorrect addresses because of it. Note, that the designation need to be alphanumeric.

Display router-enabled U-turns as always green
WME displays some U-turn restrictions as red when routing will treat them as green. This is VERY confusing.
Specifically, we are told that when a driver following a Street roadway type reaches a junction node to a Parking Lot Road, the Waze router is allowed to offer a U-turn at that junction node -- REGARDLESS of the U-turn setting displayed by WME (we are also told this is true of Street/Private Road junction nodes as well -- and perhaps others?).
WME should not show editors red turn restrictions when in fact drivers will experience green turn restrictions. This can lead…

[Request] Map Comments Expiration Notification
When a Map Comment (MC) has been entered and is nearing its expiration (2 weeks in advance or 1 week in advance), notify and/or place a note in the Feed of the expiring MC.
This would allow the editor to verify if the MC is still needed, extend it, and/or reconnect road segments where a long-term project may have warranted segment disconnects instead of long-term RTCs.
If roads were disconnected and the project is nearing completion, this would allow the editor to reconnect the segments and then add RTCs so routing could occur immediately upon the completion of the project…

Thank you very much for this great suggestion.
It was added to our backlog to try and see the possibility to implement it.Please note there is no ETA for it yet.

Receive reminder when closure will expire soon
The ability when adding a closure to select a checkbox to receive a reminder notification a couple days before expiry would be really useful. Sometimes when adding closures we do not know when the road will reopen, so the closure is set for a week or a month. So it would be great to know when these closures are about to expire so we can check and extend the closure if needed.

Allow combining chargers when merging EVCS
When merging EVCS, give users the option to include both sets of chargers. For some reason, some networks (ahem, ChargePoint) sometimes list multiple charger sites in the same parking lot or garage. If we try to merge them, we have to select one or the other set of chargers. Please add an option to include both sets.

Message "Do not response by mail" when editor commented an update request
When an editor commented in an update request there are hinds in the mail from waze the user should answer per app or at the WME. In my opinion it's urgent to make clear the response per mail is not working. There should be a hint: "Do not reply by mail, it will not be delivered!"

Remember "Update results when map moves" setting
When checking/unchecking "Update results when map moves", the setting does not persist upon refresh. It would be nice to have this setting remembered when it's checked/unchecked.
(there is a workaround by clicking filter->Apply, but it isn't obvious that this is necessary)
43 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on this. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

JB, RRC, Camera: Edit only when the layer is on
For Place you have to enable the layer. This is a good feature so you can‘t create something what is still there but hidden.
Can you expand this also to JB, RRC, Camera?42 votes -
Remove unpaived attribute from Off-road / Not maintained segments
An Off-road / Not maintained segment is unpaived by definition and should not have the unpaived attribute. We encountered navigation problems to destinations on such segments because of this attribute, so in Israel we don't allow to set this attribute. New editors are not aware of this problem, and think that they should set it to unpaived, and we have to explain it to them.
Please remove this attribute in this type of segments in the WME, and it will save a lot of effort.42 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.

Disable segment geometry changes in House Number mode
When in the "Edit House Numbers" mode, the Editor allows changes to segment geometry, but then generates an error when saving the changes. It is very easy to unknowingly edit segment geometry when trying to move a house number stop point. When this occurs, any HNs edited after that geometry change need reverted.
Please disable segment geometry changes when in HN mode.

Recategorizing UR's when solving
Add a feature to WME to recategorize the Solved UR's when closing those. This would give Waze a true insight of what reports are really needed and vice versa, what are rare and could actually just be within General Error category etc. Based on my research of all Solved UR's in Finland for last 3 months only about 50% were in right category.
In my opinion this would help to reduce and refocus UR categories to better match with reality which in turn helps users when they are reporting meaning less UR's with wrong category -> Better data and better…

Surfacing House Number Errors
A nice feature would be to surface the real error message from house number additions. Sometimes when there is a conflict between segments, you get a generic "there was an error" type message, but the back end call has the full details which you can see through dev tools. For example:
This segment: https://www.waze.com/en-US/editor/?env=usa&lon=-97.48797&lat=30.16312&zoom=6&segments=48240740
Conflicts with: https://www.waze.com/en-US/editor/?env=usa&lon=-94.82458&lat=29.82488&zoom=6&segments=48240740,511847520,511847562,511847579When the city is listed as "none" (No City). When adding "115" to the latter, this resulted in an error (see attached)
However, the backend error that is returned by the web request is (see attached)
There's enough in the error message there…

POI's moving distance
At the moment moving a POI have a distance limitation (2km I belive?) Sometimes when a business changes phisical place to another place, like 10km away, we need to move the POI like 2km, save, move again, save again...
It makes no sense. Please remove it or allow us to move POIs further.
Thank you.

Disable and restore to default of the issue tracker filters
Please add two important features to the issue tracker:
1. Temporarily disable all filters in the issue tracker (show all URs, PURs etc.), without changing the filters, so that the editor can later on enable the filters in order to have the defined filters without the need to redefine them.
2. Restore the issue tracker to its default state, so that all the previously changed filters will be returned to their default state.
These features will be very useful.41 votes -
Automatic forum login when in WME.
Recommend that whenever a user logs into WME Production then they automatically get their forum account opened. You use the same user name and password.
This way editors don't have to catch a new editor's attention in WME chat or via a UR or "red roads".
Since the feed shows that you have a new PM when in WME this would seem to be a logical next step.40 votes -
Keep me logged into the WME
Would it be possible to keep me logged into the WME once i logged in, via cookies and cache. Currently i'm getting logged out of my session as soon as i close the tab. Even worse when i get a discord notification on my phone about a closure and i wanna close a road i need to login again there too each time and the UI and workflow is very cumbersome.
In short would it be possible that once i'm logged into the WME on a browser to stay logged in until i log out, or do a cache clear…

Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Currently Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.
