  1. Streamlining changes for adding house numbers

    I'd like to suggest two related changes regarding the addition of house numbers. These are small changes, but in UI design, frictions like this can add up when one is performing the same action over and over.

    1. Always keep the text field active when selecting a house number point

    After clicking to add a house number, the text field to enter the number is automatically active and can be typed in (which is great!) But, when clicking and dragging either the house number itself or the entry point, the cursor goes away, and one has to click the number field…

  3. Show map error icon in the app / Kartenfehler Icon in der App anzeigen

    Report card error should be displayed as an icon in the app so that the sender can see that the card error has been transmitted and can also edit the comment by clicking on the icon to make it easier for the editor to solve the problem.

    Kartenfehler melden sollte als Icon in der App angezeigt werden, damit der Absender zum Einen sieht, dass der Kartenfehler übertragen wurde und zum Anderen den Kommentar pflegen kann durch Klick auf das Icon, um es dem Editor zu vereinfachen, das Problem zu lösen.

  4. Ability to switch from segment node to junction.

    When adding a junction to a segment, the only way now is to add a road and delete it.
    clicking a segment and adding a node and being able to toggle that to a junction would make it less messy of adding and deleting roads.

  5. issue tracker: add new area filter - "My editable areas"

    For new editors, without a managed area the current Area filters don't allow them to see everything they have editing rights to manage. There should be an additional "My editable areas" option that filters aligned to the Editable Areas layer.

  7. Support optional "display name" specifically for Area Places

    The "name" field of an Area Place serves two completely separate functions. First, it seeks to form, together with the address, a unique search hit; this could involve a lot of text. But second, it displays on the app for everyone nearby.

    Most drivers probably don't care about detail in the displayed name; for them, excessive detail may distract rather than help. For example, in some countries editing conventions dictate that rest stops along freeways should have highly detailed primary names in order to make them useful search hits, such as:

    "Rest Area (no facilities) - I-680 mile 58 Benicia-Martinez…

  9. Add icon for roadworks with traffic-light controlled one-way

    Add a new kind of roadworks notification (like the same icon as the one currently used for roadworks but with a little traffic light) for those that have a traffic to make the road one-way.

    It'd be great to know in advance to avoid a road where there are multiple of these.

  10. Add oblique imagery (birds eye view) from GMaps to WME

    To allow editors a more comprehensive view of an area and to provide an additional data layer of imagery, use the already-available oblique imagery from GMaps in WME.

    Oblique imagery allows for a 360° view of a location so we would need a new icon to allow for cycling around the 4 'quadrants' of the imagery.

  12. Allow editing geometry of segments with permanent hazards (PHs)

    Currently, if a segment has a PH, it automatically becomes non-editable by lower level editors, even if they would normally be able to edit a given segment, had there been no PH on that segment. This prevents an editor from continuing, and requires intervention from a senior level editor.

    The only way around it, is to remove the entire segment with a PH and add it again, in order to continue fixing geometries. However, there is a big downside to this approach, that it also removes added HNs.

    One could isolate the PH, by sub-dividing the segment into three segments,…

  13. Add keyboard shortcut for Permanent Hazard Direction

    At the moment, the UX isn't very user-friendly when it comes to selecting the direction for Permanent Hazards. We have to choose between A/B without actually seeing where A or B are..! 🙄

    A/B are displayed only when segments is selected, but hazard direction can only be adjusted when hazards themselves are selected.

    Since we already have a shortcut to 'Toggle segment direction', could we extend this functionality to Hazards as well?

    Link to the original discussion: https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/new-feature-alert-permanent-hazards-now-available-in-wme-all-environments/350757/36

    Il m’est déjà arrivé de conduire sur l’autoroute et de croiser une voiture qui roulait à contresens. C’était extrêmement dangereux et j’ai dû réagir rapidement. Dans ce genre de situation, une alerte immédiate de Waze (sonore et visuelle) aurait pu prévenir tous les conducteurs autour pour qu’ils redoublent de vigilance.

  17. Please add sign icons for national and prefectural roads in Japan.

    In Japan, there are road signs that show the numbers of national and prefectural roads. All major apps, including Google Maps, support this display, except for Waze, which does not support it.

  18. Waze map Editor

    Good Evening, Im from latin America and genuinely love Waze and th Waze map editor system, but I really think that the number of high level map editors that can make actual and meaningful changes is very close to none. Also I think that being a level one editor leaves you with very small options on how to better the experience to everyone, even though most of the level one editors are mostly people who saw a problem and joined just to get it fixed, adding to this the way a low level editor can add suggestions is not easy…
