Issue Tracker - add filter by Language
Now that the Language setting is attached to URs, it would be very beneficial in terms of efficiency to have the ability to filter by language in the Issue Tracker.
The filter should allow editors to select one or more languages and either include or exclude the selection.
For example:
1. include: English + French + Greek
2. exclude: Greek35 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on adding filter by language. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Add feature for people with Military Base Access to delete places.
People with base access should be able to delete place points and place areas for OPSEC considerations. When I noticed an OPSEC concern with a barracks building being mapped I had to notify a Discord chat to get the PP deleted. There should be a way to delete places like this without drawing more attention to it. Maybe if a Waze Map Editor has so many drives on post or uploads a DOD Cyber Awareness cert they could be trusted to modify on post places.

Development Idea for Waze
Feature Proposal:
Currently, another app called Sidecar offers a feature that Waze does not have: it displays speed limits and traffic signs directly on the car’s digital dashboard. This feature is available on vehicles like the Range Rover Sport 2023.
The idea is to develop a Waze integration that allows:
Displaying speed limits on the digital dashboard.
Recognizing and showing traffic signs on the dashboard in real-time.
Providing drivers with essential navigation information without looking at the phone, enhancing safety and convenience.
This would require Waze to leverage direct vehicle integration, possibly through Apple CarPlay, Android…3 votes -
Make the UR Issues Tracker a Tracker and not a Filter
Currently the Issues Tracker is not a tracker, but rather a filter because it hides other URs (issues) on the map.
Ad an option not to hide URs on the map and display the default view (default setting in tracker)... so yes, we need to have some default options (that each user can change)... and when this option not to hide URs on the map to display the default view (including URs).
For example:
I always leave everything to see on my map - my default.
When searching for new URs or looking for URs with answers from reporters, I…136 votes -
Exibir nome do Posto de Combustíveis e Bandeira.
No aplicativo ao clicar em Posto para ver o preço dos combustíveis, ou quando clica em + e escolhe Preço de combustíveis, se tiver cadastrado o posto e for colocado o nome da Rede, invés de mostrar o nome do Posto como principal, e facilitar a atualização de preços, aparece o nome da rede, quando existe 2 posto um pouco próximo, atrapalha a identificação, deve ser prioritário o nome do posto e abaixo a rede.

Better UX for WME boxes
Since Firefox hides the scrollbar when it'**** in use, some of the boxes in WME may contain more than the visible lines, but it's not immediate.
For instance, in the suggestion recap box, or in the Add Menu.I'd suggest adding a scrolling shadow, showing a shadow on the top when there is more content on the top and on the bottom when there is more on the bottom.
It comes from a CSS guru, Lea Verou https://lea.verou.me/blog/2012/04/background-attachment-local/I also added the horizontal version and generated a couple of CSS classes I use on the sites I develop: https://codepen.io/massic80/pen/jOQWxNm

Narrow Road Permanent Hazard
This permanent hazard would warn users of an upcoming section of narrower road width that has traffic and/or safety considerations. Potential applications include:
Areas where a two-way road transitions to a single-lane width where opposing traffic must alternate/give way through the narrow section

Apple Calendar Integration for Smart Navigation Suggestions
I would like to request an integration between Waze and Apple’s native Calendar app. If I have events scheduled with associated locations, Waze should be able to access this information and proactively suggest navigation — similar to how it currently suggests driving to “Home” or “Work”.
In Apple CarPlay, there is already a one-tap button to start navigation to Home or Work without opening any menu. This same functionality could be extended to also suggest navigation to the location of the current or upcoming calendar event.
This automation would significantly enhance the user experience and allow Waze to better integrate…

Built in WME HN Number Increase Number for next HN Bubble
Often adding House Numbers in cities or suburbs there are many numbers for each street.
It would be great if you could easily have the next number go up by various increments.
Would like to have 1-9 keys be increase the HN by the value selected. So if you added 10010 and then press the 1 key the HN comes up as 10011. If you had pressed the 4 key then it would have been 10014.
Since some increments are often more than 9, there should also be a place to set an increment and then a hot key when…18 votes -
Better Display of House Numbers (Edited or Imported)
Recently the House Number process was changed.
Recommend restoring the last editor's name in the upper left corner if the HN was edited. This used to be displayed until this change.
Recommend that you add a dashed line and color code it to show the status of the HN. There is a script that does this but it would be better to have it native to the WME.
Four colors on the dashed line from the HN number to the anchor point.
White - edited by an editor
Yellow - base import (not edited)

Option to choose vans as your vehicle
In the UK, vans on a dual carriage way must go 60mph instead of 70 and 50 on a single carriageway instead of 60.
Being able to choose van as your type of vehicle and having a different speed limit being shown would be extremely useful

Atualização em tempo real mais precisa, ele tem cometido VÁRIOS ERROS.
Devido a muitas mudanças e obras no trânsito do Distrito Federal-Brasília, nós usuários de aplicativo Waze percebemos que o app trava, envia para Vias com muitos engarrafamentos, não dá opção de marginais ou vias paralelas, vias alternativas secundárias. E atrapalha o tempo de chegada ao destino. Mesmo as vias com acidentes ele tem nos direcionado a seguir. Tem que mapear melhor as alternativas e atalhos.

Send ETA➡️ Live Activity
I would like to have a live activity on my phone just like google maps have been testing out that shows progress of the trip. When I share my eta with someone, it would be cool if they got a live activity just like Lyft/uber does.

Highways traffic officer
Proposal: Addition of National Highways Traffic Officer Reporting Option in Waze
In the United Kingdom, National Highways deploys Traffic Officers to manage both emergency and routine incidents on the strategic road network. These officers are civilian personnel and are not police officers.
Currently, within Waze, patrol vehicles operated by National Highways Traffic Officers are frequently misreported by users as police vehicles. This creates confusion for drivers who receive notifications of “police reported ahead,” only to find that the vehicle in question belongs to a Traffic Officer rather than the police.
To address this, I propose the introduction of a new…

Unsaved edits - apply to map without saving
Related to this announcement:
if there were an option to simply “apply” the unsaved edits to the map, without saving them (basically treat the unsaved edits as a draft) that would be awesome. Sometimes the browser crashes or something gets in a weird state while doing a complex edit (common use case where this happens a lot is dividing roads for the falcon snapper) and I have to start over.
I think the times when I have a crash in a place where I'm actually ready to save my changes are much rarer than when I'm in the middle…
