  2. Closure layer behaviour on selected segments

    When the closure layer is off and you have a segment with closure selected, the active closure is not showing when you switch on the closure layer. You need to unselect and reselect the segment to be able to see it. It would be nice if that can be resolved.

  3. New WME Layer - Submitted Imagery

    Google-provided aerial imagery is very outdated in places, being at least 6 years old in the area I live. Even in more recent areas, there are new developments and intersections which have been built since. I suggest a way for experienced (lvl 3+?) editors to submit personal drone shots or publicly-available renderings of new developments to be added to a new layer on the map editor. This would make editing updated areas significantly more accurate, and provide a way to confirm the new developments before GPS traces are available. It would also make such imagery accessible to all map editors.

  4. Allow to drag a node of a segment with closure

    Dragging of a node is not allowed when the node is of a segment with closure on it, although the ID of the segment that includes the closure does not change. It is suggested to allow it.
    As a temporary solution, it is possible to delete the closure, and then drag the node, and then reenter the closure (but still the closure is removed for the time it takes to complete the change).

  5. TR-panel shouldn't cover the TR-arrows

    I've the impression that the behavior of the TR panel is changed. The panel remains longer visible after clicking one of the TR arrows. Nice in certain circumstances. Not so nice if you want to set all TR arrows of a crossing and some of the arrows are covered by the panel.

    Suggestion:
    Place the panel a bit further away from the crossing, making all TR arrows reachable.
    The little triangle pointing to the selected arrow could be lengthened.

  6. Project Zone for Large/Difficult Projects

    Sometimes when working on large projects, it is difficult to get the timing with tile updates to make a major project (or even smaller projects) go live at the correct time. Often this is done with adding segment restrictions to new segments, waiting for a TU, then applying an RTC and removing the restriction, so that when it goes live, just the RTC has to be removed. However, this usually only works when what is added is totally new and doesn't require reuse or reconfiguring of previous segments. It is also very difficult during reconfigurations when the project all of…

  7. Display far lanes information when viewing previous build

    When viewing previous build (formerly snapshot mode) it's not possible to see what the far lanes information was. Please add this to the data available when viewing the previous build.

  9. Issue tracker, one more filtering option needed

    To be able to follow resolving rates it would be great if you could add one more filter, Solved / Not Identified / Both. Going through those one by one to find out percentage of solved issues is quite a job, this would help a lot.

  10. add the vehicle type automatically to the wme update request

    this help alot when I want to solve an update request and know what the vehicle type that chosen in the app who makes this report, because some roads only permit specific vehicles

    also you can add other info to the UR automatically, like some app sittings (avoid unpaved road, avoid freeways, avoid difficult intersections)

  11. Last Edit

    Track last edit for self as editor in WME and have a link to go there.

    Sometimes WME gets stuck. Requires hard refresh. But if last edit was important and was not complete, where was it. I was too busy to capture a link.

    Would have to be a 2-phase commit. Capture the location for the editor. then attempt the edit save. Otherwise, If it crashes, the last edit would not get recorded.

    Please have a link to go back to last edit on WME load.

  12. Propose map changes that I'm not allowed to because of my level

    As a Level 1 Editor, I would like to propose a change in a map where I'm not allowed to so the change is not applied until an editor with the adequate level approves it.

  14. Better Display of House Numbers (Edited or Imported)

    Recently the House Number process was changed.

    1. 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.

    2. 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)
    Orange - edited by an editor…

  15. Add "Any date after today" for age of new aerial data requests (Request updated imagery)

    BLUF Recommend adding an option for “Any date after today” Especially for new construction.

    Thank you for adding the Request updated imagery straight from WME to the WME Beta site. It allows one to request imagery that is 1 year, 6 months, 1 month. To improve the process it would be great to add "Any date after today". For construction the new configuration may have occurred within the last month or significant changes were made within the last month (lane guidance painting, etc.

  16. Vehicle Height --> RV

    Many RVs are much taller (and wider) than the typical passenger vehicles. Allowing the user to enter the vehicle height (and width) will assist when traveling as many bridges and roads do not accommodate Motorhomes, Large 5th Wheels / Trailers, etc.

  17. Traffic Event closure selection

    When selecting the closures tab, there should be a hierarchy for the default closures displayed. If there are no verified closures (such as when copying a Traffic Event), the list should switch to the Unverified closures list. If there are no verified or unverified closures, the list should default to the failed closures.

  18. Add an Option to keep or Removed Wazer icon from URs

    With the new Release, we got a new UR icon design that has the Wazer on it, and i have seen many different opinions about it.
    i think it would be great to have an option to decide how you want your URs to look, either have the Wazer on it or without the Wazer on it. as there is a lot of editors that like the new look, but there are also some that would like to have it as before. so this would solve this problem without removing the new look of the URs.

  19. Draw Bridge Traffic Controls

    My suggestion is Draw Bridge Traffic Control as a Perm Hazzard in WME

    Awareness need for Draw Bridge control ahead that could engage their Traffic Light or Swing Arms to stop traffic.
    The icon should be different for a Draw Bridge than the usual Traffic Light icon.

    In more words:
    We have RRC and now rolling out Traffic Lights. RRC can be plain, can have Traffic Lights, and can have Swing Arms. Draw Bridge controls pose the same problem. But in this case, they usually have both Traffic Lights and Swing Arms or some other blocks.

    No difference than a…

  20. Add 'Custom' or 'Other' category for Permanent Hazards to cover undefined road conditions

    Expand the Permanent Hazard categories with a "Custom/Other" option to allow editors to flag segments or points with unique, life-saving warnings that don't fit existing labels—such as low-hanging branches, flood-prone causeways, or unexpected dead ends—ensuring the map stays accurate and safe for every type of vehicle and terrain. A short description (e.g. 3 words) can describe the Hazard
