  1. 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…

  2. Fix the lane width and lane guidance interface

    You have "Number of lanes" listed twice for two different things. 1) the number of lanes at the start of the segment (incoming used for lane width) and 2) number of lanes (outgoing used for lane guidance arrows).

    Recommend having the lane width changed to "Incoming number of lanes" and lane guidance changed to "outgoing number of lanes"

    Yes after you get used to the current configuration it can be figured out but it is never a good practice to have two different items with the same label on a single interface.

    Also the Displayed lane guidance arrows are just…

  3. Real-Time Speed limit

    In relation with the time based speed limits, it would be interesting to have the possibility to change speed limits in real time.
    In some european countries for example they limit the speed limit on all the highways in a country to 90kph due to too high Co2 levels.

    Having this option would set waze apart from other navigation apps.

  4. Organize Urs

    It would be good if when there are many overlapping URs, clicking on one would open only one window and within it the nearby URs would be sorted by date and time. This way, if a user reports several times by mistake, there is no need to respond several times, which can lead to annoyance for this user. I think it would be better organized.

  5. Ability to submit PUR's outside of your editing area.

    I would love to be able to submit PUR's for places outside of my editing area. As I sometimes see places that have incorrect data that needs to be updated but not always an editor in that area is aware. Rather than PM them on the forums it would be more efficent to just submit a PUR for that place. Currently you can only do it in your own unlocked Area..

  6. 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…

  7. The type of way (preferred / unfavorable / neutral) now it does not appear anymore

    The type of via appeared and now it does not appear anymore, even if the editor did not have access to edit this information it appeared on the screen, me and some friends here liked this information because it helped new users to better understand why they did not have access to edition. Because only levels 4 above appear. Could you go back?

  9. Remove screen size change

    https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2293182#p2293182

    The WME screen size was changed, causing you to have to scroll up/down to see the full WME screen.

  10. Login: username error x design flaws

    A novice user approached me saying they tried to log into WME, but their password wasn't working.
    They said they reset the password several times, but nothing worked...

    They sent me a screenshot. See if you guys can figure out the problem.

    https://i.imgur.com/JwfFoRz.jpeg

    Reasons to blame the user:

    1) As soon as the user accesses the page, the phrase "Enter your username and password" appears.

    2) As soon as the user accesses the page, the placeholder "Username" appears in the text entry field.

    However, the user entered their email in place of the username. It's the user's fault!

  12. Seaarching on crossings

    By long streets, it is easier to place two street names in the searching box so you can find direct the correct crossing, like it is possible in Google Maps

  14. Provide an ability to fix divided highway and ramp segment direction

    Currently, when applying closures to divided highways and ramps, we will often get "mixed" segment directions (some A --> B and some B --> A) when multiple segments are selected. It becomes very difficult and error prone to apply a closure in this case. It would be much better if all one-way segments in a region flowed the same direction (I suggest A --> B in the direction of one-way travel), so that when we select multiple segments to apply a closure, they are not "mixed direction". This could be implemented with a WME utility, or could also be applied…

  15. Allow easier editing of new addresses with homes facing the "wrong way"

    Our development is a cul-de-sac with addresses that won't save in the map editor because the homes are all side-facing. This makes it difficult to share the address with guests if they aren't able to navigate there. Please allow all editors the ability to add their homes to the map.Thanks!

    Hi.
    fi we had a chance to filter all the feeds that we receive in the main page of editor.

  18. Hazard addition to go to suggest an edit

    Let all editors add Permanent Hazards but since it is locked by level they can be moved to "Suggest an edit" so spamming with permanent hazards or fake hazards are not added to the map.

  19. Allowing business pages to edit their locations

    We recently opened a new community health center and a lot of our clients utilize Waze to navigate the city. It would be extremely helpful for business owners and clients to be able to locate the correct address. It is almost physically impossible to edit the map and there are no instructions or guides for assistance. This error needs to be addressed immediately.

    When making an itinerary, we should have the choice of waypoints as in other GPS systems.
