  1. Add an item under the Place menu for Residential Point Place

    Right now, to add an RPP one must select a place type (other than residential) and then click to convert to residential. The vast majority of PPs I add are RPPs and this adds an unnecessary step. This should be simple to add, with no downside.

  2. Remove layer sharing in permalinks

    Currently, when making a permalink, you can share your layer settings by checking the "Include layer settings" checkbox. This will add the "s" parameter to the permalink so that anyone who opens it will see the map with your layer settings.
    In my experience this feature is literally never used and is frankly quite annoying. If someone sends you a PL this way, you will lose all your own layer settings and have to re-check all the layers that you had enabled.
    In my opinion, removing this feature would be the most effective solution as it is never used.

  3. Snapshot Mode vs Current Live Map

    The latest release of WME includes relocated snapshot mode, with name changed to "Current Live Map". During beta testing this was pointed out to and noted by staff. Statement was made it would be corrected. Incorrect wording was pushed to production and needs to be changed back to Snapshot Mode.

  4. Segments leading to a Junction box should be Splittable

    Currently, when you try to connect an existing segment (segment E) to a segment leading to a Junction Box (Segment L), the WME won't allow to create a Junction.

    On the other hand, creating a new segment (segment N), Segment L can be split, but then a saving error will happen (operation not supported).

    This different behavior is confusing and it's not easy to understand why it is like that. This mostly looks like a bug to the user when the Junction box is far away and not even on screen.

    To fix both problems, WME should allow splitting a…

  5. Limit name input in event mode

    Technically, the name of an MTE is limited to a specific length (number of chars).
    But nevertheless, I can type longer MTE names into the name field of a new MTE.

    Sometimes I have trial&error situations because of that. I simply have to test whether a name is still short enough by trying to save the name. If the name is too long, I get the error displayed that finally shows it.

    It would be way easier if the WME could directly stop the input when the maximum name length is reached.

  6. Add "Curbside Pickup" or "Curbside Service" to the services in the more info tab for places

    In this Covid-19 era many businesses are offering Curbside Pickup service to reduce/avoid direct contact between people. I think this came to stay as I have witnessed adding phone line numbers exclusively for customers to call when they are parked in front of the store so a employee can deliver the order to the customer outside the building.

  7. Translate country names to appear correctly when using the app in languages other than English

    Currently when viewing a place's address (street name, city, country), the country's name always appear in English no matter what the language setting you have. This should be corrected so that the country name appear on the correct language depending on what language is set for Waze.

  8. Allow language change for international travelers

    Hi! In our office we are big fans of WAZE and find, at least in Los Angeles, that it's superior to Google Maps and other GPS apps. Our issue? We have many frequent international travelers and in particular, when in Israel the app defaults to Hebrew and can't be changed to English. I think it would be advantageous to all if that could be made more flexible.
