  1. On WME could there be a way to show UR that we already replied to as a notification in the notifications area on WME.

    So i would suggest receiving notification from existing UR from the WME notification tabs (top right) that we have already replied to once the reporter has acknowledged us editors' response to their report that would link us directly to that report, the current method so far is via email when waze actually notify us or in the app also the app notification only shows when the app is open.

    This would eliminate us having to go into our email every minute as to locate that specific UR as there are usually over 10, 20 UR in one spot that number…

  2. Add map comments to the "All issues" section

    It would be great to have all map comments in one place, and the all issues sections seems perfect for this. Include some filters like comment type (point, area), comment expiration date, comment creator (me, other), etc.

  3. Holiday based turn/traffic restrictions on Japan

    Traffic/turn restrictions for holidays have not yet been implemented in Japan.
    Please support Japanese national holidays.

    If Sunday becomes a national holiday, Monday falls under the holiday in lieu, etc. There are detailed rules. The dates that fall under holidays are listed in the following law
    https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/law/323AC1000000178/

    Similar proposals outside of Japan have already been implemented and should be less burdensome.

  4. по-големи улици

    Предложението ми е, да се направи по-зуумната картата, така, че иконата на автомобила да се показва точно в платното за движение. А не както в момента да се носи над пътя! Това б било доста поориентиращо какато и по-красиво изглеждащо/

  6. Please can you introduce sub and sub-sub folders etc. for saved places.

    It would be great to be able to have and categorise sub folders with labels such as restaurants, hospitals, friends, clients etc.. These might be further nested to a higher level by area, county or country for example.
    It is really very cumbersome to scroll through hundreds of saved places to find the one I want. When I travel abroad I have different countries places all mixed together in one long list. With nested sub folders, finding a particular saved place could be done in mere seconds.

  7. Conduciendo con ruteo, poder cerrar calles laterales, o transversales a la ruta

    Cuando conduces con ruteo, y cruzas una calle cerrada pero que no aparece como cerrada en la pantalla, solo puedes cerrar el segmento siguiente en tu ruta, para poder hacer ese cierre, debes "detener" tu ruteo, ahí empezar el proceso de cierre donde sí te aparece en la pantalla todas las posibilidades y hacer el cierre. Luego hay que volver a solicitar nuevamente ruta a nuestro destino. Si bien como está ahora facilita cerrar lo que tenemos delante de forma muy agil, acceder a esa posibilidad estaría interesante, ayudaría a mucha gente, no solo a los que usan Waze sin…

  8. Opening hours, by appointment only

    Looks useful to me to add the option 'By appointment only' to 'Opening hours' in WME. You still need to choose the days on which an appointment can be made. It is important that the telephone number is stated correctly in the data.

  9. Multi-Select Option for Place Services

    Current Functionality:
    Services for a place are set with a yes/no checkbox. If a place has a service, editors check the box. Otherwise, the service's box is left unchecked.

    Proposed Functionality:
    Services for a place are set with choice chips for Yes, Unknown, and No. Unknown is selected by default. If a place has a service, editors select Yes. If a place doesn't have a service, editors select No. If editors are unsure or otherwise don't check, the default Unknown is left selected.

    Reasoning:
    The current system is somewhat ambiguous for editors. My own interpretation and expectation of the current…

  10. An option to turn off camera alerts on daily routes

    It would be useful for the app to have an option provided to users to turn off speed camera/ average speed zone alerts on daily routes where the user would already know the locations of.

  11. Leader board changes

    The leader board ranking should be updated automatically and not the day after.
    The leader board should be split or selectable by points for edits only vs driving.
    This should encourage new editors and let them see that their work reflects in a higher ranking (if they are sensitive for this) which isn't hijacked by people who are only driving.

  12. Waze debería indicar la distancia a la localidad más próxima que esté sobre la ruta.

    Waze debería indicar la distancia a la localidad más próxima que esté sobre la ruta, incluyendo su nombre. Actualmente, sólo indica la distancia a la próxima rotonda o bifurcación.

  13. Hallo. Wäre ein Option für Grenzübergang zu sperren nicht schlecht.

    Hallo. Wäre ein Option für Grenzübergang zu sperren nicht schlecht.
    Mit Einsatzfahrzeug darf ich nicht über die Grenze fahren, aber manchmal führt die Navi mich dort durch. Und manchmal verbietet auch keine andere Option.
    Wie ich mich errinere, in iGo Navigation war diese Option verfügbar.
    Ich glaube könnten wir hier auch nutzen.

  14. WME personal and Group Layer notices.

    First if all the WME
    To be able to add areas finished or areas of Interest or unfinished areas. To be shown only to yourself or to a group.

    Also to be able to see that area in the Waze APP.
    So you can see areas that needs to be explored.

    I have notification layers for different addresses and streets confirmed, also areas that is boudneries to the ones i work in.

    This is a mess to other users. But really good for me to keep track of things.

  15. Setting Issues Tracker filter as default should also select it

    If a user marks an Issue Tracker as default, obviously he/she means to use it. So, select the marked filter at once, no need to do it as a separate step.

  17. Ability to change map from dark to light setting on car play

    For long drives on highways when you have your headlights on during the daytime. You should be able to toggle between dark mode and light mode on the car play screen of the car as you are not allowed to touch your phone while driving. It only needs to be a simple toggle bar of light-dark

  18. copy/paste for turn closures / RTC on turns

    new turn closures feature in WME:
    We need a copy/paste feature for turn closures

    If you have to setup more than one turn closure, you have to enter description, start/stop date, start/stop time and MTE every single time.
    On a closed segment next to a T junction you have to set 4 turn closures, on a + junction 6 times.

    Why is it better to close e.g. 4 turns than the segment?
    If the segment is closed Waze will route you the node that is closer to your destination. Maybe this is the closed junction you don't wanna go through.…

  19. New road type needed between ST to OR

    Passive road type

    Passive mean the penalties attribute doesn't need to use unpaved option.
    And MAY use penalties state similar to PLR

    Most of the road actually vehicles worthy but not qualified as Street (ST) or Off-road/Not maintained (OR supposed for 4X4)

    Most of it drivable and may be the most important route for local or user that knew the road.

    Why this passive RT needed? Majority of user not even know the unpaved switch exists,
    so do to differentiate the unpaved segment shown in apps, this creates complexity for the user to use Waze very well.
    Even with unpaved…
