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…

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.

make geonodes easier to find
For really long straight segments, it can be a bit of a pain to find the little handle to make adjustments to the geometry as it is often entirely off-screen. This is especially noticeable now since we're making small adjustments to segments that formerly had no geonodes at all to bring them into better alignment for Falcon.
So as a suggestion - I was wondering how hard it would be to make a tweak to where there's always at least one "add geonode" handle visible on screen when a segment is selected?
At a minimum it would be helpful to…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
