Editing fuel types for each Gaz station in WME
It would be nice if the types of fuel at Gas stations could be created, selected and sorted for each specific Gas station when editing directly in the WME.
The main thing is that for each Gas station it was possible to create its own set of fuel types.
For example:
for one - Gas, 92, 95, Diesel
for the other - 92, 95, 98, Diesel
etc.Because all Gas stations are Different!!!

Remove restriction types in WME for vehicle types and restrictions that are not currently in-app to choose
Remove all vehicle types in WME, that you cannot currently choose within the Waze App.
This won't apply to vehicle types that are currently planned to be released to the app, but the "Truck" and "Bus" types haven't been selectable in the App for some time now. This is very confusing for newer editors who are trying to make edits, using vehicle types that will have no effect on anything.
Similarly please remove the "lane" restrictions like specific restrictions only for the left lane, etc. These do not work and in some edge cases, actually apply to the whole segment…

Improve segment selection on mobile
Hello,
Could you improve the segment selection on Mobile and Tablet?
The selection of a segment is already not easy ...
This could be good in addition to being able to easily select several segments, or multi selection, on mobile and tablet.For example, very useful for urgent closure requests made without a permalink and the Team Closure editor is not in front of a PC (and the editor providing the information is on the road at the same time).
Best regards
74 votesThank you for this suggestion.
At the moment this is not a priority, and therefore not planned.
We encourage you to keep on coming up with more great suggestions

Route by best value rather than fastest route
Waze has, on multiple occasions, suggested long detours that are expected to only be a few minutes faster. When you consider the fuel-costs, cost to operate, etc. this is equivalent to paying a toll to save a few minutes.
If a wazer could specify the value of their time and the cost of operating their vehicle then the route planning could find the route with the lowest cost (cost being value of one minute X duration of drive plus operating cost X length of drive).
Since many wazers might not understand how to determine the correct value for their time…

Navigate to place point by address
As we've added more parking lot roads to shopping centers wazers have become accustomed to being directed to a specific store when they search by name. As a result, they are reporting navigation errors when navigating by address results in a stop point on the road in front of the stopping center. This is particularly bad when the route has to circle around the shopping center to reach the house number.
To work around this, we've taken to adding both a PP and a RPP when a store in a shopping center has a unique address.
It would be great…

Add gates to the map that can be opened, or closed, for each individual wazer
Every private installation currently has two, or more, roles (employee/visitor/secret/resident/etc) that are often poorly understood by the map editors. Currently, editors are forced to choose one role then use various segment types to direct wazers to the gate(s) used by that role. For example, in a gated neighborhood we might set the public entrance to local street while all of the resident-only entrances are private road.
This idea is to have WME support a gate icon that could be dropped onto a segment. These gates would then be visible on the app's map as buttons which a wazer could select…

Editor Profile daily edit count displayed date
On the editor profile page (https://www.waze.com/user/editor/username), the daily edit count pill boxes advance at midnight GMT. The date displayed on mouseover shows the date relative to local time. This means after 1600 my time (-8), it will show today's date for edits in the previous 24 hours. At midnight local, the dates all switch and show the "correct" date until 1600 again.

Internal editor Notes on User Reports
Give editors the ability to enter Notes onto User Reports without these going to the reporters themselves.
This will allow us to leave messages for other map editors without the reporter being notified, for example, Please leave open - due to a Waze developer investigation, Please leave open for a pending site survey, etc.
It may also give us the ability to for to use for an internal conversation about the report that the reporter doesn't need to know about.
Yes, I know we have Map Comments, but having the ability to do this directly on the report would make…

Speed limit map error
I would insert the ability to see the speed limit map errors reported by users with the function to be enabled or disabled in the control panel.
This possibility, unfortunately, is only available for those who have access to the WME beta but it can be free for everyone.30 votes -
A map problem for a suspected closed venue
Many venues that are closed remain in the WME and become WME garbage. During the years these "garbage venues" are growing in number, and the editors do not pay attention to them.
I suggest that there will be a new map problem that will pop up when a venue was not a destination of any navigation for a year or two. If the MP is closed without deleting the venue, it will reset the time for that venue (as though it was a navigation destination).13 votes -
Practice mode in WME while logged in
As far as I know, after logging into the WME, the user cannot enter practice mode anymore.
I suggest that besides "Default mode" and "Event mode", there will be "Practice mode" that will enable anyone to go into the practice mode directly even when already logged in. This might be useful for anyone who wants to try to edit in order to test something or to illustrate some edit option (and take a snapshot of it), and also it is suggested to enable entrance into the tutorial videos from there.52 votesHey!
Thank you for this suggestion.
At the moment this suggestion is not prioritised and therefore won’t move forward.In the meantime, we can suggest using incognito mode, if it is needed.
Best,

Stop automatic editing over all recordings
About two months ago a change was made so that every recorded segment is automatically edited by a bot (admin). It is suggested to cancel this change. This will make it easier to recognize a recoding, especially when scripts are used which make it difficult to notice the segment's color. A recording was previously recognized by having just a "created" line and without an "edited" line. We now cannot be sure whether the segment was edited between its creation and the admin edit, and we have to open the segment history or stop the scripts which color the segments.

Addition of a road type: Dangerous or Unsafe road
It is suggested to add one more road type: Dangerous or Unsafe road. This type will be used for example when it is a very steep or winding or bumpy road, or a road on the edge of an abyss.
The time it takes to pass the road in such cases is not the only parameter that counts.
It is suggested that the "penalty" for passing such a road will be proportional to its length. For example 1 minute for every 100m.100 votes -
Time based speed limits
Speed limits are not always a fixed ones. For example , roads around the schools have a speed limit of 30 kmph during the morning and evening hours. Whereas this limit is not valid for Sundays and during the rest of hours in a day.

편집지역를 국가별 단위로 확대 하면 좋겠습니다.
지금은 본인이 갔던 지역만 편집이 가능 한데 이를
이를 수정하면 좋습니다.
왜. 길이 연결이 되어 있지 안거나 길이 없으면 돌아서
가며 찔게 갈 수가 있는 거리를 멀리 돌아서 가기 때문입니다.
미리 지도를 편집하여 가면 시간과 연비가 적게 든다는 것 입니다.
꼭 필요하다고 생각 합니다.

Allow assigning house numbers from the map while there.
I go a lot of places and the house numbers in some areas are either nonexistent or just plain wrong. It would be nice to edit the map while on the street with the house numbers.

Differentiate road name and road number
Many roads around the world have different names in addition to the name, such as the road number, whether federal or state. However, currently, this numbering is "hidden" in the alternative street name. In other words, the driver may even know that he is on a highway, for example, by the drawing, but he does not know which one if it has a name.
With this, in the Waze Map Editor, in the edition of the roads, the option of adding the street name or number, if it has one, could be added. Thus, Waze would show both the street…3 votes -
Option for not enabling Closed updates layer when opening UR
The latest version of WME will now enable the Closed updates layer when opening a UR. Many editors don't want or need this, so I am suggesting a toggle (setting) to prevent this from occurring.

POI's moving distance
At the moment moving a POI have a distance limitation (2km I belive?) Sometimes when a business changes phisical place to another place, like 10km away, we need to move the POI like 2km, save, move again, save again...
It makes no sense. Please remove it or allow us to move POIs further.
Thank you.
