  1. Diversion recommended by the road manager due to a closed road

    It could be beneficial to add one or more diversions for a closed road. I'm referring to the diversions implemented by road managers in case of construction work, for example. These diversions would help guide drivers onto 'safe' roads rather than small roads that are not suitable for heavy traffic

  3. Allow photo evidence of map errors

    Allow photo evidence of map errors.

    Sometimes trying to explain what error happened while driving is difficult to upload (while driving) and difficult to explain (after the fact) but allowing someone to upload a photo of the map when it is performing an error is much easier. It’s 2024. Why isn’t this a thing yet?

  5. Allow Waze to access Google location history

    Especially for new editors, it would be handy to be able to let Waze read your Google location history (or have a way to import it manually) so that it can use that to establish your "area". You wouldn't technically be allowing people to expand their "areas" to places they haven't already been, just giving Waze a second source of data to look at. As a new editor in a US state that is more on the rural side, this would be quite handy, as my area currently represents a small portion of the "area" I'm familiar with and this…

  6. Ai integration

    Using Google's Gemini it could predict potential traffic based on wether conditions saying that this route will be faster because it's going to rain in 5 minutes and traffic will emerge badly. Or a more intelligent rerouting system that ai thinks is best. Or a ai road assistant for spastic questions like: find me the nearest gym that's not packed right now. Or find me food nearby without wait times.

  7. Offline Downloads by state

    Google maps let's you download offline maps by area but I think if a offline map feature was added it should be by state because it would be convenient for people doing long cross country road trips.

  8. Pouvoir choisir aller simple ou aller/retour lorsqu'on saisi une adresse

    Pouvoir choisir aller simple ou aller/retour dans la planification d'un trajet en choisissant l'heure "Aller" et l'heure "retour" quand on saisi une adresse. Cette option permettrait de voir le temps de trajet pour un aller retour. Il m'ai arrivé de louper un RDV car j'ai mis 2 fois plus de temps pour faire le retour par rapport à l'aller

  9. Keep usernames in WME history instead of "inactive user"

    Whenever an user is banned or deletes his/her account or just mysteriously (!!) loses his/her account, all edits in history will be shown under name "inactive user" with a link to 404 page.

    Just, for the sake of history, please keep the original username in history and add a little remark that the account is inactive/deleted/etc..

  10. Automatically select road name text when editing

    In the latest version of WME, when you open up the "edit" dialog to adjust a street name, and then click on the text box for "name" or "city", it drops the cursor at the end of the box. It would be nice if the existing text in the box is highlighted so you don't have to manually select the text to clear the box when editing the name of the street or the city name

  12. Off road / Unmaintained road should not have the unpaved option

    The "Off-road / Unmaintained road" type is almost always unpaved, and in cases where it is paved, it is not to be treated as paved. Thus the "Unpaved" attribute of such a segment is not needed. Moreover, it may sometimes cause an unwanted route when there are some segments that have the unpaved attribute whereas some don't have that attribute.
    I suggest removing that attribute from that type of segment.

  16. Enable smooth, kinetic panning of the map when using keyboard keys, disable for when using a mouse

    When using keyboard keys to pan the map, the map chops in the desired direction. This should be a smooth, kinetic movement. When using a mouse, the map will sometime move with kinetic movement if the mouse is in motion when the drag-click is released. This should be an option that can be enabled or disabled by the editor as a preference.

  19. "Check and try again"

    Save error suggestions should provide useful, actionable info to the editor to help them know what to do to solve the problem.

    "Check and try again" isn't helpful. Check what?

  20. Max/Min Speed Limit

    The idea is to display a minimum speed limit also in blue color with a maximum speed limit (already available on the map). Most of the main Highways in the UAE have max & min speed limits. You can get a fine for driving lower than minimum speed also. for eg. E11 (110/60), E311 AbuDhabi side (140/120)
