"Take me back the same way I came!"
"Take me back the same way I came!" Garmin has such an option and it is very useful, especially when the driver gets lost. It can be turned on and off at will.

Excluding Specific Road Types in Polygons Based Events
I would like to propose an improvement to the "Polygons Based Events" by adding an option to exclude certain types of roads, similar to the school zone alerts.
In my case, I want to set up a PBE for major roadworks, but a highway crosses at a lower level and will be notified of this event even though it is not affected.

Allow editing TBR of segments covered by Junction Boxes
If a segment is fully or partially covered with a JB, we cannot add, remove or modify time-base restrictions for it. The only way to do that today is to delete JB, to edit TBR, and then to create JB anew. This limitation seems excessive.

Display router-enabled U-turns as always green
WME displays some U-turn restrictions as red when routing will treat them as green. This is VERY confusing.
Specifically, we are told that when a driver following a Street roadway type reaches a junction node to a Parking Lot Road, the Waze router is allowed to offer a U-turn at that junction node -- REGARDLESS of the U-turn setting displayed by WME (we are also told this is true of Street/Private Road junction nodes as well -- and perhaps others?).
WME should not show editors red turn restrictions when in fact drivers will experience green turn restrictions. This can lead…

Default expiration date for map comments
There are a vast number of map comments without an expiration date that are no longer relevant. This causes map editors to open them to read the comments.
I suggest that when adding a map comment, the default expiration date be one year later, and the user can delete the date to make the comment permanent. This will hopefully minimize the number of "junk comments" in the map.6 votes -
edit geometry/allow saves whilst adding closures
be able to edit geometry of segments that have active closures, as currently to edit geometry (without affecting node id) is to remove closure edit geometry and then re-add closure. as well as that allow the ability to add closures whilst having unsaved edits.

Aceitar a sugestão de novas rotas
Que seja aceito a edição online do mapa, para percurso definido pelo usuário, e não somente pelo caminho que o app entende por melhor, pois há vias que, mesmo mais longas e com pedágios, são melhores que as usuais!

Issue Tracker: Stop defaulting to All Issues - remember last saved filter selected
If you don't have a Pinned Save Filter, Waze should remember the last Save Filter selected rather than reverting back to "All Issues".
If I'm working on a Saved Filter, and need to refresh, it's more than likely I want to continue working on that same filter afterwards.

Allow combining chargers when merging EVCS
When merging EVCS, give users the option to include both sets of chargers. For some reason, some networks (ahem, ChargePoint) sometimes list multiple charger sites in the same parking lot or garage. If we try to merge them, we have to select one or the other set of chargers. Please add an option to include both sets.

Switch the report hazard and speedmeter icons around
I just thought it'd make sense to switch the icons around because as a right hand side drive, I want my speed closer to my eye line.

Route bar
Hello,
i would like to have a "Route Bar" on the screen. TomTom has it and it is great. You can see Petrol stations that are directly on your route, traffic incidents, speed camerasda, nger zones, rest stops and so on along your route.

Possibility for editors to create map update requests, for changes that need higher level editors.
Many times I can see needed changes or map problems that are prohibited for my level to edit or fix. But there is no option to report these issues to the higher levels, inside the map editor.
Should I have to drive there and create a map issue report?9 votes -
Calques Cadastre
Bonjour, dans les calques, comme Géoportail le fait déjà, pourquoi ne pas proposer le calques du cadastre ?
Cela réduirait les litiges sur les parcelles et dans des lieux invisibles (bois ou forêt par exemple), cela faciliterait l'ajout des chemins et sentiers.1 vote -
Exportable Layer
The consulting firm I work with does a lot of travel demand model updates and we use the Waze Map Editor quite a bit to update our network's posted speed. We would love to see a feature that allows for the exporting of a selected region's posted speed network to help make these speed updates more efficient. Is this a feature Waze can do now or possibly look into in the future?

Add km and miles distance to the navigation screen
Please, update the app to show the distance with both km and miles at the same time.
On the bottom of the navigation screen (after setting the destination) there is plenty of space, I grew up on a country that uses km, now I live in the US that uses miles, but it will take a long time to get used to it, therefore showing both simultaneously (e.g 10 mi / 16 km) would be perfect!4 votes -
Parking lot type (motorcycles-only, cars-only, both)
It's very common, at least in Colombia, parking lots only for motorcycles and it's really dissapointing to arrive at a parking lot suggested by Waze, and realize that it's a motorcycle-only parking lot and you're driving a car.
Please add a new property in WME to choose the type of parking lot: motorcycles-only, cars-only, or both, and add a new feature in app to filter by parking lot type.54 votesThanks for your feedback.

Cambiar icono en modo moto
In Car mode, you can change the icon to another one. But in MOTORCYCLE mode, this is not possible and a very thin motorcycle (2D) appears that blends in with the road and is difficult to see easily when riding a motorcycle.
You should be able to change to a more visible one, such as the arrow or triangle that stands out more. This way, you will avoid taking your eyes off the road more than necessary.6 votes -

Add DPMs with the Paths feature
Instead of hassling around with segment types and names to get a DPM (Detour Prevention Mechanism) working, a more straightforward approach would be to create a Path, cycle through the possible routes and mark it as DPM. This would be great for intricate structures of parallel routes where you would want to define which routes are greatly preferred.
