  1. Disable street name popups on the map when using Apple CarPlay?

    I have a problem with the map when using Apple CarPlay. The car's display shows constantly changing large, annoying blocks (popups) with street names. Those blocks often fall over critical parts of the map I'm just driving to. That's why I can't see where I need to go on the map. For example, an upcoming intersection will be completely covered. I use the map with the setting to always keep north at the top (just in case that makes a difference).
    My proposal is to create an option in the settings to enable and disable these blocks. This makes the…

  2. Editing of primers for maps

    I see in the application only two map views "default" and "map editors". I think it is interesting if you can choose the colors yourself, for example. Highway - blue, national road - red, etc.

  3. More informative options for the GPS layer colours (colour by speed or age)

    Currently, the arrows on the GPS layer are coloured by direction. It would be useful for editors to be able to choose between that and at least two other options: colour by speed, to help editors understand historical traffic patterns and troubleshoot routing decisions; and colour by age, to help editors spot roads that may have been recently realigned or closed.

  4. Correction- Brazil

    In Brazil, using English directions, many highways are designated as "SP-###", which stands for "SãoPaulo". The audio direction is calling out ALL SP highways as "Sulfur mono Phosphide" which is a chemical formula abbreviation S P. Every time an SP hwy is called out, she literally says "sulfur mono phosphide" each time, rather than São Paulo, or simply SP. Needs correction. Very annoying 😑

  6. Allow photos to be used in reporting chats on WME

    It should be allowed to insert photos in chats with users when they report a problem, this will make it easier for us to solve the type of problem that exists on the map. It could be a low resolution image only to better identify the problem

  8. Make easier to select segments

    Sometimes we need to do a bulk alteration in several segments, like to change max-speed, directions and so. Although it is possible to select all the street, sometimes, we don't need to change all the segments in the street.
    Also, if a person has some mobility disability or dificulties, it is common they lost their selection of several segments because either clicked in a wrong place or not hold the ctrl key.
    The suggestion is either a creation of a 'Selection mode' that can be activated and allows the user to click in the desired elemnts or a checkbox like…

  10. Disable and restore to default of the issue tracker filters

    Please add two important features to the issue tracker:
    1. Temporarily disable all filters in the issue tracker (show all URs, PURs etc.), without changing the filters, so that the editor can later on enable the filters in order to have the defined filters without the need to redefine them.
    2. Restore the issue tracker to its default state, so that all the previously changed filters will be returned to their default state.
    These features will be very useful.

  11. Make it easy to erase all the trips without having to do it individually.

    I do deliveries for Walmart, and at the end of day, I have more than 20 trips, and that adds up pretty quickly, My saved address are always at the bottom of the list, and it would just be easier if I could erase all those trips at the end of the day, without having to do it individually.

  13. Notation des destinations

    Bonjour,

    Une fonctionnalité intéressante serait les notes sous formes d'étoiles par exemple car très visuel. C'est une idée très similaire a Google Map mais qui serait toujours un plus pour nous la communautée de Waze

  14. Road layer: if disabled, enable when clicking an issue tracker koi suggestion, not after accepting/rejecting

    When a user decides to have the road layer off, there is probably a good reason for that / he knows how to turn it back on when he wants to.
    It would make more sense to enable it when the user first clicks on the suggestion on the issue tracker, not when one gets accepted (I think it's not needed, but it would be more beneficial for the unlikely use case "the user switched off the road layer by mistake, is not realizing it and now wants to add segments that are already there

  15. Multimodal Routing

    Traffic navigation isn't limited to cars. Waze could expand to include cycling, walking, and even public transportation options. By incorporating real-time data on bike lanes, pedestrian paths, and bus schedules, Waze could become a one-stop shop for navigating any mode of transportation in a city.

  16. Filtro de vias sem nome

    Gostaria que fosse incluso no WME na aba "problemas" as ruas de determinada área que ainda não tenham nenhuma nomeação, para facilitar a visualização do editor. Sugiro que isso seja incluído na aba "camada" de mapa.

  19. Allow the toggle of speed camera notification

    Currently it seems you only get notified of a speed camera when going above the speed limit. Which admittedly comes in handy most of the time however when smart motorways reduce the speed limit, Waze won’t notify you fully, compared to if you were going above the speed limit of a normal motorway. Possibly either inform you fully all the time or allow there to be a setting for people that wish to use this feature would be very helpful.
