Save all native WME client settings on server side
Base WME client settings are only saved to the local machine, as every time you log in somewhere on a new workstation, you have to go restore your preferences such as Environment, Language, Imperial/Metric, Compact Mode, Transparent Arrows, etc.
However, with the implementation of Issue Tracker, saved filter settings are immediately accessible upon a new login, proving that WME user settings can be saved at the server end.
Please save all native WME settings on the server side so that they are already in place when an existing editor logs in on a new workstation for the first time.
110 votesGreat timing! We're currently working on making your preferences accessible when logging in on a different device. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Switch editor profile ROW/IL/NA
When an editor makes changes and we want to see what was done (usually flagged in the high volume report), senior editors will often check the editor profile. If that editor is from another environment (ROW visitor to NA, etc), and their last edits were in the home environment, we have no way to see what edits were made in our environment.
Please add an ability to change the edit history per environment. This could be a drop down on the environment currently displayed, or adding an environment option to the URL (env=usa).

Cream Color Road Color Marking for Roads without asphalt/tarmac/unpaved.
If a road segment does not have asphalt/tarmac or is unpaved, it is indicated with the color cream on the map.That way drivers know the road condition.
When editing the maps, this would have to be taken into consideration to indicate how smooth/rough the road is(No Asphalt/No Tarmac/Unpaved?)4 votes -
Copy button for segment/place address
Very often you have to search info for address while editing maps and it could be made a lot easier by adding a copy button to copy address on properties panel. Or maybe 2 buttons, 1st for just the street name, 2nd for whole address.

Fix the bug where it says you must submit current edits for review before you can edit another segment.
There's a bug where it says, "To edit another section, you must submit current edits for review." However, I have no edits ready to submit. After a few refreshes, one may show up so I deleted any edit shown under the "submit edits" button and start over but end up with the same error message.
So either there's a bug or you can't edit the speed limit on multiple segments of the same road at the same time? If that's the issue, then that would also be a pain. In about one mile of road in my local neighborhood, I'm…

Add cycling tracks for end-users and "Waze Edit mode"
Make cycling an option for end-users and in "Edit mode", alongside the existing options for Road, Walking Trail, Roundabout, and Junction box, considering there is more and more bicycle usage across the globe.

Show the direction of travel on one-way streets
I was driving through a downtown area yesterday that has a lot of one-way streets. I was trying to leave the area, but couldn't see which one-way street was going in the direction I needed to go. Can waze put arrows in the direction of travel allowed on one-way streets?

Event Announcements
Currently, event announcements remain displayed even after the event has ended.
Unless they are deleted manually, they stay on the screen and make it difficult to view new announcements.Therefore, I would like to request the addition of a feature that automatically deletes event announcements once they have ended.

Add neighborhoods to places
Many cities have stores with many locations around the city. These can be hard to distinguish in Waze, since people might not be familiar with the specific street name, and some countries have many streets with no name or similar names. Just as places are assigned to cities, it should also be possible to assign them to a neighborhood (defined based on community guidelines), so it's easier to find and identify places.
A recent feature allows for neighborhoods from Google to appear in search results, but this request is to define and manage neighborhood areas directly in the WME, either…

Import Addresses for route optimization
Route4Me just lost functionality so Waze has an opportunity here... especially if you want to offer individuals a free plan but then sell to corporations a route optimization tool for their field reps/drivers.
I used that app for 5 years and was able to import an excel file with my client addresses, they now shut off that option for individuals and you can only access it from a corporate account.Basically if I have 10 clients on excel I need to go to today, I want to be able to import that into Waze, and then Waze will "optimize" the…

Light to Dark mode transitions
Introduce a fading transition between light and dark modes at sunrise and sunset. Replacing the instant switch with a slow transition prevents visual shock and makes the navigation experience much smoother for nighttime drivers. To make the transition more realistic, I suggest adding a warm yellow/amber tint that gradually overlays the map as it shifts into the darker blue/navy of Night Mode. This mimics the natural 'Atmospheric Scattering' seen at sunset, making the visual change feel organic rather than digital.

To have a certain classification of road/highway to have a connection with at or higher highway classification
Some roads on Waze have highway classifications that do not continue. For example, a road close to me has a minor highway classification; when it reaches a round-about, it loses that classification, but in all directions, that classification does not have a connection. These roads should have its particular classification end at another road with the same or higher classification.
