Validation workflow & access to all functions
Hello,
I'm a current level 3 Area Manager and every day I have to deal with bottlenecks because I don't have the necessary level to make changes.
So I have to find a L4 or L5 to do it, explain it to them and get the result.
This is very time-consuming and somewhat archaic these days.I'd like to suggest the following:
Be able to give all editors access to all functions or perhaps from L2 or L3 if we want there to be a minimum of editing experience. As well as adding a validation workflow for functions that currently…9 votes -
Allow comma character (,) to house numbers in segments
We have thousands of addresses of places on highways in our country that are identified by kilometers, so throughout the segment we find addresses numbers like: KM 18,5
This is necessary to have more accurate routes and I believe it applies to other countries.11 votes -
Make the WME Error Messages more user friendly
It would be handy if WME was more detailed in all the error messages.
Like it could at least take you to them so you can see what the issue is and also allow you to easily remove those edits causing the error if you don't have the permissions to make it or someone else has edited the element before you got to it.
The warning notifications haven't really been touched since I started editing and a lot of the time they're not as helpful.
User lukewsaunders even mentioned "for a beginning editor the warnings aren't very helpful and are…

Show fountains / water sources as POI
Add "Water fountain / spring" object to point of interests.
That's useful, specially if you break down, to be able to get some water. I suggest adding the "Fountain / spring" place, maybe with the optional flag "drinkable / not drinkable"1 vote -
Please allow font size change. Letters are too small now.
I think font is too small, and requires taking eyes off road to focus on letters - a safety issue. You can with Google Maps by changing phone settings, but this doesn't work with Waze. I prefer using Waze over G Maps. Please consider adding this option.

Editors' 2do List
Basically having a special context menu or "Editor Report" that will help us remember things to fix once we go into WME. So, this is a communication from production application to WME.
Sometimes we drive and find an error or something that needs to be fixed. so it would be valuable to have a pin, with text or voice notes that would give me details on what to fix so I can go to this list or this special type of reports once I go to WME.
The difference with normal UR's or MP's would be that it will not…

Layer toggling keyboard shortcut for Hazards
There are some discrepancies between the shortcuts and the actual Layer menu when it comes to Hazards. Currently, there are shortcuts to toggle Speed cameras and Railroad crossings only.
However, there are other Hazards with more frequent instances on the map that could also benefit from keyboard shortcuts. In my opinion, a single toggle for the entire Hazards section would be sufficient. Nonetheless, I'd welcome additional individual toggles along with the general one.

Newly reported UR - Poor wording on blank URs
The 4 lines on a new blank UR about there are no comments yet feel free to ask a question is overly worded and takes up a lot of screen space.
It basically makes editors scroll down on every UR to write custom comments.
"No comments yet.
You can ask the Wazer who
submitted this report for more
information."Ask for more info here." sums up all of the above.

A/B Testing of map changes
Imagine if we could test two versions of a navigation instruction with different driver groups and use real data—like User Reports, detours, speed changes, and quick feedback—to see which one works better. This could make a big difference for things like lane guidance, difficult turns, and complex instructions.
A/B testing would give us real insights to help make navigation clearer and safer for drivers everywhere. If we could get Waze on board, it could mean big improvements for the whole map-editing community.
