  1. Ubicación de lugar turístico mal indicado en el mapa

    Buenas tardes. Hay una ubicación mal indicada en la app. Es Pan y Oliva de Zuelo en Mendoza, Argentina. La ubicación está cerca pero lleva a un lugar donde la ruta es intransitable en días lluviosos y tenemos problemas con los turistas que se desvían usando waze.
    La dirección exacta es Ruta Provincial nro 33, km 7,5. Fray Luis Beltrán, Maipú, Mendoza, Argentina. Utilicé la app para llegar a esta dirección esta mañana, ya que es el lugar donde trabajo y al ingresar a la Finca el mapa de Waze no marca ninguna calle.
    Puedo dar como referencia la ubicación…

  2. Default new users in US and UK to Imperial units

    Since the wonderful new Edit Suggestions tool has been released, we have seen many (too many) suggestions from well-meaning users in the US to change speed limits to values like 16 or 31 mph. Obviously these users were set by default to use metric units without realizing it.

    If a user tries to edit using the WME for the first time in a country that uses Imperial speed limits (which I believe is only the US, UK, Anguilla, Antigua, Barbados, and the Cayman Islands), their units should automatically be set to Imperial by default.

  3. 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.

  4. Avvisi sonori per limite di velocità

    un avviso sonoro più forte e ripetuto nel caso si continui a procedere sopra il limite di velocità. Ovviamente opzionale

  6. the ability to exit navigation without shutting down the app

    just allow us to exit the navigation to and choose a new place instead of the app closing and have to open it again

  7. "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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. When reporting traffic jam other drivers should be able to say "Not There" whenever it clears up

    There are sometimes warnings for a traffic jam with slowness or standstill and the traffic has cleared up, however it seems to stay there on the map for ages.

    This needs to be prompted to the users in the same way. Asking "Still there?"

  11. 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.

  12. Show only active closures

    In the layers menu, under closures, there should be an "Only active" option. When this is enabled, only active closures will be shown in the WME. This would make the WME look "cleaner" and uncluttered.

  13. 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!

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. Resumen de viaje

    Sería muy útil que al final de cada viaje aparezca un resumen con la distancia recorrida, el tiempo de viaje total, la velocidad máxima y la velocidad promedio del viaje. Dado que con frecuencia repetimos los viajes, p.e. de la casa al trabajo y la ruta inversa, también podría incluir un comparativo de distancia y tiempo para esa ruta.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. Holiday based turn/traffic restrictions on Japan

    Traffic/turn restrictions for holidays have not yet been implemented in Japan.
    Please support Japanese national holidays.

    If Sunday becomes a national holiday, Monday falls under the holiday in lieu, etc. There are detailed rules. The dates that fall under holidays are listed in the following law
    https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/law/323AC1000000178/

    Similar proposals outside of Japan have already been implemented and should be less burdensome.

  20. 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?
