Add More Culture / Entertainment Subcategories
It would be nice to have more subcategories for Culter/Entertainment venues. A couple of examples would be Bowling Alley and Arcade. When I look at bowling alleys in Waze they are flagged as the the main category, but I feel having a subcategory for them would help with users locating them.
I don't think this is too much to ask when we have subcategories for Race Track and Theme Park which is significantly fewer in number.
A list of culture/entertainment subcategories that come to mind that would be helpful:
- Bowling Alley
- Arcade
- Mini Golf (Putt-Putt)
- Escape Room

Reduce the number of URs handled by editors
I was wondering if we should limit editors from answering new URs to 100 or 200. Every time I tried to look for any unanswered URs when I logged back into WME after overnight sleep, I always missed it by a few minutes or hours (in my area I usually keep an eye on) by another editor. It's also like one editor isn't giving other active editors a chance to do their own question to the new UR (that pops up), making them rage quit.

Impossible for Level 1 to advance
As a level 1 editor, you need to gain experience to learn how to properly apply edits to the map for the betterment of the community. But as a Level 1 editor, you essentially can't edit anything. I understand not allowing a novice editor to make changes and potentially break the map. I understand there could be malicious actors who could sabotage this platform. But as it stands now, this voluntary map editing feature will die.
The amount of edits needed to move up levels is high. I'm fine with that IF edits are allowed. Sooner or later, the senior…

Segment restriction type that prompts user to confirm access (gates)
Currently we create gates using PR segments. However, this rarely has the intended effect. Those with access (say a gated community) don't get a route through a gate this is most convenient or worse, if all entrances are gated, then restriction is meaningless other than to ensure it's not a through-way.
I'm suggesting a segment restriction type that would generate a pop-up at start-state of a route asking if the user has access to a segment (gate) if that's the shortest route. Ideally, Waze would remember that for that user in the future. This could potentially be used for restricted…

Easier closure/construction reporting
Add option under selection to report a closure on a segment as closed.
After u-turns and some other turns the arrow doesn't show where the closure is to be able to report it. In order to drive the route to reach the closure is not always feasible as well.
Right now under the map editor closing a road takes level 3 permissions, but would be helpful if as a level 1 editor that we could atleast select the segment and put notes in on where the closure is and the duration that is expected to then be applied by a…

AED
My suggestion would be to include the locations for AEDs (lay defibrillators). Because it is very helpful in an emergency.

Use RTC history to create new RTC on the same segments
It would be very convenient to be able to re-create a RTC based on the RTC history for one or more segments. This would also require being able to choose to select all segments that were included in the original RTC, as well as optionally proposing start / end times.
Two use case examples:
1) Recurring RTCs where the schedule is not known far in advance
For example, there is nightly road construction on a given highway, but this may not repeat every night for various reasons. The actual closure is only published a few hours before, and so requires…

don't allow dirt roads
I wish when I select "Don't allow" dirt roads it would navigate the route with the least possible dirt roads. It still routes me over dirt if it's a better route but don't allow to me means don't allow not avoid. I understand if the destination but it should still find the route with least dirt.

Bus Gate, Lane warning for private vehicles
Bus Gate and Bus Lane camera Warning
Since this is the same as getting a fine by speed and red light cameras, preventing private vehicles from entering wrong bus lanes and getting fined, since bus lane warning road markings in the UK are kept to a very small sizes, for maximum fine generation by local governments

Horrible new display! Wrecked into a ditch what happened to the exit numbers
WHY would you put the miles left ABOVE the exit you’re supposed to take? And what’s worse is you also make the long names of the exits the SAME font size as the exit number. I’m in Atlanta and almost had a wreck because I was so dang busy reading the stupid street names of the exit and the miles left, I barely could see the actual EXIT NUMBER and had to run into a ditch desperately trying to read where the exit number was. Please reconsider changing it back b cause I was not ready for that. Splot seconds…

It would be a great idea if the buttons to show the types of existing roads had the colors of the different types of roads in the WME.

Incluir alerta de quebra-molas. Hoje não temos como alertar sobre a existência de quebra-molas nas vias urbanas ou rodovias.
Em várias vias temos construções de quebra-molas pelas prefeituras e mesmo em rodovias, onde este pode provocar acidentes caso o motorista não saiba da sua existência. Hoje não temos como incluir alerta de quebra-molas, o que é um obstáculo muito importante de dar ciência ao motorista.

Store state in URL
I want to bookmark certain configurations of WME that contain certain layers or UR filter settings. This is not possible at the moment since the state of UR filters or layers aren't saved in the URL.

AGGIORNAMENTO ANDROID AUTO
Ciao! non so se è una particolarità solo mia oppure no , notavo utilizzando l applicazione da android auto non è sempre in linea con lo smartphone, manca sempre qualcosina anche una cosa banale come impostare le voci.
Sarebbe davvero eccellente se riportasse tutte le opzioni dello smart.1 vote
