  3. The Speed Limit Icon is difficult to be seen. It could be same size as the Actual Speed Icon size.

    I'm 69 Y/O My car (Audi Q5) has a small Apple Car Play screen. The Speed Limit Icon (Square White and Black) is difficult to be seen. Its size is to small. It could have the same size of the Actual Speed Icon (Round Black and red). The map allouds to bear a little bit bigger the Sped Limit Icon. IS it possible to increase it? Thank you for your support.

  4. Add general destination information to URs

    URs have been improved by adding more information in WME 2.206, and it would be nice to continue to add information that doesn't jeopardize the privacy of the reporter.

    My idea would be to add information on how the stop point of a user's route was obtained - whether it be a house number, house number interpolation, RPP, Google address, Waze place, Google place, etc. Specifics on the geographic location wouldn't be needed, it would just be very beneficial to know how the stop point was chosen. We get a lot of URs complaining about navigation ending at the wrong…

  6. Flagging matches with permanently closed venues

    With the "Enhanced Matching" between Waze and Google venues going live, some Waze venues are matched with 'Permanently closed' place from Google Maps.

    While these are accurate matches, we won't know these places are permanently closed until an editor interacts with the place or a user reports it to us.

    My suggestion is to flag such matches to be reviewed by editors. A PUR or something like that.

    Es gibt wichtige Einschränkungen wie: Maximal zulässige Gesamtmasse eines Fahrzeugs, Maximale Fahrzeughöhe, Verbot für bestimmte Fahrzeugklassen (z.B. LKW) . Diese sollten über den Editor eingegeben werden können.

  9. Issue Tracker: better filtering of Map Suggestions

    In the issue tracker, we can filter Map Suggestions by status: Open, Closed, or All, with a few subcategories under Closed. However, "Open" suggestions include (a) suggestions with status "Lapsed" and (b) suggestions that can't be accepted or rejected because "Change already applied to the map." Please add filters that would allow us to exclude (a) and/or (b) from the Open category.

  11. Cambiar icono en modo moto

    In Car mode, you can change the icon to another one. But in MOTORCYCLE mode, this is not possible and a very thin motorcycle (2D) appears that blends in with the road and is difficult to see easily when riding a motorcycle.
    You should be able to change to a more visible one, such as the arrow or triangle that stands out more. This way, you will avoid taking your eyes off the road more than necessary.

  12. rerouting

    n the city of arlington, texas today 6/11 at 11 am, the waze app failed to reroute thousands of drivers when the train broke down stranding thousands of drivers. Drivers should have been rerouted to 360 or to one of the 2 overpasses/
    2 over passes exist , 1 at the police station and one at division street. Why did the programmers not know this? thanks

  16. Allow to default sort the searches by distance

    when searching for a place such as "costco" for example, allow your searches to always search by distance from route if already in a drive, or distance from the current location if not in a drive already.

  17. Display router-enabled U-turns as always green

    WME displays some U-turn restrictions as red when routing will treat them as green. This is VERY confusing.

    Specifically, we are told that when a driver following a Street roadway type reaches a junction node to a Parking Lot Road, the Waze router is allowed to offer a U-turn at that junction node -- REGARDLESS of the U-turn setting displayed by WME (we are also told this is true of Street/Private Road junction nodes as well -- and perhaps others?).

    WME should not show editors red turn restrictions when in fact drivers will experience green turn restrictions. This can lead…

  18. 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…

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
