  2. Filter issues as self reported issues

  3. Provide helpful suggestions when showing a save error

    When you display a save error in WME, please give us helpful suggestions on how to resolve the issue, not just a generic "check and try again." Check what? What are we looking for? How do we fix it? What is "modifying GuidanceMode? What are CS Lanes? Saying "Check and try again" doesn't help.

    Example:
    Modifying GuidanceMode is allowed only for CS Lanes
    Suggestion: Check and try again

  4. Disable segment geometry changes in House Number mode

    When in the "Edit House Numbers" mode, the Editor allows changes to segment geometry, but then generates an error when saving the changes. It is very easy to unknowingly edit segment geometry when trying to move a house number stop point. When this occurs, any HNs edited after that geometry change need reverted.

    Please disable segment geometry changes when in HN mode.

  5. URGENT : Possibility to indicate a closed road on Android Auto

    Dear Development team,

    Can you please take this point as priority.

    I'm using daily Waze on Android Auto.

    On Android Auto it is not possible to indicate from the interface when a road is Closed.

    This is a very dangerous situation, when we are driving. As we are totally lost at this moment, Waze is then not able to recalculate, as it will recalculate a way to take the closed road.
    So while driving, as most of the time it is difficult to stop somewhere), we need to unplug the phone, launch waze, indicate the trip as it can have…

  6. Remove Search Disable At Zoom Levels Less Than 12

    It's annoying with the recent implementation of disabling the search bar at zoom levels less than 12 (1 - 11). In places where I'm trying to find a particular location because a city name is repeatedly multiple times in the state I end up having to zoom out to see major roads and match the map up with the DOT reports for mapping closures. Once the zoom level is less than 12 the search feature is disabled so I have to zoom back in just so I can search for the next item on the list.

  7. "Show on map" in UR should zoom in to UR itself, not to its route

    It happens rather often: when I open a UR and click "Show on map", WME zooms in, but the UR isn't visible. I need to zoom out 1-2 levels in order to see the UR and then zoom in to it manually.

    I guess, the algorithm of WME calculates the "Show on map" point basing on the user's route. But the user saw the problem in the point of the report, so WME should zoom in to it.

  8. Emergency Closures and Events/accident reporting

    Allow users to add more than one section of road to a road closure.

    It would be good if emergency closures would show up in the app to influence driving directions, and if we could report closures longer than one section of road.

    I was driving somewhere on the weekend, and there'd been a fatal accident on the Highway at 2 am, but Waze still told me to drive using that section of the highway.

    When I looked the accident had been reported on the app hours before I left, and there were comments on the accident about what sections…

  10. The Ability to add truck restricted routes so drivers do not get tickets.

    As a truck driver, there are routes that are restricted to NO truck traffic. I have received tickets because I was not aware. Late at night it would nice to know if route is restricted because sometimes you cannot see posted signs until it is too late. It is too difficult to safely turn a big truck around past that point...

  11. Display far lanes information when viewing previous build

    When viewing previous build (formerly snapshot mode) it's not possible to see what the far lanes information was. Please add this to the data available when viewing the previous build.

  12. Smoke on Road

    Users should have the possibility to report a common danger in the road: Smoke. It can be from wildfires as described in another suggestion, however roads are not necessarily closed.
    We have dangers like "ice on road" or "snow", however those are never used in countries where winter never gets below 0°C (or is highly unlikely). On the contrary, every year there are fires causing road hazards with visibility dropping considerably.

  14. Improve PopUp in closures

    Hi, im thinking in the posibility to include popup with Pic or Image when we creates a closure or Wazer (N3+) add image to existent closure, i mind, if i Drive with Waze app and that shows pics or photograpy about reason of closures, that helps to Wazers to know the reason and to us (like editors) to keep actualized and clear ending closures.

    Thanks for all!

    Happy Xmass, and a Happy New Year

  15. Traffic data layers in WME for advanced editors

    It would be useful for editors investigating routing issues and making mapping decisions to have a configurable traffic data layer in WME that could show a variety of information collected from drivers. This would include statistics such as the average number of Wazers driving on the segment per day, speed percentiles for drivers on the segment, the "freeflow" speed that Waze is using in routing, and the amount of times that the routing server has used the segment. It would also be useful for editors to be able to see locations where the app consistently has trouble snapping drivers to…

  16. Allow addition of new traffic signal or stop sign where one did not previously exist.

    Allow editors to add a new traffic signal or stop sign. Allow alert similar to RR crossing sound. Set alert to expire 30-45 days after signal or stop sign is put into service.

  19. Address announcement

    When you arrive at your destination have the app say “you have arrived at 12 thirteen st” or something similar. I use Waze through another scheduling app and I always have to check the other app to see what the street number is that I’m actually navigating to

  20. When using the ruler tool in WME, please make nearby geometry handles visible.

    Currently, it is only possible to see the geometry handles when an object is selected for editing and the mouse cursor is very close. Most of the time the ruler tool is used, it is to measure the distance between nodes and/or geometry handles. It would be immensely helpful to be able to see them while using the ruler tool.
