  1. level

    There are some roads/ buildings that are not recorded on the map, but all the edits are limited by level, I feel hard to start being a new volunteer, and I feel disappointed the notice shows me I do not meet the required level after much editing.

    Waze is killing my efforts and not welcoming any new volunteers, I decide not to give my hand to this map anymore.

  3. timeline

    I was accessing the app to see if there was a timeline history on my account as I was trying to see the routes I have been following to compare with other applications and see which ones provide the best routes.
    Recently I experienced some long routes in waze that could have been avoided.

  4. Allow a specific path in a junction box to be Private/access only

    If we have one-way access-only restrictions, it's impossible to map this if other routes are available.

    Looking at the situation in the following graphic:
    https://imgur.com/cJEtlk2

    There's no way to get to some of the streets without using the one road that's open to all traffic.

    Having the ability to set a Private Road type to a particular route in a junction box will help resolve this situation.

  5. Provide an ability to fix divided highway and ramp segment direction

    Currently, when applying closures to divided highways and ramps, we will often get "mixed" segment directions (some A --> B and some B --> A) when multiple segments are selected. It becomes very difficult and error prone to apply a closure in this case. It would be much better if all one-way segments in a region flowed the same direction (I suggest A --> B in the direction of one-way travel), so that when we select multiple segments to apply a closure, they are not "mixed direction". This could be implemented with a WME utility, or could also be applied…

  6. Feature to Report Police sighted driving on-road

    This feature is similar to the already existing police reporting feature. The ability to report on route (driving) police vehicles will allow drivers to be more aware on the road, as well as reduce the number of accidents caused by speeding, mobile device usage, and/or other distractions and activities.

  8. Add ability to mark Map Comments as critical with increased visibility

    Please add a way to mark some Map Comment (MC) points as "critical" (as opposed to "informational"), with increased visibility. Instead of a small white dot, for example, you could display a slightly larger black-and-white or red-and-white bullseye. You could perhaps even add (gentle!) animation, such as gradual pulsing.

    Why do I suggest this? Several times now, I have encountered oversights by editors who seemed to have missed important information in a nearby MC Point. These well-intentioned but uninformed edits degraded the driver experience until they were discovered and repaired. I've asked around and have come to three conclusions:

  11. Avisos de Incendios en el camino

    muchas veces en las rutas suelen haber incendios forestales que pueden causar poca visibilidad o incluso cierto riesgo para algunos vehículos o motos.

  12. In the APP: Allow continued writing after selecting a suggestion when writing addresses.

    When typing in the app, you suggest what i want to write below the input box. That's all fine, except if i select one of your suggestions it doesn't let me continue writing (rather, it uses the selected option directly). This is very frustrating since most of the times your suggestion is only almost correct (lacking house number, etc). It would be much better if your suggestion filled the input box and then let me continue writing before using the selection.

  13. No feedback provided if permalink is unable to select items

    Currently there is no feedback given if one or more items are not selected when opening a permalink (i.e segments, places, URs, etc.).

    For instance, I have a document with PLs of segments that are always closed during events (such as stadiums). If a segment ID is changed and therefore no longer linked in the PL, I have no way of easily knowing this.

    Please consider providing some sort of warning if WME is unable to locate all the linked items.

  14. Coming up to your destination

    The app no longer gives an indication that you are near your destination or whether your destination is on the left or right anymore. I am constantly driving past my destination before I notice it. The app doesn't even "redirect" as I drive past.

  15. Center the elevation in the box

    When editing the elevation, currently the number in the elevation box is left justified. This puts it right next to the negative (-) sign making it look like it is a negative elevation.

    I recommend center justifying the number to make it more obvious what the actual number is.

  16. Stick to main roads - in UK

    Alongside the ‘avoid single track’ vote I also suggest there is a ‘stick to main roads’ option. Waze seems very keen to send me down twisty side roads where it’s hard to pass as there are cars parked on both sides, it sends me down country lanes which are NOT faster and through little villages, which, although scenic, can be very tiring on a long journey. Also, the side streets and single track lanes often lead to a tricky right turn (UK) onto a fast road, even a tricky left turn. I like Waze for the notifications of speed limits,…

  17. Display clogged and cluttered with senseless labels of streetnames

    Quite often, in dense areas, the display of my cellphone is cluttered with adjacent streetnames shown as big labels. These labels/names hide the map details (i.e. approaching turns, exits etc.). So I am distracted by zooming in and out and panning the screen.
    I would REALLY like the opportunity, to switch OFF the streetname label.

  18. Place Hours: Sunrise to Sunset

    When adding Places, especially outdoor places (such as parks, playgrounds, beaches, etc), there are often posted hours saying the Place is open only sunrise to sunset, or conversely that the Place is closed sunset to sunrise. Unfortunately, the existing Place hours interface doesn't allow for these kinds of hours, only HH:mm times. As sunrise and sunset times change constantly, and in some places drastically due to orbital motion of the earth and time changes due to daylight savings times, it is impractical to estimate open/closing times using HH:mm formats.

    It would be beneficial to both app users and map editors…

    Australia has combined speed and red-light cameras, so we need to be able to add this new type of camera.
