  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Representation of average speed meters in Lithuania

    Average speed meters in Lithuania measure not only the average speed in the specified zone, but also the instantaneous speed at the beginning and end of the section. Therefore, the beginning and end of the average speed measuring section should be marked on the map with speedometer symbols.

  6. Change the wording in the automatic email when an editor comments on a UR

    When a user reports a map problem in the app, then an editor responds to it in the Waze Map Editor, the reporter gets an automatic email that says:

    "An editor from the Waze mapping community wants to solve the problem, but needs some more information.", followed by the editor's comment.

    The problem with this wording: This is not always true. If we can identify the cause of the report without needing clarification, then often we may simply use the comment box to thank the reporter for their report. Thus, the comment box isn't always used to ask for more…

  9. Giving option to chose if place would be visible on map or not

    Please allow to chose whether place will be visible in application or not.

    Currently places larger then 500m2 are automatically visible, but many times it is easier to map with area than with point. Sometimes points are hardly visible due to color, zoom level etc...

  10. Include "Electronic Fence" as an option on radars.

    In Brazil, several cities are implementing a security system called "Electronic Fencing", whose objective is to monitor city traffic, in addition to detecting stolen vehicles. However, the community has used "Speed Radar" signage to indicate where the electronic fence cameras are located, confusing many day-to-day users, who think it is a speed camera.

  11. message of update request appear clearly when open the app

    in wme when we ask reporter about somethink, only 5% replay, I think there is a problem with people interaction, so it is better to show the users the message directly when open the app

  12. A better separation between different road types in the layers panel

    When working on complex junctions, tunnels, train tracks, and pedestrians, and when all of them are in the same area, the map becomes a real mess and is hard to work with. I suggest adding additional layers to toggle off the visibility of road types and a layer to hide tunnels (or change their transparency at least and make them unselectable and disable snapping).

    Take a look at this picture, and you'll immediately understand the issue.

  14. I am the GIS Analsyt for Saluda County, SC and I am looking for a way to share my road centerline and address point databases with Waze.

    I just completed a readdressing project where our entire unincorporated area of our county was readdressed. I would like to be able to submit the current databases to Waze so that correct information is in the Waze maps. I can't find anywhere to do that.

  15. Ability to select long stretches of road

    A feature that would allow defining a start and an end point and which would automatically select the road between them would be very helpful. There is somtimes a need to select a length of road in the tens or even hundreds of kilometres. (The alt-click trick doesn't work for such long distances.)

    Two use case examples:

    1) RTC on long stretch of highway

    There have been several highway closures due to winter storms recently. Selecting the entire road to be closed requires lots of panning and selecting individual segments, which is very time-consuming.

    2) Making changes to long stretches…

  16. Add the ability to edit improper road closures, such as flooding on one end only.

    Some roads are flooded at one end, but open to residents on the other side, yet the closure lists the entire road as closed. This is a disservice to the residents living on open sections.

  19. Exempting some editors from waiting for changes to be applied to the map

    Hi .
    I don’t know if Waze can exempt some editors who dedicated their lives to editing from the 24-hour waiting period for changes.
    Several reasons support this idea:
    such as editors having limited time due to family and work commitments.
    Some actions require immediate attention, and exceptions could enhance map accuracy, accelerate change application, and impress users with faster updates, attracting new users.

    Your thoughts stemmed from adding a Gate to a mall, experiencing instant change app, prompting the idea of applying this efficiency to the entire map.

    thanks!

  20. Suggest "Warehouse" and/or "Loading Dock" categories for Places in WME

    Lots of warehouses in my area, lots of truck drivers are dropping Places that would meet this criteria. They usually select the Parking Lot category, and i generally end up changing them to Factory/Industrial.
