  1. Make route color in Apple CarPlay adjustable

    I have a problem with the contrast of the map when using Apple CarPlay. On my iPhone the contrast is excellent and the route I have to follow is easy to distinguish from the rest on the map.
    On the display in the car, the contrast between the route to be followed and the other map elements appears to be very poor. This means you have to pay close attention to which line on the map is your route. As a result, attention is diverted too much from the road.
    My proposal is to make the colors of the route…

  2. Add an alert feature for vehicle driving in wrong direction on highway

    Hi,

    Recently in my neighborhood there was an incident where a southbound vehicle travelled on a northbound lane which resulted in a fatal accident. I have not been able to stop thinking about this incident.

    When this incident occurred, there were several calls made to 911 by commuters who noticed the vehicle driving on the wrong side. Is it possible that Waze could tie up with 911 or capture this information is some way and get an alert out to other commuters who are unaware of such a vehicle? Although this would not prevent this type of incident, it would…

  3. Correction- Brazil

    In Brazil, using English directions, many highways are designated as "SP-###", which stands for "SãoPaulo". The audio direction is calling out ALL SP highways as "Sulfur mono Phosphide" which is a chemical formula abbreviation S P. Every time an SP hwy is called out, she literally says "sulfur mono phosphide" each time, rather than São Paulo, or simply SP. Needs correction. Very annoying 😑

  4. Login: username error x design flaws

    A novice user approached me saying they tried to log into WME, but their password wasn't working.
    They said they reset the password several times, but nothing worked...

    They sent me a screenshot. See if you guys can figure out the problem.

    https://i.imgur.com/JwfFoRz.jpeg

    Reasons to blame the user:

    1) As soon as the user accesses the page, the phrase "Enter your username and password" appears.

    2) As soon as the user accesses the page, the placeholder "Username" appears in the text entry field.

    However, the user entered their email in place of the username. It's the user's fault!

    Reasons to…

  5. Traffic Indication on UR reports

    When dealing with Update Requests, I'm seeing quite a few which has dubious waze navigation instructions where having an indication of the traffic levels at the exact point of the report being made would be quite advantageous.

    In this example, was the bad navigation due to traffic levels, or do we have a serious mapping issue? Can't tell with the limited amount of information made available by the UR report.

    Having such tools available would help greatly with managing the map

  6. Event edit mode in WME

    During Event Mode you only can select segments and you will not be able to edit them. Only RTCs are possible.
    You also can select one previous entered event (MTE) --> this MTE will be preselected for RTCs during event mode. Also the name of the RTC will be the same the whole time.
    Benefits: You only have to selects the segments, enter date & time and therefore save a lot of time. You also won't be able accidentally to move segments, nodes or POIs.
    Also GPS, my area, POI, issue ans script layer will be deselected automatically (as an…

  7. Off road / Unmaintained road should not have the unpaved option

    The "Off-road / Unmaintained road" type is almost always unpaved, and in cases where it is paved, it is not to be treated as paved. Thus the "Unpaved" attribute of such a segment is not needed. Moreover, it may sometimes cause an unwanted route when there are some segments that have the unpaved attribute whereas some don't have that attribute.
    I suggest removing that attribute from that type of segment.

  8. WME specific report types

    Waze map editors can access a wider range of report types on the Waze app, including speed bumps. These reports are listed with their corresponding locations on the Waze map editor website, allowing editors to accurately add speed bumps where they were reported. Other report types include speed cameras, tollbooths, sharp curves, new places, and more.

  11. Multimodal Routing

    Traffic navigation isn't limited to cars. Waze could expand to include cycling, walking, and even public transportation options. By incorporating real-time data on bike lanes, pedestrian paths, and bus schedules, Waze could become a one-stop shop for navigating any mode of transportation in a city.

  14. Allow the toggle of speed camera notification

    Currently it seems you only get notified of a speed camera when going above the speed limit. Which admittedly comes in handy most of the time however when smart motorways reduce the speed limit, Waze won’t notify you fully, compared to if you were going above the speed limit of a normal motorway. Possibly either inform you fully all the time or allow there to be a setting for people that wish to use this feature would be very helpful.

  15. In alerts, add a button to report that there is a fixed speed bump in the road.

    In the alerts the user can report, having a button to report that there is a fixed speed bump in the road would be useful.

  18. Move the Triangle reporting icon to the LEFT side of the screen on Car Play to make it easier for the driver reach

    FOR SAFETY REASONS...
    Moving the report triangle to the left side of the Car Play screen would make if FAR easier for the DRIVER to report Hazards and other actions.
    Currently, having the triangle on the RIGHT side of the screen requires reaching and taking eyes completely off the road to accurately click the icon. This is especially critical on newer vehicles with LARGE screens like Toytota Tundras. Moving the triangle to the Left side of the Screen would enhance safety and be easier to reach.

  19. Add keyboard shortcuts for handling of URs

    Another suggestion related to "mark as solved" and "mask as non identified" actions is now in the backlog.
    Those actions are frequently made when handling URs, and would deserve shortcuts:
    - "Send" (sending a comment)
    - selecting the comment area (allowing to start typing a comment)
    - closing the window of the UR (perhaps via the ESC key)
