Let me create custom routes on the map editor, that can be pushed to my device(s).
I know all the best routes from work to home and vice versa. Let me create those routes in the map editor then "push" or I can "fetch" them to my device(s). Then when I get in my car and open waze and asks if I'm going home or to work the first routes it pulls from are my custom ones, and creates a heat map list or something that I can choose from.

Custom layers for map editor.
It could be helpful in map editing, if users could add their own layers. Just for their own use, for example shape or wms.
Users may have access to local map layers that they can use to add landmarks or edit roads. At the moment I can only rely on blurry bing aerial map, gps tracks and memory.14 votesThanks for your feedback.

Remove Two-Way Segments
Two-way segments are very rarely necessary and are very often overused by map editors to oversimplify maps. Even the smallest "two-way roads" have at least one lane dedicated to each of the two directions. Having each segment representing a single roadway will permit maps and navigation that are more intuitive to the users of the app, and perhaps help avoid the tendency of editors to try to combine separate roadways into one segment.

Color-coded according to speed in editor
A feature that had been good when you are editing speed limits would be to go into a "Edit mode for the speed limit" just as the house number.
That all roads would be color-coded according to speed. and roads with no speed would be gray, so you can easily see which roads have the limitation and which have not.Another thing that would be great is that you can put limits whereever on the road and not just at a crossing. Again, just as the house number.

Map Editor - More edit room than driving area
Allow editors to have more room to edit than just the area they recently drove. This would allow editors to help each other out better than they currently are. For example I'm a L1 and I've had multiple people help me and they couldn't help edit anything b/c they haven't been to my area which caused confusion when they tried to explain what they see and how to fix it. I've also wanted to help in other areas that I can't drive to on a normal basis and can't because I haven't been there recently. Removing editing restrictions on area…

Drive to Feature on Cartouche
While editing the map I would like a separate layer so that I can make notes and pin it to areas of the map that I would like to visit. These online notes should only be viewable by the user who made the notes. It would also be necessesary to navigate to these Points of Interest and have the notes pop up so that pictures can be taken of the surrounding so that the Waze map can reflect real world situations out there on the road.
The Waze notes layer (home computer) and the Android phone should be synced so…

Autodetect road types
Road classification seems to be a large source of disagreement and unecessary effort between map editors, part because we know it is used for routing.
The classification should be autodetected based on average speeds and not editable by users, like average speed.

Recommend change link for Parking Lot Operator Fixes
The "Add an operator to the list" link under parking lot operator selection makes it sound like you can only add new operator names.
Once you go to the link you see that the form is actually for more than additions; "Use this form to add, delete or replace parking lot operators that will be shown in the Client."
Recommend changing "Add an operator to the list" to the following "Operator list change suggestion". If you want a second line "(Add, Delete, Merge, or Spelling Correction)". This is more descriptive of what the form can actually do.

Unfortunately parking lots are low in priority, and therefore this is currently not planned.
Thank you!

Suppress Live Map Overlay
Recently a change to Live Map introduced an overlay and call to action footer with information on how to download the Waze app when the URL contains a permalink to a location.
(Image attached)
While this is great for users that have not yet been introduced to Waze, map editors do not need to see it every time they open Live Map from within WME. Fortunately, if the following query string parameters are appended to the URL, both the overlay and call to action are suppressed:

Thank you for this suggestion.
This suggestion is related to Live Map and not WME.In addition, We don’t have the overlay anymore, and therefor we won’t move forward with the suggestion.
Thanks!

Allow taking a Place picture from Streetview
Requirements: the Streetview panel is open and the place layer is on
Then: allow creating a box on the Streetview panel. When a box is drawn add a bar saying: now select a place to apply this picture.
Add an X on the box to delete it. Allow the user to resize the box.
Set a minimum size and a fixed ratio (the one used by the client) for a decent resolution.
Drawing a new box removes the previous one if present.If then the user clicks on a place, ask him:
"would you like to set this selection as…

As mention in the post, this is something that we won’t do, as these images are copy righted.
Thanks!
