  1. Editar valores dos combustíveis nos postos pelo WME (Editor)

    Seria interessante, se tivéssemos condições de atualizar os valores de combustíveis nos postos diretamente pelo WME (Editor de Mapas de Waze), pois, eu passo nos locais e nem sempre consigo editar na hora por conta do transito, contudo, acredito que os valores poderiam ficar mais atualizados deste forma. Além de quê, eu trabalho com rede de posto e boa parte deles, ficam com o mesmo valor.

  2. "Hide street name" option

    Include a checkbox near the street name for segments, so that when it is selected the name of the street does not appear on the live or client map. This would be useful for segments that have a name that would benefit directions, but could be confusing to see on the map. For example, seeing the name "Main St Frontage Road" on the app, especially when zoomed out enough that the name appears right over "Main St", could easily cause confusion and take longer for the driver to comprehend the map, especially if they are familiar with the area.

  3. Time based speed limits

    Speed limits are not always a fixed ones. For example , roads around the schools have a speed limit of 30 kmph during the morning and evening hours. Whereas this limit is not valid for Sundays and during the rest of hours in a day.

  4. Fix the lane width and lane guidance interface

    You have "Number of lanes" listed twice for two different things. 1) the number of lanes at the start of the segment (incoming used for lane width) and 2) number of lanes (outgoing used for lane guidance arrows).

    Recommend having the lane width changed to "Incoming number of lanes" and lane guidance changed to "outgoing number of lanes"

    Yes after you get used to the current configuration it can be figured out but it is never a good practice to have two different items with the same label on a single interface.

    Also the Displayed lane guidance arrows are just…

  5. Remove unpaived attribute from Off-road / Not maintained segments

    An Off-road / Not maintained segment is unpaived by definition and should not have the unpaived attribute. We encountered navigation problems to destinations on such segments because of this attribute, so in Israel we don't allow to set this attribute. New editors are not aware of this problem, and think that they should set it to unpaived, and we have to explain it to them.
    Please remove this attribute in this type of segments in the WME, and it will save a lot of effort.

  6. Allow editor comments in URs

    Allow editors to add comments to URs that do NOT go the reporter.
    Editors often have suggestions for possible reasons for URs, that other editors may not be aware of.

  7. Show Entry Point Name changes in POI history and PUR

    I noticed that Changes to the name of Entry Points of places won't show up in the POI history, it simply says "Updated Entry Points".

    This also affects PURs, since you don't know what the Wazer/Editor is suggesting until you accept it.
    I reckon those requests mostly get declined since there's no visible change.

    My suggestion is to add those name changes to the history and PURs.

  8. Select left hand drive or right hand drive vehicle

    My car is a left hand drive vehicle however while using the app on an android headunit the directions are on the left side of the screen while the map is on the right hand side of the screen which is very hard to see. I suggest an option if your car is a left hand drive vehicle to swap these two and revert back if it is a right hand drive vehicle.

  10. Clear direction cache when WME edits are made

    Often when WME edits are made affecting routing to an address, the Wazer still gets the same incorrect routing because the old data is cached. Then editors get another UR because the Wazer thinks the changes were never made, and we have to explain how to clear the incorrect data from the cache. That can be a problem for those who are technologically-challenged. Not to mention time-consuming for editors who have to walk them through it, sometimes exchanging multiple messages with the Wazer. Can Wazedev find a way to automatically clear incorrect data from the cache when edits have been…

  11. Ability to readjust junction boxes

    At the moment junction boxes can be drawn when they are being created. After the junction box is saved, the form of the boxes can't be adjusted anymore.

    This is problematic because:
    a) Now it is possible to move nodes inside a junction box. But if the junction box is too small, there is not enough space to sufficiently correct and move a node.

    b) If the junction box is not sufficient it must be deleted and recreated in order to correct some bad edits. This leads to a loss of all saved cross-times, which affects routing for a period…

  12. Add the ford option

    Waze should add another option for ford, along with the existing ones: "Unpaved", "Tunnel", etc.

    In the Waze Map Editor, the editor could choose this option for the entire length of the road that passes through a body of water.

  14. Particular and recurring restrictions

    Sometimes I faced uncommon recurring restrictions to be applied on a segment, for example:
    - every first sunday of every month;
    - every third thursday of even months;
    - every last saturday of every month.

    There is NO WAY to do it automatically in WME, because the editor is unable to know which is the first occurrence of sunday every month and so on, meaning I have to edit those restrictions manually, and I will for sure forget about them.

    Developing a built-in tool for these particular cases could be globally very useful.

  15. Control point / guard house on road

    I would like to recommend Waze add a map editing / issue feature for a road control checkpoint. A checkpoint is a common element of various roads around the world and would be important for Waze to add the ability to indicate it.

  16. Remove multiple closures

    If you have a list of closures that need to be removed, it would be good to have a way of removing them in one go. Either by a selection check box option, or just a single Remove All option.

  17. Not a helpful shortcut

    Funneling drivers onto Dinnick Crescent (Toronto) at rush hour instead of continuing to the light at Mt. Pleasant and Lawrence actually creates a worse, or equally bad lineup, as there is no ability to turn left (west) onto Lawrence. The traffic on Lawrence is solid for several blocks and drivers don't make room for those turning left, which then creates a lineup of cars on Dinnick with angry drivers who want to turn right. It would save time to simply stay on Mt. Pleasant and wait for the light.

  18. Modify the display when showing history of Turn Guidance

    When checking the history of changes to turn guidance, the side panel is too narrow to display the Turn Guidance image (both before and after images)
    The box for displaying the arrow takes up half the width (although the proportions are consistent with how its displayed) we don't need that much space used when checking the history.

    I am not sure what other changes might be possible, maybe also providing the text fields as text (it would allow us to see if the change was with information in the text field.

  19. Dismiss auto completion of segment name in WME

    When providing segment names, sometimes the auto completion overrides correct street names with the already provided wrong title. I found no other way of overriding it except deleting the wrong name from all segments that use it and saving them without a name. Afterwards it's possible to add the name. This is especially problematic when one just needs to adjust something from lower to upper case and the other way round.

    In my opinion there should be an option like a cross at the end of the auto completion menu that closes it and offers the ability to provide a…

  20. Exit numbers on freeways that change the voice instruction

    In some countries, including here in Australia, freeway exits often have exit numbers on the signs. Currently, we include these in the ramp segment's name. This means that, for example, a voice instruction may sound like this:

    "In 1 kilometre, exit to the left onto Exit 24: C407 - Clyde Road to Berwick"

    You can see how the word "exit" is repeated. If we could mark exit numbers on the map, then the voice instruction could give a more natural sounding sentence, for example:

    "In 1 kilometre, take exit 24 on the left onto C407 - Clyde Road to Berwick"
