Issue tracker, disabling automatic refresh after closing for example UR
Issue Tracker is otherwise good but one part of it's behaviour is driving me nuts!
When you close for example an UR it refreshes the list automatically -> You lose track where you were on the list. So you end up clicking same reports over and over again every time you close something...
I liked the old UR list behaviour better when solved one's stayed on the list until you refreshed it, you never lost the track where you were on the list. And there is a refresh button on Issue Tracker so WHY does it also have to refresh…
63 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on the option to disable automatic refresh. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

"Check and try again"
Save error suggestions should provide useful, actionable info to the editor to help them know what to do to solve the problem.
"Check and try again" isn't helpful. Check what?

I would like to see a navigation function with detailed diagrams. (Since I am using a translation function, the text may be unnatural.)
nice to meet you. I am editing waze maps in Japan. I don't speak English so I use translation software. Therefore, there may be some parts of the text that are incorrect, so please forgive me.
Japanese car navigation systems have a function that displays a diagram that reproduces the shape of the intersection and which road to turn to when passing through an intersection or junction. However, that feature only supports some intersections.
It looks like the diagram on the right side of the screen in this image: https://panasonic.jp/car/navi/products/HA02_HE02/img/top/pic_01.png
Therefore, I would like to request that waze introduce such…4 votes -

Max/Min Speed Limit
The idea is to display a minimum speed limit also in blue color with a maximum speed limit (already available on the map). Most of the main Highways in the UAE have max & min speed limits. You can get a fine for driving lower than minimum speed also. for eg. E11 (110/60), E311 AbuDhabi side (140/120)

Street Parking
We have parking lot roads that cover most parking situations, but there's not a great mechanism for handling street parking on public streets where it doesn't make sense to mark a road as a parking lot road. Examples: Many residential neighborhoods, many downtown areas.
Suggestion is to add a flag to all driveable road types except freeway and PLR/PR to indicate "street parking is allowed", along with pricing information similar to how we handle parking lot areas. This could be part of the next phase of the parking project.

Closed Place - Permanent/Temporary
Suggestion:
"Place Closure" Feature.
Please provide an option for editors to mark any place as closed, preferably with permanent closure or temporary closure options. Based on these two choices, branching options should be displayed.
For example, if a place is marked as permanently closed, the reason should be displayed along with an option to delete the place from the map.
If it is temporarily closed, options for duration and reason should be shown.Additionally:
Display a warning to drivers before starting the journey, along with a red icon indicating that the place is closed.Many people I have spoken to…

Disable street name popups on the map when using Apple CarPlay?
I have a problem with the map when using Apple CarPlay. The car's display shows constantly changing large, annoying blocks (popups) with street names. Those blocks often fall over critical parts of the map I'm just driving to. That's why I can't see where I need to go on the map. For example, an upcoming intersection will be completely covered. I use the map with the setting to always keep north at the top (just in case that makes a difference).
My proposal is to create an option in the settings to enable and disable these blocks. This makes the…3 votes -
Editing of primers for maps
I see in the application only two map views "default" and "map editors". I think it is interesting if you can choose the colors yourself, for example. Highway - blue, national road - red, etc.

More informative options for the GPS layer colours (colour by speed or age)
Currently, the arrows on the GPS layer are coloured by direction. It would be useful for editors to be able to choose between that and at least two other options: colour by speed, to help editors understand historical traffic patterns and troubleshoot routing decisions; and colour by age, to help editors spot roads that may have been recently realigned or closed.

Allow photos to be used in reporting chats on WME
It should be allowed to insert photos in chats with users when they report a problem, this will make it easier for us to solve the type of problem that exists on the map. It could be a low resolution image only to better identify the problem

Make easier to select segments
Sometimes we need to do a bulk alteration in several segments, like to change max-speed, directions and so. Although it is possible to select all the street, sometimes, we don't need to change all the segments in the street.
Also, if a person has some mobility disability or dificulties, it is common they lost their selection of several segments because either clicked in a wrong place or not hold the ctrl key.
The suggestion is either a creation of a 'Selection mode' that can be activated and allows the user to click in the desired elemnts or a checkbox like…6 votes -

Disable and restore to default of the issue tracker filters
Please add two important features to the issue tracker:
1. Temporarily disable all filters in the issue tracker (show all URs, PURs etc.), without changing the filters, so that the editor can later on enable the filters in order to have the defined filters without the need to redefine them.
2. Restore the issue tracker to its default state, so that all the previously changed filters will be returned to their default state.
These features will be very useful.39 votes -
Make it easy to erase all the trips without having to do it individually.
I do deliveries for Walmart, and at the end of day, I have more than 20 trips, and that adds up pretty quickly, My saved address are always at the bottom of the list, and it would just be easier if I could erase all those trips at the end of the day, without having to do it individually.

Notation des destinations
Bonjour,
Une fonctionnalité intéressante serait les notes sous formes d'étoiles par exemple car très visuel. C'est une idée très similaire a Google Map mais qui serait toujours un plus pour nous la communautée de Waze

Propose map changes that I'm not allowed to because of my level
As a Level 1 Editor, I would like to propose a change in a map where I'm not allowed to so the change is not applied until an editor with the adequate level approves it.
