  1. Remove RS update location on https://www.waze.com/fr/user/editor/*

    Since RS are in wme, on the editor page those edition are link to 0,0 position.
    Would it be possible to improve the visualization of these editions because it affects the readability of the map?

  2. Feet to Yards please!

    Please give us the option to select Yards (or metres) instead of Feet for distances in the UK. We have been brought up on using yards for distances under a mile (but we are able to use metres as they are similar). Feet as a measure is rarely used in the UK now.

  4. Highlight node closures

    It would be good if there can be a marking of closures if they contain junction node closures. If there are multiple closures on segments (daily from 7-15 for 4 weeks, for example), and you want to change the node closures, it's not possible to determine which have it and which don't without going into the closure. If you then go back out, you return to the top of the list of closures, so it's tedious to keep track where you were.

  5. Disable automatic kinetic / inertial panning of the map

    With decent search functions and new zoom levels, I feel that the kinetic panning of the map behavior is not necessary. I sometimes find it to be a nuisance since I tend to pan the map past my intended point sometimes. Currently, I use a script to make the map static and find this behavior much better to direct.

  6. Route of Last Resort RTC

    Ability to create an RTC (or TBSR) that will permit routing on the segment as a last resort (effectively make it a PR from a penalty perspective).

    This would be very helpful for soft construction closures that are marked "local traffic only"

  7. Inbox indicator should show in the feed, not hide behind the little bell

    Inbox indicator should show in the feed, not hide behind the little bell.

    When sending a forum message to new users they will often not replay because they just DO NOT SEE the notification. The notification was moved from the feed to hide in the menu bar behind a little counter besides a bell icon. It is just not clear enough.

    Please make it so that one cannot mis any inbox messages in WME.

  9. UR Reply via Email

    This is slightly outside the scope of WME Beta, but in general about our ability to provide a better service for end users.

    Allow users to reply to URs via email. Many support systems allow this, and in most cases, the process is fairly simple. The process might be as follows:

    • User submits a request/issue from the app while they drive
    • We (editors) get a pin on the map with submitted details as before
    • User gets an email with a unique response email address (something like 8766123133@requests.waze.com)
    • User gets instructions on how to view the map issue they submitted

  10. Blocking the APPROVAL or EDITS of a place if the corresponding label is off.

    Now that the CREATION of a place if the corresponding label is off is implemented, the same principle should also be applied to APPROVAL or EDITS of those places.

    Otherwise we can be adding duplicates to the map

    See example:

  11. Disable segment geometry snapping

    We see some changes to geometry handles in WME, so here is another suggestion to improve it even more.

    Why do we still have the road snapping behavior if two roads can't intersect together? This behavior is annoying when you try to edit an interchange with multiple intersecting segments, but the editor's snapping concept interferes with you.

  12. calculated average speed of average speed segment

    There are some road segments which have average speed cameras. Almost always the human beings unable to calculate average speed, so instead they simply don't exceed the enforced speed, the max speed, not average. In case if there are obstructions, slow vehicles, turning vehicles in the average speed segment, the real average speed may fall significantly below what was requested by Road Code rules.
    Please add indicator of calculated average speed of passing of the current average speed segment

  13. Real Speed in WME

    It would be nice if one could specify the real speed in WME. The official speed limit is sometimes much higher than the real speed one can drive on certain roads (road condition, etc). Having these too high speeds results in incorrect route calculations. One could say that the algorithm should fix this, but that doesn’t seem to happen and one gets slower routes offered, based on incorrect info. Tools from the competition offer an option to enter real speeds.

  14. [Request] Allow to make streets two way temporarily

    Allow to make streets two way temporarily, like closures, but the other way around.
    Sometimes construction works require you to open another street and turns. And you cannot do this in time by editing map. You can close the streets, but you cant OPEN the streets for some time. I mean one way or with restricted turns.
    So we need an option to temporarily bypass one way setting and closed turns penalty. This may be called Openers :)

  15. events not visible

    please let editors of all levels see events. Not seeing them leads to duplication and wasted time. Low-level editors like me can easily duplicate events just because they can't see existing ones. And by seeing existing one, locals might have additional ideas as to closures and such.

  16. Rearrange RoadShields by moving the boxes with the mouse.

    It would be really great, if we could move RS on WME. It's really tedious when you have to delete RS and search again just to change the order of them. How great would it be if we could rearrange the different RoadShield boxes by moving them with the mouse.

  17. Allow all user levels to report closed or roadworks on map editor

    I'm a level 1 map editor and when driving due to UK Law changes we can no longer use the phone while stopped, it would be an idea to add reporting of road closures roadworks etc, under the map editor similar to the points of interest when we get to our destination via a computer or the Waze app using a pinpoint.

  18. Correct the spelling of Marina del Rey, CA

    Correct the spelling of Marina del Rey (California) in association with the 90 freeway. It is incorrectly spelled as Marina del Ray currently. It should be Marina del Rey.

  19. Improve error message for incorrect password

    Whenever one tries to login into the editor (or any other site) and the password is incorrect, the error message is: "Something went wrong. Try again". It is suggested to add: "Check the Caps Lock and the Keyboard language setting". An even better idea is not to allow insertion of non-English letters, and warn the user while typing the password, and warn for all capital letters when the user clicks on Log in.

  20. Editor Rank Level is not fair

    Waze's point rewards system for editors is unfair and does not promote the entry of new editors or even the permanence of newcomers.

    From Level 1 to Level 2 - Require 3000 map edits
    From Level 2 to Level 3 - Require 25000 map edits

    It´s not feasible for a normal person using just WME without bath scripts

    this will result in a community that does not renew itself.
    It will drive away new editors and weaken the community

    please review this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
