  1. Copy button for segment/place address

    Very often you have to search info for address while editing maps and it could be made a lot easier by adding a copy button to copy address on properties panel. Or maybe 2 buttons, 1st for just the street name, 2nd for whole address.

  2. Here are several feature ideas that could significantly improve the Waze driving experience:Showing the averag

    1. Average Speed Display
      Showing the average speed between speed cameras or along specific road segments to help drivers maintain legal and safe speeds.

    2. Road Bumps and Potholes Alerts
      Allowing users to report speed bumps, potholes, and damaged road surfaces to warn other drivers and improve ride safety.

    3. Public Restroom Locations
      Adding clearly marked public toilet locations along routes and in urban areas for drivers who need quick stops.

    4. Vehicle Type Selection (Cars & Trucks)
      Enabling drivers to select their vehicle type, including trucks and delivery vehicles, so routes are optimized based on road width, height restrictions, and inaccessible streets.

    5. Multi-Stop…

  4. Fix the bug where it says you must submit current edits for review before you can edit another segment.

    There's a bug where it says, "To edit another section, you must submit current edits for review." However, I have no edits ready to submit. After a few refreshes, one may show up so I deleted any edit shown under the "submit edits" button and start over but end up with the same error message.

    So either there's a bug or you can't edit the speed limit on multiple segments of the same road at the same time? If that's the issue, then that would also be a pain. In about one mile of road in my local neighborhood, I'm…

  5. Add cycling tracks for end-users and "Waze Edit mode"

    Make cycling an option for end-users and in "Edit mode", alongside the existing options for Road, Walking Trail, Roundabout, and Junction box, considering there is more and more bicycle usage across the globe.

  6. Show the direction of travel on one-way streets

    I was driving through a downtown area yesterday that has a lot of one-way streets. I was trying to leave the area, but couldn't see which one-way street was going in the direction I needed to go. Can waze put arrows in the direction of travel allowed on one-way streets?

  7. Event Announcements

    Currently, event announcements remain displayed even after the event has ended.
    Unless they are deleted manually, they stay on the screen and make it difficult to view new announcements.

    Therefore, I would like to request the addition of a feature that automatically deletes event announcements once they have ended.

  9. Pontos de recarga de carros elétricos

    O waze poderia mostrar pontos de recarga elétrica veicular em seus mapas, cada vez mais aumenta o numero de pontos de recarga e a venda de veículos híbridos e elétricos, e nesse ponto indicaria qtd de pontos e a potência do carregador, dando a opção de colocar o preço do KW.

  12. Better gas station search

    Currently when on a drive and I hit the gas station icon it searches along my route but will give me options that are over 100miles away. Usually when I go to search I want to find one soon and much closer. Also the gas prices that are listed on there and marked as updated same day have been very wrong. They need to get picture confirmation to ensure people are entering in the wrong amounts.

  13. Add neighborhoods to places

    Many cities have stores with many locations around the city. These can be hard to distinguish in Waze, since people might not be familiar with the specific street name, and some countries have many streets with no name or similar names. Just as places are assigned to cities, it should also be possible to assign them to a neighborhood (defined based on community guidelines), so it's easier to find and identify places.

    A recent feature allows for neighborhoods from Google to appear in search results, but this request is to define and manage neighborhood areas directly in the WME, either…

  14. Import Addresses for route optimization

    Route4Me just lost functionality so Waze has an opportunity here... especially if you want to offer individuals a free plan but then sell to corporations a route optimization tool for their field reps/drivers.
    I used that app for 5 years and was able to import an excel file with my client addresses, they now shut off that option for individuals and you can only access it from a corporate account.

    Basically if I have 10 clients on excel I need to go to today, I want to be able to import that into Waze, and then Waze will "optimize" the…

  15. Allow users/editors to upload a picture for a poi from device/WME rather than take a photo on the place from car. 

    My suggestion is the following feature: Allow users and editors to upload photos from their phone’s gallery (taken before or after visiting a place) rather than only allowing “instant” photos taken from car from a really bad angle.
My suggestion solves this problem: Many current POI photos are low-quality or taken from bad angles because they are often snapped quickly while in transit. Allowing gallery uploads would result in better, more helpful photos that accurately describe a location’s surroundings.
In more words: Finding specific points, like a package delivery locker (automat), can be difficult without clear visual clues. I suggest

  17. Light to Dark mode transitions

    Introduce a fading transition between light and dark modes at sunrise and sunset. Replacing the instant switch with a slow transition prevents visual shock and makes the navigation experience much smoother for nighttime drivers. To make the transition more realistic, I suggest adding a warm yellow/amber tint that gradually overlays the map as it shifts into the darker blue/navy of Night Mode. This mimics the natural 'Atmospheric Scattering' seen at sunset, making the visual change feel organic rather than digital.

  18. To have a certain classification of road/highway to have a connection with at or higher highway classification

    Some roads on Waze have highway classifications that do not continue. For example, a road close to me has a minor highway classification; when it reaches a round-about, it loses that classification, but in all directions, that classification does not have a connection. These roads should have its particular classification end at another road with the same or higher classification.

  19. Editors who have several edits for review and are accepted or rejected to view which one of their edits was either accepted or rejected.

    I have several edits subject for review. Some of them have been reviewed, but it won't tell me which edit was reviewed. We should have an option to view which of those edits was reviewed and the option to chat with the person who reviewed it for questions about their decision.

  20. WME - Requests window blocking city/country - shift it couple pixels down?

    Hello,

    Check out screenshot:
    https://i.imgur.com/zrA1Hly.png

    Each time you are dealing with user reports or any kind of reports it's blocking city name.
    When you close to report, you need to search for it again and again on the main list.

    Would be good that we can see city name while working on reports.
