  1. Expand character limit for the name of an MTE

    Currently the character limit for the name of an MTE is 25. Common MTE names often come very close or exceed 25 characters, such as "Electric Ave Bridge Replacement" (31 characters). It would be helpful to have the character count increased, possibly by another 10-20 or more.

  2. I want a button to be added to the app to switch between 3D and 2D

  3. Make Issue Tracker keyboard (next/previous) shortcuts more prominent

    Some editors still have difficulty using the Issue Tracker, and some are totally against it, preferring to use the UR-MP script. One reason this may be the case is that it's not completely obvious how to navigate between the issues.

    My suggestion is to make the Keyboard Shortcuts for "Next" and "Previous Issues" more prominent, showing them at the top of the Issue Tracker panel. This may encourage more editors to use the feature.

  4. Editors' 2do List

    Basically having a special context menu or "Editor Report" that will help us remember things to fix once we go into WME. So, this is a communication from production application to WME.

    Sometimes we drive and find an error or something that needs to be fixed. so it would be valuable to have a pin, with text or voice notes that would give me details on what to fix so I can go to this list or this special type of reports once I go to WME.

    The difference with normal UR's or MP's would be that it will not…

  5. Unsaved edits - apply to map without saving

    Related to this announcement:

    https://www.waze.com/discuss/t/introducing-submit-unsaved-edits-never-lose-your-edits-again/358354/25

    if there were an option to simply “apply” the unsaved edits to the map, without saving them (basically treat the unsaved edits as a draft) that would be awesome. Sometimes the browser crashes or something gets in a weird state while doing a complex edit (common use case where this happens a lot is dividing roads for the falcon snapper) and I have to start over.

    I think the times when I have a crash in a place where I'm actually ready to save my changes are much rarer than when I'm in the middle…

  10. A/B Testing of map changes

    Imagine if we could test two versions of a navigation instruction with different driver groups and use real data—like User Reports, detours, speed changes, and quick feedback—to see which one works better. This could make a big difference for things like lane guidance, difficult turns, and complex instructions.

    A/B testing would give us real insights to help make navigation clearer and safer for drivers everywhere. If we could get Waze on board, it could mean big improvements for the whole map-editing community.

  11. WME External providers marked as Permanent closed as a Places Problem

    Many Places in Waze have a External providers marked as Permanent closed, and action needed to either remove it (if the places are permanently closed) or remove the problematic External providers link( if the places are active but the External providers link are marked as permanent closed).
    However, we as an editor are no ways to know if the External providers link are still active nor it is marked as permanent closed.
    So. can we have WME to detect those External providers link and trigger a places problems (something like map problems) for editors to check and fix the problematic…

  13. Automatically add street when adding a point location

    As a waze level 2 editor, when adding a residential place, I'd like for the street to be automatically pre-filled with the closest segment in the map.

    I have been adding a lot of residential places in my zone and I have to copy the street name and paste in each place I add. This process would be more expedite if street name is filled with the closest segment on the map and would avoid errors of places in streets different than the one they are put into.

  16. Hazard addition to go to suggest an edit

    Let all editors add Permanent Hazards but since it is locked by level they can be moved to "Suggest an edit" so spamming with permanent hazards or fake hazards are not added to the map.

  17. Make U-turn segment length shorter to 10m.

    In India it's very difficult to create U-turns with segment lengths greater than 16m.
    Please make it 10m or between 10m and 16m.

    Thanks.

  20. Registered adress for work-study student

    It could be cool if you can add school next to the home and work registered places on your Waze for student who work and go to school. I know that you can add a place but just a cool small shortcut to do that
