1. Autodetect road types

   Road classification seems to be a large source of disagreement and unecessary effort between map editors, part because we know it is used for routing.

   The classification should be autodetected based on average speeds and not editable by users, like average speed.

   Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

   
   

2. Route consistency and enhancements on editor route list

   When opening the list of previous routes on the map editor, I'd suggest the following:

   • keep routes available up to a certain limit, ideally one year (like for example foursquare does with the checkins). More than one year may be too much data on the servers, but less than one year would be too short to look at older routes.
   • routes available on the editor should really be available. currently old routes are visible on the list, but then fails to load with a "permission denied". I can't understand if there's a time limit, or if the routes stop working after a mapdate (last mandate was at Aug 5th and the routes stopped working at Aug 7th evening).
   • as editing permissions are available up to 3 month, the routes shall clearly be available at least those 3 month, ideally the suggested year.
   • routes dropping after one-two months are unacceptable because a mapdate itself takes one-two months, so when the map goes in, we can't look at old routes to have an idea if the fixes were correctly done
   • if the routes are not available for whatever reason (a DB schema change that screws the route is acceptable), they shall not be visible on the editor list.
   • it would be nice to be able to delete routes from the list.
   • it would be nice to download the routes from the list, either on the current wfs format, or in other formats (kml for example)

   Great thinking! We’ll share with the team; they’re always interested in new feature ideas.

   
   

4. Address localization

   lease allow localization of address field just as it is done in search results, so it would be possible to have "%{street} %{housenumber}" instead of "%{housenumber} %{street}" for some languages.

5. Recommend change link for Parking Lot Operator Fixes

   The "Add an operator to the list" link under parking lot operator selection makes it sound like you can only add new operator names.

   Once you go to the link you see that the form is actually for more than additions; "Use this form to add, delete or replace parking lot operators that will be shown in the Client."

   Recommend changing "Add an operator to the list" to the following "Operator list change suggestion". If you want a second line "(Add, Delete, Merge, or Spelling Correction)". This is more descriptive of what the form can actually do.

6. Suppress Live Map Overlay

   Recently a change to Live Map introduced an overlay and call to action footer with information on how to download the Waze app when the URL contains a permalink to a location.

   (Image attached)

   While this is great for users that have not yet been introduced to Waze, map editors do not need to see it every time they open Live Map from within WME. Fortunately, if the following query string parameters are appended to the URL, both the overlay and call to action are suppressed:
   While this is great for users that have not yet been introduced to Waze, map editors do not need to see it every time they open Live Map from within WME. Fortunately, if the following query string parameters are appended to the URL, both the overlay and call to action are suppressed:

   CODE: SELECT ALL
   &overlay=false&cta=false

   The difference is:
   Without overlay suppression: https://beta.waze.com/livemap?lon=-73.9 ... 95&zoom=14
   With overlay suppression: https://beta.waze.com/livemap?lon=-73.9 ... &cta=false

   Would you consider adding this to the Live Map link in the lower right hand corner of WME?

   Also as a link to the location of edits in Live Map is also provided in the Editor Profile under Recent Edits (https://www.waze.com/user/editor/Joyriding) it would be appreciated if that URL could be updated as well.

   Alternatively, a compromise could be only displaying the overlay once every X days, but would require a change to Live Map.

   Thank you.

7. Selecting a search result shouldn't reset the zoom level

   When using the WME search box to find a road, it would be really nice if WME could leave the current zoom level well alone rather than always resetting it to level 3.

   Even if it just defaulted back to level 4 that'd be an improvement, but jumping back out to 3 means we then always have to zoom back in at least one step if we want to be able to select a street segment. And even at L4, anyone looking to do some work on point places would then need to zoom in one step more before they show up... So really, not altering the zoom level at all would be the best choice IMO.

8. Improvements in segment selection for road closures

   Sometimes it's necessary to select multiple segments to perform a road closure either for MTE or for a conventional closure. After you have several segments selected, you accidentally select a node and all work is lost (the section disappears). I suggest making a modification that prevents the disappearance of the selection of these segments and notifies the editor that you selected a node and it will not be possible to make the respective closure (before or at the moment of trying to save). Obviously the idea is to give you the opportunity to remove the node from the selection and continue with the work.

9. Restricted areas: L5 users can restrict Rank 6 segments

   With restricted areas, a level 5 (or Level X user depending on what the final level will be when released in production/country setting) could currently add a restriction to a level 6 segment.

   Steps: find a rank 6 segment, draw an area on it => The segment is restricted.

   This may be a WAD (similar to closures for people who have closure permissions), but it's still risky and lowers the protection of the rank system. If the user deletes the area restriction right after the map update, the problem cannot be identified without staff intervention.

11. Allow taking a Place picture from Streetview

    Requirements: the Streetview panel is open and the place layer is on

    Then: allow creating a box on the Streetview panel. When a box is drawn add a bar saying: now select a place to apply this picture.
    Add an X on the box to delete it. Allow the user to resize the box.
    Set a minimum size and a fixed ratio (the one used by the client) for a decent resolution.
    Drawing a new box removes the previous one if present.

    If then the user clicks on a place, ask him:

    "would you like to set this selection as a place picture"?
    Yes/Cancel

    The picture data is taken directly from Google and you'd have the direction of the shot too.
