  1. GPS in Calgary, Alberta

    I volunteer myself to Assist in GPS in Calgary, Alberta. The GPS directions are wack. It doesn't go the shortest distance and it doesn't know areas available to make turns. A lot of the speed limit signs are wrong. If you put an Officer on the other side, it doesn't put it in the other direction, it puts it on the left side of the highway you are on in the same direction.
    Waze should be advertised here more to get more people using it.

  3. Corte de calle Yucatan, La Florida

    Estimados, junto con saludarles, vivo en calle Yucatan, de la comuna de la Florida, Chile. Les escribo por que esta calle (Yucatan) esta cortada justo en la interseccion con la calle Palermo, por ende Yucatan es una calle sin salida; el problema es que ustedes tienen ambas calles conectadas con libre circulación, factor que no es real; esto resulta en que gran cantidad de autos al día llegan acá y se deben devolver, generando caos residencial.

  5. Fix communication issues on website.

    It’s impossible to figure out how to communicate with you about a mistake. Your map sends people to someone’s home instead of my business! There appears to be no way for me to simply figure out how to let you know about this. Right now I’m just telling all my new customers to not use Waze to find my office. It’s actually not safe to send someone to a residence!

  6. Avoid hills with stop lights

    For manual cars we have lots of people getting very close to us on steep hills and I have to dump my clutch just so I don’t roll back and I can’t keep doing that on hills with stop lights. I think it would be great for a option to avoid hills with stop lights or stop signs so manual cars don’t get stuck on hills. I think it would be a great feature for a lot of people

  7. 2D Hazards

    I'm not sure if this sort of thing will be covered in Permanent Hazards development, but it would be very handy to be able to define an area polygon to which a hazard report would apply.
    To me, the obvious application would be for prolonged construction zones where roads remain open but users ought to be made aware of an issue ahead.
    How I see this working:
    An editor would draw a polygon over the affected area and then choose a hazard type and add an optional comment to the polygon. It should be possible to define schedules and an…

  12. Tag URs with "Not Following"

    I tried finding a post that described this problem but I could not find it, in case there is one, it can be merged to that thread.

    tl;dr Add a tag to URs when the user is not registered or not following a UR.

    Not long ago ronsek57 told me that users, who just opened the app and never registered, are able to send URs but they never receive any of our messages asking for more information. I tested that on three URs (IDs 11946180, 11946458, 11946459), I am not adding permalinks because they already disappeared from WME.

    I sent…

  13. Implement reCAPTCHA v3

    With the recent release of version 3 of reCAPTCHA (the thing you may get to see when you log in and the system suspects you may be a bot instead of a user), it would be a great idea to upgrade to the latest version. We've had several users who have had to fill in the CAPTCHA protection every time for some weird reason (I suspect someone in their neighbourhood is to blame), which could be alleviated with the new system. The system now gives you a score between 0 and 1 to gauge how trustworthy the request is. That…

  14. Better history for place update

    Hey,

    in place edit history, it would be nice to have more details on PUR : the only status is accepted or rejected.
    Maybe it is not easy to tell what photo was refused or a refused change name, but it would be nice to know what was the updated fields (was it about adding or removing a photo, rename the venue).

  15. New Place Address

    I'm not sure if it's a minor-bug or intended, but I ask you to take a look:

    Issue regarding Map Editor Beta and Production.

    :arrow: When you find a new place waiting for approval, if you click on the red arrow everything runs smooth, but if you feel the need to click on the yellow arrow to check what's that place is about before approving it (sometimes you can't tell just by the name title), notice it isn't possible to change the address... well maybe it's ok at this point before approving it.

  18. Junction Box Modal dialog does not appear in practice mode

    In practice mode, the modal dialog used to choose the routes through the Junction Box does not appear.

    It does appear when logged in.

    This is inconsistent. All the features of Junction Box should be visible in practice mode so editors can learn about junction box without risk of accidentally making changes.

  19. Allow users to keep hands on the keyboard until done typing

    As a general principal of design, please allow the user to keep both hands on the keyboard until done typing information

    Examples of desired behavior:
    Places - After entering address, use the return/ enter key to activate the "apply" button. Or else automatically apply address changes when tab is used to advance to another field. (Currently, we have to move hand to mouse, click apply, find correct place on keyboard, and then use tab to advance to name field and resume typing)

    Closures - After entering description, use the tab key to advance to "direction" (Currently, this does not work).…

  20. Enable Undo after Save

    It happened to me a couple of times. I deleted and element, clicked Save, and then understood it wasn't the element I meant to delete.

    It would be great to enable undo changes that have been just saved.
