  1. "Show on map" in UR should zoom in to UR itself, not to its route

    It happens rather often: when I open a UR and click "Show on map", WME zooms in, but the UR isn't visible. I need to zoom out 1-2 levels in order to see the UR and then zoom in to it manually.

    I guess, the algorithm of WME calculates the "Show on map" point basing on the user's route. But the user saw the problem in the point of the report, so WME should zoom in to it.

  2. Emergency Closures and Events/accident reporting

    Allow users to add more than one section of road to a road closure.

    It would be good if emergency closures would show up in the app to influence driving directions, and if we could report closures longer than one section of road.

    I was driving somewhere on the weekend, and there'd been a fatal accident on the Highway at 2 am, but Waze still told me to drive using that section of the highway.

    When I looked the accident had been reported on the app hours before I left, and there were comments on the accident about what sections…

  3. Display far lanes information when viewing previous build

    When viewing previous build (formerly snapshot mode) it's not possible to see what the far lanes information was. Please add this to the data available when viewing the previous build.

  5. Disable segment geometry changes in House Number mode

    When in the "Edit House Numbers" mode, the Editor allows changes to segment geometry, but then generates an error when saving the changes. It is very easy to unknowingly edit segment geometry when trying to move a house number stop point. When this occurs, any HNs edited after that geometry change need reverted.

    Please disable segment geometry changes when in HN mode.

  7. Traffic data layers in WME for advanced editors

    It would be useful for editors investigating routing issues and making mapping decisions to have a configurable traffic data layer in WME that could show a variety of information collected from drivers. This would include statistics such as the average number of Wazers driving on the segment per day, speed percentiles for drivers on the segment, the "freeflow" speed that Waze is using in routing, and the amount of times that the routing server has used the segment. It would also be useful for editors to be able to see locations where the app consistently has trouble snapping drivers to…

  8. More informative options for the GPS layer colours (colour by speed or age)

    Currently, the arrows on the GPS layer are coloured by direction. It would be useful for editors to be able to choose between that and at least two other options: colour by speed, to help editors understand historical traffic patterns and troubleshoot routing decisions; and colour by age, to help editors spot roads that may have been recently realigned or closed.

    Enable the selection of a larger car type such as campervan caravan / large MPV which could not navigate smaller roads.

  10. Have Waze announce which side of the street your destination will be on when you've turned on to the street.

    Have Waze announce which side of the street your destination will be on when you've turned on to the street. For example: your destination is X feet ahead on right/left. Or you've arrived at your destination (read address would be great also) on right/left.

    Thank you for reaching out. We don't have enough details to thoroughly investigate this idea so we will close it now. If this idea is still relevant, please submit it again and include all relevant details.

  12. Save filters

    The new issue tracker is great, but I think it could be even better if we had the ability to save our own filters, so that I could create and save filters like: "no description", "unreplied", "rerported by me", etc.

    For example, currently, if I want to filter unreplied URs I have to set: status = "open", types = "all types", description = "both", comments = "no comments", and uncheck "has comments".

    It's really hard to always set all these options, and if I could save the filters, I would only have to do it once. Next time I could…

  14. When using the ruler tool in WME, please make nearby geometry handles visible.

    Currently, it is only possible to see the geometry handles when an object is selected for editing and the mouse cursor is very close. Most of the time the ruler tool is used, it is to measure the distance between nodes and/or geometry handles. It would be immensely helpful to be able to see them while using the ruler tool.

  16. Customize "Services" checkboxes by Category

    Most Places have a set of checkboxes under Additional Information that are relevant for restaurants, but are just silly for almost any other Category. It should be possible to provide relevant services that are different based on the Category of the Place. This will enhance the information saved for most non-restaurant Places and make WME (and Waze) more relevant.

  17. Provide helpful suggestions when showing a save error

    When you display a save error in WME, please give us helpful suggestions on how to resolve the issue, not just a generic "check and try again." Check what? What are we looking for? How do we fix it? What is "modifying GuidanceMode? What are CS Lanes? Saying "Check and try again" doesn't help.

    Example:
    Modifying GuidanceMode is allowed only for CS Lanes
    Suggestion: Check and try again

  19. Posibility to add type of plug and charge speed for EVCS from the app.

    Costa Rica is not on the list of countries where Waze has implemented the features for EVCS.
    Here are more than 1000 charging stations between L1, L2 and L3 and we have added almost all of them in Waze manually.
    We have to introduce all the characteristics of each charging point in the app from the WME.
    It would be great if it can be done from the app. Like adding plug type or charging speed. From the application it is not yet possible.

  20. Speed limit for default type of roads

    Hi Everyone, Im editing in Vietnam area. I want to put default speed limit for roads. For example, in settings, I put 50kmh to Street or 90kmh to Major Highway, 120kmh to Freeway. Then, I add new roads, it automatically put speed limit according to value that I set before. It saves lot of time to edit. Tks in advance!
