  1. Possibility for editors to create map update requests, for changes that need higher level editors.

    Many times I can see needed changes or map problems that are prohibited for my level to edit or fix. But there is no option to report these issues to the higher levels, inside the map editor.
    Should I have to drive there and create a map issue report?

  2. link to contacts

    When searching for an address to you are going to, have it search the contacts on the phone. IE I want to go to John's house, I would type or say go to johns house. And it can search my contacts for his address.

  3. Issue Tracker: within the Areas I Manage list, add an "All my areas" option

    An All my areas option will give me a high-level view of all the areas I manage without selecting each area.

  4. Ability to delete your previous comments inside a map comment

    Map Comments allow for conversation, with comments by users. Can we have the ability to delete our own previous comments?

  5. Allow forcing a closure to expire (instead of deleting the closure)

    The WME shows now the status of all recently finished and all active closures. A deleted closure will not be visible anymore.
    For that reason, we prefer to "finish" closures instead of deleting them.
    It would be nice to have an option in the context menu of closures, to make the closure expire, by setting its end moment to now.

  6. Add Digital Wallet/E-Wallet as an option for Services Provided and Parking Lot payment methods

    I think it's high time we add Digital Wallet/E-Wallets as an accepted payment method alongside Credit Cards in Places and also as a Payment Method in Parking Lots. A lot of places now, at least in Malaysia, accepts the use of digital wallet QR codes for payment instead of Credit/Debit cards.

  7. Acceptance of adding a road closure without the need to manually specify the "event"

    I often handle the addition and removal of road closures via phone, but when I enter the dates, I am required to specify the type of event for it to be accepted. I believe it would be better to make the option more seamless, so that if "Add" is clicked, the road closure is added. If there is an event, I will certainly add it, but there’s no need to force me to select the "None" option just to proceed with the addition.

  8. Request for Inclusion of the Republic of Kosovo as a Sovereign State on Waze

    Dear Waze Team,

    I am reaching out to formally request that the Republic of Kosovo be recognized as a sovereign state on Waze, just as other independent countries are represented. As you may be aware, Kosovo declared independence in 2008 and has since been recognized by over 127 UN member states, including Israel.

    The exclusion of Kosovo as a separate state on Waze creates challenges for users, particularly in navigation, geolocation accuracy, and real-time traffic updates. This omission does not reflect the political reality and recognition of Kosovo as an independent country by many international institutions and governments.

    We kindly…

  9. Gas/Diesel

    Any Gas station that a Waze user visits may update the price on the app to reflect the current gas/diesel prices if they want. I would personally do it.

  10. Change sound for "Car on Shoulder" - This one is overused on Highways

    I'm listening to music travelling down the highway only to be interupted by the Ding sound on the alerts Sound for the notification of "Car on Shoulder" hazard. Which since this one is actually just abandoned cars, this one goes off every 5km or so.

    I need a way to be able to record my own sound for "Car on Shoulder" or some way to remove that Ding sound it makes.

    I really only like to hear the important hazards: Police, Object on Road, Traffic Jam, etc.

  11. When reporting traffic jam other drivers should be able to say "Not There" whenever it clears up

    There are sometimes warnings for a traffic jam with slowness or standstill and the traffic has cleared up, however it seems to stay there on the map for ages.

    This needs to be prompted to the users in the same way. Asking "Still there?"

  12. Abandoned Car & Trucks on Shoulder Hazards shortcut

    The "Car on Shoulder" is becoming a standard warning for mostly just abandoned cars, the problem with this is there could be a genuine hazzard where there is a car slightly hanging over or someone changing their tire, three car pile ups, etc.

    The problem of the vagueness of "car on shoulder" is being overused. It should stay, but we might need others like "Abandoned Car" and "Truck on Shoulder" for like a tow truck or a semi-truck with a blown out tire or a larger vehicle on or near the road.

  13. Report a People on the Road or Generic Hazzards Icon

    When there are dangerous situations on roads like an accident or car pile up or someone has had a load loose or changing their tyre, these are way more dangerous than the overly used "Car on Shoulder" hazzard, which people put for abandoned cars. We will also need an Abandoned Car hazzard i rekon.

    But people near the road is an actual hazard i want to know about.

  19. Thanks

    Probleme avec la map, a chaque fois que je signal qqch, je ne vois plus mon kilométrage, le temps quil me reste à faire, ca ne fait que dire merci d'avoir signaler. Jme fiche du merci, jveux avoir mes info! Vraiment désagréable, je dois fermer et reouvrir l'application, et renvoyer mon itinéraire a chaque personne concernée. On s'entend que ce ne devrait pas être, surtout sur la route! Tres désagréable!

    Le remerciement ne devrait pas exister, ou si vous y tenez, inscrivez le ailleurs pour ne pas empêcher de voir les données de navigation

  20. Aceitar a sugestão de novas rotas

    Que seja aceito a edição online do mapa, para percurso definido pelo usuário, e não somente pelo caminho que o app entende por melhor, pois há vias que, mesmo mais longas e com pedágios, são melhores que as usuais!
