  1. Android \ help and feedback \ Report map issue \ Keyboard blocks the description box

    On the android app, under Help and Feedback, Report map issue... the text box for "Describe the issue" is blocked by the on-screen keyboard, so users cannot see what they are typing. The only way to see is to minimize the keyboard, but the minimize button becomes the "go back" button, so it is easy to accidentally go back, which wipes everything the user just entered in.

    I suggest the program developers added some blank space on the bottom of the page. This would allow the user to scroll down so that the "Describe the issue" text box does not…

  2. Set up a schedule

    It would be good to be able to set a schedule, for example; weekdays leaving between 08:00 - 08:30 set destination as Work, leaving between 17:00 and 17:30 set destination as Home. I always set destination for regular routes as Wase tells me of accidents, traffic (and speed cameras 😇) It would be good it it had a timeout too, so if the schedule hadn't been used for say 60 minutes it automatically cancels.

  3. Allow easier editing of new addresses with homes facing the "wrong way"

    Our development is a cul-de-sac with addresses that won't save in the map editor because the homes are all side-facing. This makes it difficult to share the address with guests if they aren't able to navigate there. Please allow all editors the ability to add their homes to the map.Thanks!

  4. It would be helpful to know if a cross street has a traffic light when gauging how to look for your cross street to turn

    It would be helpful to have an indicator for traffic light at an intersection when looking ahead to gauge when to turn

  5. Enforcement Trailer

    In my review I will only refer to the warning functions. The functionality is perfect for fixed speed cameras! However, mobile speed cameras (from the caddy or mobile) are almost never displayed in smaller cities because too few users report the speed camera and confirm it in the required time windows. A pity. The system could be improved here so that the speed camera is displayed immediately when it is first reported and remains there until a user reports that it has been removed.
    The app needs even more improvement when it comes to the enforcement trailers. Our city has…

  7. Ability to update or suggest speed limit change in areas where it is posted and different than the map shows

    There are places, within my area in Kansas, where the speed limit shown on the map does not match what is posted. Similar to being able to mark where police officers are, hazards in the road or even updating gas prices- there should be an option to click on the speedometer in the area and update it to match, OR submit this information in that spot when it’s found.

  8. Allow for issue tracker to show results in descending order

    Currently the default view of issue tracker results is ascending (newest to oldest.) It would be nice to allow the results to show in reverse (oldest to newest.) Sometimes I want to address the oldest issues first so that there are not so many backlogged.

  10. Login: username error x design flaws

    A novice user approached me saying they tried to log into WME, but their password wasn't working.
    They said they reset the password several times, but nothing worked...

    They sent me a screenshot. See if you guys can figure out the problem.

    https://i.imgur.com/JwfFoRz.jpeg

    Reasons to blame the user:

    1) As soon as the user accesses the page, the phrase "Enter your username and password" appears.

    2) As soon as the user accesses the page, the placeholder "Username" appears in the text entry field.

    However, the user entered their email in place of the username. It's the user's fault!

    Reasons to…

  11. Inserire una sezione dedicata direttamente nell’app di Waze in cui vengono inseriti tutti i dati dei viaggi precedenti velocità,traffico,ec.

    La mia idea è quella di poter inserire una sezione facile e intuitiva direttamente nell’applicazione Waze per poter vedere tutti i dati inerenti ai viaggi precendenti, potendo vedere la velocità, possibili infrazioni, dati sul traffico e gli spostamenti dovrebbero essere visibili direttamente sulla mappa, sarebbe ancora meglio poter andare ad individuare tutti questi dati direttamente in un punto specifico del percorso, infine sarebbe opportuno inserire il resoconto completo di ogni singolo viaggio, spero di avervi dato un consiglio utile,

  12. Display router-enabled U-turns as always green

    WME displays some U-turn restrictions as red when routing will treat them as green. This is VERY confusing.

    Specifically, we are told that when a driver following a Street roadway type reaches a junction node to a Parking Lot Road, the Waze router is allowed to offer a U-turn at that junction node -- REGARDLESS of the U-turn setting displayed by WME (we are also told this is true of Street/Private Road junction nodes as well -- and perhaps others?).

    WME should not show editors red turn restrictions when in fact drivers will experience green turn restrictions. This can lead…

  13. 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.

  15. Allowing business pages to edit their locations

    We recently opened a new community health center and a lot of our clients utilize Waze to navigate the city. It would be extremely helpful for business owners and clients to be able to locate the correct address. It is almost physically impossible to edit the map and there are no instructions or guides for assistance. This error needs to be addressed immediately.

  17. I would like to see a navigation function with detailed diagrams. (Since I am using a translation function, the text may be unnatural.)

    nice to meet you. I am editing waze maps in Japan. I don't speak English so I use translation software. Therefore, there may be some parts of the text that are incorrect, so please forgive me.

    Japanese car navigation systems have a function that displays a diagram that reproduces the shape of the intersection and which road to turn to when passing through an intersection or junction. However, that feature only supports some intersections.
    It looks like the diagram on the right side of the screen in this image: https://panasonic.jp/car/navi/products/HA02_HE02/img/top/pic_01.png
    Therefore, I would like to request that waze introduce such…

  19. Advance warning for speed limit changes

    I drive a tracked vehicle, I need to be at the new speed limit before passing the signs. ie, 60mph dropping to 40mph, if the signs are hidden round the corner, I need to brake harder to slow down in time.

    Would it be possible to have either a visible marker on the moving map to display the different speed limit up ahead, or a warning pop up maybe 200yds in advance?

  20. New Permanent hazard: Check-point

    In many countries, fixed check-points are installed on the road. It could be done by Police, Customs, Tax services, Weight check... and even borders.

    It would be great to have those marqued on the map as permanent Hazard " Check point". It has basically the same effect of a toll booth: You often need to stop there, or a least drive through at a very reduced speed.

    This would be a great safety enhancement for both drivers and those manning those check points.
