  1. Center the elevation in the box

    When editing the elevation, currently the number in the elevation box is left justified. This puts it right next to the negative (-) sign making it look like it is a negative elevation.

    I recommend center justifying the number to make it more obvious what the actual number is.

  3. Allow for combined speed/red light cameras on map edits

  5. Message "Do not response by mail" when editor commented an update request

    When an editor commented in an update request there are hinds in the mail from waze the user should answer per app or at the WME. In my opinion it's urgent to make clear the response per mail is not working. There should be a hint: "Do not reply by mail, it will not be delivered!"

  6. School zones variable speed limit

    Most of our speed zones in province of Quebec are variable in time of day, day of week and month of year. Do you think you could add this feature so it represents the actual speed limit in real time.
    In a regular 50km/h residential zone, the school zone is normally active from 7 to 17, monday to friday, september to july.

  7. Add surveillance camera as an option under the "enforcement cameras" category

    Add surveillance camera as an option under the "enforcement cameras" category. Currently there is only red light, speed, or fake. There are times where a camera is tagged as red light in my community but, in fact, it is only surveillance.

  9. Allow Manually Inputting an address in Waze on Android Auto (There is No Search Box)

    Why can't I manually input an address in Waze on Android Auto? It doesn't matter if I am stopped, parked, or driving. The search box doesn't show up anytime when I am using the app!!!

  10. Change the wording in the automatic email when an editor comments on a UR

    When a user reports a map problem in the app, then an editor responds to it in the Waze Map Editor, the reporter gets an automatic email that says:

    "An editor from the Waze mapping community wants to solve the problem, but needs some more information.", followed by the editor's comment.

    The problem with this wording: This is not always true. If we can identify the cause of the report without needing clarification, then often we may simply use the comment box to thank the reporter for their report. Thus, the comment box isn't always used to ask for more…

  12. Phone number extensions

    Enable editors to add extensions to phone numbers by adding a semicolon after the completed phone number. This way, mobile phones will automatically dial the extension for a user.

  13. 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

  14. Customize report icons

    Customize the display with "favorite" reports. For example when I drive I see many cars on the shoulder it takes 4 touch on my screen to report this. As this is a frequent one I see, I will add this to dashboard screen and when driving just one touch should send this. I would limit to "two icons" in the dashboard :-)

  15. URGENT : Possibility to indicate a closed road on Android Auto

    Dear Development team,

    Can you please take this point as priority.

    I'm using daily Waze on Android Auto.

    On Android Auto it is not possible to indicate from the interface when a road is Closed.

    This is a very dangerous situation, when we are driving. As we are totally lost at this moment, Waze is then not able to recalculate, as it will recalculate a way to take the closed road.
    So while driving, as most of the time it is difficult to stop somewhere), we need to unplug the phone, launch waze, indicate the trip as it can have…

  20. ability to write/entered info while reviewing images in UR

    Hi
    It is difficult when accepting user requests (if they contain a picture) and a name is not entered, for example.. to transfer the name from the shop board and to write at the same time.. because the way pictures are displayed in the map editor prevents you from writing if you only display any A picture, why can't we write in the side panel of the information and at the same time look at the pictures "the store's billboard" and transfer any information from it so that everything is added accurately?
