Ability to select metric for distance tool and imperial for speed limits
This request is specific to the editor environment.
As I am in the UK, I must have speed limits in mph, so have no choice but to select Imperial in my settings.
However, this then causes the distance tool "Ruler" to measure in feet, however I want to measure in metres as that is what all the legal documents (Traffic Regulation Orders) show the new highway changes in.
At the moment, I am having to resort to google to translate the metres to feet value in order to use the Ruler, and would prefer it if Waze would show the…

Enhanced Dynamic Segment Creation and Editing
Dynamic Curve Adjustment:
I propose introducing a dynamic segment creation tool in the Waze Map Editor. This tool would allow users to create a segment by selecting the start point and the endpoint, and then dynamically adjusting the curve by dragging the segment with the mouse. Additionally, the properties menu would enable further adjustments, including angle degrees, after the segment has been created.
Users can click to set the start and end points of a segment.
The segment curve can be adjusted in real-time by dragging with the mouse, providing a more intuitive and precise way to shape roads.Copy…

Flagging matches with permanently closed venues
With the "Enhanced Matching" between Waze and Google venues going live, some Waze venues are matched with 'Permanently closed' place from Google Maps.
While these are accurate matches, we won't know these places are permanently closed until an editor interacts with the place or a user reports it to us.
My suggestion is to flag such matches to be reviewed by editors. A PUR or something like that.

Add oblique imagery (birds eye view) from GMaps to WME
To allow editors a more comprehensive view of an area and to provide an additional data layer of imagery, use the already-available oblique imagery from GMaps in WME.
Oblique imagery allows for a 360° view of a location so we would need a new icon to allow for cycling around the 4 'quadrants' of the imagery.

Max/Min Speed Limit
The idea is to display a minimum speed limit also in blue color with a maximum speed limit (already available on the map). Most of the main Highways in the UAE have max & min speed limits. You can get a fine for driving lower than minimum speed also. for eg. E11 (110/60), E311 AbuDhabi side (140/120)

Disable street name popups on the map when using Apple CarPlay?
I have a problem with the map when using Apple CarPlay. The car's display shows constantly changing large, annoying blocks (popups) with street names. Those blocks often fall over critical parts of the map I'm just driving to. That's why I can't see where I need to go on the map. For example, an upcoming intersection will be completely covered. I use the map with the setting to always keep north at the top (just in case that makes a difference).
My proposal is to create an option in the settings to enable and disable these blocks. This makes the…3 votes -
Make route color in Apple CarPlay adjustable
I have a problem with the contrast of the map when using Apple CarPlay. On my iPhone the contrast is excellent and the route I have to follow is easy to distinguish from the rest on the map.
On the display in the car, the contrast between the route to be followed and the other map elements appears to be very poor. This means you have to pay close attention to which line on the map is your route. As a result, attention is diverted too much from the road.
My proposal is to make the colors of the route…5 votes -
Editing of primers for maps
I see in the application only two map views "default" and "map editors". I think it is interesting if you can choose the colors yourself, for example. Highway - blue, national road - red, etc.

Roads with permits for residents only
Very often there are streets that can only be used by residents.
It would be useful to be able to set the segments on the WME "residents only".
This way only those who add their home address on those streets in to the app will be able to use them.
It is different from editing a road as private, because it would only allow access to residents, whereas now if you search for a destination on a private road everyone can access it.40 votesThanks for your feedback.

Correction- Brazil
In Brazil, using English directions, many highways are designated as "SP-###", which stands for "SãoPaulo". The audio direction is calling out ALL SP highways as "Sulfur mono Phosphide" which is a chemical formula abbreviation S P. Every time an SP hwy is called out, she literally says "sulfur mono phosphide" each time, rather than São Paulo, or simply SP. Needs correction. Very annoying 😑

issue tracker: add new area filter - "My editable areas"
For new editors, without a managed area the current Area filters don't allow them to see everything they have editing rights to manage. There should be an additional "My editable areas" option that filters aligned to the Editable Areas layer.
77 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on the "My Editable Areas" option. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

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.

Allow photos to be used in reporting chats on WME
It should be allowed to insert photos in chats with users when they report a problem, this will make it easier for us to solve the type of problem that exists on the map. It could be a low resolution image only to better identify the problem

Show HN stop points for all levels
When viewing a road that is locked to a higher level, it is not possible to view the HN stop points. This makes it impossible to troubleshoot the issue without requesting an unlock that might not be required if nothing needs to be edited. Being able to view the stop point even when I can't edit would let me know if the HN needs to be changed before I request an unlock.

Place allowed for pets
For families who take their pets to other places, it is interesting to know whether or not the place accepts pets.

Make it easy to erase all the trips without having to do it individually.
I do deliveries for Walmart, and at the end of day, I have more than 20 trips, and that adds up pretty quickly, My saved address are always at the bottom of the list, and it would just be easier if I could erase all those trips at the end of the day, without having to do it individually.

Notation des destinations
Bonjour,
Une fonctionnalité intéressante serait les notes sous formes d'étoiles par exemple car très visuel. C'est une idée très similaire a Google Map mais qui serait toujours un plus pour nous la communautée de Waze
