  2. Complex intersection in WME / Intersección Compleja en WME

    I suggest that the "Permanent Hazard > Complex Intersection" option should be restricted to connection nodes only, preventing its placement on segments. This will ensure accurate and consistent usage of the feature.

    Sugiero que la opción "Peligro permanente > Intersección compleja" se limite únicamente a los nodos de conexión, evitando su ubicación en segmentos. Esto garantizará un uso preciso y consistente de la función.

  3. Learn and adapt to sequential traffic light switching

    In Germany, switching traffic lights in sequence is a common thing ("Grüne Welle" - green wave). At some intersections, it would be great if the sequencing pattern is recognized by an algorithm to guide wazers based on their position in the traffic light sequencing, i.e. that on a long straight, the signal to turn left is only active in the first 30sec after turning green.

  4. Suburb borders that add suburbs to segments automatically

    Right now, every time we make a new segment on the map, we have to assign it to a suburb manually. Not only is this tedious, but it's prone to mistakes by editors, especially when editing near a suburb border.

    But, in many countries, suburbs have a fixed area, and all roads inside that suburb's area will be part of that suburb.

    If map editors were able to simply define the borders of each suburb in a state or country, then Waze could automatically assign any segment to the correct suburb, just by checking which suburb's area the segment falls…

  5. Expand external visual cue on mouseover

    Several years ago the WME interface was changed and it reduced how much information was visible when adding an external provider. You could no longer see the difference between two entries because the text simply isn't visible and longer place names make it worse. Editors would have to select a provider to see the address and determine if it was correct. If it was not, they would have to search again and select another entry. Repeat the process until you find the correct entry. If there is no entry, you have tried five different times to find out. For some…

  6. Copy button for segment/place address

    Very often you have to search info for address while editing maps and it could be made a lot easier by adding a copy button to copy address on properties panel. Or maybe 2 buttons, 1st for just the street name, 2nd for whole address.

  7. 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?

  8. Tijdens trajectcontroles gemiddelde snelheid tonen en ook op carplay aantonen hoelang deze nog is

    Tijdens een trajectcontrole je gemiddelde snelheid over die afstand weten is extreem handig zodat je jou kan aanpassen. En op carplay aantonen hoelang de traject controle duurt

  9. Signposts and crossings

    The possibility of adding signage points and pedestrian and cycle crossings, as on open street map.
    Signage is often unclear, especially horizontal signs during road resurfacing work. It would be helpful if the navigator warned of pedestrian crossings and signals such as giving way and stop signs.

  11. Add km and miles distance to the navigation screen

    Please, update the app to show the distance with both km and miles at the same time.
    On the bottom of the navigation screen (after setting the destination) there is plenty of space, I grew up on a country that uses km, now I live in the US that uses miles, but it will take a long time to get used to it, therefore showing both simultaneously (e.g 10 mi / 16 km) would be perfect!

  13. Add DPMs with the Paths feature

    Instead of hassling around with segment types and names to get a DPM (Detour Prevention Mechanism) working, a more straightforward approach would be to create a Path, cycle through the possible routes and mark it as DPM. This would be great for intricate structures of parallel routes where you would want to define which routes are greatly preferred.

  14. Emergency services

    An exciting enhancement for the Waze Map Editor could be the addition of markers for emergency service stations and permanent buildings, categorized into two types:

    Interactive markers (a single tap on any icon adds it to your route):

    - Hospitals: Represented by a red and white "H".

    - Police stations: Displayed as a house outline with a badge inside.

    - Fire stations: Depicted as a house outline with a fire axe or fire truck inside.

    Passive icons:

    - Schools: Highlighted with a zone area around them. When a route passes through, it triggers an alert similar to "Road hazard ahead".

    Many animals around the world are abandoned, wandering through urban centers and facing the constant danger of being hit by vehicles. Thousands lose their lives to traffic accidents each year. Let us unite to save these precious lives

  17. Ensure that permanent hazards and cameras are selected before they can be relocated

    https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1041305897932169216/1322228679090372649/20241227-1542-59.5872623.mp4?ex=67701cea&is=676ecb6a&hm=129ac41d01aefec63e845702458f45ff2ca13677f13e396d1bd500af645c6f6c&

    As shown in the above video, it's far too easy for a PH or camera to be moved accidentally when panning around the map. Hit a PH while panning, and it can be moved half way across the screen.

    Please make it so they have to be selected before they're above to be relocated, just like other map elements.

  18. On WME could there be a way to show UR that we already replied to as a notification in the notifications area on WME.

    So i would suggest receiving notification from existing UR from the WME notification tabs (top right) that we have already replied to once the reporter has acknowledged us editors' response to their report that would link us directly to that report, the current method so far is via email when waze actually notify us or in the app also the app notification only shows when the app is open.

    This would eliminate us having to go into our email every minute as to locate that specific UR as there are usually over 10, 20 UR in one spot that number…

  20. по-големи улици

    Предложението ми е, да се направи по-зуумната картата, така, че иконата на автомобила да се показва точно в платното за движение. А не както в момента да се носи над пътя! Това б било доста поориентиращо какато и по-красиво изглеждащо/
