  1. Segment history - moved house numbers

    When looking at segment history, you can see details of house numbers that have been added or removed. When the position of the house number is changed, the history says "House Number: Missing Data". It would be better to list the house number and that it was moved.

  2. Option to Avoid Specific Places or Intersections

    It would be very helpful to have the ability to mark specific places, roads, or intersections that users want to avoid — like setting a "do not route through here" point. Waze could then calculate routes that steer clear of those areas.

    The current issue is that Waze often reroutes dynamically while driving. Even if I start on a preferred route, I sometimes follow Waze's updated instructions and end up passing through places I was specifically trying to avoid. This can be frustrating — especially in countries where some intersections or roads are known to be dangerous, either due to…

  3. Wildlife Warnings

    Living in Australia especially, there are many areas that are at high risk of wildlife on the roads. Whether this is Kangaroos, Wombats, Deer or Emu there are many animals that can be very dangerous for divers. I suggest that there are warnings that can be added that show up on the map for areas with lots of native animals that cross the road.

  4. Feed - Unique "Area" setting per feed type or "distance" sorting.

    I most often use the Solve Feeds to work User Reported issues across my managed area. While looking a those, I am inclined to work nearby surfaced MS and PUR. However those feeds greatly exceed the limit of items exposed.. As a result, the items in the feed are only the 500 most recent items, regardless of their proximity to where I am currently viewing. I'm not inclined to switch feeds and click though the 10 pages of items to get to the "Load more", and repeat that 5-10 times for the PUR feed, and then more than 50 times…

  5. Filter GPS tracks by vehicle type: private, taxi, motorcycle

    The GPS layer should have checkmarks where we could choose the vehicle type of the GPS tracks we want to see.
    This would be great for determining what type of vehicle is using a particular road, which in turn would be useful for deciding what road restrictions a road should have.

  10. I want to put a warning icon like in partnership

    I would like to see the Waze Partnership-specific warning icons, which can currently only be installed on-site, made easier to install. For example, it would be useful to have a system where you can pull over and set it on the navigation screen, or a function where you can set it using the Waze Editor in your browser.

  12. Additional Imagery requests feedback

    With the great feature of Additional Imagery, we can make requests for updates using "The Button".

    If the imagery update meets our needs, we should be able to confirm that it did (like a thumbs up for alerts in the app).

    If we get an alert that imagery has been updated, but the imagery is not sufficient (not new enough, clouded over, etc), we have to submit a new request. Instead of submitting a new request, there should be an option to reopen the original request to get newer/clearer imagery.

    As is, there is no easy way to provide feedback…

  13. Please allow font size change. Letters are too small now.

    I think font is too small, and requires taking eyes off road to focus on letters - a safety issue. You can with Google Maps by changing phone settings, but this doesn't work with Waze. I prefer using Waze over G Maps. Please consider adding this option.

  14. Replying and closing UR should give editors an edit point

    Currently, when you close a User Report (UR), the count of resolved URs increases on the editor profile. However, there is no reward of an edit point.

    Editors spend vast amounts of time looking for, investigating, replying and managing the lifecycle of a UR. I propose that both replies to a UR and closing a UR should each give a single edit point.

    Given that Waze tracks the number of URs resolved, adding points retrospectively would also be appreciated. Though I understand UR replies couldn't be added retrospectively.

    The awarding of these edit points should still be subject to throttling…

  16. Improve House Numbers Editing Interface Clarity

    Since the version 2.272, the HN interface has become visually overloaded mainly on cross roads. In the previous version, entering house numbers mode would visually isolate the numbers belonging only to the selected street. This behavior was much more intuitive and provided a cleaner, distraction-free environment for editing.

    We suggest restoring this functionality - either by default or as an optional toggle - so that only the house numbers from the selected street are shown during editing. This change would significantly improve clarity, reduce errors, and enhance the overall editing experience.

    Thank you for your consideration.

  17. 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.

    "Take me back the same way I came!" Garmin has such an option and it is very useful, especially when the driver gets lost. It can be turned on and off at will.

  20. WME Feed customise by country

    WME Default loading is launching with feed showing KoiFish suggestions that are locked for almost all editors.

    Most L1-2 editors cannot add these and cannot hide them either. As a display, it is very confusing for them.

    Without taking away any choices in Feed selection, it would be nice if the WME Default Feed could either be selected by country as defined by coordinators or at least remove KoiFish suggestion as default load for all editors.
