  2. Translate country names to appear correctly when using the app in languages other than English

    Currently when viewing a place's address (street name, city, country), the country's name always appear in English no matter what the language setting you have. This should be corrected so that the country name appear on the correct language depending on what language is set for Waze.

  3. Allow language change for international travelers

    Hi! In our office we are big fans of WAZE and find, at least in Los Angeles, that it's superior to Google Maps and other GPS apps. Our issue? We have many frequent international travelers and in particular, when in Israel the app defaults to Hebrew and can't be changed to English. I think it would be advantageous to all if that could be made more flexible.

  5. Add "apartment" as a category for a Place Point... Lodging doesn't cut it.

    Why don't you guys add "apartment" to the category list for WME? Lodging is NOT even close...

  6. Show users app language setting in WME with UR's

    When I see a new UR in WME, I have no idea in what language I need to address the person who made it. It could be dutch/french/english.

    It would be easy if this setting would appear somewhere in the UR

  7. Two arrival points for places created as Area

    Currently when creating a place area as there is only one arrival point to be adjusted.

    Tip: In certain types of places, especially Mall, there should be the option of adding another point of arrival because usually the Mall have more than one entry and Waze could trace the route to the nearest point of arrival at that location.

    Another problem is users who create places like area and do not set the finishing point, often cause routing problems for the nearest street may be another, then my suggestion is that when created places like area WME let alone save…

  8. Holiday based turn/traffic restrictions

    Many streets, due to noise restrictions, or public leisure policies (weekend bike paths, leisure streets, etc), have their traffic/turns restricted not only on sundays, but also during holidays.

    I suggest that the restrictions screen on WME have added the "Holiday" flag. This flag would be checked against countryID, stateID and/or cityID (for national, state and city holidays) in a worksheet updated by champs, so that on these days the restrictions would take place.

  9. Update the "Map editors" colour scheme to the new colours of the Waze Map Editor.

    The roads colours on the Waze Map Editor have changed. So the colour scheme named "Maps editors" should be updated accordingly.

  10. Put 2 fields in editor. 1 for TTS and the other for display.

    This will make the display correct. While also letting the TTS read the words right. There was a time when the editors had to cheat the display so that the TTS would read right. It was hard to comprehend the display.

  13. Create "Editor Comments" for info and notes in WME

    Create a way of commenting on the Editor so that the comment is visible to other editors. A way of communicating and sharing what needs to be done. It would look like a balloon, just like Map Problems and Update Requests, but it would be created by an Editor that's got something to say to other editors. Comments are also enabled.

    For example:
    Editor1: "I think this Street should be changed to Primary. What do you think?"
    Editor2: "I drive through it everyday and I agree."

    -

    Editor1: "Any editors living here can confirm if this street's name is correct?"…

  14. Add the option of vehicle in the app, and add option which vehicle is allowed in the street in the map

    When we use waze app. There is an option which vehicle (bus,truck,motorcycle,car,bicycle) we use.

    when we choose "car" , the street that not allowed for car will be red, and the navigation, avoid forbidden street

    In the map editor, when we click the street, there are some option, which vehicle allowed in the street (option with thick)
    truck/bus ---- yes/no
    car ---- yes/no
    motorcycle ---- yes/no
    etc

  15. I would like to change default settings in map editor - new nodes

    I would like to change default settings in map editor - checking all nodes after drawing few roads takes a lot of time (shift+z, then "Q" and "W", then "ctrl+s" etc.). It would be easier if all new nodes were with "green arrows" (crossroads without any restriction - you can turn anywhere). A lot of new users forget about nodes and that's why routing doesn't work or gives strange results.

  16. Enable Australian States and Territories to be selected in Waze Map Editor

    Similar to how the USA can pick states in the editor, would be great to have the option available for Australia too. Random city names are currently showing up all over the country because there are cities with the same name with multiple locations in Australia. Enabling this option would make this go away.

  17. Gravel Road Checkbox in Map Editor

    An option similar to the Toll Road checkbox that would allow a street segment that's a Gravel Road to be checked off as such and would allow for more precise client preferences to avoid both dirt and gravel or just dirt roads. Many roads gravel roads are well maintained and perfectly suitable for travel, but shouldn't be marked as a Dirt Road/4x4 Trail.
