Residential - show closest semgent where the drive will lead
Hello, there,
in the new editor v. 2.242 there are no possibility to show the residential names. I have to choose each to be able to see their names. And there is no possibility to show the neariest part of segment where the drive will be lead.
Is it possible to enable the option to "show residential names" just as it is for POIs and parking places?
Is it possible to enable "show the closest segment where will be driver navigated"?
It is pretty needed, because to create the residential is very easy, but if there are more streets around,…6 votes -

Add keyboard shortcuts for handling of URs
Another suggestion related to "mark as solved" and "mask as non identified" actions is now in the backlog.
Those actions are frequently made when handling URs, and would deserve shortcuts:
- "Send" (sending a comment)
- selecting the comment area (allowing to start typing a comment)
- closing the window of the UR (perhaps via the ESC key)3 votes -
Allow residential places to be moved farther from their "parent" street
Currently, it is generally not possible to create a RPP at, or move an existing one to, a location more than (approximately) 550 m from a segment that has the same street name as the RPP. However, in rural areas of the United States, it is not unheard-of for houses to be located much farther than that from the nearest road. Suggestion: increase the allowed distance for RPPs to at least 1,500 m (no objection if this would require a higher editing level to accomplish than the default R1 for creating an RPP).

Habilitar botón de Obras Temporales
Seria una buena utilidad, habilitar una nueva función en el panel de avisos de acceso rápido en la App, para notificar Obras de larga duración, o Obras de Corta Duración, estipulando un intervalo de tiempo fijo para mantener los avisos.
Un ejemplo: Cortan un carril por obras, por una rehabilitación de la mediana en una autovía, el tiempo de la obra no lo sabes, pero al ver que es una obra de gran envergadura, pondrías Aviso de Obra Larga duración.
Ejemplo 2: Vas circulando y ves que están asfaltando una calle, seguramente en 2-3 días, este terminada. Notificas aviso de…9 votes -
Change color of nature from pink to a color that matches the feature
Sometimes when being zoomed in to the map and working with different nature features such as water or forest, it is hard to see what is what. Would it be possible to make water a blue color instead of the pink color and forest green instead of pink?

Automatically create shapes for nature areas such as water or forrest
When adding certain nature-related areas such as water for ponds, lakes, etc., and forests it takes a lot of time and clicking to get them in place. It would be useful if we could point to an area and the map editor looked at that area, e.g., a lake, and then automatically create a shape from the contours of the nature feature. Then we could adjust it manually if needed before saving.

Use URL to add external provider
Sometimes WME fails to locate a right matching place from Google Maps, but the place can be found with Google search engine. As a solution I suggest to enable WME to assign a matching place also by a known URL from Google Maps.

Implementation of an App to be able to edit | Implementación de un App para poder editar
Hi 👋🏼 I have a suggestion that will change completely to improve the Efficiency of all editors and it is nothing more and nothing less than to implement an app for editors that allows us to edit like google maps only that the advantage of Waze is that it is more secure and reliable by the hierarchies. having the WME tool in our palm gives us the power to edit at any time and anywhere giving more constant tracking and updates without having to wait to get home or somewhere safe.
Cheers!Español:

Diversion recommended by the road manager due to a closed road
It could be beneficial to add one or more diversions for a closed road. I'm referring to the diversions implemented by road managers in case of construction work, for example. These diversions would help guide drivers onto 'safe' roads rather than small roads that are not suitable for heavy traffic

Remember "Update results when map moves" setting
When checking/unchecking "Update results when map moves", the setting does not persist upon refresh. It would be nice to have this setting remembered when it's checked/unchecked.
(there is a workaround by clicking filter->Apply, but it isn't obvious that this is necessary)
43 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on this. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Average Speed Camera Location
Give the ability to pinpoint the location of the camera's that are being used for ASC's.
It adds another layer of information (besides the speed check zone announcement) to the map and avoids users reporting these ANPR-camera's as regular speed camera's.

Disable Permanent Hazards on Non-Driveable Roads and Pedestrian Paths
Disable the ability for permanent hazards to be snapped to and/or placed on non-driveable roads (runway and railroad) and pedestrian paths (routable, non-routable, and stairway) in WME. PHs intended for driveable roads at junctions with these road/path types can be accidentally placed on the incorrect non-driveable segment. While easy to check and correct when placing, this could preemptively prevent mistakes.

Allow Waze to access Google location history
Especially for new editors, it would be handy to be able to let Waze read your Google location history (or have a way to import it manually) so that it can use that to establish your "area". You wouldn't technically be allowing people to expand their "areas" to places they haven't already been, just giving Waze a second source of data to look at. As a new editor in a US state that is more on the rural side, this would be quite handy, as my area currently represents a small portion of the "area" I'm familiar with and this…

Ai integration
Using Google's Gemini it could predict potential traffic based on wether conditions saying that this route will be faster because it's going to rain in 5 minutes and traffic will emerge badly. Or a more intelligent rerouting system that ai thinks is best. Or a ai road assistant for spastic questions like: find me the nearest gym that's not packed right now. Or find me food nearby without wait times.
