מפת ניוט ליעד ביניים
שלום רב
כאשר מבקשים לנווט ליד משנה המפה מובילה לחניון ואז לא ניתן לנווט ליעד סופי...
לדוגמא אבן גבירול 124 למגדל המאה בתל אביב כיעד משנה מחייבת כניסה לחניון ולא מאפשרת לעבור ליד הסופי

Chuva
Gostaria de fazer uma sugestão. vamos lá, caso adotem. O waze poderia dizer se o caminho escolhido está chovendo ou não. Isso seria útil para condutores de moto, mas não só. Outra sugestão seria uma opção para bloquear a tela contra toques acidentais quando aberto. Quando chove os pingos caem na tela e atrapalham e chegam a fechar o waze.

Tag URs with "Not Following"
I tried finding a post that described this problem but I could not find it, in case there is one, it can be merged to that thread.
tl;dr Add a tag to URs when the user is not registered or not following a UR.
Not long ago ronsek57 told me that users, who just opened the app and never registered, are able to send URs but they never receive any of our messages asking for more information. I tested that on three URs (IDs 11946180, 11946458, 11946459), I am not adding permalinks because they already disappeared from WME.
I sent…

Vitrual Lanes
There are many places where Lanes go one or two junctions back (H junctions for example). The editor should allow to define lanes that are not limited to the turns at the end of this segment:
Real example:
We have 3 lanes. The left lane is loaded for 1 KM. In that 1 KM there are 4 junctions ( right turns allowed).It would be nice to be able to define 1 lane for Left turn, one for going Straight Ahead, and one for Straight Ahead or Right.And be able to do this for all 5 segments.

Improve Segment History Reporting of Turns
Description: Currently when editors make most changes to a turn between two segments the segment history simply shows "Turn onto X road updated". It would be much more helpful if we could easily tell what was changed about that turn. Was is a turn instruction override (TIO)? A difficult turn? Time-based restrictions? There was a change in a value associated with the data model of that segment, so it's very much possible to have the segment history be more specific.
In this image there are three entries for turn updates to the same turn, but other than the TIO there…

UR Reply via Email
This is slightly outside the scope of WME Beta, but in general about our ability to provide a better service for end users.
Allow users to reply to URs via email. Many support systems allow this, and in most cases, the process is fairly simple. The process might be as follows:
- User submits a request/issue from the app while they drive
- We (editors) get a pin on the map with submitted details as before
- User gets an email with a unique response email address (something like 8766123133@requests.waze.com)
- User gets instructions on how to view the map issue they submitted

Include Lane Guidance with URs in purple provided route
Currently when we get a UR, we can see what primary instructions were given to users at junctions. Now that we have lanes, it would be helpful in diagnosing problematic lane configurations if we could see what lane guidance information was presented to the user as well.

Surfacing House Number Errors
A nice feature would be to surface the real error message from house number additions. Sometimes when there is a conflict between segments, you get a generic "there was an error" type message, but the back end call has the full details which you can see through dev tools. For example:
This segment: https://www.waze.com/en-US/editor/?env=usa&lon=-97.48797&lat=30.16312&zoom=6&segments=48240740
Conflicts with: https://www.waze.com/en-US/editor/?env=usa&lon=-94.82458&lat=29.82488&zoom=6&segments=48240740,511847520,511847562,511847579When the city is listed as "none" (No City). When adding "115" to the latter, this resulted in an error (see attached)
However, the backend error that is returned by the web request is (see attached)
There's enough in the error message there…

Metric system on new connections
Hi,
Can you add that the metric system is automatically set up according to the country to which we are connected?
Because there are a lot of L1 in France who change the speed limits of entire districts / cities and put 50 mph ... instead of 50 km/h ... (a difference of 30 km/h ...)Take care and thanks for all :)

Allow closure overlapping
Hi,
very often I am notified of an event that needs closure after it started, then I go to select the many segments that must be closed.
When I want to add a proper closure on them, there are already dozen of closure made by drivers and I have to remove all of them one by one before adding mine. That's annoying because it is slow, and sometimes new closure are made by drivers while I am removing them :And overlapping closure are not a real problem because when it is done by waze app it happens often so…

A place with an expiration date
I would like to suggest adding an expiration date to a place. When the expiration data is reached the place deletes it self from the map. This option is good for places such as events like weddings, parties, sports tournament etc..
Today, many such places which their event date passed exist on the map and nobody remembers to delete them and the map gets loaded.
The expiration date default would be of course - No expiration so that new places would not be deleted.
Such an option is already implemented in Map comments.By: reuvenirony

Implement reCAPTCHA v3
With the recent release of version 3 of reCAPTCHA (the thing you may get to see when you log in and the system suspects you may be a bot instead of a user), it would be a great idea to upgrade to the latest version. We've had several users who have had to fill in the CAPTCHA protection every time for some weird reason (I suspect someone in their neighbourhood is to blame), which could be alleviated with the new system. The system now gives you a score between 0 and 1 to gauge how trustworthy the request is. That…

More Specific Error Messages
Specific error messages are very useful, and we can use more of them.
Here are some recent cases I have run across where it would be helpful to have a more-specific error message
RPP too far from identical HN (zoom out if necessary to highlight the HN location)
RPP too far from recently-deleted HN; try again after HN update. (zoom out to highlight the former HN location)
Improper restricted turn in JB (show and highlight the specific turn arrow which is the problem). Allow the turn and try again (https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=211&t=276336&p=1922955#p1922761)By: voludu2

WME frontend should show backend errors
Hi,
when saving, if the backend fails, it returns a message. But often they are not localized, and in that case we get a generic
"Please try again later" which is useless because in most case the problem will not solve and the only solution is to cancel all edits.
Here is a list of messages that are not localized and need to be displayed (maybe not exactly in the same form, but at least do not tell the user to try again if it is impossible that it works.Invalid street 0 was set for venue ID -100

[Request] Allow to make streets two way temporarily
Allow to make streets two way temporarily, like closures, but the other way around.
Sometimes construction works require you to open another street and turns. And you cannot do this in time by editing map. You can close the streets, but you cant OPEN the streets for some time. I mean one way or with restricted turns.
So we need an option to temporarily bypass one way setting and closed turns penalty. This may be called Openers :)By: Olestas

Show RPP PUR's on feed list
There is no privacy issue involved here.
There's simply a pin in the map, among many others, but I can't find them like any others, just because category is "residential"
The privacy issues are solved by the already omitted creator/updater of the place. By not showing them, you are simply making it harder for the PUR be moderated, as we have to scan the map or rely on scripts to do that.
So, plainly: RPP PUR's should be shown in feed list just as any other PUR.

Keep previous history for merged/split segments
Hello!
I think it would be very helpful if segment history included data from previous "iterations" of that segment, when a segment was created by merge or split.
Right now, the history starts anew any time there is a new segment ID, but I would imagine it should be fairly trivial to develop a backend mechanism that, any time a segment is split or merged, merges the history of the previous segment ID into the new segment's history.
This is useful not only diagnostically but also to catch cheaters on the map, who today can split and merge segments at…
