3D Maps
Implementation of 3D Maps
Proposal Overview:
I propose the integration of 3D maps into the Waze navigation app, enhancing the user experience and providing vital contextual information that improves navigation for drivers.Key Benefits of 3D Maps for Drivers:
Enhanced Spatial Awareness:
- Improved Orientation: 3D maps provide a more realistic view of the environment, helping drivers better understand their surroundings, especially in complex urban areas or mountainous regions.
- Landmark Recognition: Drivers can more easily identify landmarks and key points of interest (POIs), which can aid in navigation and make routes more intuitive.
Greater Route Clarity:
- Elevation Changes: 3D maps can…

Leader board changes
The leader board ranking should be updated automatically and not the day after.
The leader board should be split or selectable by points for edits only vs driving.
This should encourage new editors and let them see that their work reflects in a higher ranking (if they are sensitive for this) which isn't hijacked by people who are only driving.6 votes -
Avoid interstates only
Please keep the options you have and add an additional one where you can avoid the interstates only. There are times when you want to drive highways, freeways, etc. but avoid the interstates only.

Support "alternate one ways" as permanent hazards
Allow mapping permanent "alternate one ways" as permanent hazards.
Alternate one ways are two-way roads that are not wide enough for two vehicles to transit in opposite directions at the same time.
In Europe, they are the road section within a square blue sign with two arrows (this side has the right of way) and a white circle with 2 arrows with a red border (this way must give way if someone is already transiting from the other direction).
68 votesGreat timing! We’re currently working on the option to map alternate one ways as permanent hazard. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Expand original category of a new place
Today, when adding a new place, we cannot assign to it a specific sub-category at once (except sub-categories of Car Services). We have to assign a generic category, then remove it and either enter the sub-category directly, or add again the proper category, expand it, and select the sub-category from the list. I suggest enabling expanding of the originally assigned category similar to categories added later.

Hallo. Wäre ein Option für Grenzübergang zu sperren nicht schlecht.
Hallo. Wäre ein Option für Grenzübergang zu sperren nicht schlecht.
Mit Einsatzfahrzeug darf ich nicht über die Grenze fahren, aber manchmal führt die Navi mich dort durch. Und manchmal verbietet auch keine andere Option.
Wie ich mich errinere, in iGo Navigation war diese Option verfügbar.
Ich glaube könnten wir hier auch nutzen.4 votes -

It should really be allowed anywhere customer parking is allowed.

Save all native WME client settings on server side
Base WME client settings are only saved to the local machine, as every time you log in somewhere on a new workstation, you have to go restore your preferences such as Environment, Language, Imperial/Metric, Compact Mode, Transparent Arrows, etc.
However, with the implementation of Issue Tracker, saved filter settings are immediately accessible upon a new login, proving that WME user settings can be saved at the server end.
Please save all native WME settings on the server side so that they are already in place when an existing editor logs in on a new workstation for the first time.

Separators and Decimal Signs per Language
I noticed that in the Waze Editor, under Trips and Segment Lengths, there is a number where the sign for a decimal is a .
For example: At 175 kilometers and 300 meters it says: 175.300 km
In the Netherlands, for example, we use different signs to indicate decimals.
At 1000 meters we do: 1.000 meters
At 25 kilometers and 200 meters we do: 25,200 km (or 25.200 meters).For example, you see 844 meters for the lengths of segments. If you then click on a segment, it suddenly says 1.340 km. For us in the Netherlands, that is 1340…

Road shields, ability to add different sign as override to the major one used for that street name
In Finland, we currently have named roads as "180 - Saaristotie" etc. and would like to get rid of the number in street name and just leave the shield. But that is not possible because we have quite a few locations where road number changes while road name stays the same. Another problem is when road category changes to minor road so that the number drops off completely.
So there is a need for feature where you could set an override shield to selected segments while the default sign for that road name stays active on other segments.

Issue Tracker - add filter by Language
Now that the Language setting is attached to URs, it would be very beneficial in terms of efficiency to have the ability to filter by language in the Issue Tracker.
The filter should allow editors to select one or more languages and either include or exclude the selection.
For example:
1. include: English + French + Greek
2. exclude: Greek12 votes -
Distância até a proxima cidade
Durante o percurso de uma rota longa, seria útil se junto a disância até o destino, também fosse informada a distância até a próxima cidade. Isso com o objetivo de ajudar o condutor a se programar para abastecimentos, alimentação ou hospedagem.

Sebességkorlátozás megváltoztatása
Budapesten a Váci úton az M0 felé haladva az Óceánárok kereszteződés után van egy 60-as tábla, majd kb. 80 m után Budapest vége tábla, de a Waze továbbra is a 60 km/h-s korlátozást jelzi., ami helytelen. Kérem javítását.

Show only POI which are along the route to destination
Show only POI which are along the route to destination. While a user is driving, typically user will like to see POS like Gas Station, Coffee Shop, Hair Salon which is along the route in SAME direction as his/her destination.
Make UX simpler so user can pick POI which are along the route in 1, 2 miles or 5, 10 minutes increments.

Ability to add Funeral Procession in USA Maps
Ability to add Funeral Procession in USA Maps. Recently I attended a funeral, and it was escorted by police cops. Police cops were directing traffic and managing it between funeral house and Cemtery.
Waze can provide an ability to user where they can mark the Start (Funeral Home, Mosque, Synagogue, Temple, Church etc.) and cemetery and Waze adds an indication that there is funeral processing going on or will be going on.
This will help other Wazers to plan accordingly
