Set GPS point color by age in WME
Please set the color of GPS points in WME by age instead of direction, The direction is already indicated by the direction of the arrow. Editors need to know how old the tracks are to see changing traffic patterns.

Hide Name Checkbox
In an effort to reduce clutter, and provide more information to the user, it would be nice to be able suppress display of the name of certain objects on the map. Parking lot areas, drive through lanes, private community roads, etc. could all benefit from this kind of feature.
The end result could be something like "Turn right into Costco Customer Parking" without a bunch of segments that are visibly named like that in the client.19 votes -
Extra click required before moving place point
After WME v2.115, a place point requires 2 clicks to move it. When creating a new place point, you can add the stop point. But to move the place point, you have to de-select the place point then re-select it.

Allow a specific path in a junction box to be Private/access only
If we have one-way access-only restrictions, it's impossible to map this if other routes are available.
Looking at the situation in the following graphic:
https://imgur.com/cJEtlk2There's no way to get to some of the streets without using the one road that's open to all traffic.
Having the ability to set a Private Road type to a particular route in a junction box will help resolve this situation.

Enable Voice alert for approaching Speed bumps
Hello Waze Team,
It would be so helpful for all Wazers to receive Voice alerts when approaching a speed bump so that we can prepare ourselves to slow down before approaching the speed bumps, as actually speed bumps has been added but it does not appear or notify you via voice alert that we are nearing a speed bump.
Grateful to look into adding voice alert when approaching speed bumps.
Thank you,
Kushal

Please can you introduce sub and sub-sub folders etc. for saved places.
It would be great to be able to have and categorise sub folders with labels such as restaurants, hospitals, friends, clients etc.. These might be further nested to a higher level by area, county or country for example.
It is really very cumbersome to scroll through hundreds of saved places to find the one I want. When I travel abroad I have different countries places all mixed together in one long list. With nested sub folders, finding a particular saved place could be done in mere seconds.19 votes -
Layer toggling keyboard shortcut for Hazards
There are some discrepancies between the shortcuts and the actual Layer menu when it comes to Hazards. Currently, there are shortcuts to toggle Speed cameras and Railroad crossings only.
However, there are other Hazards with more frequent instances on the map that could also benefit from keyboard shortcuts. In my opinion, a single toggle for the entire Hazards section would be sufficient. Nonetheless, I'd welcome additional individual toggles along with the general one.

Edit favorites on the map editor
Enable favorite editing in map editor. This would be an easier way to make include of several favorites or POIs help in planning a trip.
Ideally it would allow planning with historic traffic data (similar to Google Maps) allowing to establish the travel time between them and estimate the arrival time .
Alternatively the Waze can import the saved locations from Google Maps, so it should be possible to link the Waze has Google Maps account.

Possibility of planning the fastest route between many destination points. Possibility that delivery person from all kinds will enjoy it
Planning a trip to a large number of destinations, for example for delivery person..
at this time, can serch route for one destination and add 1 stop to the way.
My idea is that it will be possible to put a lots of destination points and waze will calculate the fastest route between all points.18 votes -
Improve WME editing capability on mobile phones
I can currently add or delete real-time closures in WME in Chrome on my mobile (Galaxy S20). I can't change turn permissions, for instance, as touching the turn arrow to be changed deselects the segment it's part of. Can we get more functionality of WME in Chrome on a mobile phone?

Livemap uses old Lat/Lon order
When entering a lat/lon pair as starting point or destination in Livemap, it must be entered as Lon,Lat. WME was updated to copy as Lat,Lon. Livemap should be updated to match.

Built in WME HN Number Increase Number for next HN Bubble
Often adding House Numbers in cities or suburbs there are many numbers for each street.
It would be great if you could easily have the next number go up by various increments.
Would like to have 1-9 keys be increase the HN by the value selected. So if you added 10010 and then press the 1 key the HN comes up as 10011. If you had pressed the 4 key then it would have been 10014.
Since some increments are often more than 9, there should also be a place to set an increment and then a hot key when…18 votes
