  2. Add the ford option

    Waze should add another option for ford, along with the existing ones: "Unpaved", "Tunnel", etc.

    In the Waze Map Editor, the editor could choose this option for the entire length of the road that passes through a body of water.

  3. URGENT : Possibility to indicate a closed road on Android Auto

    Dear Development team,

    Can you please take this point as priority.

    I'm using daily Waze on Android Auto.

    On Android Auto it is not possible to indicate from the interface when a road is Closed.

    This is a very dangerous situation, when we are driving. As we are totally lost at this moment, Waze is then not able to recalculate, as it will recalculate a way to take the closed road.
    So while driving, as most of the time it is difficult to stop somewhere), we need to unplug the phone, launch waze, indicate the trip as it can have…

  4. External providers: Also suggest places marked as permanently closed (with a proper mark)

    WME uses Google Maps as the external provider in Israel and doesn't suggest places marked in Google as permanently closed. Meanwhile, showing that the place is marked as closed in Google would hint that the place needs additional checking and possibly should be removed from the Waze map.

  5. A maioria das cidade do Brasil tem diversos QUEBRA-MOLAS que não são padronizados, muito menos sinalizados. Sugiro notificação para eles

    A maioria das cidades do Brasil tem diversos QUEBRA-MOLAS que não são padronizados, muito menos sinalizados. Levando uma infinidade de transtornos aos condutores, seja danificando o veiculo, seja causando até um possível acidente, caso o veiculo venha em velocidade e ao passar por esse mesmo quebra-molas venha perder o controle causando assim um acidente, que pode ser leve ou fatal

  6. Add apple Music on Android

    So I use Apple Music on my Samsung s22 Ultra which is an android device (I can't imagine that I'm the only person who dose this). So integration with Apple music on Android would be amazing

  8. 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:

    1. 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.
    2. Greater Route Clarity:

      • Elevation Changes: 3D maps can…

  9. Make the WME Error Messages more user friendly

    It would be handy if WME was more detailed in all the error messages.

    Like it could at least take you to them so you can see what the issue is and also allow you to easily remove those edits causing the error if you don't have the permissions to make it or someone else has edited the element before you got to it.

    The warning notifications haven't really been touched since I started editing and a lot of the time they're not as helpful.

    User lukewsaunders even mentioned "for a beginning editor the warnings aren't very helpful and are…

  10. Road Closure without Re-Routing

    When we are doing closures on inter-regional roads, particularly in Canada, there are routes where there are no alternate routes available. Or maybe there is an alternative route, but that alternate route exceeds the likely closure duration or is a day+ detour.

    If the editors, a partner, or even a data feed places a closure on these segments it will either

    a) break routing entirely - it simply cannot find a route
    b) find some route with unverified segments from the basemap import, which is an unmaintained/decommissioned road. (this isn't good experience - other apps like gMaps does this constantly). …

  11. Show "Hidden" external providers like Yext

    Show that this data exists, so that editors will be more likely to merge than to delete.

    When new place points are added as part of a large upload from Yext or some other advertising aggregator, many editors will be likely to reject the new-place PURs because an already perfect place already exists.

    If they were aware that there was some other important information in the PUR, then they would be much more likely to accept the PUR.

    The back end data script reveals the existence of this data in places. But I don't think it makes sense to depend…

    Hey!

    Thank you very much for this great suggestion.

    It was added to our backlog to try and see the possibility to implement it when we will next use external providers.

    Please note there is no ETA for it yet.

    Best,
    Hezi

  12. Symbol for Restrictions that repeat annually

    Currently, the restrictions that are repeated annually are indicated as those that have expired with the yellow triangle.
    It would be very useful to differentiate the restrictions that have actually expired from those that are not currently active but are repeated annually.

  14. Invert Coordinates in Editor (first Latitude, after Longitude)

    In Waze Map Editor the coordinates appear Longitude and Latitude.
    But in my opinion, this is stupid, because all Maps, GPS, Navigators use the opposite, first Latitude and after Longitude.
    I use the coordinates to search something in another map, and I have to reverse the coordinates.

    So, I suggest invert the coordinates in Waze Map Editor. Showing first Latitude, after Longitude.

  15. Note or comment on reason for place update request in editor

    Create an option to add a note onto a PUR in the editor when a change is pending for a higher level editor to approve the request.

    There are several suggestions on being able to add reasons for why an update is rejected, but a method for the submitting editor to explain the reason for a change might be more effective in helping the senior editor make the decision to accept or reject.

    This can currently be done with a map comment, but often those arent noticed when reviewing the PURs in busy areas or will remain on the map…

  16. Incluir combustibles del vehículo y mostrar en ruta las gasolineras del combustible seleccionado.

    Creo muy conveniente poder elegir el combustible de tu vehículo y que mostrará las gasolineras en la ruta seleccionada, con un rango de "x" km para poder marcar la gasolinera y automáticamente recalcular la rupa para llevarte a repostar y seguir la ruta. En mi caso uso GLP (principalmente) y Gasolina.

  17. Post exact number of exit to take

    When there are multiple exits on a single road, presently you show only what the sign states ( ie: exit 23 ABC ). If I am to take exit 23 B it should state that at the beginnig not when I'm on top of it.

  18. New suggestion subcategories: (1) UR Handling and (2) Management Tools

    Please add suggestion-box subcategories for (1) UR Handling and (2) Management Tools. These are critical aspects of the experience for all Waze editors. Strictly speaking they are somewhat separate from main WME functionality, so it would be more inviting to provide dedicated suggestion subcategories.

    UR Handling would involve all aspects of how URs and PURs are submitted and handled, including communication with UR reporters. Community Management Tools would involve Waze tools to support how new and advancing editors are contacted, informed, awarded greater responsibilities, or in the unfortunate but not uncommon case of difficult editor situations, contained.

  19. Differentiate Visiting Helpers/Raiders from True Area Managers

    Please differentiate between visiting helpers/raiders and true Area Managers. At present, temporary map raiders and other visiting helpers are typically provided with editable area by granting them "Area Manager" status. As a result, community tools do not distinguish between visiting helpers and dedicated local managers. This can confuse editors, particularly beginners and visitors, who want to identify a true Area Manager for a region in order to open a conversation on local issues. It may also demoralize true Area Managers when the same status they worked hard for, and feel proud to have been granted, appears to be granted with…

  20. Temporary Construction Zone Restriction

    Per conversation on the editors discord, it would be nice to have a black and orange dashed line which would indicate construction zones in Waze. This way drivers would get an alert and know to slow down if there are any speed restrictions. In the WME app, users would be able to set these temporary restrictions up to what is allowed per their level. This would be done through restrictions field in the editor. A tab would be added in the restrictions editor to show construction zone information. For a user to set a construction zone on a segment or…
