  1. Editor Profile daily edit count displayed date

    On the editor profile page (https://www.waze.com/user/editor/username), the daily edit count pill boxes advance at midnight GMT. The date displayed on mouseover shows the date relative to local time. This means after 1600 my time (-8), it will show today's date for edits in the previous 24 hours. At midnight local, the dates all switch and show the "correct" date until 1600 again.

  2. Create or Save and edit drive route and daily commute

    Hi

    It would be great if we can create and alter our own drive route. While it is great that Waze does suggest the best route at the time, there might be more alternate routes that do not appear on the list. If we could be able to create and edit out own route, we avoid a certain toll road, but go on another. or choose a certain toll entry point over another that could save us a couple of dollars every trip.

    Or if Waze could use and save our already travelled daily commutes? that would make it easier…

  3. New health safety information in places

    After the pandemic of COVID-19, some information such as air-conditioned or Wi-Fi became less relevant when choosing a restaurant, for example. It would be interesting for editors and users to be able to add information related to health safety measures, such as:

    1.Need for reservations: Some restaurants require that the consumer has already made the reservation before.
    2. Space for the elderly: Some places separate a place for the elderly, reducing the risk of contamination.
    3.Contactless payment: The location features payment via NFC or other contactless methods.
    4. Masks required: Despite obligation always, it is a good incentive and even…

    Please, add 'morgue' to the list of POI type in map editor because I'm not sure what exactly category I have to select for it. Thanks!

  5. Allow importing of map problems by Country Coordinators/Global Champs

    There are various tools and open data sources available in several countries that allow us to pinpoint locations on the map where someone should take a look to make sure everything is up to date. I think it would be great if coordinators could upload a file to Waze that would result in map problems appearing in the WME at those locations. There are some userscripts out there for specific cases that can already show such an overview, but that would require all editors to have that script installed.

    Minimum viable product:
    Certain editors get access to a form where…

  6. Allow searching for Comments

    It would be helpful to search for specific comments. For example, comments with "TODO" in the title.

  7. WME notification shouldn't reset counter of PMs in forum

    If I get a new private message while I'm in WME, the notification shows a tiny 1, and the counter of unread PMs in the forum is reset to 0. The counter should be reset only after the PM has been read in the forum.

  10. Name field for RPPs

    I propose to add a name field for RPPs: "Building name"

    It should be an optional field, ideally with some help text besides/below it to remind users in which cases they should fill this in.

    It can be used for condo complexes that carry a name or even retirement homes / long-term case homes (which currently have no real category.)

    Obviously, it should not be used for uses as "my home" or "my friend's home"

    In WME, we're getting a lot of place requests for condo towers, because users love to add names and then can't figure out in which…

  12. Fuel

    More and more people use a fuel network card. It would then be useful to be able to select more than one favourite fuel brand in the list.

  13. Ability to enter non-standard addresses in Map Editor, e.g. "11x/1"

    Ability to enter non-standard addresses in Map Editor, e.g. "11x/1" currently it's not possible and those are missed completely from waze, messing up with "11x addresses missing "/1", which might be existed and completely different house, which makes things complicated

  14. Comment Alert

    Attach a trigger to comment to create a map update request in the future.
    Use for any temporary map change that needs an expiration like a road closure has.

  15. Bring WME Closure Functionality to Waze App

    If the Waze App (or separate dedicated app) supported the full editing power of closures in WME it would make it much easier to update them if you are out and about. Requiring to be near a full-scale web browser to update introduces delay in updating Closures.

  16. receive UR's notifications on mobile for new issues

    I mean we're not familiar what users report about unless we open WME to track reports.
    sometimes the problem could be solved by chatting then editors can start apply what needed.
    i don't need to set in front of computer to chat with users and maybe there r not going to respond that time so make it easy for us to receive first notification if users report on a new issue on our mobile, then usually as you know we can chat with them in our phones.

    Note: as a editor i want to know what is going on with…

  17. Allow all user levels to report closed or roadworks on map editor

    I'm a level 1 map editor and when driving due to UK Law changes we can no longer use the phone while stopped, it would be an idea to add reporting of road closures roadworks etc, under the map editor similar to the points of interest when we get to our destination via a computer or the Waze app using a pinpoint.

  18. Have a checkbox for a Gas Station to be able choose if it has a different price for cash vs credit or even cash/credit vs membership card

    If a gas station places could have an option to choose if there are two different prices for gas depending on how you pay would be very helpful. For example, Cumberland Farms here in the states always has 2 different prices; one for cash/credit and another for their Smartpay App/card

  20. Improve error message for incorrect password

    Whenever one tries to login into the editor (or any other site) and the password is incorrect, the error message is: "Something went wrong. Try again". It is suggested to add: "Check the Caps Lock and the Keyboard language setting". An even better idea is not to allow insertion of non-English letters, and warn the user while typing the password, and warn for all capital letters when the user clicks on Log in.
