  2. Allow language change for international travelers

    Hi! In our office we are big fans of WAZE and find, at least in Los Angeles, that it's superior to Google Maps and other GPS apps. Our issue? We have many frequent international travelers and in particular, when in Israel the app defaults to Hebrew and can't be changed to English. I think it would be advantageous to all if that could be made more flexible.

  3. Enable Australian States and Territories to be selected in Waze Map Editor

    Similar to how the USA can pick states in the editor, would be great to have the option available for Australia too. Random city names are currently showing up all over the country because there are cities with the same name with multiple locations in Australia. Enabling this option would make this go away.

  4. Add "Curbside Pickup" or "Curbside Service" to the services in the more info tab for places

    In this Covid-19 era many businesses are offering Curbside Pickup service to reduce/avoid direct contact between people. I think this came to stay as I have witnessed adding phone line numbers exclusively for customers to call when they are parked in front of the store so a employee can deliver the order to the customer outside the building.

  6. Put 2 fields in editor. 1 for TTS and the other for display.

    This will make the display correct. While also letting the TTS read the words right. There was a time when the editors had to cheat the display so that the TTS would read right. It was hard to comprehend the display.

  8. Add number of lanes to WME

    I don't see where WME knows how many lanes a road has. As a result, Navigation gives impossible directions like "Turn right in 1000 ft" when you've just entered a road from the left and there is heavy traffic. If Navigation could factor lane changes into the route calculations, I think it would be able to give much better directions. Nothing fowls up traffic worse than a car coming to a complete stop to make a lane change because the driver thinks the turn 500 feet ahead is a matter of life and death.

  9. Show users app language setting in WME with UR's

    When I see a new UR in WME, I have no idea in what language I need to address the person who made it. It could be dutch/french/english.

    It would be easy if this setting would appear somewhere in the UR

  11. Remove layer sharing in permalinks

    Currently, when making a permalink, you can share your layer settings by checking the "Include layer settings" checkbox. This will add the "s" parameter to the permalink so that anyone who opens it will see the map with your layer settings.
    In my experience this feature is literally never used and is frankly quite annoying. If someone sends you a PL this way, you will lose all your own layer settings and have to re-check all the layers that you had enabled.
    In my opinion, removing this feature would be the most effective solution as it is never used.

  12. Cookies of log in

    I have always wondered: I open the WME (both Prod and Beta) every day, so why do I have to log in anew almost every second day? I examined cookies of Waze, and probably found the answer.

    When I open the WME, the site adds/updates the cookie "websession" (separately for beta.waze.com and www.waze.com), which expires exactly in 24 hours. So, if one day I open the WME in the morning, and the next day I open it in the afternoon, the cookie has expired, and I have to log in anew.

    I suggest to increase the expire…

  13. Walking trail with one-way direction

    By default, if you draw a simple walking trail, it will have just one-way direction, however you can change it by pressing "R" or enable the option "Draw new roads as two-way" and draw a new one...

    But not every Editor is aware of the hotkeys, as they are only "shortcuts".

    In my opinion, a walking trail should always be by default two-way (for obvious reasons, since people can always walk both ways) or at least exist some visible toggle option on walking trail proprieties to change it with just your mouse.

  14. ToolTip for LiveMap

    Would you please consider adding a tooltip for the livemap link on the bottom of WME?
    It is not obvious at all what the icon does when you hover over it.

    Maybe something like this would be useful when you hover of the icon ( see attached)

  15. [REQUEST] Thoughts on Live closure feature, seg vs node

    I brought this up Jan/2015
    I think It should be revisited, here is the original forum post link and quote:

    https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=211&t=125253#p1009107

    "some thoughts on Live closure implementation....Seg to Seg closure is great. But if you have a parade route (for instance) you can close an entire street for a mile (say west to east segs). Unfortunatly it has no affect on cross streets (say if you wanted to cross the closed road from north to south on a side street). So...Side streets have to be closed also if they cross your closed segment. Seems to me what's really needed is…

    Hey!

    Thanks for this great suggestion.

    In the time being we have already developed and launched the closures on nodes. As you were last updated, RTC (real time closures) on turns is still WIP in very early stages with no ETA.

  16. Speed Limit Update Requests (SLURs) to WME Production for NA

    Since the app changed to have the report incorrect or missing speed limit Update Requests away from the speedometer the number of garbage SLURs has dramatically reduced. Recommend that the SLURs be moved to WME Production vice staying in WME Beta.

  17. Automatically turn on UR layer

    When an editor sends a request for information to a reporter, the email that the reporter gets says
    You can reply using the Waze mobile app, or https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat ... 42&env=usa (β) in the Waze map editor.

    When the reporter clicks the link and gets directed to WME, they can't always figure out how to respond because the layer may not be turned on so the UR does not show on the screen for them to see. The UR layer should automatically get turned on when the link is clicked since most of the reporters don't know anything about the layer…

    Hey!

    Thanks for this great suggestion, this is now available in the WME. Visiting a permalink that includes a selected object should turn on the relevant layer.

    Best,
    Waze communities team

  18. Permalink Keyboard shortcut

    It is suggested to add a keyboard shortcut that will copy a permalink into the clipboard without the need to point on the link icon. It will make this action simpler for new WME users.
    For example pressing a key (e.g. P) or CNTRL+key (after selecting the object/s).
