Moderation to merge Places
It is not allowed to merge places with lock larger that your level.
Could stay pending for moderation?by ErsonSergio

Thank you for this suggestion.
As the lock level system was designed to keep the safety of the map, and this seems like an edge case, we currently not moving forward with this suggestion.

custom layers and map editor colours / themes
so I have used Waze for a bit and I love seeing the editor map with the coloured roads, but there's a few problems...
- no support in night mode
- can't change the colours, even if it's there to match the sign sometimes I want to have custom colours,
- can't have custom layers, sometimes I want to have the alternate route 1 in Melbourne Australia white or create my own custom routes. a layer I would like to create is a mobile camera colour where a road that has mobile cameras and such shows up as a custom…1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

About adding a river in the waze editor
About adding a river in the waze editor
It takes a very long time to add a river
I think it would be easier if you could write a river as easily as you would write a road.

Suppress Live Map Overlay
Recently a change to Live Map introduced an overlay and call to action footer with information on how to download the Waze app when the URL contains a permalink to a location.
(Image attached)
While this is great for users that have not yet been introduced to Waze, map editors do not need to see it every time they open Live Map from within WME. Fortunately, if the following query string parameters are appended to the URL, both the overlay and call to action are suppressed:

Thank you for this suggestion.
This suggestion is related to Live Map and not WME.In addition, We don’t have the overlay anymore, and therefor we won’t move forward with the suggestion.

Allow taking a Place picture from Streetview
Requirements: the Streetview panel is open and the place layer is on
Then: allow creating a box on the Streetview panel. When a box is drawn add a bar saying: now select a place to apply this picture.
Add an X on the box to delete it. Allow the user to resize the box.
Set a minimum size and a fixed ratio (the one used by the client) for a decent resolution.
Drawing a new box removes the previous one if present.If then the user clicks on a place, ask him:
"would you like to set this selection as…

As mention in the post, this is something that we won’t do, as these images are copy righted.

Recommend change link for Parking Lot Operator Fixes
The "Add an operator to the list" link under parking lot operator selection makes it sound like you can only add new operator names.
Once you go to the link you see that the form is actually for more than additions; "Use this form to add, delete or replace parking lot operators that will be shown in the Client."
Recommend changing "Add an operator to the list" to the following "Operator list change suggestion". If you want a second line "(Add, Delete, Merge, or Spelling Correction)". This is more descriptive of what the form can actually do.

Unfortunately parking lots are low in priority, and therefore this is currently not planned.
Thank you!

Tag URs with "Not Following"
I tried finding a post that described this problem but I could not find it, in case there is one, it can be merged to that thread.
tl;dr Add a tag to URs when the user is not registered or not following a UR.
Not long ago ronsek57 told me that users, who just opened the app and never registered, are able to send URs but they never receive any of our messages asking for more information. I tested that on three URs (IDs 11946180, 11946458, 11946459), I am not adding permalinks because they already disappeared from WME.
I sent…

Thank you very much for taking the time for thinking of it. As it was mentioned in the forum before, as for now, this suggestion will not be implemented.
We are currently working on some other changes to our conversations.
