  2. Improve satelite image

    In "Valera, Venezuela" the satelite image of Google is a real mess. I really loved the former images from the waze map. Do something google because your satelite image is not helping me to edit the roads in my city

  4. Better WME ranking system

    It is very hard for newcomers in WME to be able to contribute as much as they wanted due to the ranking system that doesn't allow to do much at first. It is very hard to get to at least level 3 which allows to alter some segments in the driving area and it is almost impossible without hunting for missing POIs or stuff like that. There aren't always many editors with higher ranks and sometimes they can get overwhelmed by the editing tasks and opened map problems.
    There should be a better system in place that would allow newcomers…

  5. First-Time WME Login Tour / Tutorial

    Create a tour/tutorial screen that pops up when a user logs in to the editor for the first time. The screen would be greyed out except for highlighted areas, where a chat bubble would explain what that button/area in the editor is for. It would also provide the means to have the editor engage the community through the forum or Wazeopedia.

    For example:
    - "This is the layers button. You can turn on extra layers to see roads, places, comments from other editors, etc."
    - "This area contains a feed of map content, your recent drives and editable area, and…

  6. 2D Hazards

    I'm not sure if this sort of thing will be covered in Permanent Hazards development, but it would be very handy to be able to define an area polygon to which a hazard report would apply.
    To me, the obvious application would be for prolonged construction zones where roads remain open but users ought to be made aware of an issue ahead.
    How I see this working:
    An editor would draw a polygon over the affected area and then choose a hazard type and add an optional comment to the polygon. It should be possible to define schedules and an…

  7. Show RPP PUR's on feed list

    There is no privacy issue involved here.

    There's simply a pin in the map, among many others, but I can't find them like any others, just because category is "residential"

    The privacy issues are solved by the already omitted creator/updater of the place. By not showing them, you are simply making it harder for the PUR be moderated, as we have to scan the map or rely on scripts to do that.

    So, plainly: RPP PUR's should be shown in feed list just as any other PUR.

    OBS: Previous discussion took place here: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=211&t=249211&p=1774596#p1774596

  8. Drive to Feature on Cartouche

    While editing the map I would like a separate layer so that I can make notes and pin it to areas of the map that I would like to visit. These online notes should only be viewable by the user who made the notes. It would also be necessesary to navigate to these Points of Interest and have the notes pop up so that pictures can be taken of the surrounding so that the Waze map can reflect real world situations out there on the road.

    The Waze notes layer (home computer) and the Android phone should be synced so…

  9. Color-coded according to speed in editor

    A feature that had been good when you are editing speed limits would be to go into a "Edit mode for the speed limit" just as the house number.
    That all roads would be color-coded according to speed. and roads with no speed would be gray, so you can easily see which roads have the limitation and which have not.

    Another thing that would be great is that you can put limits whereever on the road and not just at a crossing. Again, just as the house number.

  10. Vehicle restricted closures

    Now: the closures are for all vehicles.

    SUG: possibility of applying a closure for a certain type of vehicle and not for others, for example: closures only for taxis.

  11. Parking Lots: Show Payment Types only when needed

    Please consider showing the 11 payment types checkboxes only when the "Cost" dropdown has "Low", "Moderate" or "Expensive" selected.

    This will help you to have consistent information too: For example, what does it mean that a free parking log accepts Credit Cards as a payment type?

  15. Chuva

    Gostaria de fazer uma sugestão. vamos lá, caso adotem. O waze poderia dizer se o caminho escolhido está chovendo ou não. Isso seria útil para condutores de moto, mas não só. Outra sugestão seria uma opção para bloquear a tela contra toques acidentais quando aberto. Quando chove os pingos caem na tela e atrapalham e chegam a fechar o waze.

  18. report from home/office

    I don't always have time or ability to safely report an issue while driving. While it wouldn't be as fresh, a report of such things as standing water, downed branches, black ice,..etc would/could still be relevant and maybe save some hassle or even a life and heartache. I'd like to be able get to the office, open Waze and mark a map where a hazard is...with a time stamp so that users would know how fresh it is...and it could be verified by another user before becomoing "hot".

  19. You cannot report an issue unless you are directly at the exact site on a route, which is dangerous.

    Allow users to report an issue up to 2km past the site of issue. This allows time to safely pass whatever it is you are reporting.
