1. 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 colour.

   If you could have google maps like custom points too this would change the way people use this app, custom cafe pin points created by communities or an old lady colouring in "that one path need to travel". A lot of the time I don't want navigation per say but I still want a pointer to where i'm going if that makes sense.

2. 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 a place picture"?
   Yes/Cancel

   The picture data is taken directly from Google and you'd have the direction of the shot too.

4. 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:
   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:

   CODE: SELECT ALL
   &overlay=false&cta=false

   The difference is:
   Without overlay suppression: https://beta.waze.com/livemap?lon=-73.9 ... 95&zoom=14
   With overlay suppression: https://beta.waze.com/livemap?lon=-73.9 ... &cta=false

   Would you consider adding this to the Live Map link in the lower right hand corner of WME?

   Also as a link to the location of edits in Live Map is also provided in the Editor Profile under Recent Edits (https://www.waze.com/user/editor/Joyriding) it would be appreciated if that URL could be updated as well.

   Alternatively, a compromise could be only displaying the overlay once every X days, but would require a change to Live Map.

   Thank you.

5. 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.

6. 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 all three an initial message, follow up and closed them, I did not receive any messages on my test account:

   Not registered - see screenshot 1
   Inbox (only the welcome message) - see screenshot 2
   I did not change any of the notifications on the app, I just installed the app and started driving - - see screenshot 3

   I know this is not centercode, and I will post about this over there, I sent my logs on April 28th at 22:42:13 UTC / 15:40 GMT -7 hours.

   We sometimes get URs with no drive or suggested route GPS traces and we will waste our time sending many messages to a user or leave the UR for more than a week or two.

   Suggestion: add a "Not Following" tag for URs where the original poster is not following the UR or it comes from a Not Registered account.

   This is not posted as a bug because this was WAD.

   I am sure ronsek57 can give you tons of stats of how many URs are closed as Not Identified.

   I know that I did not send some of those URs but I can check if there is a problem, because they are on a frequent drive and I can fix them without any messages from the OP.
