Flag Waze segments for addition to Google Maps
If an editor adds roads to Waze and sees they aren't in Google Maps, we have to add them using the Google Maps interface. This does not include access to additional imagery which can make it easier to make the updates.
With the increased data exchange between Waze and Google, it makes sense to have a button to flag sections of the Waze map for incorporation of high priority changes rather than having to map the area twice.

Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

While Waze editors frequently add new roads, these updates do not automatically sync with Google Maps, requiring a manual and redundant reporting process through the Google Maps interface. Given the increasing data exchange between the two platforms, a streamlined 'Flag for Google Maps' button should be implemented. This would allow editors to highlight high-priority changes for incorporation, eliminating the need to map the same area twice and providing Google with more accurate, editor-verified data

This affects me several times every week. I often don't have time to fix Google, too.
