Allow users/editors to upload a picture for a poi from device/WME rather than take a photo on the place from car.
My suggestion is the following feature: Allow users and editors to upload photos from their phone’s gallery (taken before or after visiting a place) rather than only allowing “instant” photos taken from car from a really bad angle.
My suggestion solves this problem: Many current POI photos are low-quality or taken from bad angles because they are often snapped quickly while in transit. Allowing gallery uploads would result in better, more helpful photos that accurately describe a location’s surroundings.
In more words: Finding specific points, like a package delivery locker (automat), can be difficult without clear visual clues. I suggest that Waze should allow users to upload photos for a POI even if they are not currently at the location. Furthermore, Map Editors should have the ability to attach quality photos to the POIs they create to improve navigation accuracy. I am aware that editors must approve photos based on specific criteria, and this should remain the same. My point is that if users could upload photos from their device gallery, it would naturally eliminate ‘accidental’ bad photos (like photos of steering wheels, feet, or under-table shots) taken in a hurry. Users could pick the best, most helpful photo they already have.
