  1. House numbers for villages with no street names

    There are many places where there are no street names - it's just "City name - number" as the address.

  2. WME - Dynamic Speed Camera (Icon).

    Hi.

    It would be a nice touch to add a - Dynamic Speed Camera (Icon), so whatever the user inputs in the Speed Value Box, it will reflect the same on the Icon. I feel this would help new users who think every Speed Camera is (30) but in reality it can be something else.

    Thanks!

  3. Assign alternative street names to residential places

    If a street has alternative names, we need the option to assign those names to residential places on the street.

  4. Enter an area place with Wicket polygon

    It is suggested to add a possibility to enter a polygon with Wicket format that will draw an area place according to that input (unsaved). It will be helpful for definition of an updated area for an AM.

  5. Differentiate between area map comments and point comments

    It would be great if it would be made possible to select to only see point map comments and/or area map comments.

    Area map comments are quite intrusive, leading to a lot of editors switching off the comment layer. As a result they sometimes miss useful information and make unnecessary edits.

    If you can choose to only see one type of comment, that would be very helpful.

  6. Routes in a Junction Box should have different gradients of colors

    When selecting a segment entering a Junction Box all possible routes are shown with a green color when the route is valid and red when it is invalid/forbidden. These routes can be mixed and sharing the same segment. To see which segments belong to specific routes the editor must hover the mouse pointer to the exiting arrow. The idea here is to be able to visualize without doubt each route (for instance, when sharing the JB screenshot)

  7. Markers for Emergency Service Stations

    An awesome addition to the waze map editor would be the addition of emergency service station markers and permanent building markers / icons with two types for example:
    Emergency tap (single tap on any of the icons will add it to your route)
    - Hospitals (Marked with a red and white "H")
    - Police Stations (Marked with a house shape outline & a badge inside)
    - Fire Stations (Marked with a house shape outline & Fire Axe or fire truck inside)
    Passive Icons
    - Schools (that have a highlighted zone area around them when route passes though and an alert…

  8. Exit numbers on freeways that change the voice instruction

    In some countries, including here in Australia, freeway exits often have exit numbers on the signs. Currently, we include these in the ramp segment's name. This means that, for example, a voice instruction may sound like this:

    "In 1 kilometre, exit to the left onto Exit 24: C407 - Clyde Road to Berwick"

    You can see how the word "exit" is repeated. If we could mark exit numbers on the map, then the voice instruction could give a more natural sounding sentence, for example:

    "In 1 kilometre, take exit 24 on the left onto C407 - Clyde Road to Berwick"

  9. Photos in URs

    Enable Wazers to add photo and video attachments to their URs from the phone or live map. Photos of intersections would enable editors to solve problems more quickly, especially in rural areas where street view is sparse.

    Currently, some northeastern states let users send media via email, including the editor’s username in the subject line. This alternative would be easier for users and editors.

    Ideally, if a user sends inappropriate media, then the editor can forward it to their RC in-app and have them review. Then, the RC could decide next steps.

    Under this system, if a photo/video has illegal…

  10. Parking along with the Parking area code and Charging info would be helpful

    Showing the nearest Parking close to destination is Cool, would be good to also see the Parking area code and if that has Charging points (wherever applicable) -
    I am in Stockholm, I usually have to struggle understanding the parking code, for which I can check the charges before I travel.
    With Electric cars becoming more popular, it would be great to have the Parking code combined with a Mark highlighting if cars can be charged.
    Example Stockholm P - which allows free charging or Mer or Incharge which are paid. This info will be really helpful.
    That way can…

  12. "View in Street View" button for places

    Added "View in Street View" button for places, similar to what update requests have.
    This request is motivated by the fact that, at times, Street View is not aligned with the segments and you have to go hunting for the point where it is available.

  13. Option for not enabling Closed updates layer when opening UR

    The latest version of WME will now enable the Closed updates layer when opening a UR. Many editors don't want or need this, so I am suggesting a toggle (setting) to prevent this from occurring.

  14. Allow assigning house numbers from the map while there.

    I go a lot of places and the house numbers in some areas are either nonexistent or just plain wrong. It would be nice to edit the map while on the street with the house numbers.

  16. change/adapt default average speed assigned to a segment for itinerary calculation

    Hello,

    Using the script "road speed", I can see what are the average speed used for route calculation on every segment.

    I'm working on the map in Rwanda, Africa. Here, the major/minor highway may sometime be unpaved road. On these road, the driving speed never exceed 20-30 kph. However, by default, the speed on these "major highway" segment asigned by waze is 60-80 kph, which induce huge difference in the ETA.

    Of course, in cities or in the main roads where there is a lot of wazer traffic, this is automatically adapted thanks to the users. But in less populated…

  17. Add Slope / Tilt Penalty

    Add a route penalty option for streets with pronounced slopes that can become dangerous (whether due to vehicle capacity or atmospheric conditions). Such an option should have various levels of penalties depending on the tilt angle.

  19. Return to Home in WME Nav Tabs

    This is a small feature to add to the Nav Tabs in the top left of WME, but as I've had my region enlarged as an AM, I find myself further and further away from my main city doing edits and I have to zoom out and drag quite a lot to get back to my city. I would LOVE a simple "Home" icon in the Nav Tabs to zoom me back to a specific spot on the map. Currently my work around is to load my drives and click on a recent drive which brings me close at least.

  20. conditional tolls

    There are some toll segments that go pretty paralell to the public roads, so time savings are more related to traffic (<5 min when comparing vs toll roads).
    Waze always will choose the toll segment but for a regular wazer time savings will not be enough to use toll vs public road.
    A conditional that let waze to avoid tolls when savings are less than X minutes will help wazers pockets.
