  1. Apply alternative name to all selected segments of the street

    Today, if an alternative name is only assigned to some segments of a street, and you select also segments of the street without the alternative name, there is no indication of such status and no way to apply the alternative name to all segments. Please add such indication and action.

  3. Move Ferry, Railroad and Runway/Taxiway road types away from road type fast selection buttons

    Those mentioned road types are about as rarely needed as the walking trail so moving those away from the normal road type selection buttons would be reasonable, there's no sense to keep those there. Maybe make submenu of those + Walking trail to that part of Unify Action Area?

    This would have 2 benefits, it saves a little more of that limited space on left panel and also it helps to prevent accidental clicks which change road type and may go unnoticed when editor hits Save.

  4. Allow editing geometry of segments with permanent hazards (PHs)

    Currently, if a segment has a PH, it automatically becomes non-editable by lower level editors, even if they would normally be able to edit a given segment, had there been no PH on that segment. This prevents an editor from continuing, and requires intervention from a senior level editor.

    The only way around it, is to remove the entire segment with a PH and add it again, in order to continue fixing geometries. However, there is a big downside to this approach, that it also removes added HNs.

    One could isolate the PH, by sub-dividing the segment into three segments,…

  5. House Number (HN) Mode recenters map

    When hitting H to enter HN editing mode, the map is recentered and zoomed on the selected segment. There should not be any zoom or centering change if the current zoom level allows for HN editing.

  6. WME Feed customise by country

    WME Default loading is launching with feed showing KoiFish suggestions that are locked for almost all editors.

    Most L1-2 editors cannot add these and cannot hide them either. As a display, it is very confusing for them.

    Without taking away any choices in Feed selection, it would be nice if the WME Default Feed could either be selected by country as defined by coordinators or at least remove KoiFish suggestion as default load for all editors.

  7. Closure layer behaviour on selected segments

    When the closure layer is off and you have a segment with closure selected, the active closure is not showing when you switch on the closure layer. You need to unselect and reselect the segment to be able to see it. It would be nice if that can be resolved.

  8. New WME Layer - Submitted Imagery

    Google-provided aerial imagery is very outdated in places, being at least 6 years old in the area I live. Even in more recent areas, there are new developments and intersections which have been built since. I suggest a way for experienced (lvl 3+?) editors to submit personal drone shots or publicly-available renderings of new developments to be added to a new layer on the map editor. This would make editing updated areas significantly more accurate, and provide a way to confirm the new developments before GPS traces are available. It would also make such imagery accessible to all map editors.

  9. Project Zone for Large/Difficult Projects

    Sometimes when working on large projects, it is difficult to get the timing with tile updates to make a major project (or even smaller projects) go live at the correct time. Often this is done with adding segment restrictions to new segments, waiting for a TU, then applying an RTC and removing the restriction, so that when it goes live, just the RTC has to be removed. However, this usually only works when what is added is totally new and doesn't require reuse or reconfiguring of previous segments. It is also very difficult during reconfigurations when the project all of…

  10. Display far lanes information when viewing previous build

    When viewing previous build (formerly snapshot mode) it's not possible to see what the far lanes information was. Please add this to the data available when viewing the previous build.

  11. Issue tracker, one more filtering option needed

    To be able to follow resolving rates it would be great if you could add one more filter, Solved / Not Identified / Both. Going through those one by one to find out percentage of solved issues is quite a job, this would help a lot.

  12. Last Edit

    Track last edit for self as editor in WME and have a link to go there.

    Sometimes WME gets stuck. Requires hard refresh. But if last edit was important and was not complete, where was it. I was too busy to capture a link.

    Would have to be a 2-phase commit. Capture the location for the editor. then attempt the edit save. Otherwise, If it crashes, the last edit would not get recorded.

    Please have a link to go back to last edit on WME load.

  14. Add "Any date after today" for age of new aerial data requests (Request updated imagery)

    BLUF Recommend adding an option for “Any date after today” Especially for new construction.

    Thank you for adding the Request updated imagery straight from WME to the WME Beta site. It allows one to request imagery that is 1 year, 6 months, 1 month. To improve the process it would be great to add "Any date after today". For construction the new configuration may have occurred within the last month or significant changes were made within the last month (lane guidance painting, etc.

  15. Traffic Event closure selection

    When selecting the closures tab, there should be a hierarchy for the default closures displayed. If there are no verified closures (such as when copying a Traffic Event), the list should switch to the Unverified closures list. If there are no verified or unverified closures, the list should default to the failed closures.

  16. Add an Option to keep or Removed Wazer icon from URs

    With the new Release, we got a new UR icon design that has the Wazer on it, and i have seen many different opinions about it.
    i think it would be great to have an option to decide how you want your URs to look, either have the Wazer on it or without the Wazer on it. as there is a lot of editors that like the new look, but there are also some that would like to have it as before. so this would solve this problem without removing the new look of the URs.

  17. Change the color of point Map Notes

    Point map notes are practically invisible a majority of the time because small white circles easily disappear in aerial imagery. Any bright color other than white would be a better choice for point map notes.

  18. Additional verification options in WME

    I need additional options for verification in WME.
    For example:
    1) Code in SMS message to the registered number
    2) Code in voice call to the registered number
    3) Verification with another device (like Google verification even from a device in offline mode)
    As you know, these options do not reduce the level of security and are not difficult to implement. Any of the additional options would help me a lot. (Yes, it is unusual, but complicated for me via email)

    Thanks in advance

  19. Prevent the creation of place "my home"

    Many drivers create places called "home", "my house" or any similar name. It takes some time to review/reject the PUR, so it would be great to have something to automatically prevent it : a warning to the user ? a filter to automatically reject the creation ?

  20. Show a character counter for entering a name of an event

    Since the name length of a traffic event is technically restricted also the WME limits the name input after the maximum length ist reached
    (https://waze.uservoice.com/forums/59225-map-editor-suggestions/suggestions/41814004-limit-name-input-in-event-mode implemented).

    It would be even more helpful if there would be a char counter that shows the remaining length for the name.

    This requested behavior is already the case for entry boxes of map comments and URs.
