  1. Help detecting unanswered UR.

    WME does not sufficiently highlight unanswered URs, while editors are expected to handle unanswered URs.
    URs are coloured according to their age and status (open, closed ok, closed nok).

    Opened UR are coloured in yellow, becoming darker , then red, when aging.
    The only way to differentiate unanswered from answered URs is the presence of a "speech ballon".
    I am a Belgian editor, and we, in Belgium, believe we have invented comic strips and speech balloon, so we like speech balloons.
    However, I believe speech balloon are not visible enough, and unanswered URs should have a distinct colour, perhaps blue,…

  2. Input Permalink into WME Search box should take you to location

    You should be able to paste a Permalink into the WME Search box and be taken to the location instead of having to rely on scripts or pasting in your browser bar and reopening the WME page completely.

  3. Livemap option in Uservoice

    When trying to make uservoice suggestions to Waze, there are two options. One is for the app, the other is for WME. Neither of them have Livemap as an option in the pull down menu.

  4. Prevent overlapping restrictions

    Currently you get set overlapping restrictions on segments and turns (e.g. setting all vehicles prohibited Monday-Friday and on Tuesdays) Instead you should receive an error when applying or savings the restriction, similar to closures.

  5. One Speed Camera (or similar) for various segments/roads...

    Speed Cameras...

    Currently, when a speed camera is cataloged on the map, it only serves the way/segment in which one driver/Wazer travels, being placed in the direction of traffic, acknowledging its presence in the app about 500 meters before.

    However, there are access ways to the main road where that camera is located, access ways that are "within" the speed camera's angle of the main road and access ways where the speed camera does not "beep" because it is located in another street/road...

    At this moment, the only way to beep on the 2 lanes (or 3 or 4 lanes/streets/roads…

  7. Insights MTE impact

    I would love to be able to see the influence of an MTE. For example, the number of Wazers that received the push notification and the number of Wazers that received a different route.

  8. Left panel configurability

    Problem for me and apparently for many other people too is that some left panel items I frequently need are on the bottom part and need to scroll to reach those while others I very rarely need are visible all the time. Solution: Make left panel configurable in a way that you could change the order sections appear in it.

    For example I would like to see History, Created by and Last edited by fields higher and would drop height and lock levels to the bottom of the list, it would result in much better usability for me.

  9. Allow roadshields with more than 5 characters

    Hi,
    Would it be possible to increase the number of allowed characters for the roadshields.
    In Luxembourg, for example we have roads like the "CR189A" which sadly doesn't fit into the inbox.

    Best Regards

  10. New category inherent to places

    I would suggest the creation of a specific category for the departure and arrival stations of the cable cars, cable cars, chairlifts and ski lifts etc etc.
    Looking forward to a positive response.

  11. Highlight Lane Guidance Icons on hover

    Currently in Lane Guidance there are the icons up the top showing the composition. It would be great if when hovering over an item it would fade out the icons that wouldn't be shown and highlight the ones that would. You're already highlighting the path on hover so it could be associated in that! I think this would be especially helpful for FL2

  12. Close User reports automatic after seven days with no response

    We suffer from the spread of reports on the map, and unfortunately we have to wait for seven days until they are closed. During this, weak reports may come that were previously, then it becomes difficult to close them. If the feature of closing after 7 days is included (in the event that there is no response from reporters) will be useful new for cleaning up the map from useless reports

  13. Separate Map Editor App

    I am suggesting an app that allows editors on the move to have a way to handle URs and PURs while away from the computer more effectively. This could also allow PLs to be opened and segment(s) involved to be edited easier from the mobile device.

    URs could have notifications and work like a chat room that other editors can join.

    PURs could have notifications with the ability to approve if info can be confirmed while mobile.

    PLs could open with options to change the lock level and see segment info upon scrolling down.

  14. Add Place setting to force arrival on drive side of road

    Please add a normally-off setting in Place entry points to force arrivals to be on the drive-side of the roadway. In urban areas it is common to have drop-off/pick-up or valet areas in front of hotels and similar places which cannot be accessed legally via a U-turn.

  15. Different Street Names for Different Side

    WME should consider allowing editors to add street names and towns that apply along only one side of the street (instead of select one name as an alt name. Along town lines, street names can change from one side to the other. This would also eliminate the need to place residential place points on one side.

  16. giving User’s ability to include images with there reports

    Hi,
    I think it is good to give users the advantage of including images, whether by taking them through the app or fetching them from their gallery, as you know that the images explain a lot without the need for words, which is almost non-existent that the reporter responds after his report.

    thank you!

  18. Unique alerts

    Enable editors (with minimum rank or role) to write unique verbal alerts on the map. Example: when crossing a country border, the app could alert users to get their documents ready. Another possible use is for agricultural and other permanent interior checkpoints.

  19. Phone number extensions

    Enable editors to add extensions to phone numbers by adding a semicolon after the completed phone number. This way, mobile phones will automatically dial the extension for a user.

  20. Making left side panel shorter with little tweak

    I'd suggest to change "Edit house numbers" text to house icon and moving it before "Select entire street" text -> One row shorter side panel. Also, moving "View History" text next to road length field would shorten the panel by yet another row, there's plenty of space for it there. See https://ibb.co/b5gVSmb
