  1. Setting Issues Tracker filter as default should also select it

    If a user marks an Issue Tracker as default, obviously he/she means to use it. So, select the marked filter at once, no need to do it as a separate step.

  2. Multi-Select Option for Place Services

    Current Functionality:
    Services for a place are set with a yes/no checkbox. If a place has a service, editors check the box. Otherwise, the service's box is left unchecked.

    Proposed Functionality:
    Services for a place are set with choice chips for Yes, Unknown, and No. Unknown is selected by default. If a place has a service, editors select Yes. If a place doesn't have a service, editors select No. If editors are unsure or otherwise don't check, the default Unknown is left selected.

    Reasoning:
    The current system is somewhat ambiguous for editors. My own interpretation and expectation of the current…

  3. Conduciendo con ruteo, poder cerrar calles laterales, o transversales a la ruta

    Cuando conduces con ruteo, y cruzas una calle cerrada pero que no aparece como cerrada en la pantalla, solo puedes cerrar el segmento siguiente en tu ruta, para poder hacer ese cierre, debes "detener" tu ruteo, ahí empezar el proceso de cierre donde sí te aparece en la pantalla todas las posibilidades y hacer el cierre. Luego hay que volver a solicitar nuevamente ruta a nuestro destino. Si bien como está ahora facilita cerrar lo que tenemos delante de forma muy agil, acceder a esa posibilidad estaría interesante, ayudaría a mucha gente, no solo a los que usan Waze sin…

  4. On WME could there be a way to show UR that we already replied to as a notification in the notifications area on WME.

    So i would suggest receiving notification from existing UR from the WME notification tabs (top right) that we have already replied to once the reporter has acknowledged us editors' response to their report that would link us directly to that report, the current method so far is via email when waze actually notify us or in the app also the app notification only shows when the app is open.

    This would eliminate us having to go into our email every minute as to locate that specific UR as there are usually over 10, 20 UR in one spot that number…

  6. GASOLINERAS GLP y ELECTROLINERAS

    Cada vez se utiliza más el combustible GLP las ELECTROLINERAS en España para que el vehículo tenga la etiqueta ECO. Pero hay muy pocas gasolineras que lo sirvan.
    Conviene que Waze sepa esto de mi vehículo para que me lleve allí.

  9. Turn openings (temporary green arrow)

    I loved "turn closures", but now I see the need to have "turn openings".

    For example, a left turn is usually prohibited (red arrow). However, due to an event occurring on the next block, this left turn is temporarily allowed (green arrow) for a few hours on a specific day.

    This is a common situation and, depending on the location, can save a lot of time by avoiding an unnecessary detour of several kilometers.

  12. Report a People on the Road or Generic Hazzards Icon

    When there are dangerous situations on roads like an accident or car pile up or someone has had a load loose or changing their tyre, these are way more dangerous than the overly used "Car on Shoulder" hazzard, which people put for abandoned cars. We will also need an Abandoned Car hazzard i rekon.

    But people near the road is an actual hazard i want to know about.

  13. Abandoned Car & Trucks on Shoulder Hazards shortcut

    The "Car on Shoulder" is becoming a standard warning for mostly just abandoned cars, the problem with this is there could be a genuine hazzard where there is a car slightly hanging over or someone changing their tire, three car pile ups, etc.

    The problem of the vagueness of "car on shoulder" is being overused. It should stay, but we might need others like "Abandoned Car" and "Truck on Shoulder" for like a tow truck or a semi-truck with a blown out tire or a larger vehicle on or near the road.

  14. When reporting traffic jam other drivers should be able to say "Not There" whenever it clears up

    There are sometimes warnings for a traffic jam with slowness or standstill and the traffic has cleared up, however it seems to stay there on the map for ages.

    This needs to be prompted to the users in the same way. Asking "Still there?"

  15. Change sound for "Car on Shoulder" - This one is overused on Highways

    I'm listening to music travelling down the highway only to be interupted by the Ding sound on the alerts Sound for the notification of "Car on Shoulder" hazard. Which since this one is actually just abandoned cars, this one goes off every 5km or so.

    I need a way to be able to record my own sound for "Car on Shoulder" or some way to remove that Ding sound it makes.

    I really only like to hear the important hazards: Police, Object on Road, Traffic Jam, etc.

  16. Request for Inclusion of the Republic of Kosovo as a Sovereign State on Waze

    Dear Waze Team,

    I am reaching out to formally request that the Republic of Kosovo be recognized as a sovereign state on Waze, just as other independent countries are represented. As you may be aware, Kosovo declared independence in 2008 and has since been recognized by over 127 UN member states, including Israel.

    The exclusion of Kosovo as a separate state on Waze creates challenges for users, particularly in navigation, geolocation accuracy, and real-time traffic updates. This omission does not reflect the political reality and recognition of Kosovo as an independent country by many international institutions and governments.

    We kindly…

  17. Add Digital Wallet/E-Wallet as an option for Services Provided and Parking Lot payment methods

    I think it's high time we add Digital Wallet/E-Wallets as an accepted payment method alongside Credit Cards in Places and also as a Payment Method in Parking Lots. A lot of places now, at least in Malaysia, accepts the use of digital wallet QR codes for payment instead of Credit/Debit cards.

  19. Replying and closing UR should give editors an edit point

    Currently, when you close a User Report (UR), the count of resolved URs increases on the editor profile. However, there is no reward of an edit point.

    Editors spend vast amounts of time looking for, investigating, replying and managing the lifecycle of a UR. I propose that both replies to a UR and closing a UR should each give a single edit point.

    Given that Waze tracks the number of URs resolved, adding points retrospectively would also be appreciated. Though I understand UR replies couldn't be added retrospectively.

    The awarding of these edit points should still be subject to throttling…

  20. I want to put a warning icon like in partnership

    I would like to see the Waze Partnership-specific warning icons, which can currently only be installed on-site, made easier to install. For example, it would be useful to have a system where you can pull over and set it on the navigation screen, or a function where you can set it using the Waze Editor in your browser.
