  1. Streamlining changes for adding house numbers

    I'd like to suggest two related changes regarding the addition of house numbers. These are small changes, but in UI design, frictions like this can add up when one is performing the same action over and over.

    1. Always keep the text field active when selecting a house number point

    After clicking to add a house number, the text field to enter the number is automatically active and can be typed in (which is great!) But, when clicking and dragging either the house number itself or the entry point, the cursor goes away, and one has to click the number field…

  2. Road Closure without Re-Routing

    When we are doing closures on inter-regional roads, particularly in Canada, there are routes where there are no alternate routes available. Or maybe there is an alternative route, but that alternate route exceeds the likely closure duration or is a day+ detour.

    If the editors, a partner, or even a data feed places a closure on these segments it will either

    a) break routing entirely - it simply cannot find a route
    b) find some route with unverified segments from the basemap import, which is an unmaintained/decommissioned road. (this isn't good experience - other apps like gMaps does this constantly). …

  3. WME Notes List

    Should add a tab in the left side panel with a list of all our Notes and those we have answered so we can quickly find them again on the map.

  4. [REQUEST] Feed Filters

    It would be very nice if we could filter the feed by notification types (more or less like URO+ does, but without having to reload the feed several times to find the ones you selected).

    Options suggested:

    Notifications (checkboxes):
    - PURs (and subtypes);
    - URs (and subtypes);
    - PMs.

    Areas:
    - State XX (particularly useful for SMs and CMs);
    - Areas driven [last XX days];
    - Country (useful for CMs);
    - All editable areas.

    Those above are what I miss the most. But, since we're at it, some extra suggestions would be:

    Listing reason:
    - Reported by you;
    - New…

  5. Change timing of color change for URs in Feed in WME

    Presently, the bubbles in the WME Feed for URs change to Orange around 6 or 7 days, and Red at 10 days, to indicate attention is needed for a stale UR. Most AMs think this timing is too long. Either set the color change to a standard enterprise-wide timing (4-7 seems to be the most popular), or allow editors to set the color changes to personal preference.

  6. Unlimited Sign for Germany

    Hello,

    in Germany, we have no speed limit on many roads. At the moment we do not enter a limit on roads without a speed limit. However, this often leads to confusion, because users do not know if a speed limit was not entered for a segment or if there is no speed limit on this segment.

    It would be great if there was a possibility to enter a "unlimited sign" for Segments without a speed limit!

    For example, you could simply insert a symbol like this "/" into the speed field in WME and in the Waze-App users get…

  8. Give editors a pushbutton to clear the WME search location field

    Please give editors the ability to remove the text that is already entered into the "search location" field. This could be as simple as when clicking to put the cursor in the field, all the text is highlighted so that you can start typing. Another option would be to give an icon that clears the field. Of note, the looking glass icon appears to do nothing, we could replace it with a clear field icon.

  10. Consolidate the two WME suggestion boxes

    Please consolidate the two Uservoice-based WME suggestion boxes. There has been a "Waze Map Editor" subcategory of the "Waze Suggestion Box" for at least a few years, and due to default links and navigation that is still an easier suggestion box to find than this one. Or, is there a reason to have two different suggestion boxes for WME?

  12. Add garden center place category

    Include "Garden center" or "Landscaping" as a place category. Right now the most accurate thing to call places like this is just "Shopping / Services", however almost every individual place in this category can be given a more specific category.

  13. Optimize Road Shield Display on all Live Map Zoom Levels

    Different zoom levels of Livemap appears to display road shields differently some of the "higher" zoom levels shows so many shields that it is distracting and does not look polished. All zoom levels should be optimized to group shields so that the map isn't littered with shields.

    Please see example screenshots

  14. Editor Rank Level is not fair

    Waze's point rewards system for editors is unfair and does not promote the entry of new editors or even the permanence of newcomers.

    From Level 1 to Level 2 - Require 3000 map edits
    From Level 2 to Level 3 - Require 25000 map edits

    It´s not feasible for a normal person using just WME without bath scripts

    this will result in a community that does not renew itself.
    It will drive away new editors and weaken the community

    please review this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. Mark segments as "slip lanes" that delay voice instructions

    At the moment, ramp segments generally delay voice instructions until you have merged or turned onto the segments at the end of the ramp, such as a freeway or highway.

    Australia and some other countries utilise "slip lanes" at some intersections, which is basically a left turn (for countries that drive on the left) that does not use the main intersection.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip_lane

    When a slip lane is mapped on Waze, we usually implement the turn instruction where the driver enters the slip lane, as that is where they need to be told to turn. However, this can mean that Waze…

  16. Provide an ability to fix divided highway and ramp segment direction

    Currently, when applying closures to divided highways and ramps, we will often get "mixed" segment directions (some A --> B and some B --> A) when multiple segments are selected. It becomes very difficult and error prone to apply a closure in this case. It would be much better if all one-way segments in a region flowed the same direction (I suggest A --> B in the direction of one-way travel), so that when we select multiple segments to apply a closure, they are not "mixed direction". This could be implemented with a WME utility, or could also be applied…

  17. A maioria das cidade do Brasil tem diversos QUEBRA-MOLAS que não são padronizados, muito menos sinalizados. Sugiro notificação para eles

    A maioria das cidades do Brasil tem diversos QUEBRA-MOLAS que não são padronizados, muito menos sinalizados. Levando uma infinidade de transtornos aos condutores, seja danificando o veiculo, seja causando até um possível acidente, caso o veiculo venha em velocidade e ao passar por esse mesmo quebra-molas venha perder o controle causando assim um acidente, que pode ser leve ou fatal

    Enter the road type "Under Construction" instead of using other road types to consider segments under construction.
