  1. Inbox indicator should show in the feed, not hide behind the little bell

    Inbox indicator should show in the feed, not hide behind the little bell.

    When sending a forum message to new users they will often not replay because they just DO NOT SEE the notification. The notification was moved from the feed to hide in the menu bar behind a little counter besides a bell icon. It is just not clear enough.

    Please make it so that one cannot mis any inbox messages in WME.

  2. minimize the URs window

    in the URs window we have "x" button but we dont have minimize button "-", Some times it block viewing the Waze provided route & User drive (GPS trace) to study it. So if we have the minimize button who need to minimize it he can.

  3. Flag UR reports

    I would like the feature to be able to flag a UR report. This way, volunteers can reply to a UR normally. If the UR is about something that the volunteer cannot fix, allow them to have an option to flag the report with a "level needed" option, so the volunteer can put in which level volunteer is needed to fix the UR.

    (I am aware that we have the unlock requests forums, but possibly add the flagged reports to the level that the volunteer requested's feed.

  4. level

    There are some roads/ buildings that are not recorded on the map, but all the edits are limited by level, I feel hard to start being a new volunteer, and I feel disappointed the notice shows me I do not meet the required level after much editing.

    Waze is killing my efforts and not welcoming any new volunteers, I decide not to give my hand to this map anymore.

  5. Add new layers for deleted Places and Segments

    Currently it's impossible to restore (or even review) the Places and Segments, which were deleted. There are simply no traces left and objects are lost for good. (with their history and complexity)

    I suggest to add the new WME layers with deleted Segments and Places.
    That would allow the review of what, when (and by whom) were they deleted with a possibility to recover/undelete those objects. (again, incl. all attributes and history).

  7. Swap A-B ends of a segment

    When I select a single segment it shows A at one end and B at the other. Editing the speeds for each direction on that one segment works correctly. Many roads have some segments facing the opposite direction, and when selecting multiple segments this causes a glitch in the speed limit editing - since it's only editing one direction at a time and the software isn't correctly handling the mismatch of directions. It takes a third selection and typing of the new speed to overcome this glitch, which then shows as 3 changes instead of 2.

    The A-B direction is…

  9. Save filters

    The new issue tracker is great, but I think it could be even better if we had the ability to save our own filters, so that I could create and save filters like: "no description", "unreplied", "rerported by me", etc.

    For example, currently, if I want to filter unreplied URs I have to set: status = "open", types = "all types", description = "both", comments = "no comments", and uncheck "has comments".

    It's really hard to always set all these options, and if I could save the filters, I would only have to do it once. Next time I could…

  10. Emergency vehicle specific routing

    Emergency vehicle specific mode. I suggest creating an emergency, or non-emergency mode, which takes into account the physical size and weight of an emergency vehicle along with handling characteristics and a local jurisdicitons guidelines for how emergency vehicles can and should be operated.

    These are then used to feed you directions that are ideal for your emergency vehicle taking into account shortcuts, restricted access routes etc.

  11. Disable double click zoom

    An option to disable this feature, or disable it completely. I've never used the double click to zoom in into something. That's the wheel for, or even the buttons on the side of the editor.
    Many times when the WME becomes unresponsive or laggy it is common that while selecting something the selection is not captured, so one tries again to select what ever it was trying to select, however instead of selecting a magic zoom in comes into play.

  12. When adding a restriction is not possible to add a passed date even it is a reccuring limit

    if the restriction is valid from 1 Aug to 31 Aug and recurring every year I can't enter it after 1 Aug. This should be possible.

  14. Representation of average speed meters in Lithuania

    Average speed meters in Lithuania measure not only the average speed in the specified zone, but also the instantaneous speed at the beginning and end of the section. Therefore, the beginning and end of the average speed measuring section should be marked on the map with speedometer symbols.

  15. Show place sub-categories sorted A to Z

    When a general category is assigned to a new place, its sub-categories are shown in some constant but not obvious order. I suggest sorting the sub-categories in A-Z order (according to the used language).

  19. Enable Voice alert for approaching Speed bumps

    Hello Waze Team,

    It would be so helpful for all Wazers to receive Voice alerts when approaching a speed bump so that we can prepare ourselves to slow down before approaching the speed bumps, as actually speed bumps has been added but it does not appear or notify you via voice alert that we are nearing a speed bump.

    Grateful to look into adding voice alert when approaching speed bumps.

    Thank you,

    Kushal

  20. Remove bots from the last editor's username (updated field)

    Lately, the last editor who edited an object appears to be a bot. There are a few names for bots: "matching feed 1", "waze-maint-bot", "Avsil".
    IMO only human editors should appear as the last editor in the "updated" field. For example, if someone uses a script to filter edits done in the previous month, the filter includes many edits done by a bot, which is not what the user wants to see. The bot's name hides the name of the last human editor.
    It is suggested that bots will not appear in the "updated" field.
