  1. UR Menu - tooltip

    The UR menu breaks off URs with a long category. This has the effect that you cannot see in the menu when it was last updated, and you have to open the UR for that. So I suggest to make a tooltip for those URs, or alternatively make it 2 lines instead of one.

  3. Residential - show closest semgent where the drive will lead

    Hello, there,
    in the new editor v. 2.242 there are no possibility to show the residential names. I have to choose each to be able to see their names. And there is no possibility to show the neariest part of segment where the drive will be lead.
    Is it possible to enable the option to "show residential names" just as it is for POIs and parking places?
    Is it possible to enable "show the closest segment where will be driver navigated"?
    It is pretty needed, because to create the residential is very easy, but if there are more streets around,…

  4. Parking spaces available in car parks in real time

    Several cities around the world have a real-time feed of available spaces in their parking lots.

    It would be really relevant to be able to have it in Waze so that we can be guided directly to the city center or bus/tram hub. Currently Waze allows you to get around perfectly, but concretely, once you arrive in town, it does not help you to park, so the purpose is not achieved in a certain way. It’s also a matter of sustainability. Waze should help for less time and gaz wasted.
    Morover many cities with real time feed have digital screen…

  5. Leader board changes

    The leader board ranking should be updated automatically and not the day after.
    The leader board should be split or selectable by points for edits only vs driving.
    This should encourage new editors and let them see that their work reflects in a higher ranking (if they are sensitive for this) which isn't hijacked by people who are only driving.

  6. Please can you introduce sub and sub-sub folders etc. for saved places.

    It would be great to be able to have and categorise sub folders with labels such as restaurants, hospitals, friends, clients etc.. These might be further nested to a higher level by area, county or country for example.
    It is really very cumbersome to scroll through hundreds of saved places to find the one I want. When I travel abroad I have different countries places all mixed together in one long list. With nested sub folders, finding a particular saved place could be done in mere seconds.

  7. Holiday based turn/traffic restrictions on Japan

    Traffic/turn restrictions for holidays have not yet been implemented in Japan.
    Please support Japanese national holidays.

    If Sunday becomes a national holiday, Monday falls under the holiday in lieu, etc. There are detailed rules. The dates that fall under holidays are listed in the following law
    https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/law/323AC1000000178/

    Similar proposals outside of Japan have already been implemented and should be less burdensome.

  8. Inclusão de Semáforos, sem ou radar de velocidade.

    I propose the implementation of marking all traffic lights, even those without speed radar, in the Waze app’s mapping system. This feature aims to enhance the navigation experience, provide greater driver safety, and enable more accurate and efficient routes.

    Including traffic lights on the Waze map would allow:

    1. Greater Accuracy in Route Time Calculation: By accounting for waiting times at traffic lights, Waze’s algorithm could offer more precise route estimates, preventing unexpected delays for users.

    2. Suggestion of Faster and Safer Routes: With the location of traffic lights known, Waze could suggest alternative routes, avoiding intersections that require longer waiting times…

    Map Comments allow for conversation, with comments by users. Can we have the ability to delete our own previous comments?

  12. See Editable Areas and Area Managers when zoomed out

    The layers "Editable Areas" and "Area Managers" are only visible at zoom layers 12 and above.

    It would be helpful to see these layers at larger zoom levels to better understand what areas you can edit, and who the relevant Area Managers are.

  13. Multiple sets of hours

    Add the capability for editors to add multiple sets of hours for an establishment. This feature would be especially beneficial for banks and pharmacies. At banks, ATMs are often open 24/7, while human tellers, consultants, notaries, and other banking personnel are not at banks 24/7. At pharmacies, the convenience store and the pharmacy itself mostly have different hours. Finally, there are some establishments with delivery hours and/or drive-thru hours that differ from the establishment's standard operating hours.

  14. First-Time WME Login Tour / Tutorial

    Create a tour/tutorial screen that pops up when a user logs in to the editor for the first time. The screen would be greyed out except for highlighted areas, where a chat bubble would explain what that button/area in the editor is for. It would also provide the means to have the editor engage the community through the forum or Wazeopedia.

    For example:
    - "This is the layers button. You can turn on extra layers to see roads, places, comments from other editors, etc."
    - "This area contains a feed of map content, your recent drives and editable area, and…

  15. Better history for place update

    Hey,

    in place edit history, it would be nice to have more details on PUR : the only status is accepted or rejected.
    Maybe it is not easy to tell what photo was refused or a refused change name, but it would be nice to know what was the updated fields (was it about adding or removing a photo, rename the venue).

  16. Remove Two-Way Segments

    Two-way segments are very rarely necessary and are very often overused by map editors to oversimplify maps. Even the smallest "two-way roads" have at least one lane dedicated to each of the two directions. Having each segment representing a single roadway will permit maps and navigation that are more intuitive to the users of the app, and perhaps help avoid the tendency of editors to try to combine separate roadways into one segment.

  17. Enable Undo after Save

    It happened to me a couple of times. I deleted and element, clicked Save, and then understood it wasn't the element I meant to delete.

    It would be great to enable undo changes that have been just saved.

  18. Update Request Submission Time

    The submission time listed for URs SHOULD indicate the time the reporter clicks the report button in the app, NOT the time it is submitted/sent. The timestamp of sending is not as important as the timestamp when the button is pressed (i.e. for verifying Time Based TRs)

  20. 100 gas, fuel station price list update suggestions

    Hello dear Waze Team,

    I am contacting you because I’d like to suggest some features to be added. As I am a gasoline car user who always fills her car with 100 octane gas, I’d like to see prices of that as well in the price list at fuel stations. I’d also add a menu for updating prices by seeing the info page of the station.

    Thank you for your consideration.

    All the best,

    Hanna
