  3. 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.

  4. Possibility for editors to create map update requests, for changes that need higher level editors.

    Many times I can see needed changes or map problems that are prohibited for my level to edit or fix. But there is no option to report these issues to the higher levels, inside the map editor.
    Should I have to drive there and create a map issue report?

  6. Height limitation of bridges

    I think WME should have a bridge height segment. Some of the bridges, at least here in Finland, are really low and even a van is in danger of getting stuck on its roof. It would make driving easier.

    With the same effort, it would certainly be great if the roads also got a possible weight restriction segment.

  7. Cambiar icono en modo moto

    In Car mode, you can change the icon to another one. But in MOTORCYCLE mode, this is not possible and a very thin motorcycle (2D) appears that blends in with the road and is difficult to see easily when riding a motorcycle.
    You should be able to change to a more visible one, such as the arrow or triangle that stands out more. This way, you will avoid taking your eyes off the road more than necessary.

  8. edit geometry/allow saves whilst adding closures

    be able to edit geometry of segments that have active closures, as currently to edit geometry (without affecting node id) is to remove closure edit geometry and then re-add closure. as well as that allow the ability to add closures whilst having unsaved edits.

  9. Default expiration date for map comments

    There are a vast number of map comments without an expiration date that are no longer relevant. This causes map editors to open them to read the comments.
    I suggest that when adding a map comment, the default expiration date be one year later, and the user can delete the date to make the comment permanent. This will hopefully minimize the number of "junk comments" in the map.

  10. Hazard addition to go to suggest an edit

    Let all editors add Permanent Hazards but since it is locked by level they can be moved to "Suggest an edit" so spamming with permanent hazards or fake hazards are not added to the map.

  11. 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.

  12. 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…

  13. 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).

  14. Show RPP PUR's on feed list

    There is no privacy issue involved here.

    There's simply a pin in the map, among many others, but I can't find them like any others, just because category is "residential"

    The privacy issues are solved by the already omitted creator/updater of the place. By not showing them, you are simply making it harder for the PUR be moderated, as we have to scan the map or rely on scripts to do that.

    So, plainly: RPP PUR's should be shown in feed list just as any other PUR.

    OBS: Previous discussion took place here: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=211&t=249211&p=1774596#p1774596

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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)

  18. Subway station elevation

    There should be a feature that would enable editors to include the elevation of a subway station as they can do with PLAs.

  19. 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

  20. Please integrate postal codes with actual addresses in Singapore

    I have a hard time syncing my new postal code with my address. The address shows the proper position on the map. But the postal code brings me to a different position. When I highlighted this issue, the Waze map editors said that they are not able to make the change, and that postal codes were out of their domain.

    Postal codes are the main way that people search for addresses. If the postal code points to the wrong area, the app is not accurate. If Waze is serious about using crowd sourced information to improve, why is linking up…
