  2. Calgary back alleys

    Many houses in Calgary have garages located in the alleys; it would be nice to include back alleys in Waze. I had to revert to using Google Maps for this reason because Waze could only route to my front door instead of my garage, which is located at the back of the house.

  3. Adding a Fire Maltese Cross for fire activity on the roadways. IE. Car Fires, Brush Fire etc.

    As a career firefighter with major highways surrounding our jurisdiction. with the usual bad direction we get, we often open and rely on Waze if and when we get called for a car accident. however, we can use a feature for car fires, car accidents, and brush fires along the highways. etc.

  4. Arrival time for calendar events

    When adding events from my calendar, Waze assumes I want to arrive at the event start time. This is mostly not true; I usually want to arrive 10-15 minutes early, to give me time to park up (and in the case of shifts at work, make a drink before I get started!)

    I would like an option in the app settings to always arrive X minutes before event start time (with a drop-down menu allowing me to choose from eg 5, 10, 15 minutes).

    Alternatively, when confirming the address for a calendar event, an option offering "arrive before event start…

  5. Redraw Place Area

    I feel like it would be a great addition if there was a button to reset a place's drawn area and redraw it. In RI, we draw schools by the shape of the building and with many schools being demolished and completely rebuilt into a different shape, its very tedious and annoying to have to go around and either delete all the points or to go just move each one, one at a time. Same thing goes for parking lots.

    It isn't a huge inconvenience, but it definitely would help a lot!

  9. Include "Electronic Fence" as an option on radars.

    In Brazil, several cities are implementing a security system called "Electronic Fencing", whose objective is to monitor city traffic, in addition to detecting stolen vehicles. However, the community has used "Speed Radar" signage to indicate where the electronic fence cameras are located, confusing many day-to-day users, who think it is a speed camera.

  10. Giving option to chose if place would be visible on map or not

    Please allow to chose whether place will be visible in application or not.

    Currently places larger then 500m2 are automatically visible, but many times it is easier to map with area than with point. Sometimes points are hardly visible due to color, zoom level etc...

    I want to bookmark certain configurations of WME that contain certain layers or UR filter settings. This is not possible at the moment since the state of UR filters or layers aren't saved in the URL.

  15. don't allow dirt roads

    I wish when I select "Don't allow" dirt roads it would navigate the route with the least possible dirt roads. It still routes me over dirt if it's a better route but don't allow to me means don't allow not avoid. I understand if the destination but it should still find the route with least dirt.

  16. Easier closure/construction reporting

    Add option under selection to report a closure on a segment as closed.

    After u-turns and some other turns the arrow doesn't show where the closure is to be able to report it. In order to drive the route to reach the closure is not always feasible as well.

    Right now under the map editor closing a road takes level 3 permissions, but would be helpful if as a level 1 editor that we could atleast select the segment and put notes in on where the closure is and the duration that is expected to then be applied by a…

  17. Adjust Categories to cover Sports Clubs

    Some of the categories don't quite cover what editors might be looking for. For example, Game Club should be a Sports Club, and a Club should be like a nightclub or function room type place. Currently, there is no category that covers a local sports club/function room. they're often a vital community asset and are used for plenty of social functions by non-club members which often leads to "non-locals" having to try locate them
