  1. Alternative house number

    Often the house numbers are not exactly in order. As, for example, there was an update in the street number and some houses remain in the old number. Or even, the same street has the same number in different neighborhoods.
    With this, Waze could allow alternative numbers which are house numbers that are not following the "correct" numerical order. Still, it could allow putting letters in the numbering, like "505 A", "505 B"...

  2. Point per House Number

    Get 1 edit point per HN placed or per 2 HN moved. This brings more drive to do HNs.

  3. I would like to change default settings in map editor - new nodes

    I would like to change default settings in map editor - checking all nodes after drawing few roads takes a lot of time (shift+z, then "Q" and "W", then "ctrl+s" etc.). It would be easier if all new nodes were with "green arrows" (crossroads without any restriction - you can turn anywhere). A lot of new users forget about nodes and that's why routing doesn't work or gives strange results.

  4. Make the "Add house number" mode sticky when adding HN in WME

    When adding house numbers to a street in WME, one has to click on the"Add house numbers" button each and every time for every HN to add. That's just stupid "moving mouse back and forth" and loosing focus.

    Please make that button an "on/off" button, so, when activated, each left click adds a new HN field (if the last field is properly finished).

    That would help and speed up adding HN significantly.

  6. Change Color on Future Closure Arrows to Grey

    If there is a two way segment that has an active closure in one direction and a future closure in the other direction it appears in WME like a two way closure.

    This is because the arrows for current closures and future closures are both solid black.

    I am suggesting that the arrows for future closures be changed from Black to Grey.

    This would give a better indication of what is occurring and what is scheduled.

    Will post pictures later.

    This occurs in both WME production and WME Beta w/o scripts.

    Updated 22:40 pm EST

  10. Enable Australian States and Territories to be selected in Waze Map Editor

    Similar to how the USA can pick states in the editor, would be great to have the option available for Australia too. Random city names are currently showing up all over the country because there are cities with the same name with multiple locations in Australia. Enabling this option would make this go away.

  11. Put 2 fields in editor. 1 for TTS and the other for display.

    This will make the display correct. While also letting the TTS read the words right. There was a time when the editors had to cheat the display so that the TTS would read right. It was hard to comprehend the display.

  12. Show users app language setting in WME with UR's

    When I see a new UR in WME, I have no idea in what language I need to address the person who made it. It could be dutch/french/english.

    It would be easy if this setting would appear somewhere in the UR

  13. Allow language change for international travelers

    Hi! In our office we are big fans of WAZE and find, at least in Los Angeles, that it's superior to Google Maps and other GPS apps. Our issue? We have many frequent international travelers and in particular, when in Israel the app defaults to Hebrew and can't be changed to English. I think it would be advantageous to all if that could be made more flexible.

  14. Add number of lanes to WME

    I don't see where WME knows how many lanes a road has. As a result, Navigation gives impossible directions like "Turn right in 1000 ft" when you've just entered a road from the left and there is heavy traffic. If Navigation could factor lane changes into the route calculations, I think it would be able to give much better directions. Nothing fowls up traffic worse than a car coming to a complete stop to make a lane change because the driver thinks the turn 500 feet ahead is a matter of life and death.

  16. Add "Curbside Pickup" or "Curbside Service" to the services in the more info tab for places

    In this Covid-19 era many businesses are offering Curbside Pickup service to reduce/avoid direct contact between people. I think this came to stay as I have witnessed adding phone line numbers exclusively for customers to call when they are parked in front of the store so a employee can deliver the order to the customer outside the building.

  17. Remove layer sharing in permalinks

    Currently, when making a permalink, you can share your layer settings by checking the "Include layer settings" checkbox. This will add the "s" parameter to the permalink so that anyone who opens it will see the map with your layer settings.
    In my experience this feature is literally never used and is frankly quite annoying. If someone sends you a PL this way, you will lose all your own layer settings and have to re-check all the layers that you had enabled.
    In my opinion, removing this feature would be the most effective solution as it is never used.

  19. Walking trail with one-way direction

    By default, if you draw a simple walking trail, it will have just one-way direction, however you can change it by pressing "R" or enable the option "Draw new roads as two-way" and draw a new one...

    But not every Editor is aware of the hotkeys, as they are only "shortcuts".

    In my opinion, a walking trail should always be by default two-way (for obvious reasons, since people can always walk both ways) or at least exist some visible toggle option on walking trail proprieties to change it with just your mouse.

  20. Cookies of log in

    I have always wondered: I open the WME (both Prod and Beta) every day, so why do I have to log in anew almost every second day? I examined cookies of Waze, and probably found the answer.

    When I open the WME, the site adds/updates the cookie "websession" (separately for beta.waze.com and www.waze.com), which expires exactly in 24 hours. So, if one day I open the WME in the morning, and the next day I open it in the afternoon, the cookie has expired, and I have to log in anew.

    I suggest to increase the expire…
