We would like to get some examples with permalinks in order to be able to check this suggestions.
Any example will be highly appreciated.
Thank you!

Kathryn W, if you are using Waze but not editing the map at all, you can always report a problem two ways. (1) Using the app, you can press the big orange button in the lower right to "send a report" and then select "Map issue". (2) Using a web browser, you can bring up the location of the problem in Waze's "live map" -- https://www.waze.com/livemap/ -- then right-click on the location of the problem and, from the resulting drop-down menu, select "Report a problem".

I support the idea that **speed limits** should be fixed in the units used by the country, regardless of the WME Imperial/metric setting selection. However this forcing should ONLY apply to speed limits.
This is because editors in an Imperial-units country such as the US often wish to view other measurements -- specifically, segment lengths -- in meters. Forcing **speed limits** always to be in the country's system, while allowing other units to express according to the Imperial/metric setting, would help editors in Imperial-units countries a great deal.

Hi, I have no idea if you will read this. I am just a volunteer and have zero connection with Waze staff. I am wondering how you submitted your original suggestion. If you submitted it via the Map Issue feature in the Waze app, then I'm guessing the response you got -- also via the Waze app -- was not from Waze staff at all, but rather from a local volunteer map editor. If this is correct, you can use the app itself to respond, although Waze has made finding the window in which to do less than intuitive. You need to go to the top-level destination-search window, the one with your name at the top, and click on your name. This will bring up a window that includes your "Inbox", where you can find and respond to messages.
If you gave Waze a valid email address, then you would have got notification of the volunteer's response that way also. Waze will discard any reply you make via email, however, within the email would be a link to the Waze Map Editor where you can find the interface volunteer editors use for communication. You can type in a response there too.
Finally, if a volunteer editor (not necessarily the same one who asked you the question) has closed your report, then even if you find the comment in your Waze app's inbox, there will be no way to respond there.
We volunteer map editors are well aware of how frustrating and awkward this communication interface is, but there seems to be very little we can do about it. We feel your pain.

Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Having driven in Anchorage, Alaska I know *exactly* what you mean. They can come into residential neighborhoods and are serious hazards. They can be very slow and hang around the same spot for a long time, so they are more suitable for a warning than, say, a bear. Still, perhaps something more general would be best, like "loose animals on road".

Some of us in the US have suggested that editors with a management role (Area Manager and above) be allowed to send a "blocking PM" -- an emergency Private Message that temporarily suspends an editor until it is read. Not responded to, just read. This would stop unresponsive editors from continuing to damage the map until they were at least aware of attempts to contact them. This would go a LONG way towards protecting the map. We made the suggestion two years ago I think.

Based on your demonstration, it appears that what you're really requesting is that the Live Map web site and the Waze app render consistently with each other? If so I'd agree. When there is a difference in rendering, such as for water vs. land Area Places, I *always* edit for best display on the app (and I would hope all editors would). But it sure would be better this wasn't a question in the first place.
