    Thank you for submitting this suggestion!


    At the moment, when you hover over a place, it shows its complete address. Is this something that solves the original issue you mentioned?


    If not, we would love to hear from you on how it can be improved.


    Thank you!

    Hi all, 


    Thanks for this suggestion. We currently have other features which can account for this, like Roadshields and the towards option. 


    Editors should continue to avoid creating short segments where they aren't necessary, however this issue will be resolved by other future feature releases. 


    Many thanks, 

    Waze Communities Team

    It does appear that the team missed the suggestion's intent. The suggestion was extremely simple. At present, WME allows any editor, of any experience, for ANY purpose (including as a byproduct of other work or even by accident), to create very short segments with lengths as little as 1 m. Should WME really allow creation of such extremely short segments, when they are said to cause routing problems?

    The suggestion had nothing to do with giving advanced editors better ways of adjusting instructions (e.g. with informational short segments).

    > Maybe also critical map comments shouldn't be able to be hidden via the layers menu?

    That is a GREAT idea! As long as it only applies to comment points, not comment areas, as editors need to be able to hide comment areas in order to work efficiently underneath them.

    I think the real problem is that editors are underusing Map-Comment points. It is not surprising, as MC Points are often hard to notice. I have direct experience with ranking editors who should know better making changes without respecting critical information in adjacent MC Points. I can only assume it is because the Points didn't stand out enough and weren't noticed. So I have been using MC Areas more frequently, though I'd rather use MC Points.

    So perhaps the real solution is to make MC Points more visible? Larger? More colorful? Somehow harder to miss. Then encourage editing communities to rely more heavily on MC Points than MC Areas.

    MC Areas are needed for certain situations, but they are indeed intrusive, and I too find myself forced to switch off the comment layer to really see what is going on under them.

    There is no requirement in WME to provide lane guidance at any given intersection. Adding (or removing) lane guidance is entirely voluntary on the part of the editor, acting under (hopefully) the general guidance of the local editing community. Now, whether some editors or editing communities may have gotten carried away adding lane guidance in situations where it doesn't help or may even detract from the driver's experience -- that is a different question.

  15. Make Map Comments selectable even when behind Area Places

    Admin: This is a response to your request for more details. Yes, it is true that a Map Comment AREA overlapping an Area Place presents a prioritization challenge. Personally I would prioritize the Map Comment, but I accept that others may have different opinions. HOWEVER, a Map Comment POINT overlapping an Area Place presents no such challenge. If the user clicks within a very tight radius of the MC point, WME can be reasonably assured the user wishes to select the point and not the area that happens to overlap it. Hope this helps.

    Note: whatever form the solution to this issue takes, it should not end up inadvertently encouraging editors to turn off their Map Comments layer (for example, to select a Place located behind a Map Comment)! Last thing we want is people turning off the Map Comments layer and forgetting to turn it back on.
