Get a sneak peek at whats next for Permanent Hazards on our April 7th Office Hours!
If you think you've found a bug on the website which isn't specifically an App or Map Editor problem, or have a request for new or modified feature of the Community, Forums, or Waze website, use this forum.

Would likely require a modification to the TOS/legal/privacy gibberish, but could be possible. Although, a wazer's speed, points and rank aren't currently correct either, so ....

You can post it for the opposite direction, but the feature, generally, just doesn't work when it comes to notifications. Waze knows about it.

Kind of like you have now, but it's so zoomed in and it's hard to zoom out and maintain orientation while driving. It helps me to make decisions earlier whether or not to take certain routes.
Isn't that the entire point of Waze's automated traffic avoidance based on segment traffic based on current conditions and historical data?

Add a Stop already does this, though it seems to concentrate on around where you are now and the destination, and not so much some of the interim locations. That feature just needs some adjusting, but in general it does appear to work.

In landscape mode, this would become problematic. Add in the nav bar and the destination bar and you've got like 10% space left for seeing the actual map.

I personally hate this idea.
Tap and hold with your finger covering any side of 2 or 3 city blocks is about to as effective as trying to shoot a fly at 100m while just loosely aiming down the barrel of the gun, especially since you cannot move the pin that's placed.
Is your finger 2/3 the screen width? :D You can zoom in enough to select a specific point along a standard city block.

Sure, but editing an existing favorite to change pin location or heck, how bout just the name!, would be so much easier.

I guess two threads is better than one? nope. The answer is still the same though.

I've been leaving myself a reminder using voice commands (Siri on ios ) which I then use to later add a map problem from livemap. Then I or other editor can solve it.
