Dear Editors!
It's time for the monthly Editors Community Newsletter!
Thank you for all your contributions and enjoy your reading :)
The Waze Communities Team.
What’s New on WME?
The Description filter is a newly added community suggestion and thanks to it, you can now choose to see only URs that have a description!
On another exciting note, you can now convert a residential place point to a public one, based on the community’s feedback! Read more.
Importing more suggested segments
The last batch of suggested segments is being added to the map! Review them through the Issue Tracker.
Also, following questions around filtering out Unpaved roads, here’s how you can focus on Paved roads:
Open the Issue Tracker and go to Map Suggestions → Status: Open → Surface: Paved → Apply
Thousands of segments are added to the map through the Koi fish project, thanks to your contributions!
Opening hours? Nearby parking? All here!
Looking for more information about your destination? Check out the new and helpful Place Preview screen! To save a few clicks, it will only show up when you drive to a venue! Thanks to everyone who tested it and shared valuable feedback!
Chat on Wazeopedia and more!
You can now carry your conversations between the Waze App, the forum, Waze Discuss AND Wazeopedia! Also, when logged in to your Waze account, you’ll be signed in to Wazeopedia. This was made possible by changing Wazepedia’s web domain.
Meetup Madness
Upcoming Meetups include Locals for Indonesia, and the UK and Ireland, the DACH Regional, and a US Waze Cafe.
We also wanted to shine a spotlight on a recent Meetup in Uzbekistan: for their Waze Cafe, they prepared their own picnic lunches! Reach out to your coordinator to organize your own.
June’s Office Hours - Be the Driver
Sign up for June’s Office Hours: Sunday, Jun 18, 2023 11 AM ET / 3 PM UTC to hear from Sketch; Global Champ, about Editing with Drivers in mind!
Rally de Portugal Support
In the annual Rally de Portugal, our community mapped out spectator zones and applied road closures to help attendees view the Race! Collaborating with a Waze Partner, the Portugal community ensured Waze was the official navigation partner for the race!

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Willian, Portugal’s youngest editor and area manager.
