Map Editor version (April 9, 2012) Official Feedback

[james_8970]

The 'areas you can edit' layer is really buggy and a resource hog I find. Different zoom levels display different results. This could be in part due to my abnormally large editable area, but others have reported similar issues in another thread.

Any thought given to awarding more points for creating road segments?

Adding new segments is more work, adding geometry nodes, setting direction, setting turn restrictions, updating country/state/city/street name (if known), and sometimes changing road type, but with this update all of that effort will only be counted once.

Do we really want to promote Googlitus of mapping every parking lot lane, because that's what will happen. The reason you see it in GMaps is because that's how you game the system to advance in editing "rank" there so you don't have to wait 3-6 months for your one dependent edit to get reviewed so you can do your next one.

In my opinion, whatever point system is used, it will be unfair for some editors and prone to be abused by a few. In the long run, users willing to help the community will stay here. Rest assured that it is easy to tell apart 'point hogs' from the helpful ones. But that's enough digression for now.

I'd really hoped the etiles layer would be quicker to load once this came out of beta - sadly it seems not! Painfully slow!

Also very slow for me. For a moment I thought it was going to be impossible to edit tonight. Road images fail to load very often, in an area with just one road! BTW, I am using Chrome + Ubuntu (latest versions).

Early on, this was part of the new editor, with adding a road being an edit, and then fully naming the road being an addition edit. I'm unsure if this is still the case.

Alan,

I was just able to log in w/o any issues. Win 7 64-bit, Chrome used here.

2. Fix order of drives in archive.

Drives incorrectly marked as "Today" or "Yesterday" - could this be fixed as well?

I've possibly caught the last minutes of the old WME's era, sorry. The new one seems to not display an incorrect "Yesterday" at the same drive.

Am I really the only one who cannot access WME at all in Chrome/Win7? This is really odd.

No, me too (if it counts). All black background, one unreadable UR, after zooming-in deep enough the black background disappears, coordinates around 0.0,0.00; one short (ID:152482945) and one 5 000 km long (unselectable) segments nearby (displayed red after long load time), no permalink entry, archive with hundreds of empty pages. That's all on recent Chrome/Win7 x64.

On Mozilla it runs fine.

I was just able to log in w/o any issues. Win 7 64-bit, Chrome used here.

Lucky you!

However, I'm able to use WME correctly on other Win 7 x64 machine with the same Chrome 18.0.1025.151

What about something where if you create a road (i.e. mapping every parking lot lane) and the addition gets deleted by an Area Manger/Level 5+ editor with in X number of days/weeks the points are revoked. I have someone who comes in a few times a month, picks an area of the map and draws in every single driveway & every single row in every single parking lot, doesn't label them (city/name) and then disappears for a while. The one thing that keeps me sane is that they all show up on the map as big red blobs so I know exactly where to go to fix this.

And before you ask, when I'm rolling back those edits I make sure the GPS layer is on, because every time they do this, one or two of the parking lot roads have a significant GPS presence, so I label those and keep them, but the ones with zero GPS points on them get the boot.

It is SLOW SLOW SLOW. Most days I give up after a few minutes.

[Laakkus]

Unusable here too. Slow to the extent. What kind of test policy they follow? Almost all the new processes, versions etc. make things really bad at first and then after a (long) while just somewhat useable. Poor planning there IMO.

The beta testers have been using it for months. I can honestly say the performance problems being seen are not due to the version, but likely something else like database issues, or a bad migration process.

Just found a bug in the new WME...

1) Select a road
2) Create a permalink
3) Open the permalink and the road isn't selected. however it does appear in the URL as "segments="

Win 7 x64, Chrome 18.0.1025.151

This works for me. In Safari. Can't test Chrome as it doesn't load WME at all.
