Piecemeal Area Manager Access Requests

Postby banished » Sun Sep 05, 2010 2:53 pm

So I've adopted a few areas as an area manager, but it is a bit of a piecemeal approach using the SuperPermalink when there's a much larger area of interest. Is there anyway to request Area Manager access for an entire county?

Also, I'm finding that I end up with areas that are not contiguous, but my intent was that they would be.

In my case, I live in a rural area, so a county is not too much to chew.

Though the superpermalink makes things easier for Alpha@waze.com to identify what you want to manage, it is not the absolute way to do it. I'm sure that if you email them that you want to manage the entire county or even larger, they would grant it. All they need is the definition of what it is you wish to manage. In fact, I think there is someone who requested all of Florida since he commutes the state quite frequently, so I'm sure granting a county is going to be no problem.

Good luck :)

I once asked (and got) an extension of my area by taking a screenshot of the live map (as it can zoom out further), and editing a rectangle in it with MSPaint.

I tried requesting AM area extension by latitude and longitude. Got rejected by Alpha. Their reply specifically said not to use the live map either.

Send us a parmalink from the update map screen (and not the livemap tab) of the area you want to add: hit the "super parmalink" button while viewing the update map

Come-on admins, there has to be a better way. Especially since my prior requests got corrupted and resulted in some oddball triangular areas for me.
