Seems like I am the only one using this forum at least. I can see you driving around and I sometimes get messages and reports from you but please also join this forum so we can help each other.

I guess that is a fact. It is just that it is impossible for me to handle it all by myself and people are just adding crap into the map so I am constantly in a backlog trying to sort things up.
It would be easier to have a few more guys (or girls) and get some help.

The functionality in your Android is probably much better than my BB. I am sure you will be able to help out and if you can get more friends starting using it we will have much better chance to improve the maps.

Absolutely. Sorry for the late reply but I have been doing this alone for quite a while :-(

Go to your dashboard and zoom in for an area that you want to be responsible for. Click the button Permalink in the bottom right.
Copy that address from the addressfield in your browser and send a request to alpha@waze.com and tell them that you want to be area manager for that area.
When this is done you will have full control over your area and can edit as much as you want.

You haven't really grasped one of the major things with waze. If a road is following a temporary route it should be added, and then when the route is finalised it can be corrected. This isn't a map which only gets updated once a year (if you're lucky), it gets updated weekly or better (or it's meant to be).

However the drawback is that people can delete huge chunks either accidentally or deliberately. You could try locking the major routes (as much as I hate locked segments it is sometimes necessary)

Are you sure that you are working on the right server? (world.waze.com)

(edit)
Oops, did not read your 1st post. Be assured you are not the 1st to see such things; soon we will have a new permission-system that could make such errors very hard to happen.

Check http://status.waze.com for info on the status of the servers. There is an infrastructure change going on.

Hi Everybody,
i'm very upset of those new guys just coming in and playing around the map and misplacing things
or trying to get points just by editing the map!
I have been working on Dubai map since almost 2 years, some areas are left as it's cause it's a temporary road the final path is not yet finished!
i've been working on the editor cartouche before the latest editor came out, which is more fun and easy to work with, but i'm frustrated cause many out there just don't know the logic that waze works and just wants to help, before i started editing i was in contact with the waze team asking help watching videos on how to, took me around 2 months to get things right on cartouche. What we need here is to organize our house.
I would appreciate if people stop tampering with the map and leave it to people more experienced,
If you have an issue just mark it and let the area manager take care of it, of no area manager is there I can assist in doing that.

Thanks :geek:
