What is the point editing?

[tt91]

Many assume they can just start editing without reading any documentation. That would be a bad assumption. Do you just rip apart the engine of your car and rebuild it without having any training on how to do so?

Then make it clear. Sorry but I never had to read a single page of documentation to properly use my Android phone. I still believe Waze GUI is very unintuitive.

I will try and read the documentation and see if I understand better how it is supposed to work.

For example I was trying to connect roads: the documentation says "For existing roads, if you move the end of a segment onto an existing segment, a junction is created "

I have two erxisting roads I tried 10 times to move the end node of one road on top of the other road and it won't connect. SOmetimes it tells me "The highlighted segments are not connected by a node. Please connect them to one another and then try again." but I have no clue what to do to effectively connect them.

Another example:

Splitting a segment

There are three options for splitting a segment, or adding a junction to the middle of a segment:

Add a new segment from nowhere to the point of the segment you want to split. A new junction will be added. Delete the new segment just created.
Add a new segment from the spot you want to split to nowhere. A new junction will be added. Delete the new segment just created.
Disconnect one end of the segment. Draw a new segment from the segment end to the node it used to connect to.

Give me a break. Why just not SPLIT instead of creating and then deleting? Three operations to perform a simple thing?

Explain how you would do it quicker?

On the first example: You can not connect the same segments twice - and that is by design. So, if two segments are connected you will not succeed putting one end on the other segment it is already connected to - you always need a third segment.

Go to this spot in the editor and click the "Permalink" at the bottom. Copy and paste it on this thread so someone with more experience can take a look at it.

I have had the editor get funny with me at times. I know all the roads are set right, but still wouldn't let me move it. I hit refresh and then it works.

We all manage without problems. You're just not reading enough. Really, it is all explained in the wiki. If there is something not on there that you think as experienced editors, we've missed, let us know but it sounds like user error to me.

Also could be that the OP is using Firefox to edit. I've had trouble connecting junctions in Firefox. That's why I rarely use it (for editing) anymore.

Ahh I've never come across it as I only use Chrome.

Add a split command. Click anywhere on the road line. Split. Done.
