Updating waze maps

[termin8r]

Ok, so I've become an area manager around my home and have feet on the ground so to speak in regards to knowing the roads around my area. However, when I start to leave my home area I'm
not as familiar with the roads etc. What other maps do you all have open? I see some country managers handling other states and I'm sure some of you have never been to the state your working on, so tell me your secrets that aernt in the wiki. I'd like to excel as an area manager but feel I need more. I apologize in advance for the long winded question/statement.

Since you mention states I'll guess you are in the US. If so, check out this thread: http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=129&t=13695

And please, please, please be sure to read the wiki and understand all the ins and outs of the map editor

I just recently started the map edit craze and I have been primarily sticking to where I live (Huntington, WV) and where I was born and raised. (Pekin, IL). There is so much to do in just those 2 towns alone that I havent even thought about venturing too far outside of those areas.

The work we do out of state is often limited to what is glaringly obvious from looking at aerials. There are some public domain map resources that can be used in some states, which are linked in the Wiki.

Yep mostly just go off the built in aerials. That alone gives us plenty to do.

And I spend a lot of time editing in places that I lived for many years and actually visit fairly frequently. I have no daily commute (I work from home) but I drive between 15k and 20k miles a year. So I see LOTS of places. Even before being a country manager I could edit in 9 or 10 states!

Thanks to all who replied, this app is amazing and I felt the least I could do to return the favor was to help out!! I've already heard from a CT area manager and the MA one. You guys are very helpful and I'm just starting out. Most forums are quite hostile towards noobs, but this is not one of them.

how do you become an area manager???

One of the first steps in becoming an area manager is being proficient and curious enough to find out how to be an area manager without having to ask or be told. I've always felt if you can't figure it out, then map editing probably isn't going to be your forte.

instead of giving me indirect answer why can't you be nice enough to explain?
Is it difficult for you to explain??
