Bodies of water are 'places' question

Here’s a part of the Waze UK map with a problem with misplaced coastline - making it appear as if you are heading out to sea. It’s in Silloth on Solway in the frozen north a.k.a Cumbria.

Although I’ve driven this road recently and could potentially edit it I can’t see how.

1 - I can’t see any water in the edit mode (but the Solway Firth returns in Live Maps)
2 - Do bodies of water require elevated privileges to edit?

I think this is maintained by Waze centrally now, judging by https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=124948

Has been a bit of a disaster for Australian waze users https://www.waze.com/livemap?lon=151.20818&lat=-33.85943&zoom=16

I have provided Waze the official coastline for Great Britain, and they say they’ve imported it. However, I’m seeing several errors besides this one.

I am chasing them up about it.

They’ve posted the revised coastline after the 2016 tsunami early?

:shock:

Did it include the far away place of Northern Ireland?

The Isle of Wight has a few of these too around Cowes and East Cowes:

I had the same problem while I was on jersey a few months ago:

most of St Helier is under water along with a number of coast roads…

Hi,

Get your car fitted with a snorkel system, just in case… :slight_smile:
Problem solved!
