Creating new areas - Permission level

Hi and welcome!

On first glance it doesn’t look like most of them are quite ready for approval. Have a look at the Australian Place Style Guide which covers our standards for places in Australia. More broadly, Main Page covers our broader mapping standards, expectations and lots of other useful resources on how to edit the map effectively. I’ll approve some of them but it would be good if you could go back and add other details as available.

There’s a lot of residential place points there that don’t need to exist - they are just addresses with no additional information (navigation point, picture etc.). If you wanted to add navigation for individual houses, I’d suggest using House Numbers which are a feature of the road segment rather than a place. (Though in the absence of a mapped house number, Waze will go to the part of the road that is closest to the centroid of the property as indicated by Google Maps which is usually pretty close on normal residential streets; so house numbers can be useful to map but they’re not universally essential.)

Btw you don’t want to map a place and call it “Home”. That sort of thing should be a personal favourite in Waze, not a mapped place.

Most of the Australian editors are more active on our Discord server rather than in the forum - you’ll still get responses here but responses on Discord are usually quicker.

Thanks!

Tim
