Dear Admins or Moderators or Experienced Users,
I tried adding a few landmarks to Waze, for example, prominent buildings in the area, etc.
However, when I try to save it always says : An error has occurred.
Is this because the maps are locked to newbie editors? Even for just adding landmarks?
Anyways, I’m very interested in contributing and updating…is there any way how to do so?
Thanks so much!

[color=#BF0000]Hello chirp,
adding Landmarks is not exclusive to any particular editing rank or group. They can only be locked after they have been made.
there seems to be a problem somewhere… :?:

Are you creating a landmark within your editable area?
Editable area meaning areas you’ve travelled to using Waze. You can see this on the WME by enabling editable areas and seeing the highlighted circles. These are the areas you can edit and add landmarks. May I suggest that you put landmarks that you use for easy reference, or those that you think will aid fellow wazers in finding an area and not any and all bldgs. Keep the name as short as possible without abbreviating them that it cannot be understood and not the whole name so as not to overwhelm the map. have fun!
Hello,
I figured out na why I can’t add landmarks.
Apparently, there is a problem if I use Google Chrome web browser! Maybe Chrome is not compatible.
I switched to MS Internet explorer and now I could save landmarks without any problem.
I figured since everyone seemed to not have any problems, it was something on my end.
Thank you!
Hmm… that is odd. I use Google Chrome exclusively for map editing. You could clear your cache and try again. Maybe you were editing while there was a map editor update. There are usually hiccups when an update occurs
Hmm … okay … it works now using Chrome also.
Maybe there was a mapping update nga.
That’s funny kasi I kept trying for two or three days using Chrome before I saw your posts and switched to Internet Explorer.
Thank you!
and if you lose 3g signal for a period, the app should not send the traversed path after recovering the signal?
This happens to me, I traveled a path without 3g signal and that path is locked for editing, it was precisely the part where I lost 3g signal
Unfortunately that is how it works, i’ve had the same experience travelling on SCTEX
There is no way to use the GPS carrier GPX file?
No way to upload GPS waypoints
Anybody knows how to fix it, I mean using GPX file or if there are a new release that include this fix issue?
Thxs.!
Ok, I understand the Waze is more a “social” platform where points are worth more. The editors are also classified in this “social” platform. Unlike OSM.
Seeing this problem again this morning! Tried using Chrome, Firefox and Safari for Mac.
Street editing seems fine for me, though.
