Join Virginia Editors on the Mid-Atlantic Discord

New editor, sent in a form. Interested in the rural areas between Staunton, Waynesboro, Stuarts Draft, Charlottesville and Lynchburg. Lots of interesting map and routing issues here.

Welcome, Glad to have you. When you get a chance check your Waze inbox, sent you a welcome message with some helpful links. V/r subs5

Hello there KirkisOZ and welcome!! Look forward to seeing you soon within the editing community!

hey hey brand new editor here.

Hello LeviathanSerpiente,

Welcome to the VA editing community! Certainly glad to see you made it here! I want to formally invite you to join our Google Hangout of all of the Virginia Editors. Here you can introduce yourself and ask questions as well as request mentoring if you would like to be part of a great editing community. Here is the LINK to join us. I hope to see you there!! :slight_smile:

Hi! I’m a returning editor. (It’s been quite a while since I’ve been active.)

I live in Yorktown, work in McLean, and travel the roads of most of the eastern half of the state by car and motorcycle.

In a previous life I did a lot of GIS and map production work, so it’s fun getting back into tools.

Hey, new editor and new Waze user here! Just came across this thread. I live in the Hampton Roads area. I like the idea of being able to make a contribution to the app that I use to get around. Looking forward to getting more involved.

Hello BlackAsh13!!!

     Thanks for reaching out to us here!!! We are really excited to have you become a part of our wonderful editing community. Please fill out this form at this [url=https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc9Z1yeGdfzrzUHHUM05X7kuqxfWipgNmr8WLFfnn2m4QSgkA/viewform]Link[/url] which is requesting an invite to our Discord Chatting program that all of us use to communicate with one another as a community! Once you have completed it please let me know and I will send you an invite. Looking forward to seeing you aboard with us!

So I submitted the form on myself but wanted to say hi! I live in NOVA and travel constantly throughout the Shenandoah Valley down to Roanoke. I am more than happy to drive by an area if needed to put eyes on any issue. Any hints and help is greatly appreciated. For instance in the Bryce Resort area of Basye the private roads are all supposed to be 25MPH.

Also if I see what I think is a bug, is that discussed here? Or is there a separate channel?

HI there! And you are welcome to our community! I’ll follow up with you in PM

New Editor in Hampton Roads VA. I really want to work on fixing up a lot of the stuff on the bases around here (am active duty navy). I can contribute working-hours time to doing anything on Naval Station Norfolk, as I get a large chunk of working-hours out of the office with the caveat that I must stay on/near base. Would love someone to help me learn the curves

Team,

I am new to editing on the Waze platform in VIrginia Beach, but not to map editing in general, having 12+ years on other platforms. Honestly, I am a bit frustrated as I have attempted several pretty basic edits and am getting messages for ā€œYou do not have permission to make some of the changes.ā€ Things such as adding my local park, new road, houses, etc… IMHO, these are pretty basic and should be allowed, but then again, I added a details for a good portion of a couple rural West Virginia counties to Google Maps when working the 2010 census, so my perception may be skewed.

How do I go about garnering the requisite privileges to make such edits? I really want Waze to be my primary navigation product, as I am sure many of you do as well, but if I have to search a place in another mapping product and copy the address to Waze because the places don’t exist in Waze, that makes it less viable. Any help is appreciated. Glad to help make my little corner of the map usable!

Hi, I sent you a PM explaining some thing for basic editors and an invite to the Mid-Atlantic Region’s Discord channel.

Very easy to ask for unlocks in Discord. You also need to have it in the system by driving in the area within the last 90 days (and Waze registered it to your account.

Welcome SWO_it,

As subs5 stated, please join us on Discord. We are happy to help.
I am local to Virginia Beach as well, so if there are a lot of missing information, please bring it to my attention as we consider Hampton Roads to be pretty mature in Waze.

Thanks

Hello - new editor here - how may a voice spoken name be corrected? current error: ā€œFort Belvoirā€ (road signs and the area) is spoken as ā€œFort Beaverā€ - the letter ā€œLā€ must have been left out of the name used on the voice app/file. Thank you - Jim :slight_smile:

What voice are you using? It has worked properly for years with Jane and her predecessor.

Hi just submitted form and Just wanted to stop by and say Hi. Pretty active in Richmond and south of Richmond area. Any hints and help is greatly appreciated.
