Hi,

It has been a while since I have added a place in Waze. I had done it back then when I could do it in the App on the phone; but that looks like it’s no longer possible except for edits.

Therefore I tried to edit it in the Waze Maps Editor, but it’s showing me the message: “You do not have permission to make some of the changes”. What am I supposed to do next in order for the place to be added?

This is the place I am trying to add: [https://goo.gl/maps/s2ionwEBJoF2](https://goo.gl/maps/s2ionwEBJoF2)

I live in the area as well.

Thanks in advance!

Edit:  
I did find this link short after, it still seems like people with higher level need to help out

And also from this link, I have to drive by the place several times before I can add it?

I also tried without adding a Google Link and still didn’t work.

Am I supposed to do an unlock/update request in this forum?

Hello AbcXyzzeta,

I approved your submission for Pokitrition yesterday. While there, I updated, or harmonized, all the relevant data for the Place Point (PP). Upon doing so, I updated the lock level to L3, so that it would not be damaged or deleted by a less experienced editor.

Just so you know, until you are a “trusted editor” any edits to PPs will require review and approval by a senior editor. To expedite the review process, you can make a request in our Google Hangout, GHO. You can join by clicking on this link: [https://hangouts.google.com/group/LHruABn0z7EJe1xm1](https://hangouts.google.com/group/LHruABn0z7EJe1xm1).

While there, feel free to ask questions about editing.

I look forward to chatting with you.
