Loss of Edits caused by INT Rollback?

Hi!

We just found out, that we have in Austria and Germany a loss of Edits. The last Edits (from Community not only me) was found from June 5th. All other changes in Editor seem to be lost.

Is any other country facing the same problem? Is this known and will it be reverted or do we have to edit again?

I think this is caused by INT Rollback: http://status.waze.com/2013/06/10/intl-server-reverting-tiles-back-to-june-2-2013-0941-utc/

Thanks, Stefan

Hi,
the same here (Czech Republic, countrywide). Much of (last week’s) edits seem to be lost. It seems as a partial rollback. Somwhere it made the map inconsistent (eg. segments created last week and mofied yesterady have survived, making the map inconsistent).

That’s something I also want to know…

I spend the whole weekend editing minor highways, fixing great misalignments and renaming those roads… today, all work is gone, but the message in STATUS page says it should be fixed soon…

So, is my work safe? or should I do it again?

Fred.

I hope, they will. Otherwise plenty of (my) time is gone…
I’m curious about the way of handling the changes made on the reverted map…

A load of edits I made to the Blackwall Tunnel in London on June 5th have been lost in the editor too.

We’ve lost a whole load of edits around my local area too. This also seems to have caused some editing problems when trying to re-make changes that have been lost, possibly because the editor thinks that the segments are still as they were before the rollback. For instance: I changed a road from Street to Primary Street before the rollback and now changes to the same road won’t stick after saving. Some roads have also become ghosts.

We should probably hold off editing for a while as they may be looking to roll it forward again?

Your work is usually safe, do not try to re-edit the same areas or it ends up in ghosts or saving errors and wait until support solves the problem. Check the status page for announcements.

hello guys, similar issue occurred on February, documented here: http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=41336&p=374514#p374514

on those days, no edits were lost and all came back up within several days.
in the meantime it is not possible to make changes to segments having those “sync errors”

PS the status page info regarding reverting map tiles concerns building client map tiles only and not by any meaning map of WME

Hi!

A few minutes ago we got the following replay from WAZE regarding this Problem:

“No Edits are lost. But there might be some which are not displayed (this will all be fixed tomorrow morning when we release the new set of ROW tiles).”

So tomorrow all should hopfully be fixed :stuck_out_tongue:

Cheers Stefan

Just wonder when is the “waze” tomorrow… time estimation exact as usual.

Me too :frowning: … There is a WAZE Time and the official Time :wink:

Indeed! I don’t think they appreciate how incompetent it makes them look! But maybe Google will shake them up a bit now…

Here in South Africa I have noticed that my recent edits (just before the revert) are showing up, but so are the previous road segments from before I edited. When I try edit them I get

Yes, I have tried refreshing :wink:

Here’s a permalink to an example:

Edit: If you pan to the left a short way you come across a small town called Stanford. To the south of De Bruyn St is an unmapped area, which was recently fully mapped by myself from scratch. I really hope the edits will be returning. But I won’t hold my breath because waze’s time estimation is apparently worse than African time. (not a racist remark - a reference to the fact that in Africa things tend to happen whenever…)

I noticed the Waze client maps had updated this morning so checked the editor & all seems to be resolved. Edit away!

Edit: Seems like there’s still some edits missing; but re-editing them doesn’t create ghosts so we might just have to redo them.

Mine are back aswell.

I have hundreds of edits still missing as well. Hours of work from the 8th and 9th June. I won’t be very happy if these are lost forever, it’s enough work as it is trying to get the maps up to date without having to lose work.

Hello,
last week at lot of my recent edits have been vanished in editor :cry:
Fortunately almost all reappeared in Today’s map update on device (and editor). :smiley:
Seams to have just some discrepancies (regarding my drives, or edit permissions),
but just checking back, quite better, ok, working now.

My edits appear to have returned.

It’s possible that edits made around the 10th might be held till the next tile update like these one were.

I hope so, some of mine have returned, but still missing a few thousand or so.
