South Central Region Discord Server

We have created a channel on the South Central Region’s discord server just for Mississippi. This is where you can go to interact and chat with fellow editors along with your Area and State Managers. It will give you good insight into the best practices and policies in regard to map editing plus give an easy, convenient way for editors to stay in touch, ask questions (any questions, we all started at Rank #1 at some point), request downlocks or review of your work and get Peer-to-Peer Mentoring.

By clicking the following link to join a Waze editor Discord Server, you are acknowledging that you have read, understood, and agree to the Waze Community Terms of Service in their entirety. Click here to join.

New map editors in Mississippi should:

  1. Join the SCR regional discord server linked above and introduce yourself in the #mississippi channel.
  2. Start out by reading and learning how to use the WME (Waze map editor) by reading the Wazeopedia.
  3. When ready begin checking out your local neighborhood and city/town in WME and making, or suggesting, any needed edits.
  4. Help us make the Mississippi Waze experience the best it can be by alerting higher ranked editors to road closures in your local area. Local knowledge, what we call boots on the ground (BOTG), helps us keep the map accurate.
