New here? Introduce yourself!

Welcome Robert!
Happy to see you joining up here!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I guess it’s polite to say hello here, too :wink:

I go by gwbasic (my first programming language), have been given an old Android device a friend’s friend no longer needed, and found out that Waze, unlike osmand, performs very well on it, after another friend recommended it to me.

I do have quite some map editing experience in OpenStreetMap over the years, and already found that some does and some explicitly doesn’t transfer over. I find it refreshing to have two different points of view on the same geolocation. I’m also a geocacher and used to fixing bugs in the maps later after I encounter them “in the field”, and very frustrated that Waze’s edit locks apply to the entirety of a segment (so it’s impossible to e.g. fix a typo in a road name when the road is L2 locked).

I speak English, Deutsch, can read Lëtzebuergesch, can somewhat read and write Nederlands (the latter two are self-taught) and vaguely recall Latin.

I’m occasionally in Belgium or Luxembourg for vacations or other trips, as they are closer to home than most of Germany :wink:

Welcome :wink:
Thanks for the info… if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
You’re also very welcome on the Slack platform, which we use for most of the communication in the community of editors…

Thanks.

On the what?

Slack platform… Slack is a kind of chat platform…

Mh never heard of it (and you didn’t link), but I don’t like the web much and use IRC normally. Plus, the only “modern” web browsers I have are only available to me via a remote desktop / VNC, as my main machine is running a niche operating system, so it’d be slow and frustrating to use. But thanks anyway.

Slack is the modern version of IRC… :

Hello,

I am, Phy2, a curious guy who has not a lot of time, but like contributing.

I am currently editing a bit in my neighborhood so as not to make too much drama in case I would forget anything.
https://www.waze.com/livemap?lon=6.2602&lat=49.61482&zoom=17

(please have a look if you see any problem)
I am living there, but I am actually working around the Gasperich area (https://www.waze.com/livemap?lon=6.12627&lat=49.58251&zoom=16) which is having loads of modification these days.

I am of course in the learning curve…
If you want I can try to give a hand when time allows me.

I already noticed some errors in the level 2 roads around me, but I am not sure I am yet competent to ask for an “upgrade” :wink:

Please advise.

Hi Phy2!!

Welcome to Waze.

We would like to invite you to Slack:

We use this platform to help new editors, so we hope to meet you there! :wink:

Hi everybody, :smiley:
I’m Edi, I’m 22 years old and I’ve been using Waze for almost a year.

I live in Luxembourg and I study in Brussels, so I do regular back and forth trips. I also go to the Netherlands (used to go frequently, but I haven’t been there for quite some time).

I started editing a week ago. I’ve been a fan of maps since I was little, so I enjoy making the map more precise as it can be. So far I managed to get through without any major problems.

I speak English, French, Portuguese, German (still have a hang on it) and a little luxembourguish. I can understand Spanish (but I can’t say if I can speak it, fearing to mix it with Portuguese) and Italian ( the same problem as Spanish, only more complex).

I’m looking forward to helping the community in my spare time.

To all of you, have a nice week,

Edi Pires

Welcome!! :smiley:
