[Page Update] Live Map

Map Editors Community United States US Wiki Discussion

I would like to propose an addition to the Livemap section of our Wiki. Under the search box section I think we should add that the results from the search come from Google Maps and not from WME. Too many of our new editors can’t figure out why Livemap is right and Waze is wrong or Waze is right and Livemap is wrong. A simple sentence addition would clear things up. https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/USA/Live_Map#Search_box

I put in bold the part I would like to add.

I agree with this

3

Seconded for agreement. Good explanation for clarity on results.

4

I agree as well. This should eliminate some of the ambiguity between Livemap search results -vs- in-app search results.

Thanks and have a great day,

5

I’m in agreement also. It seems that this is scenario with new editors is happening more often. This would definitely help.

6

Agreed. This is the reason I don’t test with LM anymore.

7

I agree. I’m in favor of adding this.

8

Very good point - not only for newer editors, but also for us aged ones as well :slight_smile:

Speak for yourself for aged. I am matured not aged :slight_smile:

Agreed

13

I agree also, it will help eliminate (some) confusion in the future with newer editors.

14

Great addition. I wonder if we should perhaps also add an Mbox warning just below this saying something like “Please note that the Livemap search mechanism is not suitable for testing app search problems.”

15

I don’t know how to do this, but hopefully the wiki masters can figure it out.

Thank you. If it goes to production, hopefully they’ll add the Mbox.

18

This would do that:

{{mbox | type = warning | smalltext = Please note that the Livemap search mechanism is not suitable for testing app search problems. }}

I like this suggested change. Thumbs up from me.

I also support this - from the perspective as a new editor who didn’t know this :wink:
