Mapping of Pasig City is 95% complete, the other 5% are new streets or streets not on the Pasig, Google, and Openstreet Maps, no streetnames, or unknown turn restrictions and street traffic flow. Moving on to another city to map

gusto ko din ng sticker!

I think you cant make them ramps kasi yung vioce guidance will say ‘Exit right/left’ pag naka encounter ng ramps and/or service roads…

i tried mirroring what is mentioned in the guidelines. Yung name ng roads are based on kung ano yung nakasulat sa sign… let me know what you guys think… also, notice meron angles pag magseparate yung road kasi gusto ko sya magsabi na ‘keep left’ kung mag stay sya sa road and… say ‘exit left’ kung mag exit. it will only say ‘keep left’ kung magbago yung road name nya (and the angle mentioned before) (afaik)…

thanks!

dhageuk · March 14, 2012, 1:48pm

what do you mean? unlocked naman sya…
sorry… d ko maintindihan… hehe…

DokJap091 · March 15, 2012, 11:11pm

^naka-lock yun earlier. someone must have unlocked them na kaya i managed to edit them.
thanks!

thebartender · March 20, 2012, 12:31am

Hope someone can edit it please since it’s locked. Right turn into Commonwealth from Elliptical Road is not allowed so we are re-routed into Teacher’s Village which is truly not needed. Salamat po.

kazmuth · March 20, 2012, 3:24am

Fixed, I locked this road because the turn restrictions were always getting changed. Let’s hope the fix gets included in the next map update.

Hi, SEELE01 here.

May forum pala for PH Wazers.

kazmuth · March 29, 2012, 3:56am

Welcome! keep on wazeing ang improving our maps

iceden · April 18, 2012, 2:55pm

hello fellow wazers! hope to catch you around these days… enjoying each and every driving day with this application! :mrgreen: by the way, may i know how one can be an area manager?

kazmuth · April 19, 2012, 3:24am

hi iceden, here are the steps to apply to be an area manager:

How can I become an Area Manager
To become an Area Manager, use the edit map, position the map and set the zoom level to show the area you want to manage.
First make sure you are in the correct server:

https://www.waze.com/editor (if you are in USA/ CANADA)
https://world.waze.com/editor (Rest of the world)

Click on Permalink (located at the bottom of the screen on the right side)

Then copy the address from the address bar in your browser:
Should look something like this:
https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat=00.000&lon=00.000&layers=BFTFTTTFTTTTFTTFTTTTT

https://world.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat=00.000&lon=00.000&layers=BFTFTTTFTTTTFTTFTTTTT

Email that link to areamanagers@waze.com with your Waze username and your email address and the message subject: Area Manager application request.
There can be more than one Area Manager in the same area. Areas can overlap, or be smaller or larger. And you can be the Area Manager for more than one area.

Also, here are some tips on map editing for the Philippine maps;

Hello fellow wazers, I have a few suggestions or guide as to how we should edit our roads. I’ve noticed that a lot of problems and update requests are due to incomplete or incorrect information on our map. A lot of these issues could be avoided if we follow the “Best Map Editing Practice” guide in the wiki (http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Best_map_editing_practice). Please comment or add other issues you have encountered.

Create road (whether tracing aerial images or gps points)

Set road type. For the road type, use your best judgement as road types have a priority during routing (http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Best_map_editing_practice#Highways_and_Ramps)

Set directionality (two way, one way, dead end) (http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Best_map_editing_practice#Directionality_.26_Locking)

Set the level (ground level = 0, Underpass = -1, Flyover = 1, 2, 3, etc.) (http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Best_map_editing_practice#Overpasses_.26_Underpasses)

Connect or create junctions (attach to existing roads). Delete unnecessary junctions as these add a 5 second penalty due to Waze’s routing algorithm (http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Best_map_editing_practice#Connectivity)

Set turn restrictions (http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Cartouche_-_Update_map#Highlight_Connectivity:)

Name the road, if you don’t know the name, set the city, if you don’t know the city leave it alone. Somebody else could edit it.

When naming streets, omit “City” and “Street”. Eg. “Pasig City” to “Pasig” only and “Dela Rosa Street” to “Dela Rosa” only. Except when they are not “Streets” like “Kamias Road”, “Aurora Boulevard”, “Ayala Avenue”, etc.

Do not split roads unless they are Expressways, Major, and Minor Highways. Even if they are Major or Minor highways, do not split them if they do not have wide median barriers. Split roads complicate routes and are harder to maintain. There is a guideline in wiki about this here http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/Best_map_editing_practice#In_Practice

Some formal guidelines - A road should be split if:
-There is at least 5 meters of non-drivable surface between directions of travel. (This means a median of some type like cement, planter boxes, trees, or just grass.
-GPS tracks show a clearly definable gap/blank area between the color-by-azimuth arrows at the 100m zoom level.
-It is an Interstate Highway (USA) or other Limited Access Highway using the “Freeway” road type.

A road should not be split because:
-There is a curb or non-drivable media less than 5m wide between lanes of travel. This means a turn lane, even a wide one, between directions of travel, does not count because it is drivable.
-There are a lot of roads intersecting which can only turn onto the nearest direction of travel.
Google Maps or other mapping source show it as a split road

guys, natry nyo bang magroute ng malayuan like going south or north? lagi kasi timeout sa akin e…

kazmuth · April 20, 2012, 11:21am

ganun din sa akin, mukhang mabigat yung issue sa international server sabi sa status page http://status.waze.com/

kazmuth · April 26, 2012, 6:24am

Hello fellow wazers, as suggested by iceden, I’ve created an FB group called Philippine Waze Users. You can join the group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/394088980614304/

See you there!

SEELE_01 · April 27, 2012, 12:30am

It’s been silent for days at http://status.waze.com , I’m holding any edits until they’ve resolved the issue.

dhageuk · April 28, 2012, 3:28am

guys,
based on my observation, ramps should only be used in exit/entrance to a hwy (or a toll road). ramps has a lower weight point (same goes with private road or service road) thus… if there are choices between ramps and “normal” roads (or hwy)… it will take the normal road (or hwy)… maybe route around it…

SpeedDzel · April 29, 2012, 11:20am

Good day guys,

it seems the techies are up to their necks sorting out the server issues…
hindi na nag update ang dashboard since the 18th of April.

Drove up north to pagudpud last 20th to the 24th… tsk tsk… still waiting for the updates of my drives.

tried logging in today thru phone app… unsuccessful.
