I moverd to a new development, K Hovinian Four DSeasons Kent Island. It is a large development of 1000 homes and condos. My condo is the first building on a brand new road. The address is 132 Wheelhouse Way, Chester, MD 21619. I think I successfully added the road "Wheelhouse Way’ and the parking for the building. But I am trying to add the actual building on the map and I get a message, “You do not have permission to make some of the changes,” when I try to save it. I know I am a level one editor and may not have permission to add the building. So how do I get it added to the map so my address appears in Waze?

How were you trying to add a building? We can add Offices and address points, Public Gyms. You were able to add the street and address point (Residential Point Place) so the issue may have been something in the attributes of what you were trying to add, perhaps a city name that is not in our database?
For others, here is the permalink https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=38.99846&lon=-76.29224&zoomLevel=20&venues=185926022.1859325756.20193869

I approved your new places for the address (Residential Place Point) and the parking lot (Parking Area Place). Since you are a new Rank 1 editor, those edits created Place Update Requests (PURs). Those are now approved.
The address 132 Wheelhouse Way, Chester, MD has been adjusted in Waze, and the new road Wheelhouse Way should appear in mobile devices within a few days. Please remove any instance of this address from your history and Saved places by the following: https://support.google.com/waze/answer/6262570?hl=en.
Then, perform a new search and resave. If you don’t remove the old results from your navigation or Saved places/Home/Work, then you will continue to be routed to the old coordinates.
Thanks for helping make the Waze map better, and we hope to see you on Discord!
Tom
