Unknown body of water in App/Livemap but not in WME

I found a body of water that is visible in the app/Livemap but it’s nowhere to be found in WME. It is rather narrow but very long; it goes up and down almost across the entire island of Ireland.

Random point (very visible here): https://www.waze.com/en/live-map/directions?to=ll.54.05307756%2C-6.53198361
The West end of it (very thin): https://www.waze.com/en/live-map/directions?to=ll.54.29111961%2C-7.88674593

Could you take a look into it please?

We have lots of body’s of water like this in the US. These come from a water layer that is not visible in WME and there is nothing we can do to remove them.

We add an unnamed island over the body of water to hide it in the app.

Hiya @jm6087 I’m familiar with the water situation on the NA server, however, this is the first of it’s kind I’ve encountered in ROW.

On the ROW server we see the water venues as part of the Places layer and can make add/delete/amend in WME without issues.

I could say lucky you if you haven’t seen any before, those have been present in ROW also for a very long time. In Finland we have several, for example we placed a PUR for easier following one place where body of water is missing from WME but visible in app/Livemap. It’s now been there for 11 months. And we have reported it and several others to Waze, reason is still to be found.

We have also some places where we’ve had to draw islands to cover extra water areas etc. On the other hand, Finland is known as land of the thousand lakes (actually more than 180 000) so we do have quite a lot of possibilities to have those :smiley:

I think there was also a newer thread but cannot find it now, from here you can still see that those are not so rare.

Hey @Vladyslav-Staff, this is still an unsolved issue - check the links from the original post.

Please “automatically” re-open it :slight_smile:
