Dear Wazer
we welcome you to our Sudan forum by entire Waze Team.
I noticed that in this immense country there is much work to do mapping.
I ask every Sudanese Wazer to help us to make our usable navigator.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Hello!

I am an Area Manager for Khartoum. There is much work to be done indeed, so please do not hesitate to ask for help here in the forum.

Hi everyone,

My name is Eslam, and I’m Sudanese. I would like to contribute to map editing in Sudan, but I’m staying in Malaysia now. I want to know if I can still do some work in Sudan? although I droved a few places in Khartoum since I started using Waze in Sudan before I came to Malaysia.

You don’t have to be in the country. You can edit any area that you have editing privileges in (e.g. if the Waze Live map shows you can edit there)

You can check in the “Live Map” under the “Area” tab, in Edit the Map mode.

Hi Eslam,
You are welcome from all Waze Team.
I saw that you are a new wazer, to begin to edit an area of the map you have to start slowly by editing an area you know well you’ve driven using waze app on.
This is the first area that will be granted to begin with.

Once you experience you can request to be assigned a specific area by filling out the form Area Manager.

But before you start you should have a look at this link:
https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Map_Editing_(new_Editor)
which explains in detail everything you need to know before you start.

Thank you for your reply ab212.

I’ve edited few places and I’m still in the level one. Anyway, I can’t edit places that I drove on since I’m in Malaysia now I would like to edit as much as I can in Sudan. Can you help me in this? Can I take some areas and start edit on them? Please advice. I’ll be so appropriated.

Thank you for your reply maxalaa,

I’ve tried but gives me this message “You cannot edit this segment. You may only edit segments in your driving area.” so what should I do :? ? I droved a few in Sudan before I came to Malaysia. Can you help me assign me an area or something so I can help?

Send me anyway a permalink of the area you’ve edited that control your work.

Thank you ab212,

I would like to know who can approve these “U Turn” changes and many other places I made in the below link …
https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=row&lon=32.57652&lat=15.57676&layers=549&zoom=6

U turns and streets (roads, highways, … etc) doesn’t need approval.

For places update, you can just wait for a higher level editor to approve them if they meet the guidelines for approval. Because currently there is no designated forum page for update or unlock requests in Sudan.

Thank you so much maxalaa. Now I got it. :slight_smile:

Hi Rocco,

I’ve tried to submit an application form to be Area manager so I can be able to contribute more. But I got a massage that I need to refer to my local form in order to get a permission from them. Can you help me about it??

TQ for your great help.

Send me in PM, the message you received.

Rocco

Problem solved.
