Welcome to the dedicated forum of Malta, Gozo and Comino.
This forum is under construction and will develop further when more editors become active in the community. Meanwhile, we have a special channel at Slack for discussions, questions and just to meet other Wazers globally: SlackInvite. Please register and join the channel #Malta.
Welcome all. Come join the effort to make Malta’s map the best map possible.
As a local and a ‘long time’ Waze user I look forward to help out as best as I can
That’s great, you are very welcome!
Hi, I also want to help to improve the Maltese map. I have already made many updates to the road names etc in the 3 Cities area where I live.
welcome reuben80!
Nice to have you around.
Have fun Map Editing!
going to continue contributing to the malta roads .
nice to see this forum.
Please try to make people aware of waze. I’m fed up of people on the radio trying to promote local apps which try to reinvent the wheel, with all respect. I mean, is that actually a paid advert or what? They don’t say that that app is sponsoring the traffic section of the programme.
welcome on board starmanjsa!
Do you want to help us promote Waze in Malta? Please contact me.

As a UK tourist from late March 2017, I have spent a good part of the last couple of months updating the Malta, Gozo and Comino maps. (Not that much changes on Comino!)
My editing rights will expire soon, so I’m wondering where I need to go to apply to become an area manager?
An updated aerial view and / or street view would make it so much easier. Pity the street view is taking a while to go live.
Hi,
Welcome to Malta Jezbod? You received a the PM.
Best,

Seen it and replied!
I have completed the AM request form, I’ll await a decision.
Still waiting!
Hi Malta Community and Country Managers,
I am a Level 2 editor currently working on the map in Ħal Qormi. I’ve noticed that while we use the English UK (including street names) TTS voice, the pronunciation of Maltese street names is often unrecognisable (e.g., “Triq” is not handled correctly, and “Vitorja” sounds distorted).
To avoid “hard-coding” phonetic spellings into individual Turn Instructions (which blocks future system improvements), I would like to propose a Global TTS Override list for Malta. This would allow the server to automatically map Maltese strings to phonetic strings that the English UK engine can pronounce accurately.
Examples of proposed overrides:
[ WRITTEN ] [ Phonetic Spelling ]
Triq il-Vitorja trih il Vitoria

Triq Ġuże Muscat Azzopardi trih giuse mooskaaat azzopparrdi

Triq il-Knisja Arċipretali trih il kkniisja Archiipri tahlee
permalink:- https://waze.com/en-GB/editor?env=row&lat=35.87760&lon=14.47780&zoomLevel=17&segments=185356634
Can we coordinate with a Country Manager or the Waze Localization team to implement a dictionary for the most common Maltese prefixes and town names?
I am happy to help compile the full phonetic list for our community.
Best regards,
PawluMalti
