Be sure to read the wiki first. https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Waze_Map_Editor/Welcome If you have any questions, PM me.

Spending hours per day editing the maps will get you lots of points (and carpel tunnel, and blurry eyes, and angry family ) Additionally I get my points in batches because I actually do not have a daily commute. You get bonus points for edits, so when I do get in the car, I have bonuses for 1, 2, or even 3 weeks worth of edits waiting out there for me! Every 500 edits gives you a bonus candy. So I tend to either be at the top of the scoreboard for my state or somewhere at the bottom.

I noticed that Even with the truncated name on the scoreboard I knew it was you!

i drive around 1000 miles a week due to my work being a delivery driver.

that's where my points come from

My wife asks: "So, what can you do with Waze points?"
Me: "Nothing, they are just kinda pride points"
W: "You do this for no reason?"
Me: "It's for a reason, like updating TripAdvisor or any other social data app."
W: "So you do this for nothing in return?"
Me: "Nerd points. Like Where's George. I don't get anything of value, just pride in an accomplishment. Nerd Points."
