LOL

shoot me with arrows why don't you

I said "LiveMap"
The live map has never looked this good

I suspect this will eventually translate into the client as well

I would remove my last post but I can't

(My own posts) I can't either but I could yesterday. They must be playing with the settings

I just checked and my android is different again

I don't think we need to be concerned with the aesthetics of the live map or the view from a high zoom level in any platform.

LOL, can you see the irony

as stated above i'm sure the client will eventually sync correctly

I thought I read some where (or maybe i'm making it up) that they have different map tiles at different zoom levels and not all zoom levels get updated at once???

Also a small extension to this would be where a city/town/suburb name conflicts, in which case the UK method should be used?

It doesn't look so good but i'm not sure it really matters

If you really want to edit a map for the aesthetics rather than functionality go to google.com/mapmaker. You'll also find it's more tolerant of spelling mistakes.

google in my opinion (mapmaker) is to little to late. I've got roads in my area (Google maps) that need deleting. For the life of me I couldn't work out how to delete a road, I suspect it not possible.

If all you want is a pretty map use Google or some other platform. Don't try to make Waze something it's not intended to be. The homepage says 'Waze is the world's fastest-growing community-based traffic and navigation app'. The basic principals of Waze are to keep the map as simple as possible to make sure routing works with accurate driving instructions.

I must disagree with this. We want to make Waze better than all the others.

I also disagree that just because its simple doesn't mean it can't look good as well.

The Waze roads in NZ have made massive changes in the last 6 months. Both in looks a functionality.

When I first turned up 3,000 points per week would just about guarantee you first spot. you now need 15,000 Plus.

If we continue on this path we should soon have something as good as wikipeda

e.g. St Heliers Bay Rd, St Heliers, Auckland.
- Primary City name - St Heliers
- Alt City Name - Auckland
Where a long road passes through multiple Suburbs, the name should change accordingly along the length of the road.

this depends on the street type

the above statement is true if its a street

but its a primary or above its the other way round

- Primary City name - Auckland
- Alt City Name - St Heliers

as per

Most of the reasoning has all ready been posted in detail.

summary

-fixes zoom problem (until recently when you zoomed out bulls was more bigger than Wellington)
-makes the map look nice
-and you still have the ability to navigate

At the end of the day because of the design of waze you can do what you want.

I going to suggest that change is already happening in this direction.

Are you wanting the suburb names to disappear when only primary streets and above are visible?

yes

that is the whole point

I've been editing rural northland roads for our trial.

In going to suggest that the "city field" should only be used in 50km speed zones e.g. urban areas (including motorways)

e.g.
