Matarangi not appearing correctly on Andriod app

Post by Elwoodblues61
The streets of Matarangi were added sometime ago but these edits do appear on the live map on the http://www.waze.com but they do not appear on the Andriod App.

If I search the Matarangi addresses using the Android App it does navigate to the correct location. But the map on the App doesn't display the streets as they appear on the editor or WWW live map.


Is this one for WAZE investigation?

Would I have received the points for these edits??

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the pointers. Unfortunately my drive there has now expired so I can't fix those errors in that area of the map. You are welcome to make those corrections.

But what concerned me yesterday was that my Android app wasn't showing the updates I did over 6 weeks ago.

What I only just discovered now is that selecting Settings->advanced->Data transfer->refresh map of my area does a map refresh and now my App does show the correct Matarangi street map.

I assumed the App would always show the latest map, not edits that are over 6 week old.

Should I need to do this refresh on the Andriod App?
How often should we need to run it?

i understand that caching the map would help App performance but i also would expect the cache would be periodically updated automatically.

refreshing the app is a problem I discovered many months/years ago.

From my understanding its works just fine if you if your drive the area

I've fixed much of the area in that coast line

hi elwoodblues.

I've checked with the current WME map (not in edit mode) and the roads show correctly.
I have noticed there are 5 incorrect turns and 3 incomplete round-a-bouts in Matarangi.

The incorrect turns can be found by pressing SHIFT+Z, and the round-a-bouts need to have City / Street names set to 'none' for them to show on the map, or it will not route correctly. If you could fix those up, it would be great.

And yes, you would have received the points for the edits. :)

Cheers
Pete

I've hunted through the wiki and it's one of those grey areas where it's not really covered.
https://www.waze.com/wiki/Timeline_of_updating_process

In theory once tiles have been updated in an area and are not in your phone cache, the latest tiles you want to view would be automatically downloaded to your phone.
Sometimes I find that my local tiles update and sometimes I have to Refresh the map.

BTW, thanks to ispyisail for fixing up the round-a-bouts and junctions. :D
