How to become an editor?

Post by moweez
Welcome editor!

The Waze map is maintained by voluntary editors. That way it is and stays free of charge! As we are now starting the Bangladesh editing community, here is some basic information about the Waze Map Editor (WME).

There is one important thing to always keep in mind when you edit the map: Waze is not a topographic map, but a navigation system! Over the years, the community discovered ways to edit the map in a way that maximizes navigation. Waze relies on a map’s display suitable for a small smart-phone screen. It needs a map that accurately instructs where cars can drive, is simple and clear, and uses real time traffic data bound to the parts on the map. Therefore, we follow the three basic principles "Usability, Simplicity, & Retention"; Make it useful, keep it as simple as possible, and do not delete!

To kick-start, the Indian community has a Quick Start Guide that we can use for the time being.
With this guide, you can start improving your home area. You know best how to drive in your area. Questions, unlocks or any other question you can ask in this forum.

Wishing you fun!
