Welcome to editing. Your editing area is linked to where you've driven with the Waze app on and a good cell connection within the last 90 days. Keep that in mind if you visit an area and want to edit there.

If a road is locked above your level you can ask for an unlock. That's best done from discord but there is an unlock forum if you want to go that route. viewforum.php?f=622&sid=97d5e00ca5ca652 ... b02aa8bfb0 Be sure to read the three announcement posts to see how to go about doing it successfully.

Can I ask where you drive most? It will dictate where you can edit.

1) Choose a real username ('usa_*' is blocked from reaching higher ranks)
2) Follow the advice here: http://bit.ly/Rank1SKills
3) Join the regional discord: https://discord.me/wazenwr

In addition to reviewing the rank 1 skills charts (be sure to click on the links to get more information from the Waze Wikipedia), you can check out the Constructive work for new editors for ideas on what you can do.

However, joining the regional Discord chat that helifino206 invited you to will help you a lot. More experienced editors are happy to not only help you navigate the guidance and answer questions, but they can also point out work that you can do in the area you can edit.

I think it also makes it more fun when working together. I've enjoyed editing the map a lot more while participating in the community than I did before I found everyone.
