Draft PA Elevations page

Post by RussPA
I've consolidated the Australian Seagull edits page down to what I think are the most important items for the upcoming PA map raid, trying to keep it short and to the point so it doesn't bore people.

Let me know what you think: https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/User:RussPA/Elevations

This has several mistakes or suggestions that go against Waze directions.
If it is underground, it’s a tunnel (level lower than 0)
Check the tunnel checkbox and set the level to 0.
Roads that have poor or no GPS reception should have the tunnel checkbox set. The road segment must begin at least 50 feet before GPS signal is lost, and continue at least 50 feet after GPS signal is recovered.
Do not use the tunnel checkbox to make roads with poor GPS. Only use for genuine tunnels.

Yes, Waze doesn't want us to use negative elevations anymore. But there is still disagreement among the champs that this is the best course of action, and we are actively trying to get them to change back to our old understanding. So I guess the best course is to soft pedal it. Maybe something like "don't change existing elevations, but on all new effort, lowest elevation road is put at ground."

Updated, see if this is what you were thinking.

I think we should add how to/where to break segments. I typically use the bridge abutments that are usually visible in satellite view. In situations where there's a couple overpasses consecutively, I'll make one longer elevated segment instead of multiple smaller ones if it makes sense.

This could be a simple screen shot of a completed elevation change to show the placement of break points.
