Putting the request in the U/U Forum helps keep track of the request and keeps it from getting buried in Slack/GHO threads. It also allows them to be properly marked when done.

Yea, I didn't even see the option in my app and today they are starting to appear everywhere with dates going back a week.

If you use Toolbox it adds links down in the lower right that will generate the forum request for you as either an update or an unlock.

Personally - I say yes.

Apparently they have been able to do so through Android devices for about a week, iOS devices did not get that update.

It is the United States Update and Unlock Request Forum

When you get a Permalink - it first goes to the coordinates, then adjusts the zoom, and then attempts to select the segments at those coordinates within that zoom.

Therefore if you are at zoom of 1, almost no segments are going to be selected. If you are selecting a segment off of the screen, it won't be selected.

The best way for us in California is probably to make use of a Google Spreadsheet, similar to the speed limit google sheet that was set up but rather one for yourself if you can work with a local editor that has the unlock capabilities.

Now, you are in a region that historically has had very little coverage, we are honestly truly grateful to have more editors in the Sacramento editor, because of that, we did not have many AM's in the area.

Sounds good. ... except, where / what is the U/U forum? lol
