Glad you liked Pakistan....we rarely hear that from foreign nationals. :D

I'm following your lead and updating main streets in Karachi as my editable area increases. For helping out in mapping other cities, I believe my access needs to be upgraded to be able to have countrywide editing capability without having driven there with Waze app running on my mobile.

For now, I would like to wait till my edits for Karachi are populated on Live Map (and onwards to my mobile app) so that I can test out the navigation / routing. I think some fine tuning edits would be required to be able to have Waze correctly route and reads out navigation prompts.

Once I have gone through this step and am comfortable about my understanding of Waze, I would request access upgrade and help you out with other major cities.

Thanks for your encouragement.

Regards/Mazhar

Have a look here:
https://world.waze.com/editor/?zoom=6&l ... =177195244

The Minor highway near the top of the screen is locked by you (ID: 177195244 & 176866006).
Please name the Minor Highway " Jahangir Sethna Road " and also connect it to the road segment next to it.

Thanks/Mazhar

Hi Rocco

See if you can unlock the minor highway here as well (ID: 165699266 & ID: 165699475). These are locked by someone else (User ID 13461656). I can't connect ramps to it due to being locked.

By capital you mean Islamabad? Or were you referring to Karachi?
I'm still editing areas open to me for editing...a lot of Karachi still left to be mapped.

Thanks. I love the Bowtie intersection construct. It's perfect for the traffic flow we have here.

For knowing names of major streets in Karachi & other cities in Pakistan, you can refer to this website as reference.
http://maps.naqsha.net

Edit: Here is a google spreadsheet that I have started using to log my edits. You can refer to this and PM me your email to that I can give you editing rights. This way, you can enter the permalink in the sheet and I will update you on the road/street names there.

Roco

This road is outside my editable range. Please name it "M5-N5 Link Road" and mark it as Toll Road.

Ok, I corrected as I have shown you, but the correct name is M-9 N5 Link Road not M5-N5 Link Road.

Roger that. You are right. I mistyped.

Hi Rocco

This segment is locked by you.
https://world.waze.com/editor/#?zoom=7& ... =176953093

Please edit direction of this segment as "Unknown" and lock it to prevent waze from using this during navigation/routing. This segment of road is permanently closed for traffic.

Happy new year to you too Rocco.

Yes have been busy at work but still editing maps when ever possible. Started working on Islamabad too as some areas there are now open for me after spending few days there around end of December.

Something got mixed up in the permalink. Here it is again.

Segment ID: 176953093

It is adjacent to Marriot Hotel, Karachi.
