Philippines Area Manager Application

Philippines Area Manager Application

MABUHAY!


Hello and Welcome Pinoy Wazer,


So, you wish to become an Area Manager for the Philippines? Are you interested in helping map out your area of domicile? Read on wazer...

What is an Area Manager and what does it entail:

An Area Manager is a Waze community member (a user) who wishes to take an active and proactive role in maintaining specific areas of the Waze map. How deeply involved and how much time an Area Manager spends maintaining the Waze map varies greatly. Duties of an Area Manager include, but not necessarily limited to:
  • Seek to continuously improve the maps for navigation, i.e. naming un-named roads and setting turns properly.

    Make changes to the map when road geometry needs to be changed, or roads added or removed from the map.

    Edit road construction areas, especially for closures so that users are not routed into those areas.

    Respond to and act on Update Requests from Waze drivers.

    Maintain speed and red-light cameras, processing reports of devices from Waze drivers.

    Process and resolve Map Errors or Problems as shown on that layer in the Waze Map Editor.

    Act as a mentor to other editors, offering advice in the forums and when you see improper edits on the map.
If you would like to apply to be an Area Manager in the Philippines for your area, kindly complete the following form and your application will be evaluated and processed:

__/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/ __/

NOTE:in order to easily locate & identify your requested area,

in the Area you are interested in managing box,

Hi kazmuth,

I am pressed to apply for area manager position as I do a lot of updating during my many ample hours. I especifically travel to cover Luzon area to widen my editing capabilities. I am very capable of making reliable editing. There are still a lot of areas to be updated Luzon-wide.

I hope my application can be given approval. (application sent)

Regards,

Hello jamtraxx

Welcome to Waze. Being level 3 is not the only way to resolve map issues. I have been editing the Cebu Map since I joined last May and currently I am still Level 2. The trick is to post an unlocking request here: viewforum.php?f=311 togther with a permalink so that Senior editors will either lower the locks for you to edit or resolve it themselves. If you are confuse, just read what others are posting and you will get the zest of it. Also you can join us at the Waze Philippines Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/WazePhilippines where you can also make those request.

...and thus with all your testimonials ;) we again reiterate that an individuals' "growing" experience in wazing (albeit editing or driving) is second to none in learning the wayz of the waze...
(cue background music: The Imperial March - Darth Vader's Theme) :lol:

in close conjunction with the community & senior editors, a junior wazer's learning curb improves dramatically!
reading materials, references & the likes are essential but they can never beat the close contact of the community and its editors working together in maintaining & improving the waze maps. :)

That would be harsher punishment for parole violators, Stan. And world peace! :lol:
and we THANK YOU for your valuable contributions :)
pardon me sir if i had to endorse you to baldugaras & deadlockprocess abruptly as i am continuously barraged by other pressing matters. :oops:
but i am very confident that you are in good hands with our esteemed duo covering Mindanao 8-)

There is a lot to edit and update here but my level is not enough to do it. All of them are locked, only a handful item are allowed. Sigh!
I understand the Waze, this is to avoid vandalism.
worry not sir, your continued enthusiasm with waze will reap its rewards in due time. :)

Happy Wazin & MABUHAY!

Hellooo Bobby!

i believe it's the system generated default of being away (from editing).
we'll take care of it as you are one of the community's pioneers.

welcome back bro! :D

Hello,
I just found out I lost my area manager status and it seems there's a new ruling on this.
I'd like to apply for area manager again starting with Bulacan province and secondly for NCR.
