Glad to see a Kentucky forum finally

I'm subscribed here, so hopefully anything Kentucky related folks will post here and I'll see it.. Maybe poor WeeeZer can stop having to PM me to alert me to issues in Kentucky I didn't notice ;)

Hello, I'm in northern Tennessee but spend about half my time driving in southern Kentucky so I've been trying to edit around in the south central counties. They are in pretty good shape compared to some rural areas

Awesome, I just got approved as an area manager for the Cumberland Parkway area so I'm looking forward to helping out!

Yeah, I reside in Glasgow, work in Bowling Green, and have family in Somerset so I have become quite accustomed to the long borrring Cumberland parkway. The only changes that I've had to make to the parkway area is just renaming some exits in Columbia/Russel Springs to make them more user friendly.

I haven't driven through Mammoth Cave area with Waze yet, but it would definitely be a good idea, and considering that I'm just about 15 miles away it wouldn't be difficult to check it out some weekend. I'll also do a check over the Cave City/Horse Cave area as well to make sure that it's in good shape.

I took a look at the area, and there seem to be several issues, missing roads, etc... I'm applying for area manager in the park so that I can take care of it. I know that they have been doing some construction over the past couple years so it would probably be worth checking it out to make sure that the satellite images are correct. Is there a way to apply for area manager over a larger area than just a screen size?

If you want a real challenge, count the mistletoe during the summer :)

Cool, I never knew that. It was so much easier this time, thanks! Is there a reason that it still says not to use the live map on the application page?
3) Only permalinks from the editor will be accepted (not from the Livemap)

Well I submitted it already so I guess that we'll just have to wait and find out. Hopefully it works out, because that would be much easier than submitting many small areas.

I had found the wiki page earlier and added myself to the AM section. I'll take a look at it and if I have any other information, I'll update it.

Some words advise. Make sure you have read the wiki, when you have a question try to find it in the wiki, if not sure about something ask in the forum, and you can always PM another AM/CM/RC. I even re-read the wiki to make sure I have finer detail correct. And always be willing and understanding of any critique that is pointed out to you and learn from it...

Another thing to remember is when you do your edits, check everything around the segment, check it again. refresh the map and then verify / check it again...

Cool, Somerset, Columbia, Glasgow and maybe some other small places just along the CP are in decent shape but there's other stuff that can be done for sure. :)

PSA: I drive the CP twice a year, so "my route" is in good shape. Other stuff I didn't work on necessarily, so Somerset to Glasgow up to Horse Cave. :)

You go to Horse Cave? Or Mammoth Cave? Horse Cave (city) should be okay, but makes me wonder.. does Waze do nice things getting to Mammoth Cave? I (or BinaryGuy) should probably eyeball that situation. :) I think it gets 750k visitors a year, worth having solid maps for sure.
