Level2 Unlock: Massachusetts - Warren

Post by Rather_B_Flying
My Level: 1
Looking to:
Correctly locate the entrance to our business and Identify it as "Laurel Ridge Bed and Breakfast (Sign)"
Correct spelling of "Laural" to "Laurel"
Insert the Street Number "648" into the address of the sign.
If not already done, add a junction at the intersection of Serenity Lane and Southbridge Road.
---and---
Correctly locate the actual Laurel Ridge Bed and Breakfast (facility) at the end of Serenity Lane and assign it street number "1".

Getting these updates on the map will really help our guests find our place on the first try. :-)

Thanks so much for your help!

I added website, etc. to the B&B location, and deleted the "sign" location. I'm getting this message: "THESE REQUESTS CAN ONLY BE APPROVED BY AN EDITOR WITH LEVEL 2 OR HIGHER"

Also, reading about junction boxes and the intersection of Serenity and Southbridge is simple, and not what junction boxes are intended for? Will waze understand that this is a valid place to turn on and off of Southbridge?

Thanks again!

Done. You rock. :-) The house numbers near me are off by about a 1/4 mile. I would like to clean those up this evening. Most appreciated!

The update request on both places has been approved, you can see if it all looks correct now. We don't add place pins for signs, so if you remove that one, people who search for that location will be directed to the place pin of the actual facility. You can add phone number, website, and whatever else to the facility place.

Southbridge Road has been downlocked so you can make that final connection.

I've approved both place changes.

Junction Boxes are a tool to solve some problems with big intersections. All you need to do is connect that road you added to Southbridge. If you click and drag the end of that new road until it "snaps" onto Southbridge, you will see two red arrows appear (red means the turn is not allowed). That tells you it's connected. Then just click the arrows to turn them green (meaning that turn is allowed) then savev and you are done. I can do it for you if you'd rather not mess with it and don't really plan to edit much more than this.

I'll leave that section of Southbridge unlocked if you want to adjust the house numbers. If you would like to keep editing, I would suggest you get into the Discord channel for your area. It's the New England Region, and you can chat with other local editors and ask any questions.
