Placing notes/comments in WME as a place-type object
The concept of inserting notes within WME has come up before in 2014-2015 in a few flavors:
WME Notes as Segment Restrictions
Interactive notes for WME
Proposal: New UR type – Editor Comment
I don't think there has been any action on any of these suggestions, and this is a different sort of implementation which seems like it would be more generalizable.
I posted a suggestion to the Waze suggestion box to have a "notes/comments" functionality which would behave similar to place area/points from the map editor perspective, but
(1) Would not be rendered in the app or in livemap.
(2) Would be on a separate layer which could be turned on or off.
This would allow comments to persist in the map editor either:
- as points similar as the current UR tagging that's being used, including why a road segment might be up-locked, as well as
- in the form of areas which might mark an intersection, temporary contruction speed limits, out-of-date aerial imagery, etc.
Also this would allow comments to be locked/unlocked/deleted, and otherwise managed in a manner similar to current venues/places.
Please take a look here and vote up if you think this would be a good idea!
