Another issue that doesn't seem to be addressed is that the reported on date of URs is unreliable. I've noticed this again recently as the strong storm came through the area on June 29. After that there were a bunch of URs indicating road closures. Were I wasn't sure whether the road closure was long term or temporary, I would let the UR sit and hope someone who had driven the road would address the UR. If no one did after a week or so I would go back and try to determine the status of the road. When I would pull up the UR again (even if it was orange or red) sometimes the reported on date would be "Today."

Here is one that isn't taking you to some unrelated area, but when it zooms, you really have no idea why it chooses to zoom at this particular location.

As I say not so unusual here and many are worse. I hesitated to post this one because it is actually a relatively minor one in that you can kind of figure out what's going on. Some I just have no idea what the relevance of the area zoomed to is.

It's really annoying when you press an update request on the map for editing, it sometimes takes you a totally different part of the map miles away... it should simply zoom in where the bubble is :roll:

I'm sorry if it's already posted, couldn't find anything like this.

Hi!

I edited some streets on about 2 hours ago. Now I want to continue but I'm not able to change any road within areas I could edit in the past.

Because of this I can't provide a permlink of this roads.
I tried to change roads in Tübingen and Reutlingen (both in Germany).

Regards

Just to be clear, are you on the same server? In other words, you may be on the north-american server, which you probably don't have any permissions on.
I use https://world.waze.com/editor/
This was the right server during the last time.

It seems to work again.

Hi,

the shortcut Shift-A to show the "red arrows" is a really usefull feature.

But in some situations you have to check every road connected to the junction. Here an example:
https://world.waze.com/editor/?zoom=6&l ... s=70117449

In this view you can't see if https://world.waze.com/editor/?zoom=6&l ... s=70116735 has a red arrow at the same junction so you have to check the road, too.

Would it be possible to implement the following feature?

If you press Shift-A the red arrows occur. If you do a mouseover over an red arrow all roads connected with this junction and contain a red arrow at this junction will be "highlighted".

So debugging of wrong turns would be more easier.

I hope I could explain what I mean...

I'd like a route simulator in the editor, like the one present in live map, for test the settings of the editing before the map updates, because some error are evident only after the map update when we do a route simulator in the live maps... will ever be possible?

Totally agree. Has been like this for days now.
