Can't edit POI's I've created

Post by
Hi there...
http://www.waze.com/cartouche/?zoom=4&l ... FFFFFFTTTT has a POI (Citrus Hills RV Park) that I created a few days ago. I've gone in and tried to edit the shape to fit closer to the property lines and I can do nothing to the object without getting permissions errors.

I've since applied to be the area manager for this zone, but I'd still think I'd have permission to update something I've created... am I missing something?

But I can't figure out how to even select the feature that is currently named "Kelly Pool."

I'm open to anyone's suggestions or assistance.
It's not currently a POI/landmark. It's just on the base map layer as a colored area. You can see this if you select the Landmarks layer. I don't see the colored area appear for a landmark on that body of water. You need to create a new POI and categorize and name it as such.

Those need to be added to the base layer which we do not have access to. I have reported a couple of river peninsulas and islands to alpha and while appreciative, have also said they really don't have time to do it now. I've been waiting for a large one in Portland, OR for a few months now.

I can edit the geometry of the POIs that I created as an area manager (I created my first two today), but I cannot edit the "name" of an entrance of the same POI... I get a "No Permissions" error.

Permalink: http://www.waze.com/cartouche/?zoom=6&l ... FTFFFFTTTT. I'm trying to edit the POI "Confederation Building - East Block", the entry point in the south-western corner (should read "Civil Servant Entrance - Lower Level").

Anyone else having this "Area Manager cannot edit own POI entrance" error?

On a side-note: The POIs don't have to be drawn perfectly and to-scale, do they?

Thanks!

Hi Damian,

Thing is, I *AM* the area manager :)

Well it shows in the Live Map as "Kelly Pool." And I thought that it showed as "Kelly Pool" in the client map also, but currently the client is not showing me any text. I'll leave it alone unless I see text in the client map again.

Hi!

We have some problems with POI editing,

It's a known issue, and we are working to fix it.

In order to change the POI name you can send a private message to the area manager , or become area manager where the POI is.

Regards,
Damian
He already stated he is an area manager

The Waze team needs to fix this problem with high priority. There are lots of landmarks that needs editing. We don't get nice maps before this is solved.

Hey there,
As for now we have a slight problem with POI's, and only Area Mangers has the option to edit them.
