Road generation black list

Post by IvarKa
Hello

In my area I got a few users that must have crappy gps. Their routes are zigzaging the orginal roads and every week a whole lot of junk roads are generated. Isn't it possible to black list such users so their driving do not automatically generate new roads? (By "blacklist" I mean that everything works normally except for that the gps track do not generate new roads)

He contacted me, we apologized to each other and last night spent 4 hours working together on a residential area and showing him some neat Cartouche tricks. He ended showing me some neat detours and shortcuts I wouldn't even dream off! :D
:lol: It's like a Waze fairytale...

Glad you guys were able to resolve everything!

No, this isn't possible (at least from our end).

I don't think they need to be "blacklisted"... sounds to me like they just need to turn off the road recording!

I also do this too, often with "If this continues to be a problem, please email me at" or "there isn't enough information for me to fix this problem, please email me at" but never any responses.. Ah well. I fix what's obvious, but I sometimes get "general error" in the middle of a long stretch of road... Connectivity is right etc.. What can you do. :roll:

Apollux, you need to go and edit the roads to the correct information and then LOCK them. This prevents some levels of editing. It will also help with the zigzag road editing of the other user.

According to the area manager manual, the message should arrive to him as an e-mail from the Waze support team. :ugeek:
I have responded to some of my own update requests, and can confirm the user does in fact get an eMail from the support team with the AM's message included.

You are taking the right approach with this user, and I hope your dialog works out. An AM's best friend is someone who knows how to use Cartouche well--as long as he uses his powers for good rather than for evil... :shock:
