I think I'm a bit OCD with waze as I know that people will be using the bits that I've done so I don't want any complaints

It's a bit better again today!

We need a system where we can have restore points so that if incorrect map edits are done, they can easily be rolled back to how it was before the edits. I have rebuilt a few of them this time but if it happens again I'm probably not going to bother doing it all over again, it just going to put me off using waze.

It's true. If waze aims to success, the map and driving directions have to be done properly. However, it is drivers driven app and all rely on how many users using it. Recently there are only few wazers and not all of them willing to do map editing. Sometimes I'll quickly added as many road as I can first then add the road names and notes after a day or 2.

thelaben, possible it is me you mentioned someone to add road without notes. Sorry about that but I'll try to adding road, name and note at the same time.

Good idea but it's better to have exception to recently editors with high rank.

Or - the aerial is out of date and something has been built.

Or - the aerial is out of date and something has been demolished. I found an old trailer park that had to go when an airport expanded a few years ago.

Same vandals that put a subdivision out in the middle of the California desert?

This comes down to training. Since cartouche doesn't enforce any, people can do things that are technically not valid.

Some of these need to be handled in cartouche. IE: warn before deleting a roundabout junction
And some of these need to be written and forced to be read before doing work in cartouche.

I agree that we need folks to be better trained before editing the maps. How about a "Sandbox" map that allows folks to edit common problems as training just like some of the courseware that the software vendors provide before you take the test.

I would say after they edit the sandbox map the map is evaluated and then if a passing grade is made then they can edit the live map!

I would hope some of us more experienced editors would be grandfathered through anything anything this!

I agree that the developers wouldn't be the one's reviewing the "sandbox" it would be volunteers that have experience editing the maps. But to show good faith all editors should be put into the sandbox just to get a passing grade.

SInce you know who it is, you can report them to waze?

I meant the original poster.

You can't know who deletes; but you can see who adds.
