Waze forum

Hi All,

As you might know there's an ongoing issue with mis-aligned images in the editor that cause our maps to be in an offset compared to the aerial images in some places.

We're glad to say that together with Google we started fixing the offsets and replacing images where it's possible, following the examples that you sent us using the form.

In order for us to continue to identify these places that are mis-aligned and fix them, we keep collecting examples in the form so please send us the problematic areas:

Note that in some cases the images were aligned with GPS tracks but the roads still don't match and need to be fixed manually.

Thank you for the help!

Not sure if the form on first post is still working. Anyway I just submitted a request to solve a small area with misaligned base map (? or land shape?)

Anyone can take a look and compare with Live Map/App.

Is this process working?

We're still waiting for London to be corrected... :/

Hi,

We have to understand than small offset is normal to happen, we are converting a spherical earth to flat one. Even worst, it is not a perfect sphere.

Of course, in some case could be for misalining semengs. But, also for map use while driving, it will not affected, The app will try to lock you to the route, fixing any small offset. (30 mts is normal to be managed for it)

More importan is for editing the map, is quit difficult edit, modify or adding segment if the exiting ones are moved.

Regards,

Hi Javier,

Did you fill the form with these examples?

Hi,

The Google team is working on bringing new aerials where it's possible and fixing the offsets of existing places, but we don't have any ETA on when certain areas will be fixed.

Thanks

Yes the Google team is still working, when they send me more areas that were fixed I will put them in the sheet.

Hi All,

The Google team has already fixed a certain amount of offset issues.
The fixes that are applied are matching between the aerial imagery and the GPS points up to 10 meters offset, this means the segments might still be misaligned and need a manual fix to move them to the correct place.

I am posting here all the fixed issues, so feel free to request a share to the sheet.

Thanks

Hi all,

We still don't have any update on the progress from the Google team.
As I understand some places were already fixed, I'll try to get more information
but don't worry we're still on it.

Thanks
