Spotlight Indiana
Hello all, for those who may not know yet I'm the new Indiana State Manager I wanted to launch my first initiative as ISM. For those of us who regularly edit, primarily the majority of us will spend the most of our time editing in urban areas. It's just a Wazical factor of Waze, proportionally/ statistically their are more Wazers in urban areas, therefor increased likely hood to be working more in urban areas verses rural areas. Yes our urban Wazers and issues associated with urban areas are important but they are equally important as our rural wazers, and most of us here when given the opportunity will show some of our rural Wazers some love. When a uninformed Wazer in an urban area gets an error or bad routing in most cases the re-route or address pin is off by not very much. In rural areas these types of issues can lead an uninformed Wazer to be routed several miles away when the error is small and easy to fix.
My initiative that I am launching is "Spotlight Indiana" the main objective of the spotlight is to put small/rural towns and areas more in the Waze spotlight and have a group of editors tackle issues/reports as they come across them, as well as taking proactive actions and adding new things into the local map that aren't list like gas stations, schools, police stations, parks, etc..
My goal is to weekly post a handful of rural towns/areas across the state that could benefit from some time under the spotlight. All Editors / Area Managers with editing capabilities in said areas are more than welcome to join in on the effort when available. Also anyone is welcome to submit areas they would like to see improved to myself for posting. This effort is a localized version of MapRaid in a way and can help those who are wanting to join in on the nationally sponsored Mapraids get the knowledge and experience of what it takes to participate in one. As well as preparing an editor or Area Manager for being able to take on the role as an Area Manager for the first time or increasing your Area Managing scope.
First 5 areas for improvement:
Fowler, Indiana
Tell City, Indiana
Hope, Indiana
Manson / Colfax area, Indiana
Butler, Indiana
Looking forward to working with everyone in these areas!
