I am looking forward to this feature as well. I hope i18n support on devices includes Thai.argus-cronos wrote: It is planned to implement the Alt name feature to the new editor, but it takes time. Another thing is how this will be displayed on the client.
In fact I do.argus-cronos wrote:If you need some help in your aereas just let me know.
Do you mean ปากช่อง นครราชสีมา at 14.65297,101.46645? I see it as several squares instead of Thai characters. Does this only happen to me?argus-cronos wrote: ภาษาไทยจะไมมีปัญหา ดูที่ปากชอง ในแผนที่ waze
Transliterating เทเวศร์ is challenging. I think the closest sound for Sor-Sala (ศ) is 's'. But having 'es' at the end looks very much like a plural form of 'Thew' and Thewes looks very funny. I need to study transliterating rule of the royal institute before making further embarrassment. Maybe I will check with the bank of Thailand staffs which locates nearby to see how it is used by the government.argus-cronos wrote: In my personal understanding i would use Bang Kruai Sai Noi, also i would vote for Thewet
Of course people have problems with translating Thai language to english cause of the different pronunciation, tonerules or silent endings of syllables. So we will allways find differences.
IMHO, province is the closest match to city. There are 76 provinces in Thailand (excluding Bangkok). But there are over 800 Amphoes here which are too many to remember. I will always use province as a city because waze has only one field for such a thing and 76 is just right, in my opinion. Also, If you use Amphoe, you may not realize where it is because there are Amphoe Muang in all provinces (except Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya).argus-cronos wrote:Another thing is in most cases i would not label citynames with Mueang or Amphoe (especially not Amphoe) cause they're not well known for international usage, and most people don't know the meaning of Amphoe, Changwat, Tambon or Mueang and other definitions, which can only be found in Thailand, what is your opinion about this?
Many thanks for that. I will try again. And I will be careful because I don't want to introduce a new problem while trying to solve one.argus-cronos wrote:So there are enough Gps points along Bang kruai. Allways take care of these in Thailand, cause many aerials in waze aren't there where they should be. So before people start adding a bunch of roundabouts cause of u-turns i would split this road too.
Perhaps you know that waze did some infrastructure changes and it maybe that your saving errors will find an end in the next days, also there is a delay in updating the map. So if you have enough permissions in this area it shouldn't be a problem. I've noticed that you are allready at lvl2 and i would be happy to see you as an areamanager over there.
Oh... I don't really use Facebook that much, I guess I missed that!Hello leoviotti good to see somebody is taking care here
The community isn't that small, but most wazers posting on the FB group instead of the forum.
I didn't know they were needed until now. I already checked the Wiki, and will be adding those from now on. Tks!I've noticed your great effort in the area of BKK. Many times there are no sources for naming roads. So to add roads even without a roadname makes sense cause there is no basemap here and another one may know the name and can edit the road again. But don't forget the end-nodes. I've added thousends to your network
Definitely the most important part of the main highways is done. What we need to work on now, and I think it's the "hardest part", are the endless details of a country built with no planning over... at least a few hundred years in the most populated parts. Good thing that I always find news ways when I'm mapping, makes it all worth-while... can't wait to have more people actually using the system (a few thousand in Bangkok, actively using it, at least) so the traffic reports get more accurate and relevant. Longdo and Google Maps still "beat the crap" out of Waze unfortunately. But they are no fun.I agree to your opinion about the service roads, there are so much here. I've added a lot of freeways to the map and somedays i have to go back and add the service roads as well, cause my first thought was to establish a long range routing first.
Ok, I'll try to review once again Sukhumvit urban area, at least until Samut Prakan where it becomes a highway more than a major street, and we go from there. But the BTS really messes it up, shame.There is no problem to lock Sukhumvit, cause automatic changes frome the system still happens. Changes to oneway or other horrible things for instance. This road is a problem cause of the Skytrain and the GPS, but we have to live with that.
Totally agreed. Sometimes we have all the roads there, but I can't see what is what, just a "river of blue or yellow". I made some of them like this myself, in Pattanakarn (all Main Street), back in 2011... but once in a while I go back to those places and review them. I'll use your approach from now on, set the elevated ways as Street, seems more reasonable.Ramkamhaeng elevated road woud be better a normal street type than a ramp, i used to set a few elevated roads in bkk to "street", but some other users set them to ramps or primarys. But i won't lock them to my level cause then they are not accessible anymore to others or you. Especially primary streets clutters the map. So it's better to use a slim roadtype for the client.
I'll start doing that then. I usually avoid locking anything, in hopes local users will get there and add the soi *name* instead than only the *number* (even as alternate name, either in Thai or English), but I'll start locking most sensitive areas. It's "good" not many people undo corrections though (bad actually, I hope there would be more people working on the maps, haha!)Its also better if you lock sensible spots to your AM level, as CM i can override any locks in Thailand and i'm willing to help if there are problems.
So anybody feel free to contact me for unlocks or anything else even in Thai.
We can arrange that, of course. I'm rushing on a few things for the next 2 weeks, but then on, it should be pretty cool for about a month...What about a meeting in Bangkok, i'm in the Area until the middle of january? So we could discuss a few things.
