Highway outage

Post by hebermc
I recently traveled from Recife to natal (http://g.co/maps/eg682) and natal to Recife, on various occasions I had a 3G connection but did not have the highway and some time later the highway showed up, I could not keep looking at Waze to see if it had a road or not.

Should I just switch on the "Pave Road" feature whenever the road starts disapearing and just leave it on until I am back to "civilization"?

Does Waze record roads when it does not have a data connection?

If you have a data connection intermittently or at least after 15-20 minutes of driving, your route will be available in the map editor. You can click on it and create missing roads from there and then connect it and extend as necessary in the editor directly.

Loss of data on your phone is not a reason to assume the road is not on the map. It probably is, and by using the Pave option you will be polluting the data by adding duplicate roads.Have you checked the livemap to see if the road is actually there?

You cannot pave if you don't have a network connection.

Did you look at the Waze Map Editor to see if the road was mapped?

So we can assume that you also won't confirm the roads in the editor after you pave them?

I am not going to check 300 km of highway to see where there aren't roads :lol:

I'll have a look at them once the editor allows me to, I tried looking but it still has not updated, last route added for me is from 25/april. Seems to take over 10 days to allow me to see roads.
