Color coded junctions and lock symbols have been on the uservoice request list for a long time. Doesn't seem to be a high priority at Waze HQ, but it would sure save a lot of zooms and clicks if it was added.

Can you make the city names float, like the AM names did in the old editor? Sometimes you need to zoom way out just to find the center of the city you are working on. It would make checking my work a lot faster if I could always see what city was shown in the window at any zoom level.

Very unreliable and not helpful when I have 3 or 4 cites on the map at one time. Gotta remember us East coasters, every family farm was a new town . . . :P

I am currently labeling them streets because they are definitely more than "dirt roads/4x4 Trails," but they aren't really streets either. Anybody new to an area would be pretty disappointed to turn onto a "street" and find a miles-long system of gravel roads.
Add a ton of junctions to the road so Waze routes round it ;)

Kidding. Sort of.

Unusable here too. Slow to the extent. What kind of test policy they follow? Almost all the new processes, versions etc. make things really bad at first and then after a (long) while just somewhat useable. Poor planning there IMO.

Sometimes reloading the page displays the edits, others it does not. This issues has been happening for about 3 days. We discussed it in the brazilian forum but someone around here should know about the issue.
"mad edits" - the best typo I've seen for awhile :smile:

Suits the current situations so well... At least I'm mad.

Having been a, 'Wazer', for over a year, recording hundreds of trips and going out of my way to repeatedly cover maps that fail to update, trying to edit many times, I am approaching the conclusion that this community really doesn't care, and maybe I should stop caring too.

Many times, I've driven along an, 'un-Wazed', road on the map, recording as I go, only to find the tracking has failed completely. Dead end streets are the worst. I have deliberatley gone down to the very end of many, 'no-through-roads', to add them to the database, only to see them unravel again as I return back down the street. I've tried switching off Waze at the end of the street, then it loses it altogether.

I have successfully edited the map, (using both the old and the new editors), numerous times, although it only works very slowly, and then only if I save after every individual alteration.

When I get positive feedback via the mechanism seeming to work correctly, I begin to tackle more complex tasks, and end up with errors. They usually make no sense. I have viewed the instructions, many times, and I am definitely not doing it wrong.

This isn't going to encourage users to engage.
If I continue getting illogical errors, then it follows that I'll give up on this tool.

If you don't stabilise the system soon, and improve the user interface, you will succumb to market forces and we will lose the chance to help each other.

I'd like someone to prove me wrong, I don't want to give up, but I'm sick of banging my head against this, 'brick wall'

I have been editing for past few nights with a Win7 machine. Tonight (April 19th) is the first time I have noticed the issues with alignment. It is quite frustrating.



Edit: I too tried re-installing Chrome & so far it has worked :P

Hi wazers,

I can't change the way permissions for any segment since last week. The WME was working very well but from last week I can't change way permissions or edit, delete, I can only create a new road. The mouse icon isn't changing from arrow to hand when I move over the road direction indicators. Is anybody having the same problem?

regards,
