I need to update my driveway for 11944 Simpson Rd Clarksville, MD 21029. Waze is sending deliveries and visitors to neighbors - 2 houses down. We all have very, very long driveways that look like short roads. How can I update?

Hi, WranglerSport14 -- I'm the Area Manager for a region including Myersville and Middletown, but not as far north as Wolfsville. I'd like to encourage you to join the mid-atlantic region Discord channel like others have. Also, if you have any questions about how and why things have been done in the area map, you can DM me in the forum or in Discord. I can help with edits up to L3 (or unlock to a lower level for you to do the edit and then have it reviewed.

Welcome to Waze editing!

Hi WranglerSport14,

Welcome to Waze editing and thanks for volunteering your time to make the maps better! The Waze editor community follows a standard practice for editor "Rank" level as well as persistent access to areas or regions (as opposed to your automatic edit area based on where you drive with the app). However, we would be happy to assist you with whatever updates you would like to make, whether by approving Place updates you would like to make or "down-locking" roads to your editor rank so you can make edits to road segments.

Please check out the Waze wiki, created by the mapping community, as a resource to make quality map edits. Also, the Map editing best practices wiki page has a lot of great info. However, please be sure to read the rest of the wiki.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. We use Discord for chat, which provides real-time assistance and resources for local editors. Please fill out this form to join our Discord server (it's free and very easy to use). Waze champs and other editors use Discord chat to assist each other with a wide range of problems. Even by "listening" in, you can learn a lot. They will be glad to help you too and answer questions about editing.

Hello,

We build homes in National Harbor, MD and have opened a new phase. The old model address is currently listed at Integrity Homes Potomac Overlook 503 Halliard Lane but shows up at an even older model street (Rampart Way). We'd like to update to the new model address (500 Triggerfish Dr. National Harbor, Md 20745) - I have highlighted the street segment where the new address goes (home in front of 'A' is where the new model is).

I would also like to link our Google Business page and our website.

Website: https://www.yourintegrityhomes.com/mary ... -monument/
Google My Business: https://goo.gl/maps/HawtqoNLVhBqC2Lj6

Please let me know if you need more information!

Thanks,
Samantha
Hi Samantha,

Thanks for your message. Volunteer map editors had already set up the connecting roads in this phase (Reef Way, Harbor Port Way, Marina View Way) and added roads and house numbers for Triggerfish Dr and Windboard Way. The model home listing was not previously in Waze, so that pin to Halliard Ln appears to be coming from your old Google Business listing. Google Maps has already been updated to the new location, but Google has not added these new roads yet, so it probably won't route correctly in Google Maps until they do.

In Waze however, 500 Triggerfish Dr, National Harbor MD is routing correctly today, and your new "Integrity Homes at Potomac Overlook" listing will be active in Waze within a day or two. If you had previously used Waze to search for this, please remove any instance of this business listing search from your history and favorites by the following: https://support.google.com/waze/answer/6262570?hl=en.

Then, perform a new search and resave. If you don't remove the old results from your navigation or Favorites/Home/Work, then you will continue to be routed to the old coordinates.

Here is the location for the office of your model home in the Waze Map Editor: https://www.waze.com/en-US/editor?env=u ... 42.7843028

Feel free to send us another note when Halsey Way and Leigh Way are built out. They don't appear to be paved yet. Thanks for your updates and please let us know if we can help further with any Waze listings or addresses.

Thanks,
Tom

Thank you - Waze currently has the location in the wrong place.
 

 
What is your address, including city?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Reason: Race Pace has changed their name some time ago and I would like to update the name, hours, website and other details. Thank you for helping a newbie.

Unlock to level: 1

Thank you in advance,
 


 
Greetings,

There is currently a technical issue preventing Level 1 editors from making any edits to the Waze map. I have updated all 7 previous Race Pace locations to be Trek Bicycle stores. These locations are all set up in Waze with updated web site and store hours. All previously uploaded photos of Race Pace store fronts have been removed.

Trek Bicycle Baltimore Charles Village
3220 Saint Paul St

Trek Bicycle Baltimore Federal Hill
1414 Key Hwy

Trek Bicycle Columbia Maryland
6925 Oakland Mills Rd

Trek Bicycle Ellicott City
3258 Bethany Ln

Trek Bicycle Owings Mills
11000 Owings Mills Blvd

Trek Bicycle Towson
730 Dulaney Valley Rd

Trek Bicycle Westminster
1 Railroad Ave

I am a coach and league volunteer with the Maryland NICA league, and we just wrapped up Season 5 with the MICL Maryland MTB State Finals at Patapsco Valley State Park. Great season! I personally ride Trek bikes as well! Thank you!!

Volunteer map editor responding - thanks for your post. The address 11944 Simpson Rd Clarksville, MD has been adjusted, and the private driveway has been added to the map. We have also done the same for your immediate neighbors (11988, 11954, 11930), These updates should reach mobile devices within a few days. On rare occasions it can take closer to a week.

Please remove any instance of your address from your history and Saved places by the following: https://support.google.com/waze/answer/6262570?hl=en.
Then, perform a new search and resave. If you don't remove the old results from your navigation or Saved places/Home/Work, then you will continue to be routed to the old coordinates. Thanks!
