On another note we resumed the automatic tile build for IL, we’ll keep monitoring it and make sure it runs smoothly.
If everything goes as planned we’ll proceed with NA and ROW after that.

I noticed that livemap tiles for ROW are updated now, but new roads are not used for route calculation. Also snapshot mode in editor shows new roads too. So something's happening.
 

 

We would like to let you know that there is a planned delay to the Tile Build process - our sincere apologies for the late notice. We have decided to take advantage of the “quiet time” in December to make some necessary upgrades and overhaul many of the processes that make up the map's infrastructure. 

We had hoped downtime would be limited, however we are now anticipating a period of around 1 month without map updates. This means changes requiring tile updates applied in WME will not be reflected in the LiveMap or in the Waze app in all countries until mid-January at the earliest. Any changes made during this period will be saved and implemented as soon as the Tile Build process is back online.

It sounds like the planned delay was only supposed to be for a few days or so.  As the second paragraph eludes to, the month long part of the delay was not anticipated.


 


 

They have done better

It still would have been nice to have been advised about the short planned delay in advance, then it may not have hurt so bad when it turned into a month long delay.
 


 

Even one day delay should have been announced upfront
