I lost an editable area from a somewhat lengthy drive near home on 11/2, that I mostly made for the express purpose of checking the area for needed edits. Only a few edits later and can't edit anymore. :(

I have also noticed that 'problem' in areas that expired (after 3 months, not this recent issue), but beware, you don't have full rights. Specifically, you can't edit junctions, so don't disconnect a road and try to rejoin it.

I also lost my ability to edit the map. I have done a few edits that were successfully added to the map a couple of weeks later. I want to fix some things on the map that found this week but the map editor won't let me make any edits now. What gives?

I haven't even been a member for 3 months. I drove the area last weekend.

I used the editor a month ago in areas near my house and the map is now accurate there. I tried again a few days ago to edit these recent changes and I cannot edit anything. I am locked out of the whole map.

This is the area I'm in.

I have made edits here a few days ago. Now I can't edit anything. The highlighted 1 mile radius will not show up on the map.

OK, a small area was unlocked and I made a small change. I went to another area a few miles away where I have traveled recently and it is also locked....

I really want to be a good map editor and follow the rules but if these people are going to arbitrarily lock me out of the places I go then it just isn't worth it.
