I'm still missing drives from a couple weeks ago. Are we just waiting around, or is there some process to submit to have the editable areas re-established?

Drives:

The other drives are everyday drives so I already had editing permissions and can't know if those drives gave me or not editing permissions.

Thank you very much for the information. I had started to think that no one is looking into the matter which seems to be world wide problem. I hope its fixed soon as there are some really needed edit in an area which i had left incomplete for the day to be done the next day and this is what happened the next day and its still pending. :(

Complaints are coming in from both servers, all over the world.

This was called directly to the attention of the developers yesterday morning, and they have acknowledged the problem and are investigating the possible causes.

Thank you very much for the update, appreciate it. :)

You say this was about a year ago. Editable areas based on drives only stay open 90 days, after that they close again and you can no longer edit around those previous drives. So this actually sounds like a normal situation.

Can it be returned back or do I hv to re-drive to that areas after a long time (OMG!) or is there any bugs in the app.? Need clarification from Support.... ;)
Driving area only lasts around 3 months. In general, we only want people familiar with current conditions to be editing.

I've just noticed this too - very frustrating. Waze seems so unreliable these days. It wouldn't be so bad if they would actually acknowledge these problems on the status page and post updates on the situation.
