Browser Refresh displays unknown terrain

Post by ggccg
Why, when I do a browser refresh (reload this page) during map editing, do I always get taken to this location?

https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=0.3177 ... TTTTTTTTFT

Refresh/reload used to reload the map area I was working on.

Thanks!

Stop hitting refresh because that always takes you to the URL in the browser. The proper method to refresh the current location is to click the permalink.

Are you using the link you posted to access WME? Or are you just going straight to waze.com/editor?

The first contains the location information.

The link I posted is the PermaLink for the page that has recently started to always be the page that loads when I use the browser Reload/Refresh button while editing. I have no idea where it is. I start by going to http://www.waze.com.editor with no locatioin URL and then enter the city area I am interested in editing.

Oddly, it how now stopped this behavior. Nevermind.

I used to have the same "problem." Then I found it works to first delete everything in the URL after "/editor" THEN hit Refresh. Maybe there's a better/more efficient way. (I'd love to know if there is.) But that's working for me currently.
