Because the routing server uses much smaller timeslices and doesn't use average speed at all (that we've been told), I haven't found average speed to be of much use.

So far so good on beta behavior.

I was thinking the same..... :o :)
And with Shift-Z you can also see the actual turns not allowed on the editor.

Regards from Concepción, Chile,
That's an extra step for someone to remember during scanning. And one that most editors won't do -- Shift-Z mode is great when I remember to do it, but most of the stuff I find with WMECH and Validator are incidental to editing things nearby to the issues they highlight for me. Normal editing has Shift-Z off.
IMO, this may lead editors to "fix" errors with a 'w' tap which aren't actually errors.

You could try. ;) But if there enough issues/complaints, they might just get fired.

That means that Waze has very little control over what they do and only do something on particularly bad cases.

However, the function request for highlighting things (not only places) last edited my an IGN does seem like a good idea.
What IGN is to work on, their tasks, are directly controlled by Waze. Waze has control over which contractors work for them and don't and have them removed when performance is poor. This model is typically referred to as "staff augmentation."

Request (old one): Change color of the circle around a House Number to show which are updated by an editor. Example in the screenshot is green circles have been updated by an editor. Normal blue ones have not.

Olestas wrote:There are definitely house numbers that where placed by some automated system. They are often wrong or in incorrect place. They don't have Last edited editor by tag. So it might be possible to detect them.
CBenson wrote:To answer 2). If a house number hasn't been edited by an editor, waze does not use it in address searches. Once an editor makes any change to an automatically imported house number, then waze does use that house number in address searches. Thus, the need to "nudge" the automatically imported house numbers that are correct.
Yes and yes! Thanks!

@Timbones, I am getting an error in the console and my list of local users for highlights only shows me. The error is:

With the Highlighter City you can filter roads by country. ;-)
You can find it at userscripts.org.
