How to add landmarks? Are they all locked?

Post by chirp333
Dear Admins or Moderators or Experienced Users,

I tried adding a few landmarks to Waze, for example, prominent buildings in the area, etc.
However, when I try to save it always says : An error has occurred.

Is this because the maps are locked to newbie editors? Even for just adding landmarks?

Anyways, I'm very interested in contributing and updating...is there any way how to do so?

Thanks so much!

Hello,
I figured out na why I can't add landmarks.
Apparently, there is a problem if I use Google Chrome web browser! Maybe Chrome is not compatible.
I switched to MS Internet explorer and now I could save landmarks without any problem.

I figured since everyone seemed to not have any problems, it was something on my end.

Thank you!

Hmm ... okay ... it works now using Chrome also.

Maybe there was a mapping update nga.

That's funny kasi I kept trying for two or three days using Chrome before I saw your posts and switched to Internet Explorer.

Thank you!

and if you lose 3g signal for a period, the app should not send the traversed path after recovering the signal?
This happens to me, I traveled a path without 3g signal and that path is locked for editing, it was precisely the part where I lost 3g signal

Ok, I understand the Waze is more a "social" platform where points are worth more. The editors are also classified in this "social" platform. Unlike OSM.

Are you creating a landmark within your editable area?

Hmm... that is odd. I use Google Chrome exclusively for map editing. You could clear your cache and try again. Maybe you were editing while there was a map editor update. There are usually hiccups when an update occurs
