It was late last night/early this morning. Any edit I did would save. But if I changed the shape if any place area, I would get a save error. When I get on later I will see if this happens again.

Were you moving them or just touching up the edges? If you move any point more than I think 150m, you get an error. however, you can move it less than that, save, then move it again.

It would be so easy to display a message : " Till the end of the beta no POI could be added " instead of "error while saving ".

Although there's no official statement, there's a thread here assuming it is. we've seen many URs and first hand instances where petrol prices can't be submitted recently, as if the landmarks no longer think they are petrol stations with associated functionality.
Ah, you beat me to it, I was going to ask the same thing, be nice to know it is because of this.

I do think that it can be assumed the most involved editors are subscribed to posts on this forum or enter it regularly. And if we follow standard internet courtesy of searching before asking it should be easy to find for those that enter the forum after running into trouble.
I do agree to some extent but putting a notice on the editor itself and removing / disabling the button to add landmarks on a temporary basis would have been much more efficient. Let's face it a notice in the editor is going to be seen by everyone editing, a forum post is only going to be seen by those looking for it after experiencing issues or the truly dedicated (who should be editing and not reading forums :))

I look forward to the release as I am currently trying to update a lot of roads and landmarks in one of my local areas (Sichuan China) but have noticed the landmarks are locked.
The only bad thing (downside) is that when you try to save a new landmark, the editor only says 'there is an error saving'. It does not tell you that you are not able to save due to updates.
It would have been more helpful if the error reason was used in the editor.

Found this topic trying to understand what was going on with landmarks.. Indeed that explains it. I had a UR of someone saying that an existing landmark for a gas station didn't appear on the Waze app anymore and couldn't edit it at all.

It's great that the landmark feature is getting an update. I've read this thread but haven't really understood what the new system of "Places" is going to change exactly..? is that related to Google Places? Is there anywhere where this is listed?

I like that you can now show closed automatic reports and URs. The new Places things with point and area works well too! I guess what I like the most is that you can setup the exact spot that Waze should guide people to when driving towards a large place.

Was a bit surprised to see all landmarks/Places in pink as well though :lol:

Do not forget to update the translation too! (I've translated all the strings in Transifex months ago, but they're still not appeared in WME.)
