Coastal Area Problem on Live Map

[cherianchris]

Dear Wazers,

Please go through the attached screenshot. The area is a coastal area and the roads near the coast appear to have been flooded by the sea. On the client, the entire area is blue. I have checked the landmarks, and the city names but haven't found anything amiss. Please help me with this strange problem.

Happy Wazing !

Passing this on to support... There was an update to the Country Polygons on Nov 14...

We just uploaded the updated country-polygons to all servers.
Let us know if you see weird "submerged" streets or anything like that.

Ori,

Based on the Lat / Long display on the livemap, it seems to be Chennai, India.
This should do the trick : https://world.waze.com/editor/?zoom=4&lat=12.95464&lon=80.25753&layers=BFTFFTTTFTTTTTTTTTTTTFT

Hi,

Any update from the Support Team, please Gentlemen ?

Hi,

The problem is that in some countries we need to fix the location of borders and coastal area lines.
Following this post, we'll fix all of India's coast line in Waze's maps, going through the entire coast line might take some time though..

You can practice on the Dutch coastline, much shorter

The thing that confuses me is the message from JonyPony just a few days ago saying all the country polygons had been updated.

Is there confusion between editing boundaries, and visible coastlines? Also, the 'sea' we see in the Livemap is not the same as what we see in the client app.

Indeed, the client map looks much better...
