Delayed Map Updates until Mid-January, 2022

Post by Timbones
Waze wrote:We had hoped downtime would be limited, however we are now anticipating a period of around 1 month without map updates. This means changes requiring tile updates applied in WME will not be reflected in the LiveMap or in the Waze app in all countries until mid-January at the earliest. Any changes made during this period will be saved and implemented as soon as the Tile Build process is back online. 
See viewtopic.php?t=336371 for full text, updates and feedback.

Also, please use extreme caution when cutting segments (especially on major roads) during this time period.
If you cut a segment, it will prevent us from adding closures to the new segments.

Jeez. Have they somehow managed to suddenly put the work experience kid in charge of running the company?

There seems to be an ongoing problem with the ROW tiles. The planned manual build 30/31 Dec has now gone back to 4/5 Jan and goes back a day each day.

Hopefully we will get one before "soon".  :D

A successful tile build has just been completed. ROW is now correct up to 29th Dec. Another one is now due tomorrow to get up to date.

Just seen this on the Discord, which is a pretty good suggestion given the situation:
As mentioned in the announcements channel, our edits will not be hitting the map for quite a while. When responding to UR's, it's fine to be very vague with any discussion of when the update will hit the map. Something like "These changes will be implemented during the next map update cycle" will be totally sufficient in almost every case. A vague statement like that will make drivers aware that we've addressed their issue, and in the vast majority of cases drivers will be fine with that. In case of request for more information, it's acceptable to tell drivers that the update cycle in this case will be several weeks - but in general it's better to not address the timing of the update at all. Very few drivers understand how frequently the map gets updated anyhow and will probably not be shocked if it takes a few weeks.

Yeah, map updates have not been restarted. They just did a manual tile build due to the complaints of having no notice when they stopped. As far as I know, they should restart again mid-Jan, but they might do one or two manual builds too (fingers crossed).
