Arizona Specific Places

Area Editing

Area Mapping

When creating an Area, map it to the "fence line" of the area.

For instance, if you are mapping a shopping center, this means that you map the area to cover the shopping center buildings, and the parking lots out to the outer ring road (if applicable). If there is no ring road, or for smaller shopping centers, map to the curb line.

If you are mapping a school, you would map out to the fence line (if visible) or to a reasonable distance from the school. Contact a AM, SM, CM, or Champ for assistance.

Hospitals / Urgent Care
Hospital Mapping

A special Category of Hospital / Medical Center is used for Hospitals, Medical Centers and Urgent Care facilities. ONLY Hospitals, Emergency Rooms, and places offering Urgent Medical Care should use this category. Clinics, and Medical offices which do not offer urgent medical care for Walk-Ins should use the Office, and any other appropriate category, instead.

Set the Stop Point over the Main Entrance to the facility. Additionally, map the Emergency Entrance with the same category name, but place it over the Emergency entrance location. ERs encompassed in a hospital Place Area should be Points.

Naming Standard

Places which are part of a larger encompassing place (i.e. place points for lot in a university area, Separate ER entrances in a hospital area, etc.) should be named with their unique name followed by a hyphen and the name of the larger area they belong to. For example "E.R. - Generic Medical Center"


Locking Standard

ARIZONA PLACE LOCK LEVEL STANDARDS
PLACE TYPE LOCK LEVEL
Gas Station 4
Military Installation / Airport 4
Hospitals / Urgent Care / Police & Fire Dept 3
National & State Parks and Monuments 3


This is to prevent loss of data due to automatic acceptance of Place Update submissions from Trusted Users, or Place Update Request approvals from other editors without careful examination.
If you do not have a high enough enough rank to lock the place as indicated, please lock it as high as you can, and notify a higher rank AM, SM, CM, or Champ to lock it higher.

MapRaid Arizona

MapRaid! LA will officially commence on December 19th, 2014. The raid will last for roughly 2 weeks.


We will start by focusing on the INSERT PL AND IMAGE OF CENTRAL LOCATION. The group will be divided into TEAM SIZE, one for each section. Each team will have their own assigned senior editor (rank 6, or 5) who will be able to edit anywhere in the city of LA, but will focus on their assigned section. IMAGE OF THE SECTIONS OF LA Communication during the map raid will be focused on Google Hangouts. If you do not have a Gmail account, you could create one using your Waze Editor name.


Mission

Our primary mission will be to handle the URs, and PURs, followed by checking turn angles at intersections, and turn restrictions. Our secondary mission will be to ensure that FC (Functional Classification) has been incorporated and meets State requirements.

MapRaid Promotions

Some editors really let their bright side out, and let their community skills shine. This is even more evident in a concerted group effort with high-density editing like a MapRaid!. Editors of all ranks working closely with each other and the Champs, really lets us everyone get to know each other, and allows certain editors to be recognized for their skills and effort.

When the Champs see someone consistently editing well, interacting well with the community, and knowledgeable of the various details from the Wiki, they can issue promotions. This can be anything from the size of a managed area, to a rank increase, or even a new role.

Watch here for results of promotions during and after the raid.
