''MapRaid'' is an event in which mappers from all over a community join together to resolve MP’s, UR’s, mass add “Places”, fix connectivity problems and add missing roads in a pre-determined area of the map.  Together, the raiders quickly (and vastly) improve the overall condition of their area’s map.  At the end of a ''MapRaid'', the leading participants will be presented in the ''MapRaid'' Hall of fame.

=='''Some History'''==
MapRaid was first initiated by the Indonesian community of editors and then beta run with the Filipino community. The result was great in both test areas; providing the local community with a massive decrease of map problems, update requests and pending ‘places’.
<br>
The Filipino Community ''MapRaid'' lasted one week, and resulted in 226 User Requests answered, 194 Map Problems fixed (leaving zero remaining).
<br>
Generally, a 1% yearly increase in Connectivity Score is positive for a community of equal size and area.  After the week long ''MapRaid'', the Filipino community saw a 2.05% increase in Connectivity Score.
 
=='''Benefits and Implementation'''==
As shown in the statistics above, ''MapRaids'' provide improvements to the editor itself resulting in better search and navigation.  Other benefits include increased communication between a community and its manager at Waze HQ, and a focused mentoring platform.

Suggestions about how to implement mentoring while conducting a MapRaid can be found below.

When a community leader(s) and/or member(s) wishes to conduct a ''MapRaid'' in a certain area of their country they need to let one of their community's champs know about it, the champ will find a few mappers to participate, decide on a period of time for the raid and inform their Waze HQ Community Manager know about it by filling out the [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1luxTBzfR7Vt2MHAD_1sIq4q6zxcznRLZL_nmXuC82LI/viewform MapRaid Request Form].
 
=='''Mentoring and MapRaids'''==
The very first ''MapRaid'' in Indonesia used a map-segmentation process to organize and implement their local mentoring initiative.  As shown below, the local champ divides the MapRaid region into eight areas.

Each segment is assigned with a mentor (meaning an experienced mapper from the community) and a mentee (one, or more, less experienced editors).  Communication between mentor/mentee is then managed through individual segment spreadsheets or via e-mail.
