| ''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).

| 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.

| =='''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.
