| Map tiles are part of the core of the Waze Map.
| |
| | |
| == Theory of operation ==
| |
| The Waze map is divided into a grid using 1km-square areas which are called tiles or map tiles. Changes to the map are processed on a per-tile basis. Changes to any part of a map tile causes Waze to mark the tile as changed and it will be rebuilt in the next map update cycle.
| |
| | |
| == Updates ==
| |
| When certain items in the map are edited, they cause the Waze system to incorporate the changes from the offline editor database into the live map database during an [[Timeline of updating process|update cycle]]. That process will only include changes from map tiles that trigger the tile for an update. Not everything that gets edited will trigger an update.
| |
| | |
| Note that because some things do not trigger updates on their own, the system will also cycle through a percentage of the tiles each map update cycle and eventually update all the tiles. The process generally takes 10+ days.
| |
| | |
| == Trigger updates ==
| |
| The following edits are known to trigger a map update for anything else that changed in the same map tile.
| |
| | |
| * [[Turn_restrictions#Junction_Arrows|Junction Arrows]] (standard and [[Scheduled restrictions|scheduled restrictions]])
| |
| * [[Segment restrictions]] (scheduled)
| |
| * [[Creating_and_Editing_street_segments#Road_elevation|Road elevation]]
| |
| * [[Editing_restrictions#Manual_lock|Road locks]]
| |
| * Changes to [[Creating_and_Editing_street_segments#Confirm_the_road_by_updating_details|Street/Alternate/City/State name]]
| |
| * Adding [[Creating_and_Editing_street_segments#Toll_Road|toll indicator]]
| |
| * [[Creating_and_Editing_street_segments#Adjusting_road_geometry_.28nodes.29|Geometry changes]] to a segment
| |
| * Adding a [[Creating_and_Editing_street_segments#Drawing_the_road|new road]] through WME
| |
| * Adding a new road by paving in the client after the back end system processes the drive (a few days).
| |
| | |
| == No update triggered ==
| |
| The following edits will '''not''' trigger a map update. Therefore to get any of these changes to be seen in the live map, one of the previously mentioned edits must take place in that map tile.
| |
| | |
| * [[Cameras|Camera]] updates
| |
| * Adding or editing [[House Numbers in WME]]
| |
| * Adding or editing a [[Places|Place]].
