| So you want to be a waze editor? You are about to join a community working together to improve wazers' drives by improving the Waze map.

To do that, just start simple, learn the basic principles, and connect with the community.

| | | What [[What do they say|other people say about Waze]].<br /> |
| Waze is an app that helps its users avoid traffic while navigating to their destinations. It relies on a map suitable for a small smart-phone screen. It needs a map that accurately represents where motor vehicles can drive, is simple and uncluttered, and retains the road segments with the traffic data. These three basic principles of map editing are usability, simplicity, and retention. Keep that in mind and get started!

| == Your first editing session ==
| | If you have a question about the app please check the [https://support.google.com/waze/?hl=nl#topic=6273402 Waze web help] pages or contact the [[Community|community]] via one of the available means. |
| * If you haven't already, watch the tutorial videos at [https://waze.com/editor waze.com/editor]. They are a little out of date, but still introduce some of the basic skills you'll be using.
| |
| * Try out some of these skills. Choose practice mode at [https://waze.com/editor waze.com/editor] (log out if you have to) .Try out what you learned in the video. For the things that look different, see the [[Editing_manual]], especially [[Creating and editing road segments]].
| |
| * Ready? Log in and get ready.
| |
| ** See other waze editors: Use the layers icon [[File:layers.png|25px]] in the upper right-hand corner and tick the box next to [[Layers#Live_Users|Live Users]].
| |
| ** Open chat [[File:WME Chat minimized visible no new.JPG|25px]]. Send "Good Morning. This is my first time editing!". Experienced editors will be very glad to talk to you before you make your first edit.
| |
| ** Tell what you have come here to do. Experienced editors can let you know if it is easy to fix or easy to mess up.
| |
| * What is safe to do your first time out?
| |
| ** Correct spellings
| |
| ** Check and correct road direction (one-way or two way),
| |
| ** check whether turns are allowed or not.
| |
| ** If you have recently "[[pave]]d" a road using the app, you can [[Creating_and_editing_road_segments#Confirm_the_road_by_updating_details|confirm the road]] to make it show up in the app.
| |
| * Your first time out, unless you have guidance, you probably should:
| |
| *# Not Delete roads -- that deletes traffic data.
| |
| *# Not Create [[Places/Parking_lot#Principles|parking lots]] or [[Places#Area|area places]] -- there are good reasons not to do this.
| |
| *# Not Add lots of [[Road_types/USA#Parking_Lot_Road|roads or lanes in parking lots]] -- that confuses waze and clutters the map.
| |
| *# Not Make changes to major roads and their on-ramps or turn lanes.
| |
| * After you save your change, use chat to send "I have just saved my first edit. Can someone check my work in ElDorado Arkansas (or wherever you are located)". Select the object you just saved and share a [[Waze_Map_Editor#Permalink|permalink]] [[File:Permalink_icon.png|25px]] to it.
| |
| * Stick with the work you started until it is finished and corrected.
| |
| | |
| == After your first editing session ==
| |
| * Check your [https://www.waze.com/forum/ucp.php?i=pm&folder=inbox forum personal messages]. You may have a welcome message from another waze editor.
| |
| * Check the email you used to register with waze. You'll get a notification there if anyone sends you a new PM, or if you get any other kind of notification from waze.
| |
| * Come back to editor chat and ask lots of questions.
