Philippine Waze Area Manager

What is an Area Manager and what does it entail:

• An Area Manager is a Waze community member (a user) who wishes to take an active and proactive role in maintaining specific areas of the Waze map. How deeply involved and how much time an Area Manager spends maintaining the Waze map varies greatly. Duties of an Area Manager include, but not necessarily limited to:

• Seek to continuously improve the maps for navigation, i.e. naming un-named roads and setting turns properly.

• Make changes to the map when road geometry needs to be changed, or roads added or removed from the map.

• Edit road construction areas, especially for closures so that users are not routed into those areas.

• Respond to and act on Update Requests from Waze drivers.

• Maintain speed and red-light cameras, processing reports of devices from Waze drivers.

• Process and resolve Map Errors or Problems as shown on that layer in the Waze Map Editor.

• Act as a mentor to other editors, offering advice in the forums and when you see improper edits on the map.

By being an Area Manager, you agree to be reachable and available to respond to communication from your fellow Waze editors. Being an Area Manager is not for your convenience so you can edit the map at a higher level but rather it entails the responsibilities listed above.

When you become inactive or unreachable for a long period of time, your AM permissions and level will be revoked.

The following are the conditions or requirements for approval of AM applications:

• Approval of at least 3 current Area Managers, if possible the same AMs for the location applied, upon review of the map edits of the AM applicant.
• Meets 'X' number of edits for area applied
  • City wide or permalink wide - 10k map edits
  • Metro Manila, Metro Cebu, & Metro Davao wide - 20k map edits
  • Province wide - 25k map edits
  • Region wide - 50k map edits
  • Luzon, Visayas, or Mindanao Island Groups - 100k map edits
  • Countrywide - CM only or 250k edits
• Must have at least 10 posts in Waze forum or FB group page (must be related to waze and have sense)
• Must have resolved at least 100 update requests
• Must have at least 2,500 existing kilometers
• Must be an active member of the Philippine Waze forum and/or FB group page
• Must attend at least 1 waze meetup per year. Waze has a quarterly meetup. This can be waived if the applicant is not from Metro Manila
• Must pass an online exam. (Currently under process)

List of Philippines Area Managers

This list is based on the recently approved Area Managers, those approved after the Philippines became self-managed. Those approved before self-management are not listed, send a message to kazmuth on the forums if you have been previously approved and wish to be added. You can send these wazers a message in the forums if you want to have an issue fixed in their respective areas.
