== Philippine Waze Area Manager ==
== Philippine Waze Champs and Experts ==
In every country, the community is Waze’s beating heart. It edits the map, helps with localization and provides Waze with important info and feedback. Each community is a little different, but there are common roles and rules that are relevant to everyone.
 
 
'''Champs are the community leaders'''
<br />
Champs are the most experienced users who also contribute to discussions on the forum or the community's Facebook page.
This is not just about editing skills - it’s about actively participating in the community.
 
Global champ - Part of the world community leadership of Waze
Local champ - Part of a specific country’s community leadership
 
 
Coordinators are users (usually Champs) who act as the community’s ambassadors to Waze. They have a direct communication channel to the company.
 
'''A Coordinator’s main responsibilities:'''
<br />
Participate in both the global and local Champs' groups, and be in direct contact with the relevant Waze community manager
Advise about the urgency and the severity of any reported issue
Be aware of the company news, product announcements, new versions etc. 
Take part in the setup of local and regional editors meetups
 
 
Experts are editors who've mastered a certain field - be it Routing, Android, iOS or localization
Experts are the ‘top-authority’ for anything related to their expertise
Experts will be part of the global experts group and will work closely with Waze and with community members
 
Waze will share with the group of experts all sorts of professional information, knowledge and future plans that are relevant for their area of expertise.  Experts will be responsible to ‘carry & deliver’ the relevant information to the local community.
Experts Will moderate relevant forums and will manage relevant Wiki pages
 
Country and Division Managers are Champs who take charge of the entire country or several states/counties in large countries, i.e. provinces/regions for the Philippines. They manage a region in all things relevant to the community


'''What is an Area Manager and what does it entail:'''
Division Managers are added according to the community’s judgement, usually in large countries, in which geographic limitations require another layer of community involvement.


*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.

<u>Global Champ</u>

* Adabadada


*Seek to continuously improve the maps for navigation, i.e. naming un-named roads and setting turns properly.
<u>Local Champs</u>
* zy_pher
* Guardian4ngel
* shogsbro
* Lu_Wei_Jie
* rccoros
* glychlor
* Brezzypete

Country and Division Managers are Champs who take charge of the entire country or several states/counties in large countries, i.e. provinces/regions for the Philippines. They manage a region in all things relevant to the community

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 are not necessarily limited to:
  1. Seek to continuously improve the maps for navigation, i.e. naming unnamed roads and setting turns properly
  2. Make changes to the map when road geometry needs to be changed, or when roads need to be added/removed from the map
  3. Edit road closures so that users are not routed through those areas.
  4. Respond to and act on Update Requests from Waze drivers.
  5. Maintain speed and red-light cameras, process reports of devices from Waze drivers.
  6. Process and resolve Map Errors or Problems in the Waze Map Editor.
  7. Act as a mentor to other editors, offering advice in the forums and whenever improper edits are spotted on the map
  8. 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 90 days, your AM permissions and level will be revoked.

  • Must have at least 2,500 existing kilometers
