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.

  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.
