Waze base maps come from the U.S. Census Bureau's Tiger Data [http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/].  Tiger Data provides somewhat accurate names and locations for roads, but it does not include road directions, distinctions between railroads, pedestrian alleys, canals, and roads, or any navigation data whatsoever.

While simply driving the roads edits them, we need an editor that allows for more detailed features to be defined.  That editor is Cartouche.  Cartouche is a map editor used by the end user to fine tune the base map. It containing four main panels to aid the user: [[Layers panel|Layers]], [[Map control panel|Map Control]], [[View panel|View]], and [[Edit panel|Edit]].
 
==Accessing Cartouche==
* Log in to your account.
* Select "Live Map" in the main navigation header.
* Select "Update Map" located just above the map viewer.

Your screen should look something like this.  Each panel can be moved around by clicking and dragging on an empty part of the panel.
 
==Navigating the map==
* Move around the map by clicking and dragging on an empty space in the viewer.
* There are three ways to zoom in cartouche:
** The buttons on the zoom controller in the upper-left corner of the map viewer will zoom in and out, and the vertical bar allows for immediate zooming to a specific level.
** Double-clicking any point on the map will zoom in and center the map on that point.
** Scrolling up with your mouse wheel will zoom in on a certain point, and scrolling down will zoom out, keeping the mouse pointer's location in the same location."
