MegaMapRaid China will run from Aug. 26 through Sept. 10, 2017. Please do not make any edits in the raid area until after the raid begins. This will allow us to get accurate MapRaid statistics.
A MegaMapRaid (MMR) is a MapRaid in which a group of international map editors join together and update a large area. Besides the benefits of a normal MapRaid, it opens up different ways of dealing with editing and navigation situations, because every country has its own specifics. It is always fun and a great learning experience to people from several backgrounds. Besides, the raiders together quickly improve the overall condition of the Waze map.
The participants will be divided into four groups, one for each section of the map. Each group will have both local and senior editors, one of which will be the group leader. Please direct all questions to your group leaders.
The raid organizers will be available across all areas for added support: asterix06, enhket, and orbitc
Communication
We will use Discord for communication. Use this link to join: There will be a China country channel and also a channel for each raid group. If you have trouble joining, please reach out to one of the MapRaid organizers. WME chat can also be used. The WME Chat addon is recommended. Real-time communication will be in Discord channels, but some information will be posted in the Waze forum, as well.
Mission
The raiders' primary mission is to improve connectivity between villages, towns, and cities. This means adding segments where they are missing. Naming the segments requires language ability, so that is best left to the local editing community.
The tasks
- Create segments, especially those that connect villages, towns, and cities to major highways.
- Verify the map for errors (turn restrictions, disconnections etc)
- Respond to Update Requests (URs)
- Respond to Place Update Requests (PURs)
- Have fun!
