Large Area Managers
Large Area Managers (LAM) help manage large sections of a state working with the local Area Managers. You can also reach out to them for assistance.
Large Area Manager Regions
A map of the LAM regions within MAR is below.
- LAMs are simplified and normally consist of 4 geopoints. This may cause coverage into surrounding states. LAM's are expected to get permission from that other state's SM if they wish to edit in that area. Otherwise, LAMs should remain in the state they are assigned.
- There can be more than one LAM for each region
LAM Responsibilities
- Abbreviation: LAM
- Responsibilities: As the name suggests, LAMs manage a much larger portion of the map than AMs.
- As a rough rule of thumb, it is typical to grant LAM areas measured in thousands or tens of thousands of square miles
- Develop projects to systematically improve the map
- Planned construction/reconfiguration
- Base map improvements
- Coordinate regular editing upkeep of their LAM
- UR/PUR/MP resolution
- Unlock/uplock requests
- Mentoring/outreach to new editors
- LAM should maintain activity on the map and in the community on a weekly basis, and preferably a daily basis
It is requested that a Large Area Manager who will be away from map editing activities for more than two (2) weeks please notify the State Managers by private message (PM). This is simply to ensure, if needed, that any adjustments can be made for handling update requests or other activities.
