Approach

• Always make a junction as simple as possible while keeping full functionality.
• Always keep in mind how the instructions will show and sound like in the app.

Editing

• Start the Waze Map Editor again on the same location: create and bookmark the PL.
• Select multiple segments: Press the Ctrl key and click on the segments that has to be selected.
• Easy (re)move geometry nodes near a junction: select both segments.
• Use Alt-shift-r to refresh (reload all layers) without reloading the complete windows (F5).
• Check roads on satellite picture: Turn off the Road overlay layer. Toggle road layer Shift-r.
• Split a segment into two segments by drawing a new road and connecting this to the segment to split; then remove the new road.
