Waze 地图编辑宗旨：实用、简洁、不轻易删除。 改进 Waze 地图，意味你加入一群志同道合者，共同改进 Waze 驾驶体验。你会发现自己庞大权力改善 Waze 导航通勤。实现这一目标，需要由简到繁，熟悉 Waze 地图编辑器原则，与 Waze 伙伴多交流。
智能应用导航用户到目的地，同时帮他们绕开道路堵塞。这需要地图适合手机、电子平板屏幕尺寸。还需要地图准确反映机动车往哪儿驾驶，简洁清晰，实时反映通车量到相应路段。
前言
- 理解 Waze 地图编辑器（WME）指南，用以指导编辑地图并改进地图。Waze 智能应用有视频介绍了编辑功能，但只是管中窥豹。每个编辑意味着一批 Waze 用户看到明显变化。不去删除路段，只能依据编辑宗旨（实用、简洁、不轻易删除）改变地图。
- 熟悉 Waze 地图编辑器交流平台。交流、合作，Waze 地图编辑器基础之一。尽早与其他 WME 编辑互动，能尽早避免在编辑地图过程碰壁，也能打下 WME 坚实知识基础。
- 新地域更新，区域内新增道路信息才得到刷新，两者之间有时间空挡。
- 变更地点信息，得到批准才生效。2级地图编辑者直接编辑地点，变动即时生效。在另一地域新增地点，需等待这个更新地域获得批准，后者一旦更新成功，新增地点同步更新。
- 留意地图动态刷新，得知地域更新时间规律。所有地域每1至3天刷新一次。
- 注册 WME 账户（帮助页面：暂无中文）
- 避免注册 USA 或者 World 词头账号名（帮助页面：英文），命名或者更新为容易理解的账号名。
- 登入 Waze 论坛（英文）或者 Waze 论坛中文区（1、2），确认账号生效，其他 WME 编辑可联系你。
- 在沙盒模式下练习编辑地图：退出 WME，在 WME 登出状态操练编辑。多阅读 WME 常见问题。

Use the layers icon Wme-layers-2018.PNG in the upper right-hand corner and tick the box next to Live Users. Open chat WME Chat Online 2018.png. Send "Good Morning. This is my first time editing!" and say what you are here to do. Any available experienced editors will be very glad to talk to you while you make your first edits. Remember that you need to stick with the work you started until it is finished and corrected. Follow the best practices guide, and use the Quick Start Guide if you don't know how to do something. Also, you should take the time to read over the full Waze Map Editor guide, which goes into great detail and shows you how to do many things with the editor that might not be covered in the quick start and best practices guides (or not in as much detail). What is safe to do your first time out? Correct spellings. Check and correct road direction (one-way or two way). Check whether turns are allowed or not. Create new roads or fix up roads you have recently "paved" using the app. Remember to confirm the road, connect it to other roads, and fix all the allowed and not-allowed turns to make it route properly. Unless you are working closely with an experienced editor, you should: Not delete roads or any parts of roads -- because that deletes traffic data. Not create new parking lots or other area places. Because all your place changes will initially require approval, you might like to avoid any Places edits (points and areas) entirely at first. Not make changes to major roads and their ramps or turn lanes. Not make changes to roads that are connected to locked roads. Not turn two-way roads into divided roads or highways, even if they are that way in real life. After you save your change, use chat to send "I have just saved my first edit. Can someone check my work in <El Dorado, Arkansas> (or wherever you are located) please." Select the object you just saved and share a permalink Permalink-2018.png to it. After your first editing session Check your private messages on the Waze forum for a welcome message. Connect with the editor community by checking the editing forum Check the email you used to register with waze. You'll get a notification there if anyone sends you a new PM, or if you get any other kind of notification from waze. Come back to editor chat and ask lots of questions. Learn about skills for beginning editors Find out the area managers in the areas you edit. If you can't figure out who they are, ask in chat. Introduce yourself in chat or PM ask for guidance. Learn to check your own work, following the Best practices guidelines, and avoiding Common editing mistakes. Read some more in the wiki. Begin with the Quick Guide. Go into more details with the Map Editor Interface and Controls. Digest Best practices and Common editing mistakes. Start to understand when and when not to create roads, what road types to use, and how junctions and road types affect routing. Some of this stuff is tricky, so ask questions all along the way. Tools you can use Some mistakes can be difficult to spot. Some enterprising editors have written Waze Map Editing browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox
