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 常见疑问。
