| ''For other uses, see [[Rank (disambiguation)]] or [[Points (disambiguation)]]''
| |
| | |
| | |
| Waze uses a point system to track use of the the Waze client application, and the Waze Map Editor. Different actions give you different numbers of points. Your point total is compared to the point totals of other Waze users to determine your Waze rank. Wazers who edit the map also have an edit count and an editor rank.
| |
| | |
| == My Dashboard ==
| |
| You can see your points and rank from the mobile application by selecting the Menu, then My Waze, then Scoreboard. You can see more information about your points from the website at [[File:Cog.PNG]][http://www.waze.com/dashboard My Dashboard]. For more information about the dashboard, please read [[My_Dashboard|My Dashboard]].
| |
| | |
| Waze updates your dashboard periodically -- usually once a day. If you do not think the points are up-to-date, please check the [//status.waze.com/ status page] to see if waze is aware of any delays. Waze calculates all the points that all Waze users have earned and shows you where you rank compared to other Waze users. The Dashboard page on the website will also show you how additional information about your driving, reporting, and map editing.
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Rank.jpg|center]]
| |
| | |
| == How are points calculated? ==
| |
| Different things you do with Waze -- driving, reporting, editing the map -- will earn you different amounts of points. You receive the same number of points per kilometer driven whether you choose to display miles or kilometers (a table below translates the two measurement systems).
| |
| | |
| Waze maintains a [//support.google.com/waze/answer/6078593?hl=en&ref_topic=6073110 list of activities and points] -- it is also shown below.
| |
| | |
| You can get more points either by driving more or by [[Waze Map Editor|updating the map]] for areas where you already drive.
| |
| | |
| ===What Is a Map Edit?===
| |
| | |
| Map edits are listed in your scoreboard. They also affect your total number of points -- each map edit increases your score by several points.
| |
| "Editing the map" means making a change to one road segment. If you correct the spelling on 3 segments of the same road, you will earn three map edits. If you edit the same segment more than one time in a 24-hour day, you will only receive credit for the edit one time.
| |
| | |
| For example, if you correct the city name at the same time or a little later in the day, you have made two changes to the segment but will receive credit for one edit to the segment.
| |
| | |
| === What's the Difference Between a Change and an Edit? ===
| |
| | |
| [[File:wme_button_save_pending_red.png|right]]In the map editor, any change is counted by the counter on the [[Map_Editor_Interface_and_Controls#Save_Button|Save icon]]. A change is not the same as edit. A change is any action that can be undone with the undo button. For example, if you select 10 segments at one time, correct the spelling of the name on all 10 segments, and select Apply, the change counter will increase by one. Why? Because you made one single, undo-able change. If you change one segment by moving 10 geometry points around a curve, each time you drag and drop a geometry point, that is a change and the change counter increases because you can undo each of these actions. | |
| | |
| In the first example, those 10 segments changed all at once will get you credit for 10 edits. In the second example, those 10 changes will get you credit for 1 edit. In the first, you changed 10 different objects. In the second, you changed only a single object.
| |
| | |
| As a final, extreme example: if you update an existing long segment, give it a new name, change the city, change the road type, the direction, the lock level and elevation, then adjust the location of 100 geometry points, the save counter may show 160 changes. When you save, that is counted as a single edit to that segment.
| |
| | |
| When you save a large number of changes at once, the system will not credit you with more than 150 points each time you save changes. If you have more than 150 points worth of changes stored up before you save, the edits will be saved to the map, but you only get up to 150 points. Remember that points are not displayed in the save icon, only edits. If you are concerned with the number of edits and points you receive for fixing the map, save more often and with fewer changes between saves to avoid doing uncredited work.
| |
| | |
| The details behind these calculations are discussed in [http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=10760&start=190 this forum thread]. Additional changes made to the point system are noted in [https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=408881#p408881 this later forum thread].

| ===The Table of Points===
| |
| | |
| {{/Points collecting}}
| |
| | |
| === {{Anchor|Road candies}}Bonus points and road goodies ===
| |
| [[Image:Candy500.png|right|300px]]
| |
| There are other ways to earn points. Once you meet the criteria for one of the following tasks below, a message pops up in the Waze client application. The message states you've earned a "candy" that contains a particular number of points. Simply drive over where the candy is located and the points will be added to your total upon Waze's next ranking update. The bonus points can only be earned once unless otherwise noted.
| |
| | |
| Bonus candies only appear at road [[junctions]] and generally get placed on the road along your current path. If for some reason you are unable to drive over the candy, don't worry about it. The candy will come back at another location as you continue to drive, or when you use Waze on another trip. If you do not enable these "Road Goodies" in the Waze client application, you will receive the credits during the next weekly point update.
| |
| | |
| Other road goodies often appear at random locations on the map around the time of special holidays. Each type of candy has a set value and they are typically between 3 and 10 points. Like the bonus candies, you just need to drive over them to collect the points. If you do not drive over these candies, they will not relocate for you to drive over them later.

| |
| | |
| If you believe you have completed an achievement, but have not seen the bonus candy on the road, sometimes you just need to wait another week for it to catch up in the server. If the achievement was for something that required multiple days, the calendar resets at the beginning of the week on Monday, so the bonus will not happen unless it is between the Monday to Monday cycle. Also note that some bonuses cannot be earned in the same week and require a separate Monday cycle between them.

| {{:Your Rank and Points/Client ranks}}
| |
| | |
| === Waze Point Rank ===
| |
| Your total points collected from all types of activities are compared to others in your Country or State depending upon what server you are located. You are also compared to everyone on both servers around the world. This rank is displayed in various locations on the app and in the My Dashboard through the web interface. The highest rank is 1. | |
| | |
| == Waze Map Editing Ranks ==
| |
| | |
| When you edit the map, you accumulate map edit points. You can also earn higher editing ranks.
| |
| Both map edit points and editing rank are displayed when you use the map editor.
| |
| | |
| ===Editing Permission===
| |
| Your editor rank affects the area of the map you can edit as well as your ability to "lock" roads, places, and cameras, edit locked roads, places, and cameras, and add closures to roads. For more information, please [[Map_Editor_Interface_and_Controls#Permission|read about permissions in the waze map editor]]. You can see the current editing rank of the last editor of any segment, place, or camera by selecting the object and checking the information in the left pane. If you need help fixing an object that is locked above your rank, please [[Editing_restrictions#Unlocking_an_object_above_your_rank|read about editing objects locked above your rank]]

| === Forum badges ===
| |
| | |
| The [http://www.waze.com/forum/index.php Waze forums] use badges to indicate [http://www.waze.com/forum/ucp.php?i=167 group membership] for Waze editors. Some editors may belong to multiple groups, but only one badge can be displayed. Each Waze editor who has more than one badge can select which badge to display in the right pane of their forum posts. The following table identifies the current badges in use in the forums. Membership in these groups requires approval by a country's Self-Management and is applied to the forum by certain Champs or Waze administration.
