This page provides the basics to start editing the Waze Map in India. Most of the paragraphs include links to pages with elaborate information, in case you want to know more. These pages can be Indian, but can also be global pages in Waze, general pages from another source or even from another country. All pages specific for India show the tabs on top. If information seems to contradict, the guidelines for India always prevail. | This page provides the basics to start editing the Waze Map in India.

We can add roads from the app (the [https://support.google.com/waze/answer/7163572?hl=en&ref_topic=6262573 Pave function]) as well as in WME. Please only add roads when you are sure they exist. Also, please be careful deleting roads, as they contain valuable information. Best is to consult with a senior editor or local Area manager (see the [[Community|Community page]].

===== Road type ===== | ===== Road type ===== | ||
For every segment in the WME, you can choose the type of road. Road types are important for the display and routing, and may differ from the actual road type. In general: | |||
* The main roads in a district or town should at least be set to primary. | |||
* If segments will be used for through-going traffic or for longer distances connecting districts or towns, they should at least be mH (minor Highway) | |||
* Main interconnecting roads with fast traffic should at least be MH (major Highway) | |||
Always try to connect a road to a same level of road type or higher. Thus, Waze should be able to route from primary to primary (or higher), from minor to minor (or higher), from major to major (or higher), and from Freeway to Freeway. Another way of explaining this, is that you should be able to continuously drive on the same or higher type of segments for the routing engine to use that road type in the calculations. | |||
This means we sometimes need to make small roads mH, for the possibility of calculating long distance routing. If anything is unclear, please ask your community for input. | |||
