However, Waze is | Most starting editors at first try to match the map of Waze perfectly to the satellite image. They split roads, add walking trails, make the roads very fluently and draw detailed places. However, Waze is <i>not</i> a topografical map, but a navigation system that routes you to your destination in the best/fastest way.<br /> | ||
<br /> | |||
Waze relies on a map’s display suitable for a small smart-phone screen. It needs a map that accurately instructs where cars can drive, is simple and clear, and uses real time traffic data bound to the parts on the map. Therefore, we follow the three basic principles "Usability, Simplicity, & Retention"; Make it useful, [[KISS|keep it as simple as possible]], and do not delete! The lesser the detail, the clearer the map, lesser data use, faster calculations, and easier maintainance. With that in mind, let's start edit the map! | |||

Indian cities have been growing rapidly, with lots of roads being made and connected to existing roads. So much work to be done. Please only add roads when you are sure they exist. An important source of information is the underlying satellite picture. This picture can be outdated. Also, please be careful deleting roads, as they could contain valuable information. When in doubt consult with a senior editor or local Area manager (see the [[India Community|Community page]]) or submit your question via [[Slack]]. <br /> | Indian cities have been growing rapidly, with lots of roads being made and connected to existing roads.

==== | ====Checking the Junction==== | ||
[[File: | [[File:New-segment-without-trs.png|right|300px]] After adding a new road it is always good to check the connections. If you select the newly created segment the <i>[[#Junction_Arrows|Junction Arrows]]</i> should resemble the possible directions. If the junction is correct there should be arrows pointing to all connected roads. If there are no arrows shown there is probably a problem. Refresh the screen and reconnect the end point of the newly created segment.<br /> | ||

====Cutting a segment==== | |||
[[File:Wme-cutting-a-segment-in-two.png|right|200px]] You can cut a segment into two new segments. You can do this by adding a new segment from some random point nearby, to the point of the segment where you want to cut it. A new junction will be added. Delete the new segment just created. The newly created junction will remain and you made two new segments out of one. If you need to actually separate the road segments at that point, just relocate the end point of one of the two new segments. | |||

=== | ===Places=== | ||
<i>Places</i> like Petrol Pumps, Parking Lots, Train Stations and other <i>Points of interest</i> can be mapped. Be sure to have the Places layer of the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]] enabled and click on the Place menu to show Place categories. Choose one and click on the map to add it. This will add a point place. Use the left panel to change it to, if necessary, into an area and to add other information about the place. For an area place, such as Petrol Pumps and Parking Lots, use [[#Geometry_node|geometry nodes]] of the place to change its shape.<br /> | |||

It contains all information necessary to discuss that location, like latitude, longitude, zoom level, visible layers, and optionally a junction or a place, or one or more segments.

* The first parameter specifies the environment where ''row'' stands for rest of the world. | |||
* Next attribute specify the geographic coordinates to the position of a point on the Earth's surface via the longtitude and latitude | |||
* Third attribute is the zoom level | |||
* Fourth optional attribute - not shown here - are referring to selected segments or places.<br /> | |||
<br /> | <br /> | ||
'''Creating a PL'''<br /> | |||
For locking / unlocking requests a '''PL''' should be supplied with all involved segments. From the [[Waze Map Editor|WME]] screen create a '''PL''' by adjusting the zoom level so all segments to select are visible. While using the Ctrl-key select all involved segments. Then create a '''PL''' by clicking the [[File:PL-symbol.jpg]] symbol bottom right corner of your screen. The '''PL''' is now created as URL in your browser. Use {{Key press|Ctrl|C}} to copy the permalink. You're now able to paste this link anywhere you need it.<br /> | |||
<br /> | <br /> | ||
To include a single place, junction, or segment in the permalink, click on it before using the permalink icon. To include several segments and/or objects, use {{Key press|ctrl|click}} (for MAC:{{key press|command|click}}). | To include a single place, junction, or segment in the permalink, click on it before using the permalink icon.
