<!-- This is no longer the guidance from Waze staff
 
When an automated [[Map_Problems_in_Waze_Map_Editor|map problem]] is reported and an editor marks it as "not identified", eventually Waze will consider sending IGN editors to that location to make changes to fix the problem. This is one reason why "not identified" is not recommended for automated map problems.

IGN Map editors are an extension of the Waze Geo-Ops (aka the Map Team) who edit parts of the North America and World maps.
