Introduction

This page describes the editing roles that are possible to obtain in Waze editing, with a brief description of the responsibilities as well as what prerequisites must be met, if any.

Notes

  • All this information on this page is specific to the Great Lakes Region (GLR). While it may be true other places as well, be sure to consult the local leadership for more information
  • Note that editors can and will hold multiple roles on this page simultaneously
    • For example, when editors are promoted from R5 SM to R5 CM, R5 CM is granted as an additional title; the editor retains the SM title as well as all other titles held prior to the CM promotion
  • In the GLR, any rank or role promotion requires a fresh re-read of the Waze Etiquette Guidelines, along with the editor's explicit promise to always adhere to and promote those guidelines.

  • Notes: As long as the editor retains their AM status, the AM area they are granted will not expire after 90 days the way normal editable area does.

Large Area Manager

  • Abbreviation: LAM
  • Responsibilities: As the name suggests, LAMs manage a much larger portion of the map than AMs.
    • As a rough rule of thumb, it is typical to grant LAM areas measured in thousands or tens of thousands of square miles
