- Driving Area - An area within a certain distance of roads you have driven recently How far this distance extends depends on your editing rank.
- Managed Area - Areas in which you are an Area Manager, whether or not you have recently driven in or nearby these areas.
You can highlight your editable area on the map by turning on the layer for Editable Area.

You don't need to drive in this managed area to keep it. You do have to remain an active editor to keep this area. You can also be assigmend managed area if you are part of a mapraid.
