Unlike a map raid this project will be a longer term effort where the focus will be cleanup and details within the editor’s selected area.  Priority should be given to areas of the map where known issues exist including areas that may have original base map import and places where address searches may not return optimal results.

Mission

The Validate Vermont Project has been setup to improve the experience of drivers using Waze in Vermont. Our efforts will not only improve the experience for Vermonters but more importantly for the large number of people who visit Vermont and may not be familiar with the area. The primary goal is to ensure that all addresses in Vermont can be properly located from within the Waze app.

This will be accomplished by updating routable segments to include proper primary and alternate city names. Segments should also include house numbers (or RPP if necessary).

Unlike a map raid this project will be a longer term effort where the focus will be cleanup and adding details within the editor’s selected area.  Priority should be given to areas of the map where known issues exist including areas that may have original base map import and places where address searches may not return optimal results.
