WELCOME
The MapRaid runs 27 October 2019, 19:00 UTC - 09 November 2019, 23:59 UTC (approximately).
Welcome to the Alabama and north Florida MapRaid! This MapRaid (MR) committee has invited editors from across the world to come together for two weeks to edit these areas from the Southeast region (SER) of Waze USA. We appreciate your contribution to this project, whether it's many edits to the map or just a few. Each and every one moves us one step forward towards reaching our goal: Fixing all Place-based issues on the map!
How we will we do this? All participants will be granted the ability to edit within the complete MR area for the duration of the raid. Each of you will also be attached to a raid group and area (a subset of the entire MR region). Each raid group will be provided a list of editing priorities. As raiders, it will be your task to work with your group to help knock those issues off the map!
MISSION & PRIORITIES
Our mission for this MapRaid is to improve all Wazers' experiences in Alabama and north Florida. We want to make it easier to Find a place in search (with complete and accurate business / entity details) and arrive at the correct location in a timely manner! To do this, our primary goal is to update as many places as possible and to resolve any existing place-based routing issues on the map.
These are our editing priorities:
- Place Point (PP) & Area Place (AP),
- Place Update Request (PUR),
- Residential Place Point (RPP),
- Parking Lot Road (PLR),
- House Numbers (HN),
- Map Problem (MP), and,
- Parking Lot Area (PLA). (Please work PLAs after priorities 1 thru 6 have been addressed.)
Please read this entire MapRaid wiki.

Every edit made should meet the goals of this MapRaid and make a noticeable improvement to the map. Do not make edits simply to gain points without improving the map.

If it looks like you are making unnecessary edits or hunting for points, you may be banned from this MapRaid and from future MapRaids. WME Settings
