Welcome to the Puerto Rico MapRaid. I would like to first apologize there is no wiki for Puerto Rico, as there have been no real local editors. 2nd, I would also like to apologize for the lack of StreetView on the island. 3rd, I would like to apologize for the not so great SATIMG on the island, as well. 4th, I would like to apologize there is no good GIS map for PR, either.

Places
All places are to be drawn fence line to fence line, as is the standard for the United States
Places should primarily be in Spanish and an alternative name for places of importance such as local airports, universities and hospitals.
City/Town Naming

- All Places that have complete information (to include, at a minimum, address/city, phone number) are to be locked at Level 2. This is to prevent loss of data due to automatic acceptance of Place Update submissions from Trusted Users, or Place Update Request approvals from other editors without careful examination.
- If you do not have a high enough enough rank to lock the place as indicated, please lock it as high as you can, and notify a higher rank AM, SM, CM, or Champ to lock it higher.

Note: Do Not Mass Edit just to update locks to these standards, these can be adjusted as you find them while editing other aspects of the segments such as FC, speed limits, naming, etc.
Some segments still warrant higher locks and care should be taken when setting segment lock to these standards to look for and protect these special setups with higher locks. Some examples; segments which are part of BDP, U-turn prevention, or using micro-doglegs, or other complex intersection setups.Reference Links
