Communication

We will use these two methods to communicate:

• Waze's official but limited chat within WME (be sure to choose the Russia chat room in the chat window)
• Waze Global Discord Server. Editors are already added in groups in the Waze Global Server for even better communication
• Primary communication language is English as we have editors from 47 different countries. Please ask for help if you need help with translation
• When working in the raid area, please set yourself visible in WME chat and turn on the Users layer

Correcting base map

In many places, the base map needs to be corrected. Some segments were created long ago when imagery was not as good as it is today. Alignment and road types are important factors to make sure are correct.

While correcting base map please use both sources - sattelite images and GPS tracks.

Add missing roads

Please read the simple quick-start guide for a guideline on adding new roads.

If you notice any roads on the satellite layer that have not been added to the WME map, please add them. Make sure the road is complete, drivable and is connected to the rest of the road network. Some clues you can use to confirm smaller roads are:

• GPS layer showing Wazers are driving on the road.
• Information from local drivers who have been there (this can be you if you have been there).

When adding new roads please follow these guidelines:

1. All new road should be marked as Streets unless other type is not coordinated with you Group Leader
2. All new roads should not contain Speed Limits, Unpaved Flag
3. All new roads should not contain Street name and City unless the Street Name and City is not assigned by Group Lider. Please see the following section about long routes about the exceptions from this rule.
